Andrew McGrath for me if Brodie is gone by 6....

[big tone]

Who is the best KPP in the draft?
We need someone to help either Rance or Jack.

McGrath tipped to go 1 or 2 at this stage...would take Taranto or Scrimshaw ahead of Brodie...

Forwards - Battle, Kerr, Marshall, Waterman, Sproule (GWS academy, bid required), Ratugolea (nominated as our academy pick if - will take if undrafted)

Rucks - McCarthy , Lynch, English

Defenders - Logue, Maibaum, McClarty (swingman),Macready (GWS academy, bid required), Rotham

...also Scrimshaw, who as I stated, would be more than happy with at pick 6  - can play KPD & midfield....


Next year is supposed to be a bumper draft for talls, far better than this year....

[Yeahright]

Taranto or Scrimshaw ahead of Brodie...

I would take either based on name alone. Never trust someone with two first names

[Stalin]

Who - Taranto or Kirby? They usually are around that age in in the draft.

Kirby

I assumed he was 22 or something

[one-eyed]

Early top 30 mock draft:

With a big game in the form of the Under-18 All-Stars game on Friday, and also the all-important National and State Combines, make sure to check back regularly to see who the big draft movers are. Could we have another Clayton Oliver or Nakia Cockatoo?

These rankings are based purely on player ability and don’t take into consideration the picks that each team holds, but they will form the basis of the full FP Phantom Drafts over the weeks to come.

If it's a typical Richmond draft it'll be:

First pick  - Setterfield or Perryman (signaled to the entire footy world a month out from the draft of course)

Second pick - nobody we wanted or really needed (while players we did are taken by other clubs within the following 5 picks.)

Third pick and later - players we've neither heard of nor mentioned, a state leaguer aged 22-24, a pass when there's still some decent players on the board and rookie upgrades for Short & Castagna.

Followed by immediate self praise by the club.

 "Oh look, We just couldnt believe our luck the players we wanted would be there at our selections. I know we say it every year, but we have recruited extremely well this year."

Taranto now shaping as a top 4 pick (kicked 4 today).....

Maybe we should pick up Petrevski-Seton or English. Freo can't pick both!
