Our first pick traded for Geelong's future first rounder [updated]

[one-eyed]

Any preference(s) in who we take with our first pick?

[camboon]

I like Ford or Cox as they are key position players who may be available but I’m guessing they will take the best available based on money ball

Twomey on the AFL website doesn't have a phantom draft yet but he has Jack Carroll around our first pick (pick 17 -> 21 with academy bids)

21. Jack Carroll

187cm/79kg
20/12/02
East Fremantle/Western Australia
Midfielder

A broken wrist late in the season cut Carroll's campaign short but he still tested at the WA Combine with his arm in a cast. Carroll is a player who works well in traffic, having played as a midfielder and also across half-back. The East Fremantle prospect wins his own touches and is comfortable being used in a few different roles.

An already unpredictable draft is becoming even more so by the time we get to this point. Having taken some big inside mids recently, perhaps Richmond go in a different direction here and pick an athletic medium forward.

Pick 23 – Melbourne – Nathan O’Driscoll
Pick 24 – GWS Giants – Henry Walsh
Pick 25 – St Kilda – Jake Bowey

Hopefully Collingwood trade their next years 1st round  pick for our pick 17.

All we need this year is to pick up Rioli and to promote a couple of rookies.

[mightytiges]

The Pies want to use their two first rounders to con North out of their pick 2.

As for us, I'd be holding onto our first. The lack of junior footy this year making it harder for recruiters could see a gun kid, who would normally push into the top 5-10 based on U18 champs  and NAB league form, slip down to our pick 17.   

[camboon]

What’s the chances North roll over and lose a chance to get a 200 game CHF,
 remember when SYDNEY and Port offered two 1st round picks for a pick 3 Richmond had
Guess who we got for that pick

[Diocletian]

Sydney actually wanted pick 3 to gazump Freo for Morabito...they thought he was the next Goodes...

[camboon]

Probably, but we used it on Dusty

[Knighter]

Incorrect - Kinnear Beatson is on record as saying they would have used in on Dusty. He’d seen him play more than most as he was Sydney based when with his Dad

Foxfooty.com.au looks at which draftee your club could target in the 2020 draft with their first pick.

RICHMOND

Draft picks: 17, 36, 61, 79, 97

Father-Son/Academy prospects: Maurice Rioli Jnr

Given Richmond has been an AFL powerhouse in recent years, the Tigers don’t have any huge needs at the draft and will have father-son Maurice Rioli Jnr joining them in the off-season.

They might take a punt on Kaine Baldwin, with the South Australian tearing another ACL in 2020 - his second in as many years. The 193cm tall was an All-Australian in his Under 16 year, but clubs will have very little information to go off if they are to select him. With a hole opening up inside 50 given Jack Riewoldt’s career being close to finishing, the Tigers might well look at Baldwin as the perfect option to develop under the star veteran and form a partnership with Tom Lynch for the future.

Q: Do Richmond go for a midfielder, given most good talls will be gone before their first pick?

Twomey: The midfielders potentially in that mix for the Tigers would be Powell, O'Driscoll, Carroll, Macrae, Trew. Also Zavier Maher and Sam Berry have their fans in the 20s part of the draft and are different players but both with some power.

Like the sound of this kid....The Roar has us taking him in their Phantom Draft: https://afl.draftcentral.com.au/2020/07/13/afl-draft-watch-eddie-ford-western-jets-vic-metro/





Is Sam Berry related to Jarrod Berry? Wouldn't be against grabbing Macrae if he's still on the board...always handy to have the brother of another club's gun on your books....or at least better than drafting the brother of other club's dud...
