2021 Draft Thread
- Thread starter Rfc4Ever
- Start date
If a comparable outcome did eventuate, the club's list profile will look something like this:
Seniors
B: Grimes Tarrant Vlastuin
HB: D.Rioli Balta Short
C: McIntosh Graham Ward
HF: Edwards Lynch Bolton
F: Martin Riewoldt Baker
FOLL: Nankervis, Cotchin, Prestia
INTER: Lambert, Broad, Soldo, Stack, Sub: Castagna
EMERG: Pickett, Ross, Collier-Dawkins
Reserves
B: Goater Miller Mansell
HB: Ralphsmith Nyuon Pickett
C: MacDonald Ross Dow
HF: Parker Caddy Aarts
F: Howes Cumberland M.Rioli
FOLL: Ryan, Collier-Dawkins, Martyn
INTER: Motlop, Colina
I know, I know, 'tis the time to dream,
but the notion of 18 yo pimply kid ward
displacing hardened, dual premiership wingman Pickett at the height of his powers,
is ludicrous.
pobably correct, but not necessarily
we currently have only 29 on the main list so room for minimum 7 & max 9, dependent on how we structure the list
We have 7 rookies now, 6 Cat A & Colina as Cat B
We have said we will rookie Noah & Biggie so we will need to upgrade 2 rookies to add them in
This is what we are allowed
| Minimum 37 players all up on list |
| Maximum 44 players all up on list inc 2 Cat B |
| Minimum 36 & max 38 on main list |
| 4-6 Cat A Rookies |
| 2 Cat B Rookies |
Good work toothless.
My concern is that we would be very very thin on key position players. We need more talls developing than just Nyuon, and Miller.

I’ve had GWS taking Andrew early and Rachele as of yesterday. Mail seems ok.

Andrew - GWS
Gibcus - GC
The Callaghan talk is a smoke screen to see if anyone is desperate enough to the give them an offer to good to refuse for pick 2.
If its true its great for us.
Hawks>>Callaghan
Suns>>Gibcus
Crows>>Rachele
Giants>>Andrew
Freo>>Erasmus
Rich>>Hobbs or Ward.
Freo>>Amiss
STk.(Should we throw 15 & 28 for this pick if it pans out the way it does? I mean Hobbs would be great by its self but to get Ward as well.Would set our midfield up for the future.)?
1 month ago Rachele was slated as a 10-15 pick. At that Giants would have been confident to get him with 13. Walk away with Andrew and Rachele.
Now that he is rising they must berethinking Rachele will be gone by 13. Do they jump early?
I wonder how far Hobbs might fall if we got Ward at our 1st? I don't think Freo or West Coast take him (they will be on the WA's IMO), and I don't think Saints should get him, they need speed and I feel Sinn is their man.
I know the Bombers want to get back into this draft.
Would we offer up the below trade and then take Hobbs too.
Richmond - In 11 (13) and Essendons 2nd in 2022
Richmond Out - 15 (17) and 26 (28)
Fix our midfield with our 1st 2 and then see who slides through to those 2 remaining picks in the 20's. We'd have a choice of best available or go for needs at that spot.

I really like this outcome as it would strengthen our 2022 draft hand even further.
But, I believe Saints would definitely take Hobbs in this instance regardless of whether they need speed or not.
Yeah I'm still 50/50 as to whether they would do it. I'd think Sinn is the one in their sights though. The one thing they really miss is run out of their backline. Can they really overlook someone like Sinn? I know he's a bit of a boom / bust, but the boom could be massive and could be even greater for the Saints. With Crouch, Steele, Bytel and probably Clark to move into the midfield this year, their requirement for Hobbs is lower.
I think this is why some phantoms have Hobbs very high and others have him slipping into the mid teens, due to the lack of teams taking him. For example, I dont see Port taking him, nor the Giants but Brisbane are a chance at 14.
How do you know that we are trying to force them to take Harry Callaghan while all we want is Hobbs.AFL draft whispers: Giants tipped to hold top pick; Cats set to win three-club race for Dogs’ selection

Maybe we are trying to forecast the first 10 picks.
But I reckon it’s all irrelevant because I believe we will take him at our pick regardless of whether Ward is still on the board or not.
the really exciting thing about this draft is Clarke can play a straight bat and land a couple of 200 gamers,
then shuffle his grip down the handle and take a couple of big swings.
we've got the 2004 draft hand, with modern Richmond capital

This group is a much better batch of footballers (excluding the top 5).
I'm wondering if Judson Clarke will be one of those we settle on with our later picks. Got great speed and goal sense.
He's one guy who I think will be there, not a terrible pick, still prefer the others but they may be off the table
The one thing I didn't see in his highlights was defensive pressure. How is he with that?
