‘Pretty tight at the top’: Inside the auditions for Richmond’s No.1 draft pick
The Tigers are on the verge of a new era as they farewell premierships stars and prepare to welcome a batch of young guns. But is there a clear No.1 choice?

Come on Mr B, you've made a fortune by backing the right horse, (Mr Brightside
), give us your unbackable favourite
We are not going to bid on Lombard with pick 6 that Gold Coast give us.
Great, I still want to see FOS called number 1 on draft night, 2k time trial and sub 3sec testing impressive, I expect his running vertical leap to also be right up there.
We aint picking up another defender. Our primary concerns are mids and forwards. But if we had 3 picks in the top 6 id go full mids set up us for the next decade, FOS, Lalor, Langford or Smith.
The Flying Viking will be drafted to play forward.
Best one in the draft for Leysy.
I think FOS has that little bit on the field , has the dancing feet u likeCome on Mr B, you've made a fortune by backing the right horse, (Mr Brightside
What pick you reckon Leysy ?
I don't think we will draft any tall in our top 3 picks Leysy, if for example we have 1, 2 and 6 or 1, 3 and 6 there are just too many talented mids to let slip.
Not saying at pick 10 or 11 or 14 we wont grab him if he's still on the board but if not there's still Armstrong, Whitlock, and Shanahan who are all forwards and likely to go between 10-20
Excellent leader and voice from the games I witnessed, god knows we need young leaders, I don't see many at Richmond presently.
You would think Norf would be eyeing him off at pick 2. Or is that a reach?
FOS
Jagga
Dunno about Lalor,Gives me a Jake Stringer vibe more than a Dusty.Talented but not motivated too go the extra yard professionally wise.
Surprised Lalor is in serious contention for pick 1 given his injury history. Makes me wonder how many recruiters are problem gamblers.
Slim-hipped dandy.
He’s got Tauru at #3, Joker. Bit of a radical take but a lot of fans have the idea that Third field will reach for a tall. I think he’ll take FOS.
The author is telling us that he has mail that Melbourne is weighing up a bid on Kako. The author mentions that the rumoured bid might amount to nothing.
Fwiw I give the Kako rumour a small chance because I like Kako. And maybe the Dees do too. But yeah, a roughie. They really should bid on Lombard.
I haven’t contributed much to draft conversations but I have read everything all you guys have discussed. My opinion or hope is that we do everything we can to obtain picks 2 & 3 to go along with our pick 1 and select FOS, Smith & Lalor. I cannot see that any of the 3 will become duds and more likely to be very good to great players. We need guns and these 3 are it. We will lose later picks but we will still have a good enough hand to pick a key position forward or two and a small forward with the depth of this draft. We will also have a decent draft hand next year. These 3 could easily go number 1 in previous years drafts apart from ones where there have been a standout like Harley Reid. I don’t know why but I would prefer this approach than to spread out our picks because no other club has ever had the opportunity to be able to have picks 1, 2 & 3 in a draft and I’m sure if any club were in a position to do so, they would do everything they can to make it happen. So why not let it be us to make it happen and dominate this draft. It doesn’t have to be FOS, Smith & Lalor. If the club thinks there is a better player or players to fill those positions I would back them in. So long as they pick the 3 best kids in the draft is all that counts.
