2024 Draft Thread

Richmond
Picks: 1*, 21*, 33*, 39*, 41*, 51*, 57*, 64*, 72*
The Tigers already hold a solid draft hand, currently holding the prized No.1 pick. With the potential of benefiting from trades including Liam Baker, Shai Bolton and Daniel Rioli, Richmond are destined to hold the best draft hand in November. They would love to get to that night in September without losing key players like Bolton and Rioli, but have the flexibility to potentially bring in five or six first round draft picks. With Richmond having strong and contested midfielders like Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper, a gun midfielder that uses the ball well and has speed could be the perfect fit for Richmond. They will also look to invest in their key forward stocks, with Tom Lynch’s future uncertain due to injury and Mykelti Lefau’s recent ACL injury.
Finn O’Sullivan: 182cm, Midfielder – Oakleigh Chargers / Vic Country
We haven’t seen the best of O’Sullivan in 2024, with multiple finger injuries derailing his season so far. But that doesn’t take away from his talents and credentials being that of a very high pick. He won the Kevin Sheehan Medal two years ago as MVP of the Under-16 National Championships and made the All-Australian team as a bottom-ager after a brilliant Under-18 carnival last year. He is arguably the most well-rounded player in the draft, with great athleticism and a leap allowing him to take strong marks. He is also very agile, a beautiful kick and decision-maker with the ball in his hands. He could be the perfect fit for the Tigers and their resurgence in future years.

Other options:
Highly-touted midfielder Jagga Smith has also been heavily linked to Richmond, having trained with the club in the pre-season through the AFL Academy. He has also played for the club’s VFL side in recent weeks, producing some massive numbers. He is a lovely kick and a natural ball-winner who could add plenty to the club as well. Top key forwards like Jobe Shanahan and Jonty Faull will also be heavily considered by Richmond as they look to replenish stocks for their big men at the forward end.
Yeah and the Suns are perennially shithouse so you’d almost be inclined to disregard what they think. Sorry FOS.
Did pretty well getting their Rowell and Anderson combo a few years back.
Similar maybe but thats selling Dusty short.
None of the above have the oppos defenders shitting themselves when one on one.
Thats the difference and why the next Dusty is very rare.(Maybe it is Reid and thats 14yrs between Dusty and Reid which is about right)
I'm hoping the Suns get Pick 4 for Lukosius.
Rioli>>4 & 6
Bolton>>7 12 & 16
1-Fos
4-Jagga
6-Lalor
7-Langford
12-Berry
16-Sims
HUN is talking about a single future 2nd rounder getting it done for Lukosius so you can forget pick 4

if it played like that,
we'd help ourselves to a haul like
jagga, draper, berry, travaglia, faull, sims
Hmmm a few sliders in there that might impact trading strategy. Does Lombard fall that far? If so, GCS might hang onto their 1st. What about North, do they go with yet another midfielder or try and trade back, might that work for us?
Also how funny is the comment around Kako, "It comes as the Bombers need a player like Kako, a talented, crumbing small forward with a real eye for goal". Isn't that why they got Gresham in and paid him big $'s?
