Don't think so.Unpopular opinion
Smillie may end up better than last years number 1 pick
Stuff Harley Reid , keep pick 1
Maybe it should be me. I did the Taranto one miles in advance and then he picked usCan someone start a welcome Harley Reid #9 thread?
That was Lockett and the Swanettes - Judd never seriously entertained us and pretty much thought we were a joke....Unless the CFL stop us like they did when Chris Dudd wanted out of West Coast.
We offered the better deal but told us to let him to go Blooze with the brown paper bags!!!
2019 we were making finals. So Grigg freeing up a spot was important for Pickett. Not many of our players pull the pin early like Caddy. Like Naismith, Grimes & Tarrant they seem to hang around for the season.Should have retired before MSD they would have known he was cooked, Griggs did it to get Pickett in 19 some of our leaders are selfish and our culture sucks
He wasn't wrong but then picked CarltonThat was Lockett and the Swanettes - Judd never seriously entertained us and pretty much thought we were a joke....
TBF they offered the chance to follow his real dream of getting into the cardboard packaging industry...He wasn't wrong but then picked Carlton![]()
Shanahan had probably his best Champs performance in the Allies final game of the series. Matched up on Riak Andrew, the two had a ding dong battle with both having some big moments to impress the scouts. Shanahan probably just shaded the contest, taking some nice grabs and booting three majors.
I'm not saying that Bolton isn't a star player, as he certainly is. My point is that he isn't someone that I'd build a side around. He is a cream on top type, which I believe you agree with given the bolded above.I disagree with that bolded part, strongly.
All he needs is everything not to go wrong around him, something he shares with just about every player in the competition who isn't a bull inside mid.
In 2022 Bolton was the 17th highest rated player in the AFL in a decent but not dominant team, as a 23yo.
In 2023 Bolton was the 19th highest rated player in the AFL in a team that was competitive but below average.
He was Richmond's highest and second highest(not far behind Taranto) coaches vote winner in those seasons. This would historically equate to B & F finishing positions and is what people mostly think of as a team's best player.
Imo it is just straight out wrong to say Bolton needs it all set up for him. He is a genuine star player, easily our most valuable player and is every chance to do untold damage in big games throughout his prime.
He may have said no to us but we had the better offer and he was contracted so he didn't have a say.No, I'm saying if we get pick 8 just take Allan. Don't give up an extra pick just because 3 is a 'better' pick.
Chris Judd told us to GAGF. Never wanted to play for us. Thank Christ he did, we would have given away Cotch and Rance.
100% agreed but the AFL told us to butt outWe offered them Cotchin & Rance for Judd....
I think we got lucky there tbh..
He did but we still had the better offer to actually get him as he was contractedThat was Lockett and the Swanettes - Judd never seriously entertained us and pretty much thought we were a joke....

As I said earlier today, if the roles were reversed there would not be a single Richmond fan who would happily see the club hand over 4 R1 picks for him, even if they were mid/late R1 picks like Fremantle has, which is why I don't believe Fremantle will hand over what you and others suggest they should.
WC fans would ask for pick #1Everyone getting excited about Harley Reid means we probably end up with Archer Reid
Hartley doesn't pick ND picks.I’d doubt we do go smilie , Hartley has form and he never goes for the obvious more likely someone like Reid , ranked like top 5 but not obvious big cohuna
Isn’t there 2 pre sec round norf priority pics so plus 2 to the aboveI've been pondering on this issue that has vexed a few of us.
The answer now seems obvious to me. If you take pick 30 of the draft you are getting the 30th best player and it doesn't matter that is was the 20th best player that was available to you. All the 29 players taken before your pick are out there in the system playing against you(obviously bar any you have taken yourself.) So if pick 20 is shunted to pick 30, it is worth pick 30, end of.
Def would have input but yea would let toce decideHartley doesn't pick ND picks.
Toce will be picking. Reckon he will go the high upside guy.
I think Yze does too. Look at the way we cut the Swans up with the 45 degree ball into the corridor.Toce values guys who use the ball well. Look at his Saints picks.
