Agreed but they say this one is.. probably because top 10 loaded with mids
It’s is odd that this years draft is supposed to be a good one but everyone seems to be trading out of it

Makes you realise that if North were smart enough to pick Harley last year, their entire fortunes would have changed and they would have become attractive to players like Houstan. Real sliding doors moment.

There are sides trading back because the depth is there and there are sides trading out because they have academy kids. This draft is genuinely good. Better than next years or last yearsIt’s is odd that this years draft is supposed to be a good one but everyone seems to be trading out of it

We may have at least two players potentially looking at nominating for the draft with trade negotiations potentially stalling
If it's one player left stranded after the trade period, then the AFL can kinda brush it off as "these things happen", but if it's two players then maybe there's a bit more discussion around the movement of out of contract players
I think that to play as well as he has forward of the ball in an ordinary side has been a pretty outstanding effort TBH. It's not like he's Toby Greene playing in front of that GWS midfield.
I don't know exactly how "they" work out whether the draft will be good or not, because the kids can obviously only play each other. Well, apart from those two week VFL appearances.
You mean if North had traded for West Coast #1 pick? I think WC said they would trade P1 for P2 and P3

Think they mean North should have not won that game late and been spooners

So, it looks like Richmond will hold 1, 6, 10, 11, 18, 20, 23 & 24 this afternoon....

2001 was a super draft but the first round still featured Graham Polak, Xavier Clarke, Ashley Sampi, Luke Molan, Sam Power, Richie Cole, Ashley Watson, Barry Brooks, Rick Ladson and Shane Harvey.
They get one shot here to get it right. Developing the players properly with a lack of senior players and getting smashed every week will be the issue. If you draft any interstate players particularly they are going to be a big flight risk if they get smashed for the next 2-3 years which you would expect with their exodus, even if they do draft well.
Agree to disagree. He wanted out of the club and they got a ransom for someone who gave up at times during games.
To spice up the trade period perhaps we need to add an extra component to it ...
We all know that Mackie has a rep for being big on the yap when playing ….
Just who is going all in today ….. Who is Mackie …Who is Power ….

Herschel Walker-type deal. Would be hilarous if that happened and Reid's career went the same way as Walker's did at the Vikings.So, it looks like Richmond will hold 1, 6, 10, 11, 18, 20, 23 & 24 this afternoon....

A WCE dynasty wouldn't be as hilarious though I guess.

Their senior players are ok. They could be somewhat competitive next year (say 13-16) if things go right.
The problem is their 19-26 year olds. Literally their second best player in that group behind Balta is someone like Rhyan Mansell or Maurice Rioli jnr. It's comically bad.
Basically if that group continues to look utterly dire then they could smash this draft and they'll still have a weak group of young players by league standards.

Bolton has games in which he is worth 10 and 11 possibly more. Then he has games in which he is worth 35-50
So, it looks like Richmond will hold 1, 6, 10, 11, 18, 20, 23 & 24 this afternoon....

Wc takes the call … what do you want for Harley Reid? All of them…
The way West Coast have been working the trade table so far I wouldn't put it past them to send Reid to Richmond along with a first and second round pick.

Xavier Clarke could have been absolutely anything but for a bit of luck.
