Richmond Rant / Re: 2025 AFL Draft

I feel like that's a bit of a drop off for Sharp? Bloke has been top 5 basically all year.

OP has done it in tiers and has Robey. Taylor. Sharp a 'level' above the others.

T1. Duursma.
T2.
T3. CDT
T4. Robey. Taylor. Sharp.

Everyone else t5. And below.

* Of the open draft players

I still wonder if this is a reflection of grij true ranking or if it's skewed by so many mocks having him linked to Richmond due to 'need'. Perceived lack of speed from last year's draft.

TK previously tracked sharp via twomey:

Just out of curiosity I went back on all twomeys phantom form guides that he’s done for the 2025 crop in July, August, September, October. Just wanted to see the risers/fallers and who was just super consistent throughout.

My understanding is that his form guides are just that, rankings based on performances to date whereas his next/last one will be his mock draft which he takes into consideration the intel he’s gotten from clubs about where everyone will be taken which is usually bang on.

Dursma 3, 3, 1, 1
Uwland 1, 1, 2, 2
CDT 2, 2, 3, 3
Patterson 4, 4, 4, 4
Annable 5, 5, 5, 5
Robey N/A, N/A, 6, 6
X.Taylor 15, 9, 7, 7
Dean 10, 8, 8, 8
Sharp 6, 6, 9, 9
Cumming 13, 12, 15, 10
Schubert 9, 13, 10, 11
Grlj 12, 11, 13, 12
Farrow 21, 14, 12, 13
Lindsay 7, 7, 11, 14
Phillipou 17, 17, 17, 15
Greeves 11, 15, 16, 16
Marsh 8, 10, 14, 17
Dovaston 24, 20, 18, 18
O.Taylor N/A, 22, 20, 19
Hargreaves 18, 16, 19, 20

So essentially at our picks it has gone from Sharp and Lindsay in July and August to Robey and X.Taylor in September and October.

It will all come down to possible pick swaps and if there’s a bid on Kellaway .
Tough to Add those options in , so we might have to wait and see .

Playing Geelong at Geelong in the last game , I have no doubt that Hocking filled the AFL up with Geelong supporters before he left . Geelong always get the rub of the green.

If Campbell has been elevated then we have 34 on the primary list, three on the Rookie A list and one on the Rookie B list. My understanding is that the maximum allowed on the combined Primary list plus Rookie A list is 42 players. There is also a limit on the Primary list. I.e. minimum of 36, maximum of 38 so we have the following options:
(1) Use Picks 3 & 4 only which leaves three Rookie A places available,
(2) Use Picks 3, 4 & 38 leaving two Rookie A places, or
(3) Use Picks 3, 4, 38 and 68 leaving one Rookie A place.

Option 2&3 are essentially the same if Kellaway is available beyond P36, only difference is if we give him a list or rookie spot

Somewhat happy with start of the season, not all fully ticketed games at the g to start helps families get to the game properly. However only 2 non fully ticketed games at the G in the first 8 rounds is an issue for families, especially for a team down the bottom, our season could be over by round 9 our 3 home game where its not fully ticketed.

A great run at the G post Tassie game.

1 Blues MCG (A)
2 Gold Coast MCG (H)
3 Freo Sub (A)
4 Port MCG (H)
5 GWS Gather Round SA
6 NM Marvel (A)
7 Melb MCG (H) Anzac Eve
8 WCE Sub (A)
9 Adelaide MCG (H)
10 Saints Etihad (A)
11 Essendon MCG (H) Dreamtime
12 Sydney SCG (A)
13 Bye
14 Lions - Tassie (H)
15 NM MCG (H)
16 Pies MCG (A)
17 Blues MCG (H)
18 Melb MCG (A)
19 Hawks MCG (H)
20 Dogs Marvel (A)
21 WCE MCG (H)
22 Crows AO (A)
23 Saints MCG (H)
24 Cats Kardinia 

Can't complain with the first 8 rounds. If we end up splitting them 4-4 it wouldn't be a surprise IMO.

5 of the last 6 are tough though. Hard to see us winning any of those to end the season.

Hmmm I'd be surprised if we win more than 3 of that first 8.

And maybe 1 of the last 6.

I can see us winning a good half dozen games for the year though.
