Hope we use pick 6 to bid on him then
I suspect whatever deal is done with Richmond will include a 'no bidding on Lombard' agreement.
Be that pick 1,6,9,10,13 or whatever Richmond ends up with.
All completely unofficial of course.

I agree I don't think we would either but we might bid on Ashcroft with pick 6 if he is still there just to cost Brisbane more points.

If you do the deal with Brisbane (late picks/points for their 1st), I imagine Richmond will coincidentally decide Ashcroft wont be all that good either.
I also don't think he'll last until pick 6. (making pick 6 into pick 7).

There 1st is dropping in value real quick now. It could drop again after Graham gets to West Coast and we get a Band 2 compo pick.
Have no doubt and we will happily oblige

Not a fan of this at all, I assume you’re having a little bit of fun to get Richmond supporters excited.
If Richmond want pick six surely they will need to pay part of Rioli‘s wage already, Pic 13 has 6 to 8 clubs already scrambling to get it. Why would we give it to them for a bunch of late pics that potentially we don’t even need?
#6 + #20 for Rioli + #39 Richmond will pay $200k x 4 years'
If Gold coast value salary contribution more than future picks the ud be happy to pay $500k x 4 years for #13

Gold Coast is fully aware Lombardo is a top 5 pick. Everyone here just sleeping on that for some reason. With that in mind pick 6 value just isn’t that high . I think Eagles or Demons bid on him
Lombardo bid comes from Demons at pick 5 for sure as minimum

If a club bids on him in the top 10 they will likely get him. Meh

I disagree, if Richmond bid on him at pick 1 do you seriously think the Suns would match…. I don’t
He’s been ranked About 10-13 all year from memory

He just blitzed the combine
Gold Coast are taking Lombard no matter where he is bid
all your valuable picks will already be traded and you will match with rubbish picks
How long you been following trades maybe read up on how it works ?

Richmond won't bid at all, even at 6. But imo the Suns match anywhere.

Not necessarily.
He looks to be good, and of course we'd like to have him, but he's an undersized mid (178cm), and we already have plenty (too many?) of them, so if the price was too high and we let him slide, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world from a list management perspective.
Aside from the player himself, there are 2 further considerations.
Firstly, it's good for morale (both club and academy) if we continue to pick up the local kids, so yes, there is certainly a push to take him.
At the same time, passing would send a signal to other clubs that they shouldn't bid expecting it to be matched. Sometimes they might have to take the player, so they should bid only if they're genuinely willing to take the player at that pick.
In summary, we'll match reasonable bids, but I doubt we'd go crazy and match 'anything'.

Lombard is one of the best 6 players in this draft.
Exactly right. I think people forget even suns supporters that if he wasn't an academy player he would easily be a top 5 player in the draft honestly
So Craig Cameron has all but confirmed 6 will be handed over for Rioli.
The question is what else will be thrown in?
