AFL Draft 2016: Collingwood trade could prove costly as future draft picks shake out

Richmond will go November’s national draft with a single selection inside the top 40 as a result of the Chris Yarran trade.

The Tigers and Collingwood are among 11 clubs to have traded away crucial selections in the first three rounds of the 2016 national draft using new future pick trading rules.

Expansion sides GWS and the Suns will boast an extraordinary 11 out of the first 36 selections in November’s draft.

Gold Coast snared Richmond’s second-round pick and last year’s No.31 selection for pick 19, which Richmond then gave to Carlton.

The Suns gambled correctly that the Tigers would slide down the ladder with Yarran, battling personal issues, not expected to play a senior game this year.

Richmond’s lack of a second-round pick will impact their ability to either secure Gold Coast star Dion Prestia or continue restocking their list with elite talent.

Hold your head in shame our footy department putting the club in this position in the draft for a player not even played a game yet or maybe never will.Were was the due diligence by our club ???.Sack the lot of them Dan Richardson and the rest of them who put us in this hole  .

Hence Hardwick talking up the quality of our current list. Cant really come out and say we need a rebuild given our hands are tied at the draft. Terrible position to be in and with the Suns and GWS to gain more high picks the gap between the haves and the have nots is getting larger by the minute.

Unless the recruitment department changes we will be stuck in a mire regardless of what draft picks we have.

How many games did this "choice" play @ Carlton over the last two years he was on their list?

These people are pathetically under qualified at the required professional level.
Just look at the track record over the last however many years.

That they're still employed by Gayle and Peggy simply proves the place is
a "Jobs for mates posing as politically correct corporation" environment. .

In isolation, I think the Yarran trade is an overreaction by posters on this forum.
It's half a season in, doesn't look great but there's still time however bleak it currently looks.
Now the Hampson trade is a disaster, recruiting players like Townsend and Moore after the clear failures in bringing Thomas, Hunt etc, keeping Maric, Morris, Chappy too long and not delivering any one (or three) of Hartlett, Treloar, Armitage, Hannebery, Parker and most probably Hurley and Prestia are the real shortcomings in our list management.

It makes you wonder why we never trade out for picks / future picks

I m know the dud love is fashionable at tigerland but still ...

probably because the only thing we have in excess are duds, which bring nothing in trade value.

the acadamy system chances this to a point, that is only one year old
