Different types. Lalor especially. I would swap Smillie for Jagga to get that different mix.

No way I take Smillie ahead of Jagga. Nonsense on stilts stuff. Jags at 6 would be a steal of a generation.
It was like a cycle. First it was Jagga, then FOS and it’s settled on Lalor. A lot were crazy about Smillie earlier in the year, too.
I'm thinking of booking accomodating in Richmond after the draft night. Can see it taking until 11pm or so..
Smillie, you're out in the world today / Smillie, you're all on your own / Smillie, hey, they say you're a man today / Boy, how you've grown
This is why I've been bullish on Draper
No one in the top 6 has his speed.
I keep on coming back in my mind to two things Blair said after the trade period
1. The aim was to maximise our picks in the 1st round.
That doesn’t mean that we would use them all but when asked if we would use them all or trade picks his answer was
2. Everything is on the table but we will only do what is best for Richmond FC.
The fact that there are no trades yet simply means to me that he is not satisfied that whatever has been offered meets criteria 2. That’s a good thing and makes me believe that unless we get a great offer ( or offers) we are very happy to stay where we are.
Nothing wrong with that.
My own view is that even if we don’t deal with north or st kilda or anyone else then we are going to get a lot of interest in our later picks as a few clubs try and get back into the draft. It appears to me that Blair is only accepting very good offers, and it is possible we may not even do that.

yeah I'm nervous they and GWS will make a combination to get the deal done with Norf
I do
If we don’t get fos I don’t want to see him in a Carlton jumper .
Adelaide or saints or gws is fine with me
I dunno, but I dipped out a while ago when I wasn't making many games. Something about paying $800-900 a game made my future wife-to-be anxious when saving a house deposit...
My guess is it'd be around $3k, but who knows whether flagflation made things go out of control.
Take the picks to the draft and use them all. It looks like this draft is going to go off the reservation pretty quickly. The clubs will get onto different pages after a few picks and strange things will happen all through the draft.
It’s a great chance to address our biggest issue, being that we have the weakest group of under 23s in the competition. A few good choices could change that in one night. Why take fewer picks this year? We need a new midfield and a couple of talented talls, minimum.
Take them now while the chance is there.

So the 2 mock drafts out today - just shows the quality on offer for the tigers if we use all 8 picks
My only comment is that I am not sure of the Smillie and Trainor love - if you swap those picks with the player taken straight after, I will be doing cartwheels.

If we keep 6 10, 11 and 18, 20, 23, (and trade 24) there will be some very promising mids available at all points.
2024 AFL Phantom Draft: Every pick in the first two rounds
Jasper Chellappah has released his latest two-round AFL Phantom Draft for 2024, with the first of a big two-night event now just two weeks away. Who is your club looking to pick with its early selections?www.espn.com.au
Interesting to see if we do pass on Jagga if available at 7.
Bo Allen at 13 would be a great get.
Effectively we would have added three big bodied mids in Lalor, Smillie and Allen.
In that event I don’t think we would take Smillie at 6 (7).
Maybe Langford if available but otherwise
my personal favourite, Tauru.
