Even if it can happen Richmond won’t be looking to trade any future picks to enhance this years draft hand. Even with this draft looking very deep to potentially top talent up to picks 25-30.
Teams have learnt from the expansion teams that the cap squeeze that comes along with loading up on first round picks from one draft can put teams in very difficult positions down the track.
If we draft well we are perfectly placed to climb as Tassie come in.We realistically need 3 good drafts, especially while we have Taranto, Hopper, Balta and Bolton.
Plenty to work with and some upcoming cap space. If we can attract a key forward and nail some good kids we could be good to go sooner than later.

first we need to nail this years trade periodIf we draft well we are perfectly placed to climb as Tassie come in.
Nor is LalorNot happy Saints getting lalor
Good point mmNor is Lalor
we need to nail this draft, hit it hard otherwise we could be years and years in the wilderness, We do not want another 30 years plus like the last one where we where not even near it for years and years.first we need to nail this years trade period
then nail the draft period
this can set us in motion for the next 3 years of the draft
agree, hence why a successful trade period (trading on quality players for quality draft picks)we need to nail this draft, hit it hard otherwise we could be years and years in the wilderness, We do not want another 30 years plus like the last one where we where not even near it for years and years.
Us down the bottom now is heaven compared to the troughs of the thirty year plus drought
if we need to carry the cost of a contract for a season - so be itAnother effect of all the bloody injuries is how it’s impacted and complicated prospective contracts.
We have to use 95% of Salary Cap, I’m sure the FD would have loved to see Gibcus play well all year and earn a bigger contract. Ross and MRJ as well.
Brown has been good more often than not but should he be in the top 6 paid players at the club?
If we lose
Martin
Baker
Rioli
Bolton
Who are we going to spend the cap on?
Lynch, Balta, Nank, Vlaustin
Might need a salary dump trade and carry the cost for a season…?
Yeah, I agreeif we need to carry the cost of a contract for a season - so be it
what ever we need to do to get more low picks in our hand, we should look into
Could have been faster but they butchered 3 top 10 picks the following 2 years.Yeah, I agree

All from the 2015 draft, it took em 8 years to play a prelim but now they’re set
That’s how far ahead we have to aim for.
I reckon CCJ pulled the wrong lever only turned 25 couple of weeks ago could’ve had a big payday if he hadve held his nerve and was patient.
The same guys that had mcgrath, boyd, watts, rayner etc as clear number one picks.I feel like the experts that scout these guys for a living that nearly all have Smillie #1 might actually know what they're talking about...
If he does want to head there and this is an option we should be targeting their 2 first rounders for paying Dusty’s contract plus all our other late picks to match a Lombard early bid.If Dusty wants to head to GC then Richmond should be offering to pay his salary for a year for pick 7 trade.
