[_RT_]

 

[SunshineBoy]

I’m hearing AFL to scrap draft positions and introduce a lottery for the this years draft , thoughts people

Thoughts?
You’ll cause a meltdown

 

[YeOldTiger]

My current wish list for the draft:

1. Jagga Smith
2. Finn O'Sullivan
3. Sid Draper
4. Christian Moraes
5. Sam Lalor
6. Taj Hotton
7. Luke Trainor
8. Jack Whitlock

Have you thought about doing an early 1st Round mock draft Arty ? Imagine Richmond have 3, 8, 16 and 18 which would be a mighty haul especially if we kept our (early) 2nd (likely to be (25 or so).

Format:

1. North select etc
2. Hawks select etc
3. RICH SELECT - JAGGA SMITH etc
4. Eagles select etc...

Might be an interesting way to look at who we might reasonably target...

or perhaps a few of the draft nuffies here could do a way too early Phantom...

Smithopolous

Schmidt !

 

[YeOldTiger]

List of players I wouldn't be mad at if the club decided to target:

Ruck: Ned Moyle

KPP: Shannon Neale, Gruzewski, Derksen, Busslinger, Isaac Keeler

Mid: Alex Davies, Will Phillips

HB/Wing: Cumming, Fahey, Sinn, Binns

HF: Spargo

Getting Sinn and Binns would be too funny

Is Tiger71 with his micropenis still around giving us the insiders tea?

 

[captain cotch 9]

Is Tiger71 with his micropenis still around giving us the insiders tea?

I think he has been going through some personal things but he is on the podcast tonight with Michaels I'm pretty sure?

Have little knowledge about the draftees at present so it would be pointless really. I focus more on who I like that fits in with what I believe we need.

At this stage I'd love one of Smith O'Sullivan's or Draper, then Lalor, if we have 2 top 10 picks. Then someone like Whitlock with a latter R1 pick. For me at this stage it gives us 3 players who address areas we need to boost

 

[Michaels]

I think he has been going through some personal things but he is on the podcast tonight with Michaels I'm pretty sure?

Yep you are correct on both fronts!

He is still in a very very long recovery from a workplace head injury but is going to be joining us for 10 min tonight!

 

[Dragonss]

Are Whitlock bros a poor man's King bros?

 

[chriso11]

Why the f would we trade Baker
He is a heart and soul player… one of the few you can count on week in week out to play with grit, courage, skill. We need role models like Baker to take us back to the elite ranks. When there are so many other players we need to delist / retire I would make keeping Baker a top priority. Give him the captaincy and make him invest to the hilt as a lifetime Richmond player

 

[noobermensch]

Pure domination in this game from Josh Smillie - a performance worthy of a number one pick. He was unstoppable at stoppage racking up 12 clearances for the game, he applied strong defensive pressure when he didnt find it himself, he set up his teammates by hand and foot, and he even got forward to kick three majors of his own.

After this showing he's now clearly out front in the race to be pick one at the end of the year. Can anybody catch him?

Is Nick Martin still out of contract?

And Harley Reid. Bums the lot of em.

I get your point but this comes up every year. It might be a small risk but I don't think its much of one with Smillie myself.

It depends if they’re explosive as well

Smillie looks like he has a turn of speed. Would say he’s quicker than Cripps and Green, but not as skilled or agile as bont. Not bad company

You haven’t got josh smilie in top 10 , wow

As I've said numerous times, when I posted that I didn't expect us to be in the mix for him and I'm not sure we'll end up in the mix at seasons end either.

 

[Ctl]

If we rate Smilie that highly norf would probably be open to trading back given how many mids they have already, they could get a KPP and best available if they trade back

Hmm not usual for me but I don’t share your optimism, we really need 2 of TT Hopper Ross back to make a real diff, that won’t happen for another 6-8w , and I’m resigned to not seeing lynch again this year
