I believe the players ask for them as part of nominating. If it works out they’ll get an extension.

Mid season Draft
- Thread starter RUNVS
- Start date
They have loads of talls , out of the side they have Reid cox Bryan Baldwin and hunter , don’t need another they went for a midfielder
They had him playing the Grigga ruck role backing up the Brindle as well against Essendrugs. Somewhat miffed we didn't throw him a line.
At least it's only at magoos level this time. Not real bothered about poaching fringies n hoping.
Gotta say disappointed we didn't use the 3rd pick.
OBviously had our eyes on someone who went earlier (Teakle?) but i feel we could have taken on a 3rd rookie and had a good look at them.
Particularly a mature ager so we could assess immediately.
We could still do with more speedy mids (murphy or wilson or garner) wouldve been great

This reminds me of the Christmas I didn't get a bike. Really wanted Nour or Davidson, but I admit I'm biased and those making decisions know best. My excitement will return on the weekend to see Morris play with his new toys. Hopefully this includes a revitalised and able OHB that'll make Teakle look like a pair on undies.
I personally think we could have taken another tall KPF
Howes / Remy
6 month contract would have given Richmond a free hit at a young KPF that may have just taken another step in a afl team

There's been talk that we let slide some of the better talent that were asking for 18 months contract obviously some clubs don't have a strong draft hand that we have and perhaps can offer a 18 month contract.
Smart by us as we don't want our hands tied leading up to this years national draft.
Now our first pick Blight considered a general in the defence, the best key defender in the mid-season draft so we did extremely well with that pic.
Our second Gray a tall utility who can play forward or back looks like an exciting talent still early days I know but seems like he has so much upside in him.
Now compare this list (image attached), tell me apart from North's first pick in Payne who else is considered a big miss by us.
I think Richmond and North did the best from this list of 19 players.

AT its not the players taken and gripes on not picking them, but its the missed opportunity on the 3rd pick.
Is Baker leaving? Graham? Lets have 4 months looking at possible replacements.
We need run in the midfield. Lets take a swing at a zippy onballer carving up the vfl wafl sanfl.
Agree Turk. Get Howes or Remy in and have plenty of options when we look at our list in November.
Or get a speedy mid to be ready to replace Baker.
That was my preference
2 players would have to be promoted to a lower number to fit in Blight and Gray. Doubt they'd get 6, 11, 12 or 16 this early.
My pick: Seth and Miller
My pick: Seth and Miller
Yeah i wouldve liked El Nour or Davidson on our third pick but the club knows more as to why they passed, they have more intel than us.
2024 ND is the midfielders draft we will load up then. I was happy with our two talls and had we had another pick another tall in El Nour or Davidson I would be happy with. Baker seems likely but perhaps not 100% gone (hope he stays). Graham again not 100% decided our hands were a little tied.
Taranto is back for the Hawks game. Ross and Hopper from what I hear after the bye V Blues. I don't disagree, we do need quick runners but dont think the MSD is going to get us a gun-running mid whos going to start. Our key concerns were forward and back and glad we looked to address this.

You may well be right but both are small. I think we went the right way targeting talls.
