They won't. They need points this year.
It would be F1 only. Great for Brisbane, nowhere near enough for Richmond. That's why it's not being discussed.
what do you mean no where near enough for RFC??? on what measure no where near enough?They won't. They need points this year.

In all seriousness the AFL would have to pay it. Like this is a great opportunity.Flog Morris explaining how ladder position is the most important factor in determining a compensation pick.
Pick 2 for Graham lol?
I think something tricky is happening with Jack Graham. Certainly enough to ensure we get band 2/3 compo, which will be a consideration in any trade with WCE for Baker.
Baker for 14 (from Hawthorn).
Rioli for 6 + 23 hurts, but it's the maximum value we'll get for him at the trade table. We might need to send back a pick in the 40's.
Bolton is they key to another top 5 pick (and enough to give us a shot at 2 of FOS, Lalor and Smith).
Bolton + pick 20 (from Brisbane for our junk picks) for #3. I think that deal could get done.
That gives us 1, 3, 6, 14, 23, 24, 25 as our first seven picks. A very good draft hand that brings in 3 of the top 10 and 7 players inside the top 30 (after father-son, academy selections). Essentially the pick of the mids and then a couple of talls.
Thoughts?
Just get the feeling there’s gonna be some scrambling for points on the day for FS & academy selections which will still put RFC in a strong position….
Don’t like this at all. If they come to us wanting him, why would we pay part of his wage in 2025? IMO, this should only happen when the club is trying to get rid of the player & paying part or all of his wage is a sweetener. Not the case here.Hypothetically if Brisbane came to us and offered this years first and future first for lynch and only if lynch wanted to go would we take it and we pay his wage next year I say grab it while we can as we all know Lynch won’t be part of our next premiership chase
Correct me if i am wrong but I believe the compo picks come immediately after your own pick in that particular round.dont rule out the cfl placing a couple of compo picks before our pick 1
Other than Baker - they are terrible deals.I think something tricky is happening with Jack Graham. Certainly enough to ensure we get band 2/3 compo, which will be a consideration in any trade with WCE for Baker.

You say quite possible and I'd say extremely unrealisticI'd be keeping an eye on what the Saints and GWS do when it comes to trading up the order. 7 & 8 puts the Saints in a strong position to target either 2 or 3, while GWS could use a combination of their 15, 16 & 21 to target one of the Saints picks, then use that and the left over from 15, 16 & 21 to then target 2 or 3 themselves.
For example:
Saints could very well target pick 2 & 25 from North or pick 3 26 & 32 for picks 7 & 8. Both North & WCE would love to have 2 top 10 picks to target players they need to continue their builds.
GWS could offer 16 & 21 to Saints for pick 8 & 46, then offer 8 15 & 46 for 3 & 26 from WCE or 2 & 25 from North.
Both scenarios are quite possible and makes us trading up for those picks not as simple as it once was.
After bids Freos picks will probably look like 12,13,21.
Hawthorns first will push out too 17.
Gold Coasts will be 7,16,26
12&13 for Bolton is still unders for mine.
7&26 for Rioli is unders.
17 for Baker is probably unders aswell.
If we get band 3 comp for Graham then we’re looking at pick 41 which is pretty average considering.
I would be playing a lot tougher if I was Richmond as we’ve two of these players under contract and are in the drivers seat.
That’s good news. I’m an amateur with no decision making authority. Blair Hartley and his team will do better. I’m not sure we’re getting Harley Reid for Baker, but let’s wait and seeOther than Baker - they are terrible deals.
Don't be shocked to see deals along those lines floated and possibly even made over the next week and a half. Saints and Giants will both look to move up to the top 5 to get their hands on the top end talent and they have the draft capital to make it very tempting to the likes of North WCE Crows & MelbourneYou say quite possible and I'd say extremely unrealistic
paying a wage has nothing to do with getting rid of a player.Don’t like this at all. If they come to us wanting him, why would we pay part of his wage in 2025? IMO, this should only happen when the club is trying to get rid of the player & paying part or all of his wage is a sweetener. Not the case here.
It's a very good point though. There's outrage when McKay gets pick 3 vs Buddy getting pick 19, but there's a very good reason for it.Flog Morris explaining how ladder position is the most important factor in determining a compensation pick.
Not for us it is. As well as our No 1 pick and first pick of the 2nd round and subsequent rounds plus the PSD and rookie drafts we are just lucky that we have players who are leaving who have capitol.
This draft is choc full of talent and we will have the most first-rounders. Players up to 30 in this draft would likely be a first-rounder in any other draft, like 12 to 20.
Why do you think North and the Eagles want to give up picks 2 and 3 as they want multiple first-rounders due to the level of talent on offer. If all else fails we will still have 1, 6, 10, 11, 14, 20, 23, 24
Hopefully we can get our hands on pick 2 or 3 and GC 13 (longshot) which will add to the above picks which will turbo charge our rebuild.
Just on 2021 Gibcus and Brown look like beauties. I rate Judson Clarke and will be a regular. Banks is looking ok and Sonsie im 50/50. If we get 3 out of 5 making it we have done well. Its a numbers game the more high end picks we have the more likely we will nail them.
