Martin was always rated as top four in his draft pool.

So much so, roos tried trade two high draft picks for three, to get him. As he knew Melb wanted scully/trngrove
Yeah of course he did  ::)

He did - it's common knowledge.

my understanding is it was picks 6 and 14 that they offered up.

there were 4 standouts in that draft. i mean 4 who were head and shoulders in front of the pack at the time of the draft.. morabito, martin, scully and trengove.

Where is The Big Richo when you need him?
He unearthed Martin when he was 11.
Kept him under wraps at his house till the night before the draft.
We have TBR to thank for all of this👍

Essendon signing up Cooney, and the extra $$$ they are paying him, could force Chapman out and onto the free agency market.

Chapman wanted to go to the Bombers because of Thompson.
If Thompson isn't there he won't want to stay IMHO.

I'm gonna have to get them to fix the TBR light in the sky.

If I recall correctly Melbourne who had picks 1 and 2 never even spoke to Dusty, so certain were they of Scully and Trengove so he was always a lock for three.

He spoke to about a dozen other clubs but the advice from 11 of them was they were 100% sure he was going to Richmond but always touch base with any player they would like to draft if possible.

I remember one of the interstate clubs asked him if he was dumb.

I reckon Richmond told him they were taking him unless Melbourne did about 2 days before the draft.
