Exactly. Do the best we can especially with development and maintain public image as best we can. Even if jnrs dont work out no need to devalue them in case of future trades with Tasmania.

2024 Draft Thread
- Thread starter Mr T.
- Start date
Tassie will be looking at Nank, Banks & Campbell at least. They will be putting some decent offers in for these guys. Nank as a leader and Banks and Campbell will be mature ready-to-go players
Next years draft apprantly isn't as deep.
We should attack now.
If the kids are from Victoria they won't leave Richmond.
MCG. History. Large supporter base.
A lot of players are going to miss being drafted this year who will play State level footy next year and we can pick the best of those in the draft next year with late picks or Rookie draft.

Nank is already 30, will start the 2028 season as a 33 year old. No way they trade for Nank. Not even sure he'll be playing in 2028, let alone someone trading for him.
Campbell and Banks certainly possibles. Reckon Mansell is another possible too.
I think the larke medallists and AA's, as well as being good players,
are going to be the kids that hang back and shake coaches and selectors and umpires hands and talk to their wives and kids.
and they'll be the Brownlow types.
Other than Dusty, its the good mids who engage, smile and wave who win em
a scroll though clubs leading vote getters, and they're all the-boy-next-door.
umps are pretty unsophisticated people
its got me *smile* how Bont doesn't have three brownlows
I absolutely don't want Harley Reid,would cost too much.
Pick 1 fos
Pick 6 Lalor
Pick 12 Berry/Shanahan/Reid.
It is a way to delay our rebuild.

Was thinking that about Nank myself... regardless of age, I remain dubious about his leadership. Good bloke and all that stuff.
May be great off field, but geezus, he's been less than inspirational during games since he became captain.
I’m not sure 1 year is going to impact our age profile very much.
We should have the No. 1 pick next year too. Would have a great idea of who that might be - a mid - inside / outside or gun forward. Does that have a bearing on our choices this year?
PS - who are the likely choices - anyone know?

My bad! Actually I have asked him about leaving and he is very happy at the Tigers. In fact just bought a new house in Richmond.
Managing contracts is easy. We usually have over half the list coming out of contract every couple of years. And with the kids in the top 20 it's 3 year contracts now I believe? Two years for the rest. And no reason we cant extent those contracts at any time if the kids are performing.
Not when Tassie comes knocking on his door with a 9 year deal
Dyson Sharp from Central Districts will be right up there.
I'm all for as many quality picks as possible this year, but securing one extra first rounder next year would be ideal, to ensure we get 3 good kids next year too.
Rioli and pay some of his salary, for GC's 1st this year and 1st next year. Would expect it to be around pick 10-12 at worst next year.

Ludowyke & Ah-Mu as well.Dyson Sharp from Central Districts will be right up there.
Aint a matter of how many picks ya have, it's what the *smile* you do with ya picks. We've managed more than our fair share of horror show, major pick *smile* ups over the years. Hoping like hell we know exactly what we're doing this time around.
Agree, and first rounders are 3 year contracts. Some are not going to work out guaranteed., never do. 3 x 1st rounders next year would be perfect if we can work it.
