So if West Coast had #2, you'd swap it for 6 and 11? There's no way I would do that. Even in this alleged deep draft.

Yeah. We’ve done 2 for 8&12 and 3 for 12&14 so 2 for 6&11 would be a good deal for North. Especially since they need talls. I wouldn’t do it if I was the Tigers.
Would be say Langford and TT vs FOS

 

[Ruben Grubarb]

If is purely your speculation - please state as such.

What are you talking about?

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

What are you talking about?

You make out as if you know. Big statements about “it has to be x”.

In what world do you have such insights that prompts you to post so vehemently abc?

 

[dajesmac]

Enjoy your channels dajesmac - but not loving the way this particular mock draft has played out in your head!

Ugh, did not expect to see my own rude head when clicking your tag. It's too early for that.

Yeah - perhaps this is me catastophising but I feel we may get to our pick and all of Lindsay, Allan and Travaglia are gone. Hopefully I'm wrong and one of them slides. Out of the next batch of contenders OH is my preference to types like Berry, MReid & Hynes. Hotton was also unavailable as you can see.

I knew when uploading that that WC fans would hate it as much as anyone, but it was an honest prediction of who is likely to be gone by our pick. Hopefully I'm wrong - Lindsay is the man I'm hoping for.

 

[Ruben Grubarb]

No, I don't. I've never said I have inside information. And I've always maintained I have no idea which players will be better than others.

Trading a future first for Hamish Davis lost me

I think you’re looking great tbh

 

[Snowball81]

Trading a future first for Hamish Davis lost me tbh

Agree. Especially with the way he drops the ball to his boot. Although it reminds me a little of Adam hunter

 

[squashface]

We'd be mad not to pick Murphy Reid if he was available. One of the best in this draft imo and if we landed him it would make the pick 3 disaster trade slightly more palatable.

Said he loves the beach, surfing and the sun in one of his interviews so I'm sure Reuben can take him down to Dunsborough to get him settled in.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

No, I don't. I've never said I have inside information. And I've always maintained I have no idea which players will be better than others.

You strut around and post stuff with great certainty. Advice for you - be a little less assertive about opinions you have with scant research or connections. Humility is a good attribute.

Cool story, bro

This is from a recent post of mine (2136). Check the language I used.

I assume the #1 club
The AFL also may be
and potentially the clubs
what happens if?
they potentially don't want to
As for Saints, I assume
Let's say it's
there's absolutely no guarantee
I don't think
And I don't think we should

There's nothing about that that's assertive. But there are other posts where I am. You know why? Because in some instances, I'm sure. You act like every post I make that I'm sure about everything I say, and that I imply I have some sort of diving knowledge. That's just not true. What is true, is that you have come to an internet forum and got offended at some random person's opinion that you don't agree with.

So if West Coast had #2, you'd swap it for 6 and 11? There's no way I would do that. Even in this alleged deep draft.

If we had 2 and tigers offered 6 11 I'd take it in a heart beat.

Tigers won't do it.


We traded 2 for 9 14 in 2022.

We traded 2 for 9 14 in 2022.

1. Not every list manager knows what they're doing, just ask Campaigner Clarke.
2. We probably did that trade because Sheezel was a perceived flight risk and Wardlow had injury concerns. Then from there it looked pretty even. I was happy with that trade, there were exceptional circumstances, but in nearly every other season, I'm not doing it.

All other things being equal (i.e. Sheezel not being a flight risk, and Wardlow not having an injury cloud), what are you talking? Pick 2? Or 9 and 14?

Forget the FS/Academy points, pick 2 is usually going to be a better bet. Potentially for Richmond it means:

Lalor and Smith
v
Lalor and Smillie and Lindsay

I'm taking Lalor and Smith every time. Every club, in every draft will have a top group that would usually be 2-3 players. And I think a lot of clubs would do that deal to get their hands on the top two prospects.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

6 11 is overs for 2.

6 18 more like it.

They'd be lucky to get 6 and 24

You're right, I was trying to be the sensible middle BC Rueben seems to think the tigers would give up 6 11 for 2.

The player selected at 6 may well end up a better player than pick 2.

It makes no sense to give up 6 and 11 for 2

Said he loves the beach, surfing and the sun in one of his interviews so I'm sure Reuben can take him down to Dunsborough to get him settled in.

Only concern with Reid is his pace and defensive side of the game.

Reading other opinions on him he sounds a little like Chad Fletcher from the early 2000's and 2006 flag team. Gets plenty of the ball but lacks real pace.

But others are very complimentry about his u18 season.

Lindsay described on one of the phantom draft pods as a Zac Merett type mid. Size and playing style.

Lindsay described on one of the phantom draft pods as a Zac Merett type mid. Size and playing style.

Zac Merrett I’m not sure I agree with, whilst there are some similarities I see him as more of a Josh Kelly type. Lindsay has more penetration on his kick but doesn’t have as good of a tank as Kelly. Merrett is brilliant at lowering the eyes and hitting up teammates which is something Lindsay also does very well but doesn’t do it enough. Despite being my clear preference at 12 (excluding Travaglia) it’s one area of his game that I’ve constantly referred to that he can improve.

Watch Merrett’s game vs us or Freo last year and you can see just how good he is at this and how damaging it is leading to goals. Lindsay could potentially combine this with his 70m transition play and be an absolute star of the competition and a crucial cog in the supposed game plan. If that’s how we’re going to play footy we’ll also realise just how important it is for us to have a physical tap ruckman in the team if we don’t pick one up this year and Flynn doesn’t stay fit.

 

[uncleoatmeal]

I can't see Hamish Davis's kicking transferring into AFL, do not want. What we do with our second pick will be very interesting.

 

[WCE_phil]

Just to piss everyone off. I really hope we get to 12 and North come knocking with their future first.

 

[Ruben Grubarb]

The player selected at 6 may well end up a better player than pick 2.

It makes no sense to give up 6 and 11 for 2

I'm taking two from group A over one from Group A, one from Group B, and one from Group C, every day of the week.



If I'm Richmond, and 6 and 18 is no chance, I'm doing that deal.
If I'm North and Gaul is correct and Dees are going to take Tauru at 5, I'm just taking him with 2. But if Dees aren't taking Tauru, I'm doing that deal. I'm even taking 6 and 18.

 

[Ruben Grubarb]

Just to piss everyone off. I really hope we get to 12 and North come knocking with their future first.

I'm taking that. They're a chance of climbing, but I'm still taking it.

 

[Ruben Grubarb]

I don't want anyone slow and anyone who can't kick. If Reid comes to our first pick and Lindsay is gone, I'll take a chance. But guys like Hannaford, I don't want to take the risk (that's assuming my understanding is correct).

 

[eaglevision]

If Travaglia and Lindsay are gone I’ll take that if Norf throw in 62 and their F2 in exchange for Hawthorn’s F2.

Let’s remember they were happy to swap their F1 for 13 and that wasn’t enough. 12 will get them Shanahan, Armstrong or Whitlock and by all accounts aren’t all that enamoured with next year’s draft.
