Could have f2 and/or f3 going back.

Edit: eg 4 & F1 for 2 & F2.
North take Tarau at 4 - still probably a reach but they upgrade F2 to F1 to justify it
I think crows don’t have a F1……I’d rather give crows our F1 for 4.


Yes yes I know “F1’s are worth pick 15 in this draft” people…..cue the TikTok algorithm .


Think some should google 2025 draft prospects. There’s even a thread on here.

Who knows, but if North want Tauru at 2, but are confident he gets to 7, it works for North and may be the best they can do if they're not interested in future picks.
Too much risk for me. There’s tigers and Dee’s with tantalising picks/options before 7.
Tauru hasn’t played for a month approx and has climbed boards at a rapid rate. He could go at 1 at the rate he has climbed. I don’t think he will, I’m projecting.
But I bet, even if we have 6, Dees will play funny buggers with 5.

Position of F1s, waiting an extra year and quality of draft not being as well known drives a big discount on F1.

Sensible decision is to hold F1 if you feel clubs are devaluing it too much.

You'd need to be either really confident that he gets to 7 or happy with who else would be available.

You need Melbourne to fall in love with somone at 2 and split 9 with GWS for 15 and 16 and then give you 5 and 15 for 2. Don't think it's that likely though.
 
Are VIC based clubs expecting Josh Smillie to slide to the 2nd round?
No. He'll go at 6 if Richmond holds it, or likely to St Kilda if we don't. If he gets past there Melbourne will probably take him at 9, and if they don't, Richmond definitely will at 10 or 11.

Potentially a three-way with Saints and GWS emerges (maybe later pick swaps to balance out):

North In: 7, 15
Out: 2, F1

GWS In: 2, 32
Out: 15, 16

Saints In: North F1 and 16
Out: 7, 32

Don't think North should or would do that deal but I am just pointing out what I think it would take.
GWS would be pulling off the biggest heist since The Great Train Robbery.

Even if Richmond do get #2, feel they're just as likely to take Jagga as FOS, being a better counterpoint to Lalor.
Nope. (He's not a better counterpoint either.)

Not a chance in hell we will offer pick 4 and future 1st for 2 .Why would we it will either be draper, smith ,FOS, langford or lalor.

I wonder if North discussed trading with you guys for pick 4 at the trade table. We’ve got a couple of promising SA blokes, plus others like Phillips etc that could have been of interest with our F1.
Would’ve been chatted about, surely. Too late now.

Rich give Pick 10 for Port 13+29
Saints give Pick 7 for 11+20
Nth give Pick 2 for 7+18

Saints end up with 8+11+20
Nth 7+18
Rich with 1+2+6+13+23+24+29, give 10+11+18+20 for 2+13+29
On the surface that looks like a very reasonable deal all-round.

Assuming North take Tauru at 7, it means we could take Allan at 8 and then potentially one of Reid or Lindsay at 11, which I think would be an excellent result for us. I don’t think there’s much between the group that will go 8-12 or so.

Then we get an extra first rounder as a bonus. Grab a Whitlock or Dodson there.

If we weren’t going to get 2, that could be our next best bet.

North and tigers would be mad to do those deals

That would achieve exactly what North seem to be trying to do, if they were sure they would get Tauru at 7.

Their objective seems to be:

Get Tauru and another top 20 pick.

Getting 7 and 18 for 2 potentially achieves both of those objectives.

And if doing those deals means Richmond get 2, without having lost 6, they achieve what they seem to want to do.

While we presumably get the guy we would have taken at 7, at 8, then we have another crack just 3 picks later, then a bonus pick at 20.

Looks like an excellent result all-round to me.

The only potential issue (if North are sure Richmond won’t take Tauru at 6), is the potential of Melbourne spoiling the party at 5.

Otherwise, that seems like a deal that has a lot to like from all parties.

Terrible for North and St Kilda, but I think the three teams could make something work.

Maybe North In: 7, 15
Out: 2, F2

Saints In: 2, 16
Out: 7, 8

GWS In: 8, North F2
Out: 15, 16

North hope for Tauru at 7, get Armstrong if he goes earlier and then probs Trainor at 15

Saints get their highest or second highest rated mid at 2 (I'd love Draper, but probs FOS), and best available at 16

GWS get Travaglia at 8, and some points for academies next year. Seems a win, win, win to me, with the only snag being GWS list spots? Do how many do they need to draft?
Yuck
