That would be negligent of them to take 3 key forwards in one draft.
The best ruck in the draft is on the board, and you said it yourself they need ruck.
So? They don't have any AFL level key position talent besides Balta prior to this draft (Lynch is cooked, Nank has another year or two max). They need to load up. They also need a ruck.
Given the time it takes for them to develop into AFL players, you're better off taking a few and hoping you...
Don't think Shanahan will make it to 19. I have doubts whether he'll make it to 13 haha
Richmond literally dont have anyone, they 100% need a KPF. Even if Lynch is fit the full season. Cal on Gettable mentioned that Whitlock twins at 15 and 16 is something thats being looked at. Saints need...
...life changing effects from concussion is huge.
Angus Brayshaw
Paddy McCartin
Nathan Murphy
Daniel Venables
Jake Kelly
Paul Seedsman
Marcus Adams
MaxLynch
Aiden O'Driscoll
All of the above players have retired due to concussion issues over the last couple of years and I've probably missed some
Rankine is the clear match-up for either Betts or Cameron - probably Cameron - but he can't replace both.
Soligo the Sloane equivalent.
Walker is on both the 2014 & 2025 lists - so surely he just cancels himself out?
So let's compare for a moment, the 2014 to 2025 equivalents
Best Player In the Game with plenty left to play (Dangerfield) - Dawson (but really not even close)
600 goal, 3xAA experienced small forward (Betts) - ???
B&F and AA winning experienced mid (Thompson) - Laird
All Australian experienced...
Fogarty, Daniher, McKay, curnow, wright, stringer, amiss, Cameron (would’ve been high if not a pre select), Ben king, hogan, lynch, max king, Darcy, JUH
All top 10 picks or very close to it and all among the leading goal kickers the last few years. Yes some come from later (mihocek, Tracey...
...T.Brown - delisted
Quaynor - still on list
Sier - delisted
Crocker - delisted
Bosenavulagi - traded
Tohill - retired
Madgen - delisted
MaxLynch - traded (later medically retired)
Cox - still on list
Keane - retired then came back to the comp (crows)
Wilson - delisted
I count 13 players who...
I still don't the Tigers winning a game next season, but like I said why would you care given you've just won 3 premierships.
No issue with getting a handful of kids and looking forward to the next run. It's what we did but it comes with plenty of pain.
I don't watch Tigers games, so I can't...
:think:
Prestia, Lynch, Broad, McIntosh, Vlastuin, Nankervis, Short, Hopper, Taranto, Miller, Balta, Mansell, Ross, Koschitzke, Ralphsmith have all played 50+ and probably at least a dozen of them are starters.
Doubt we take any DFAs. Maybe one max. Think we'll pump games into the kids for a...
I haven’t watched much of the talls. Don’t know how reliable junior form is with these guys, anyway, but I really want forwards who are physical; Lynch, Treacy types rather than a Max King or a Mitch McGovern who have athletic attributes and are nice players but don’t impose physically. Jack had...
A ruckman just wasn't a need back in 2016. Back then ROB was just 22 years old, and the heir-designate to Jacobs, who still had 3 more years to run.
Suggesting that we missed out on another ruckman 8 years ago is revisionism of the very worst kind. You're completely missing, probably...
...ruckmen were taken after pick 75:
Sam Draper, Lachlan Filipovic, Peter Ladhams, Rowan Marshall, Luke Strnadica, Oscar McInerney and MaxLynch
Of those players there was about a 50% strike rate of getting someone AFL quality. If we had chosen to target a ruck the strike rate was well above...
The biggest part of the gamble is getting these young players up to AFL standard over the next 3-4 years with only a handful of senior players continuing with them.
Hopper, Prestia, Short and Taranto will be shouldering a lot of the burden in driving this team forward. Nank, Lynch and Vlaustin...
would nut with a haul like that, haven't looked much at trav n trainor tho
maybe instead of trainor we can get bo allen just to troll the WA teams a little bit
WHO THE TIGERS COULD TAKE IN DRAFT'S FIRST ROUND
Chris Cavanagh examines the players in Richmond's sights with bumper national draft hand
PICK 1: SAM LALOR
GWV REBELS
Rival clubs believe Lalor is the favourite to be this year’s No. 1 pick. The Bacchus Marsh local battled some injury issues...
We have enough players on the books to front end to meet the 95%
Hopper $750k x 5
Taranto $750k x 5
Lynch $1.5 mil
Balta just signed
Broad just signed
Vlastuin - Pay him up
Cap space is vital after 2025 for cap trading to get picks and free agents
cant just throw it away to get a small upgrade...
They are the AFL’s real-life “Jerry Maguires” – the player agents behind the game’s biggest stars, who are charged with negotiating major contracts and helping broker blockbuster trades.
Love them or hate them, none of the likes of Dan Houston, Bailey Smith, Daniel Rioli, Liam Baker or Tom...
Lol imagine describing the biggest haul of picks ever for an established club as doing half a job.
It seems pretty clear to me Richmond want to trade out smaller bodies and retain bigger bodies, which seems sensible when you have a load of talented kids about to enter the team.
