After a quick “surf” of the media world, I’ve come to the conclusion that nobody has a clue what we are doing ....love it, keep getting rid of the clubs leakers

2020 AFL Draft
- Thread starter tigerman
- Start date
Hear what your saying , however I wouldn’t want us bidding on a player that most rate as a rookie pick and just to *smile* off another club, the days will come when the shoes on the other foot
I suspect that what we are doing and the fact that no one knows, may have something to do with a plan to bid at 36, on one S Green.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
That was Sliding Doors 1.
Sliding Doors 2. Demons take Scully, not Dusty.
Sliding Doors 3. Scully goes to GWS. GWS later pass on Dusty.
AFL draft 2020: First round predictions
It's been a year like no other, and so too is it a draft like no other. This year's national draft will be held remotely, run out of the AFL's review centre at headquarters.
If he is stupid enough to risk a top 10 pick on a player rated around pick 50 or so, I say good luck to the fool, I would not match it and let Dodoro live with the consequences.
Yep, and Mojo is a similar size to the great Maurice, a similar shape and even looks like him a bit. If he's half as good as his dad, he'll be a star.
I can understand why a club would bid on a player to force another club to match and lose picks. But surely this would come back to bite you, and if everyone does this there will be few picks left. Why wouldn't Adelaide go for Ugle-Hagen and when matched just go down the list of players who are academy/father-son etc and screw everyone?

DoDo wont be bidding on Rioli guys , He just does not have the picks
6-7-8 wont be used
Next pick is 44 and will most likely be already used up on other teams bidding on Brand & Eyre
Carlton is the only threat at their picks #31 or #38

If Dodo did bid on MRJ in the first round (he wont)
I think we can and would live trade pick 20'ish
down for something equivalent like 2 picks in the mid 30's.
then match with 35, and take Jackson Callow, who we wanted in the first place, with 38.
Now that Dodo has apparently telegraphed this ridiculousness,
I imagine we'd already have a pick trade in principle agreement with a club who isn't a bunch of *smile*.
I can't imagine any world where the son of Maurice Rioli doesn't pull on a Richmond jumper today
*smile* im excited. Incredibly significant day for the football romantics amongst us (and isnt a sizeable romantic streak a pre-requisite for barracking for Richmond?)
edit: Matty Clarke 'we are heavily committed to bringing Maurice Rioli Jr, onto our list'
not 'looking at the possibility of', not 'interested', not 'committed'
'heavily committed'
in any weather you will see us with a grin (hey)
risking head and shin (hey)
(opens a can of Richmond premiership draught for breakfast, doubling up on the mental justification - Its draft day and we won the flag)

Surely the Bombers don't put in a bid on MRJ, their list has a Truck load of holes -Key forward, key defender, a midfielder, and a ruckman.
Instead of playing funny buggers they'd be better off addressing their needs. Dodora is going to have to pull a rabbit out of his hat, my money is on him pulling a hair out of his arse.

So Dodoro bidding on Rioli - I assume is just nervous speculation only - I haven’t read anywhere that this is remotely on the cards - unless Rioli is still available at the end of the draft.
I can’t see where a player who is not on anybody’s radar during the top 40 - 50 even jumps to be a top 10 pick

There's no indication as to where in the draft Dodo or anyone else will bid for MoJo, just speculation that a bid will come at some point to keep us honest and not using pick 153 to draft him with.
All clubs will have strong ideas of what the kids draft values are, doubt that anyone would be stupid enough to risk a top ten pick on someone who's rated somewhere beyond thirty in the pecking order.
MoJo has a brilliant footballing family pedigree, but just like racehorses having a brilliant pedigree doesn't mean he'll automatically be an out and out champion.
Kid could be a flop, he could be good or he could be a champion. If he gets to us, then of course I hope he's an absolute star. If Dodo or someone else picks him up ahead of us, then MoJo's entitled to flop all he likes.

Every club, every pick: ESPN's full AFL phantom draft
The 2020 AFL Draft is on our doorstep, and ESPN expert Chris Doerre has analysed all the possibilities to expand his phantom draft from the first pick to the very last.
20. Richmond - Nathan O'Driscoll
Height, Weight: 189cm, 78kg
Profile: Playing WAFL League football this year for Perth, O'Driscoll has shown the capacity to play inside, outside or on a back flank. O'Driscoll attacks the ball aggressively, tackles to hurt, demonstrates a high work rate, provides outside run and carry and has a penetrating kick.
39. Richmond - Liam McMahon
Height, Weight: 196cm, 84kg
Profile: McMahon is a key forward who attacks the ball aerially and takes marks at the highest point. While still quiet raw, McMahon is an good athlete with his leap and speed in particular impressive.
52. Richmond - Maurice Rioli Jnr (Richmond Father-Son)
Height, Weight: 173cm, 75kg
Profile: Son of Indigenous Team of the Century midfielder, Maurice Rioli, Rioli Jnr is arguably the premier pressure forward in this draft with the second and third tackle efforts he applies. Rioli Jnr possesses excellent speed, agility, ground level craft and is an instinctive finisher around goal with an impressive mind to body connection.
No, no, no you have it all wrong.
They have the greatest list ever assembled, they say it and David King generally backs them up so it must be true. Its the AFL, they are stopping them winning somehow (don't ask me how, or I'll have to say something incoherent).
'Returns from out of body experience' - I feel sick, what just happened, did I become a Bombers fan whilst out of body
There is no doubt MRJ will be a tiger tonight nomatter what happens it will be done.
