Unlikely, got caught out with Trying to bid up Hawthorn a couple of years ago, MRJ ain’t worth the risk of Richmond not matching the bid

18. GWS - Jack Carroll
19. Collingwood - Eddie Ford
20. Richmond - Brayden Cook


PICK 20 - RICHMOND FOOTBALL CLUB

Brayden Cook
SA
189 cms
82 kgs

FWD / WING

HIGHLIGHTED TESTING RESULTS:
SA Draft Combine:
Running Vertical Leap (R/L) – 72cm/74cm
Agility – 8.45 seconds
Endurance (2km) – 6 minutes, 48 seconds

STRENGTHS: AREAS TO IMPROVE:
Versatility Inside game
Athleticism One v One strength
Goal sense Finishing consistency
In game smarts
Decision making
Elusiveness
Marking
Match winner
Leading Patterns

Brayden has had a rapid rise up the ranks this year, mainly due to being able to play while others could not, but his own game and game style improved out of site, reflecting said rise.
Each year there is a bolter or two and Cook, this year, is one i really like at this pick for Richmond.
His upside looks to be big, and his AFL style traits are there for all to see.

His attacking drive when in possession, with the ability to move through traffic is a sight to see.
The modern day height for a midfielder will entice clubs to see if he can translate his outside game to an inside one also.

He can win his own ball, and although the stats do not show it, his tackling, whilst it could improve in numbers, is ferocious. He has the ability to win a game off his own boot, and whilst he has kicked a few behinds as well, its his attack on the goal face that is a pleasure to watch.

He wants and wills his own team to win the game and it is infectious among team mates.
Away from goals, his nous to find space and use good leading patterns is eye-catching as is his burst from a pack when with or without possession.

Without possession he uses his game smarts and ability to read the play to not only spread well into space but create space for team mates and link up in a chain of play from the back line to the forward line, proving his ability to play the wings quite well.

His hands in marking contests are fantastic for a player of his position, averaging around 7 marks a game, and coupled with his ability to hit the scoreboard, (averaging 2 goals per game) his forward ability shines through.

He has had a big growth spurt this year not only in height but he has put on the weight as well so is more ready to get to work than some others in his position who may need a few years to bulk up a bit. I don't think his growth has finished yet either, leaving him to be a pick that i think fits this position for Richmond. He is a Richmond style player and an enticing prospect that i could not leave on the board for anyone else.

Luckily enough Richmond have many positions covered and are going well as a team putting them in a position to grab Brayden here (if only in this draft) as an exciting prospect for the future, and have one of the biggest improvers of the year who not only has grown his game but also his body, with a high ceiling and talent to boot.

According to Callum Twomey:

10. Tanner Bruhn
Considered by clubs to be more unlikely than likely to feature in the top 10, although the Bombers and Giants do have an interest. North is a chance, but could he get to Richmond at No.17?

15. Finlay Macrae
The Bombers have shown some interest in Macrae, while Adelaide and North Melbourne will consider. Richmond, Melbourne and St Kilda are others deeper in the first round who will look closely in the possibility he slips, which is a chance if he doesn't go early.

18. Brayden Cook
The Magpies are a chance, as are Richmond at pick 17. St Kilda will also take a look, while the Crows and Dockers are also in the mix.

23. Bailey Laurie
Likely to fit in somewhere at the back end of the first round or early in the second. GWS and Melbourne have been linked, while Richmond could also have a dip.

Laurie will probably still be there but I'd be surprised any of others were... :shh

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/

:shh
As long as he isn't another flanker type that shirks or can't win his own ball in the contest like a Ben Lennon, Corey Ellis or Reece Conca. We haven't done well in the past with drafting flankers in the first round  :-\.]

I'd say Lennon's the most relevant comparison out of those three and he's supposedly very quick and agile where as Benny boy was painfully slow and not very agile... :shh
Eddie Ford said he models his game on Nat Fyfe.

Foxsports' round 1 prediction has us taking Matt Allison.


Early Mail: Who YOUR club is considering drafting in the first round of the AFL Draft

Matt Balmer
December 4, 2020 12:47pm
FOX SPORTS



PICK 21: RICHMOND – MATT ALLISON

Clubs: Calder Cannons/Vic Metro

Position: Key Forward

Size: 194cm/81kg

Bio: Allison is one of the top talls who has a stack of scope for improvement. He can get up and down the ground using his strong endurance base, which is also matched by a good acceleration when on a lead. He has been used as a midfielder on the outside at times and still has untapped potential there if a club think they can develop him further. He is very raw and his numbers in the NAB League suggest that, but there are plenty of clubs tracking the Victorian.



In the mix: Richmond’s pick is one of the hardest in the first round to predict given they have no pressing needs. They have been linked with a few of the taller prospects in Allison and Liam Kolar from Northern Knights. It might be a touch early for either, but given the age profile of the Tigers another young forward wouldn’t be the worst option. Don’t rule the Tigers out of trading the selection into the second round or into 2021.




PICK 1: WESTERN BULLDOGS – JAMARRA UGLE-HAGAN (BID MATCHED)
PICK 2: ADELAIDE CROWS – LOGAN MCDONALD
PICK 3: NORTH MELBOURNE – RILEY THILTHORPE
PICK 4: SYDNEY SWANS – DENVER GRAINGER-BARRAS
PICK 5: HAWTHORN – WILL PHILLIPS
PICK 6: GOLD COAST SUNS – ELIJAH HOLLANDS
PICK 7: ESSENDON – ARCHIE PERKINS
PICK 8: ESSENDON – ZACH REID
PICK 9: ESSENDON – NIK COX
PICK 10: SYDNEY SWANS – BRAEDEN CAMPBELL (BID MATCHED)
PICK 11: ADELAIDE CROWS – FINLAY MACRAE
PICK 12: PORT ADELAIDE – LACHIE JONES (BID MATCHED)
PICK 13: GWS GIANTS – HEATH CHAPMAN
PICK 14: NORTH MELBOURNE – TOM POWELL
PICK 15: FREMANTLE – OLIVER HENRY
PICK 16: GWS GIANTS – BAILEY LAURIE
PICK 17: BRISBANE – BLAKE COLEMAN (BID MATCHED)
PICK 18: COLLINGWOOD – CONOR STONE
PICK 19: COLLINGWOOD – REEF MCINNES (BID MATCHED)
PICK 20: GWS GIANTS – TANNER BRUHN
PICK 21: RICHMOND – MATT ALLISON
PICK 22: MELBOURNE – BRAYDEN COOK
PICK 23: MELBOURNE – JACK CARROLL
PICK 24: GWS GIANTS – LUKE PEDLAR
PICK 25: ST KILDA – NATHAN O’DRISCOLL

If we can get 2 picks in the 20 range early 30 I would consider it very even draft.
