Funny story about the Dildo.

I was Interstate for work a while back when the Bombers were in town to play one of the local teams.

Caught up with a cute girl I met at a conference earlier in the year for dinner and then we hit a local bar.

Harvey, another assistant and the Dildo were all at the bar also. Harvey and the other guy were busy with a couple of birds so the Dildo was literally the fifth wheel. He kept staring at my friend in a real awkward and creepy sort of way to the point she became uncomfortable and wanted to leave.

Anyway to cut a long story short I kinda owe him one now ;)

would these three players be ideal for Richmond? or pick two and trade pick 30 for a second round next year/

These 3 guys would be great but there are another 5 from that list that would also be fine but i wouldnt trade the pick for just a future 2nd rounder as that pick will be in a similar spot or worse than pick #28 this year.

Only trade out if its a great deal e.g 1st rounder or there are no players we rate

Every chance Sonz is on the board at our next pick. Hawks the only real threat. They could easily go Butler and Howes with their next 2.

FWIW i have a good friend who is Hawthorn Coterie. He told me this morning that the Hawks like Dan Butlers brother a lot and he is expecting them to take him

I think if we are dealing with North that we need to talk future picks. Either a slide back and another 2nd next year, or maybe even swap the 2nd's again, but it will come down to how much they want Motlop.

They'll be able to get Motlop at 32, surely.

Two of our 20s, or one and Norf's second next year.

I'm on that tip, let's see how things unfold. Here's how things stand with my rankings & who's available.

5. Johnson
10. Goater
11. Sonsie
17. Taylor
18. Butler
19. Howes

So there's still a ton of talent left on the board, not sure I take Goater ahead of Sonsie if we're talking multiple picks, I think you need to mitigate the risk with a more complete skill set. I would be fine with the last 3 picks also but I don't see it happening, perhaps Taylor the last man standing. That's why I think we need to trade.

in one sense it shows that the medium rebounding fast defender is important - 4-5 picks in the top 20.
We might have hoped that there would be some on offer at 26-28, but on the night realised they were going going going....

But not gone. More rebounding defenders still available. For example Lewis Rayson, capt of SA. Instead of Brown could we have gone a Johnson - Rayson combo?
Easy with hindsight.

Rayson is an elite user of the ball by hand and foot, and has a burst of acceleration that gets him out of trouble as he rebounds off the half-back line. He had a brilliant finals campaign with Glenelg and a solid Championships as well for SA as the captain of the side. Rayson is skilful and intelligent, and is one of the most reliable ball users in the pool.

half back is the easiest position to play, players who are more talented who can't quite crack it in other positions when moved half back more often than not can outdo the more highly rated existing career half backs. For these reasons among others I personally see using a first round pick on one is a waste, however if there is no other option and in the highly unlikely event the remaining pool is full of no other options only then should that option be taken. Perhaps this is the rationale?

It's not textbook drafting but we're at the halfway point, there's still time to get the haul well balanced & with plenty of upside. I'm holding back judgement until all the picks are locked. No secrets I would have gone with a midfielder at 17, I think we were perfectly positioned to do so, but let's just see if Clarke has master plan.

I just thought if he was taking aim at my Williams/Bytel trade as being fictitious then the irony would be breathtaking, the serves I copped 3 years ago about this suggestion was one of the primary reasons I left the site. Now if there's an inference I'm making *smile* up then I honestly give up. All documented, complete with poisoned barbs from all angles.

Trades - After securing Riley Collier-Dawkins last night, list managers approached the Western Bulldogs and offered them next year's first for pick 27 & pick 37 (a pick they were using on Rhylee West). Dogs accepted given it was a free hit next year & they also get West.

Pick 20. Riley Collier-Dawkins (rank 18)
Pick 27. Bailey Williams (rank 11)
Pick 37. Jack Bytel (rank 27)
Pick 38. Jack Ross (Ess pick for Saad last year)
Pick 58. Fraser Turner (rank 29)
Pick 62. Tom McKenzie (rank 33)

Read this morning something about Josh Ward had a concussion that forced him to miss seven weeks.

That's a worry.
