Love it. I'm not being sarcastic, the old 'just went to buy a paper and bumped into a guy I used to know who went to school with the Coburg property steward who is tight with Blairs brother...' The best!

2024 Draft Thread

Yep, like mentioned, it's taking him longer and more effort to decipher.
Reckon what he ends up with, will likely be very accurate for the top 10 picks. With pick trades it will get harder after that.
But he got the first 8 in order last year. The first 12 in order in 2022 etc.
Odds are he'll end up similar this year.
Don't really agree - he's equivocal when he can be and certainly the best in the media at this "game".
i.e. this morning he said Lalor is now a lock at 1. And that FoS is as well at 2.
Reckon you can now take those two to the bank and we can stop coming up with scenarios for those picks.
I’ve posted what this guy has said before. It is a direct relative of someone working for an afl club in recruiting.
He told me about Alger 3 weeks ago which I posted at the time and also that we loved Hotton and Travaglia
Treat it as you like
His manager & the hosts. sorry didn't catch his name.

Don't disagree, I'm more making the point that like everyone, he's finding it harder this year. He's still ahead of everyone else, but nowhere as assured as usual.
Cal is locking in FOS at 2 as well.
That could really stuff St Kilda's hopes of a sliding mid. Amazing the difference that Higgins goal in the dying seconds of round 24 makes to us and them. St Kilda could have had picks 5 & 6 if that match finishes 40 seconds earlier. We'd have had pick 8 instead of 6.

I'd like it if we could somehow end up with 2 of either Finn O'Sullivan, Sam Labor, Harvey Langford and Copper Hynes, all have the potential to be goal kicking midfielders.
Would be ok if we got Malakai Champion too, a real goal sneak. Did ok when I watched him play in the midfield one time too. He'll probably go late 2nd or early 3rd, we won't have any picks then, unless we do a trade, ie with the saints.
Kayle Gerreyn is still who I want as a key forward.

I read somewhere yesterday that Champion may even fall to a rookie pick. Had a very difficult year family wise evidently.
He is tied to Eagles isn’t he?
Unless it is Allen Jakovich at 6, I'm a big yeah nah. Take Smillie at 6. Take Jagga at 6. Take Langford at 6, if any of them are there take them.
This Twomey rumour is the first sign of us getting too smart, too clever, too many picks for us to go wrong. The Richmond team need to get outside the war room, touch grass, feel the sun on their skin cause this is getting funky.
He is a rookie pick according to some West Coast junior watchers, his endurance is well below the required levels.
Good article on Lalor in The Age, I'm sold now and resigned to no FOS.
We need our medical and fitness guys to get Lalor right so happy for them to take a cautious approach .
This year Lalor has had ankle/quad and the worrying grade 3 ten week hammy. There is one other injury I have missed.
Hopefully it was his limited pre-seaon preparation that was the main contributor to that, if not it becomes a worry

Or just take Tauru at 6 and then hit hard with the smalls down the order. There's little justification in picking the 5th ranked mid over the top ranked tall.
Jagga is a lock at #3 to Blues
Crows are hot for Langford
Melb - Draper, Tauru?

Yes he is, if goes after pick 40 ? or whatever it is they won't have ties on him. I saw him live in a Colts game early in this season, I was impressed, he's got some tricks.
It'll be interesting if the top 4 are Lalor, FOS, Smith and Langford. What then to Melbourne do? Do they like Draper? Do they go Tauru? Do they go Smillie? Or do they go a bit leftfield and go Allan / Travaglia at that pick.
I reckon if Draper goes to the Crows, its easy, they go Langford, but its more difficult to predict what they do if the Crows take Langford at 4.
My question is whether this draft will cement pick 8 in 2008 as one of the greatest draft picks in Richmond history?
Originally used on Tyrone Vickery who played some useful and frustrating footy for Richmond. In 2016 Vickery was traded for pick 29 as a compensation pick for his free agent move to Hawthorn and that pick was used on Shai Bolton, dual premiership player and AA rep.
Shai Bolton has now morphed into picks 10 and 11 in this draft ( I know there were a couple of elements) and these players will be a legacy of that original Vickery selection.
It is truly the magic pudding of picks. Has there ever been another with its ongoing quality and legacy?
