I think we will have to turn over 8? To get our 3 picks. It wouldn’t surprise me if the AFL allow teams to go with 2 selections to ease pressure on delistings this year.

2020 AFL Draft
- Thread starter tigerman
- Start date
I thought it was Ross's best game ever. Much cleaner. Better use. More rounded. Accountable. Measured. Consistently busy. A highlight.
Six score involvements.

Is Dan's brother Brayden Rioli eligible for the 2020 draft?
I know he is zoned to the Bombers but doesn't mean other clubs can't bid, if he's any good, like the Bombers did with Irving Mosquito.

Richmond traded it to Collingwood last year. Clubs can trade the picks they will hold in the following year’s draft and the pick will end up being tied to where they end up after the season has ended. So the clubs are taking a risk when they trade these picks as what number it will be is unknown.
Richmond traded 2020 2nd round + 2019 pick 45 for Collingwood’s 2019 pick 46 + St.Kilda’s 2020 2nd round pick.
Collingwood got St.Kilda’s 2020 2nd round pick from other trades they did.
Great explanation, thanks @Giardiasis
I guess you can deduce from that, Richmond thought it was a good chance to finish higher than the Saints in 2020 so would receive an overall net benefit from that trade?
Which leads to the question: why would Collingwood have done that trade (I assume it was they who proposed it)? Was there someone at 45 they really wanted and thought Richmond might take? Perhaps they didn't value the Saints' 2020 2nd round pick that highly (ie. maybe they thought back then they had enough picks in this region)? Maybe they thought the Saints would rise (correct) and that the Tigers would fall (incorrect)?
I'd also be interested to know if the tied pick is based on finishing H&A position or post-finals position?
Postscript: the Pies took Trent Bianco @ 45 and the Tigers took Hugo Ralphsmith @ 46 in the 2019 draft.
They really wanted that kid Bianco. Mad pies supporter growing up too I think. Funny thing is we got Ralphsmith, the one that we wanted, whilst also exchanging our pick for Saints which is an absolute win
Pies wanted Bianco and there might have been a few clubs offering deals and the pies one was the best. We still got the player we were after (Ralphsmith) and yeah I guess we thought we’d finish higher than the Saints.
Ok, that would make sense. I can't recall but maybe Bianco was a slider?
Interestingly, the Tigers took Cumberland and Martyn in the two picks immediately beforehand. That suggests other clubs maybe thought we'd take Bianco then came knocking prior to our third pick in a row with the hope they could secure him.
Clearly says we didn't rate Bianco as highly as other clubs.
I guess we now hope the Saints get beaten in the first week, either by Collingwood (if the Pies win tonight) or the Dogs (if the Pies lose tonight).
Trades[edit]
2019 AFL trade period
Seemed strange to me at the time.
Richmond were rumored to be into Bianco.
Collingwood wanted Bianco and blinked.
I always wondered if there was a side deal with Collingwood to switch picks, but only if Collingwood definitely took Bianco (remember this was live trading)
Because if Richmond were at all worried that they would miss their next rated player in Ralphsmith by doing the deal, it is logical for Richmond to insist that Collingwood only take Bianco.........or not take Ralphsmith ........
But then Collingwood would have known that Richmond were not into Bianco and therefore did not need to do the pick swap .......

It seems to me we are rarely active in the pick-swap space but this may have been a deal too good to pass up.
Agree with @Baloo that it feels like Collingwood may have had to pay overs due to multiple clubs having an interest in Bianco. I doubt anyone thought the Saints would finish higher than the Tigers so they obviously knew they were likely giving up something of value.
Interesting that the Pies have used 40 players this year, more than any other club bar the Bulldogs and Hawks who also used 40. The kid didn't get a start ahead of Keane, Appleby, Ruscoe, Lynch, etc.
(Richmond has used just 33 players so far, with only the Power (30) and Suns (31) using fewer.)
Real good story about Heath Chapman
www.afl.com.au
Good size, elite decision making from the back half. Pace and run at 191cm. I know nothing and had only heard the lads name as a first rounder but after reading that and watching the highlights, he’s firmly on my watch list.

I'd seen those highlights, SCOOP, but didn't know the story. Incidentally, the article says he's 193, which helps. Likely type. Quality aerialist, would be interested to see his sprint times.
I like Eddie Ford.
