Question.

If we walk into the draft with 12 and 19 and no other trades being done except the one for Townsend. How would people feel?

Fine thanks. Feel better than if we gave 19 away for Yarran

I've already answered above "And if we end up with Picks 12 & 19 is this draft then we've done a good deal  ;D"

So I'd be happy with it

Disappointed we didn't trade out but happy with those 2 picks in the Nat Draft

It will happen in my opinion. Why would we trade for pick 19 and offer it for Yarran if we didn't have some sort of in principal agreement with Carlton beforehand

Unless we package it with 12 for a big fish :shh

Richmond will almost certainly now seek to pass on pick No.19 to Carlton for Yarran, who is contracted for 2016 but keen for a fresh start.

From Twitter

Everyone has an opinion  ;D

@al_superfooty: Chris Yarran polled fewer votes in the Carlton B&F than Simon White and Dennis Armfield. Pick 19 is more than fair. #getitdone

I agree good result if end up with picks 12 and 19.. I am worried about a player whose best game is always against us and we seek to draft on that basis. It reminds me of the decision to pick up Neeld.

Trade Wrap: Tigers no closer to Yarran

"RICHMOND appears no closer to securing Chris Yarran despite securing a late first-round pick in the three-way trade that sent Charlie Dixon from Gold Coast to Port Adelaide on Tuesday.

As part of the Dixon deal, Richmond received pick No.19 from Gold Coast in exchange for its second-round picks this year (No.31) and next.

The Tigers had hoped pick No.19 would be a satisfactory swap for Yarran, but AFL.com.au understands the Blues quickly knocked back that proposal.

Carlton's initial asking price for Yarran was Richmond's first-round pick, No.12 overall, and, as of Tuesday night, it was yet to back down from that demand.

Despite the impasse, Yarran, who is contracted at Carlton for 2016, has not wavered in his desire to get to Punt Road.

Some rival clubs had suspected Hawthorn could make a last-minute play for Yarran with the pick No.15 it acquired from North Melbourne in the Jed Anderson trade, but it's understood Yarran won't be open to a late approach from another club.

Richmond has until 2pm on Thursday to reach an agreement with Carlton.

The Blues could bend before that deadline given they are understood to have agreed with Yarran that it's in both of their best interests that he be released from the final year of his existing contract.

Carlton's bargaining position could be further weakened by the fact Richmond remains Yarran's only genuine suitor."

Why is it up to us to reach a deal by 2pm?

Why not the other way around?

Mark Stevens on Ch 7 also reporting that Carlton is still demanding pick 12 because pick 19 isn't a first rounder (it's one out but technically was an end of first round compo pick for the Suns)  ::).

Tell the Blues we've been more than fair offering pick 19 and if they don't accept it then stuff them! We'll get Yarran for nothing this time next year while picking up two kids inside the top 20 in the National Draft. Carlton would be lucky to get a 3rd round compo pick under Free Agency.
