I love how you're purposely picking a "bad" pic (if there is such a thing) of our Baz.

But why???

 

[Johanpetro]

Gold Coast (and GWS) have a unique problem, though, in that they are drowning in high draft picks, but nobody wants to bloody stay there past 25.

They also just have to make the finals sometime soon, just get in there. This isn't going to happen in the next two years on the back of Pick Six.

Hence, why a draft pick is probably worth less to GC than most other clubs, and an established player with leadership qualities is worth more.

what leadership qualities? Because he’s 27? He’s not part of any of Richmond’s leadership group.

He ain’t worth pick 6, they could’ve worked out a way to get him for less, or split the pick etc. don’t know why you continue to defend all these dogshhh trades that have happened.

[cat_shack]

That is outrageous. Guy is 31 next year and isn’t in there best 23. I’d say 47 is generous.

 

[MisterMarcus]

Probably they know they're going to get (as they see it) a disappointing outcome for Smith.

So now they are being difficult over these fringe players in some misguided "We're Big Toughies" act to placate their supporters.

 

[#cats2021]

But why???

Yeah they haven't got much idea over at Whitten Oval. They would have known that Jack and Caleb were likely gone. A smarter club would have pumped games into them in the back half of the season to inflate their value and maximise their haul, just like they do in the states.

Many clubs are still well behind the eight ball on how they view and manage these things.

 

[cats_09]

Richmond now has the chance to consider whether it is keen to trade up to the No. 2 pick overall given North Melbourne’s willingness to slide back for an extra draft selection.

That move would require two first-round picks but would see the Tigers with picks one, two and six overall in the draft.

---

IF North is willing to trade pick 2, and willing to trade it to Richmond, then surely they should be demanding pick 6 as part of any deal

6 and 10 at minimum you would think

I would be asking for more personally

I might be nice and leave Richmond with 10, but I'd be asking for 6, 11 & 18

Mate, Rioli won the B&F
GC are not using pick 6. It absolutely is overs on the surface. But there's more to it obviously.

 

[D BRIDGE]

Won’t be shocked to see the Tiges aim for #2.

Not sure if it’ll happen or if they will even pursue it but I’ve thought doing so makes sense for a while.

They’d know who they want in the draft and what picks they’d likely need to land them.

Jagga Smith and FOS are teammates + the Tigers have had them play in their VFL team.

I reckon there’s a chance they’d want both those guys.

I doubt the Roos want either so high possibility a trade happens if the Tigers go for it.

I hope they do this! What a great move.

Haha wow he won a best and fairest in a team that won 2 games. Stop the presses

 

[iameviljez]

The guy just put together an excellent season in a club that fell to bits, having that mature head around is going to really matter to a team like GC.

He ain’t worth pick 6, they could’ve worked out a way to get him for less, or split the pick etc. don’t know why you continue to defend all these dogshhh trades that have happened.

Defend? Not really - I think they did overpay, but I can see the justification for it.

To most clubs, established players are plentiful enough, but high draft picks and access to elite talent is absolute gold. To Gold Coast, it's the other way around - no shortage of talent whatsoever, especially with the upcoming Academy haul. Rioli was in-contract, so no deal was a real possibility.

It's like being a Western tourist in a developing country - you will get absolutely ripped off, but the price is less important to you than the goods because you've already got plenty of money.

 

[Tony Barber]

I do kind of like suspense movies.
Can we flick Smith and just wait for trade night?

And I dont mean that we shaft the bulldogs. But if on trade night Wells says "there's a guy there that I cant believe is still there"

And takes that player instead.
And then with live picks maybe trades up to get Smith?

 

[Tony Barber]

Well, to win it you need to be the best. Pretty simple.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

I’m not sure how it will all end up but Richmond’s draft haul is exciting. To be bringing that large a crop of youngsters in at once is quite unique.

I don't know that it's that unique

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Help please, I just need to know if I'm reading the following correctly

Fremantle just paid 4 x first round picks for Shai Bolton & pick 14...





Edit addition - if trading 4 first round picks, surely they could have sent that Sydney for Chad Warner who is surely a better player


And this kinda seems like Fremantle's moment of - "Hey WCE, you think you're the only one who can complete crazy stupid trades... Watch this"

This is so much more than we paid for Cameron it's mind boggling

[CatToTheFuture]

This was their haul the last time they had a "super draft hand" (5 in the top 30):

Josh Gibcus - #9
Tom Brown - #17
Tyler Sonsie - #28
Sam Banks - #29
Judson Clarke - #30

Me if I'm the Richmond recruiting team:

In this draft even messing the picks up they'll still land players
