I'm pretty convinced that the Dogs insisted on holding Pick 13 with McAsey in mind. If he goes before then, and Kemp is still around, I reckon Richmond could get a deal done. Would rather we just took Kemp ourselves, but it's not like we have a shortage of big bodied mids
Surely we got the kid to tank his pre draft interview with other clubs, ie: i love to party and in two years i will just ask for a trade to chase the cash anyway.
For some reason, I'm not convinced on Stephens but happy to be proven wrong - will back him if picked but I would love Trent Rivers here as he is still available on the phantom draft.
Happy with this.
Happy with this but Brock Smith goes with the very next pick who I like - tough one.
I guess we need to bring in some KPP's.
Trust our recruiters, they've been excellent the past few years. Really excited for this time of year. Something I really enjoy and can't wait for next week!
Exactly, they've nailed so many selections.
Never going to happen , He will be gone by pick 11 otherwise hawks will pounce
Kemp is probably the last type of player the Doggies need and would be looking for either a KPD or Small Fwd imo , Weightman might still be available at #19 if that trade was to be considered but what would the Doggies be wanting to downgrade their #13 to #19
Be a great pick up for the Doggies...MGeorgiades...him and Naghton, twin towers, would terrify defenders...a bit like us and wet toast...Kemp is probably the last type of player the Doggies need and would be looking for either a KPD or Small Fwd imo , Weightman might still be available at #19 if that trade was to be considered but what would the Doggies be wanting to downgrade their #13 to #19
On another note - Knightmare has conveniently selected for Collingwood
35. Collingwood: Mitch Georgiades (WA)
Height, Weight: 192cm/87kg
Profile: The son of former Footscray forward John, Mitch is an athletic key forward who missed the season with a quad injury. Georgiades possesses a good leap, speed and is a strong mark aerially and on the lead.
If he goes to scumwood i hope he does what his old man did, kick 8 on debut then disappear.Kemp is probably the last type of player the Doggies need and would be looking for either a KPD or Small Fwd imo , Weightman might still be available at #19 if that trade was to be considered but what would the Doggies be wanting to downgrade their #13 to #19

I'm kinda disappointed that we mostly traded out of this draft - Georgiades could be a steal since he missed most of this year with that quad injury. I know you shouldn't get roped into the fairytales of grabbing every player you can with a family link, but I like MitchKemp is probably the last type of player the Doggies need and would be looking for either a KPD or Small Fwd imo , Weightman might still be available at #19 if that trade was to be considered but what would the Doggies be wanting to downgrade their #13 to #19

There is no chance i would do that deal to upgrade from 19 to 13I'm kinda disappointed that we mostly traded out of this draft - Georgiades could be a steal since he missed most of this year with that quad injury.

For Dogs to downgrade our Pick 13, I'd assume Richmond would be the ones desperate so would likely overpay. I'd be thinking we'd try snag your next years 1st if possible (assuming it's 16-18) and send a 3rd on the way back. Would be massively in our favour, but in the context of the draft it would mean Richmond snagging a player who I rate as top 5 in this draft (really only Rowell is outright better, Kemp has argument for being 2nd best if it weren't for that knee).
In fairness, I'd bet it would more likely take a 2nd to get that kind of deal done, but in the context of live trading, it's often the team desperately trying to trade up that gets reamed, which is why I'm suggesting something so heavily in the Dogs favour. I'd personally want the value of an early to mid second rounder as payment for swapping 13 for 19, but I'd guess the price would be higher in reality
I wouldn't do the deal either if I were Richmond - I'm simply suggesting what I think it would likely end up costing. Hardly worth doing unless Richmond think he's the next coming of Bontempelli like some have suggested (which is a huge gamble)
Yeah I wonder if they have interest in Will day. Should get 3 handy players in that range
Possibly moving up the order also
