I dont really think all those trades will happen as it involves too many clubs and that normally means a low probability of success.
I could probably accept your proposal if it happened and the other bonus is we get pick 32 back , but lose 20 again.
Ground breaking. Imagine looking for a key forward who kicks goals.
Innovative thinking 123
It is interesting when you look at young KPFs that the better ones are averaging 2-3 goals a game. The definition of a bag is different these days.

I don’t have the full list but just be going off what I hear and read.
For instance the player generally rated the likely highest picked in Armstrong kicked 27 goals in 10 games. Faull kicked 27 in 11 games.
I’m just going off the draft profiles
I read Armstrong was one, but I didn’t check to see if it was true
Understand that we are in a position where trading must suit Richmond or nothing as ,WE ARE HAPPY WITH OUR HAND.
Maybe 10,23 to saints for pick 7.

Yeah I was thinking about something like that but only if the pick 2 deal didn’t happen.
Could still do say 6 and 20 for 2 as well if getting 6 is the only way North will deal.That would leave us with only 6 picks however and limited opportunity to trade into an F1.
#6 & #24
Richmond apparently are extremely reluctant to involve these picks in any trades prior to the draft

I reckon we will see a heap of pick trading going on either before or on draft night, even if we don't see too many of the top 10 changing.
Think of it like this (ignoring all academy picks):
1 - Lalor (Rich)
2 - Tauru (North)
3 - FOS (Carlton) - cue puke emoji
4 - Draper (Adelaide)
5 - Armstrong (Mel)
6 - Smith / Langford (Rich)
7 - Lindsay (Saints)
8 - Smith / Langford (Saints)
9 - Smillie (Melb)
Then it opens up to our 2 back to back picks.
Port apparantly into Travaglia - maybe 13 and 29 for 10?
Then are West Coast totally into Allan? Maybe - could they do 12 and F2 for 11?
Pushes our 2 picks back from 10 and 11 to 12 and 13 but gaining 2 2nd rounders. Previous drafts have shown precedent for this sort of value being paid by clubs in the past.
Could we then do our own trade up using 29, we'd have the flexibility then being as we would have more picks than list spots.
Reckon this draft is really setting ourselves up to be able to dictate nearly everything that goes on within the 1st 30 or so picks.

All this fairness talk there is no fairness when we hold the whip hand. Any deal needs to be in our favour just like we did for trades for Bolton and Rioli
It's clear that Blair wants to hold onto pick 6 and as we know get our hands on pick 2 and keep one of 10 or 11.
Norths pick 2 and Future first for our pick 11 and 23 take it or leave it. North are desperate to split their pick 2
We could also do a deal with the Saints for their pick 8
2024 Draft Picks Inc a deal with North
1, 2, 6, 10, 18, 20, 24 (that's 4 picks in the top 10) and the coveted first pick in the second round (24)

Like a lot of that mrp, I’m just not sure I want to move back for the “ next” best , with so many picks I’m still leaning towards take the best at I.e 10 rather then miss out and get the next best at 13 , though a supposedly strong deep draft there will be no doubt good players picked well after our last pick .
Not giving up a first-rounder (23) for a pick slide of 3 spots.
Something would have to come back like the Saints pick 32. The deal has to suit us or NO DEAL
How ironic would it be to get 32 back.
32 STK received from Brisbane in 2024, received from Richmond in 2024
what if we target Saints pick #7?
say #18 +23
would give us 1, 6,7,10,11,20,24
say #18 +23
would give us 1, 6,7,10,11,20,24
I guess it depends if we think they are the next best on our board. This is the thing, with such an even draft between 10-25, there will be so many different versions of the same board of players, that different teams will rank players above others. Could be a scenario where we might have Berry, or Hotton or Reid next in line but Port have Travaglia and West Coast have Allan. Similar scenario to last year with McAuliffe, we had him next and wanted him, we didn't think Freo and West Coast were after him, so we banked a couple of extra picks by trading back. There will be times where we can do that this year too.
Definitely will be an intriguing evening.
We definitely have the players listed in order from 1 to 70 odd or in this case 1 to 30 and we have traditionally just ticked them off as the drafts gone along , can’t see this changing now
The latest mail is the Tigers are trying to get 2 whilst keeping 1, 6 and 24. All other picks are on the table to grab pick 2 and whatever else comes from those negotiations.
