Pick 10 + 23 for Pick 8 + 32 + F3 (Saints)

Pick 8 + 20 for pick 2 + F3 (North) - if they want 18 it’s their F2.

I don’t think they’ll go for 10 or later as the trade for pick 2. Pick 8 is potentially the latest because they will still have a high chance of getting Tauru.

Melbourne are unlikely to take Tauru at 5 as the mid they want will be gone by 9.

St Kilda may be more likely to take Tauru at 7 but potentially miss out on a Travaglia or sliding midfielder or someone else they rate higher.

Lalor, FOS, Smillie…

I know almost everyone has us taking Smillie at 6.

After the pod tonight I watched 10 min of footage of him and I honestly didn't have anything jump out at me saying 'yep, we MUST take this guy'.

If Jagga or Draper somehow get to 6 I'd be all on board for them I think.

All about how he projects as an AFL player a few years into the system imo.

He hunts the ball, has nice spatial awareness and agility, a neat ball user and obviously has a frame that will enable him to add strength and size with a few years in the AFL system.

He’s well below Jagga and Draper’s in terms of pure midfield craft, but if he can develop into the genuine big body mid who can be a legit resting forward (good ish forward craft but poor aerially) he provides a point of difference that Jagga and Draper don’t and won’t ever have.

Bigger risk but bigger reward in my view; which is why the risk might be more palatable at 6/7.

Rather take Reid over smilie. Reid’s the forgotten man and will be a gun.

Who's the mid?

None. If we did, and he did, then he's the dumbest of dumb campaigners.

Why would it be dumb?

If I put myself into the shoes of a similar player, being drafted by Richmond looks an incredibly appealing proposition in comparison to the viable alternatives.

1. Big club, huge following, the prospect of lots of matches in front of huge crowds
2. Very stable club with an impeccible recent record for player treatment
3. a salary cap position that should see you on big money from a young age if you are good enough - which means making more money overall in your career
4. avoid North, interstate move, Melbourne & all their issues, Saints penchant for tragedy etc.

What exactly would be dumb about increasing your chances of getting to Richmond's second pick and avoiding most of those other clubs between pick 2 & 6 currently?

Geeze Lalor and Smillie could be an insane combo

If we go this way it definitely seems the club is looking towards potential upside as its biggest criteria this draft even if it means taking prospects that might be a little bit more of a risk over some safer bets

At this stage of the rebuild it makes the most sense

Smillie reminds me a little of one of our great tormentors, David Mundy.
