The player your AFL club should consider taking with their first draft pick

Ben Waterworth

RICHMOND

Draft picks: 10, 16, 27, 29, 42, 47

List state of play: With the likes of Trent Cotchin, Dustin Martin, Shane Edwards, Kane Lambert and Dion Prestia on the list, the Tigers haven’t used a lot of early draft picks on midfielders in recent years outside of Riley Collier-Dawkins in 2018. But with the Tigers ranked 18th for clearance differential and 16th for scoring differential from stoppages this season, the time has come for the Tigers to recruit some young on-ballers. And they couldn’t be better placed to do so with two first-round picks for a midfield-heavy draft. Or they could use those two picks in the trade period if they wanted to secure a star on-baller from a rival club, such as Adam Cerra or Tom Mitchell.

Ideal draft prospects: If the Tigers don’t trade away their two first-rounders, there’s an array of midfielders for them waiting at the draft table. South Adelaide duo Arlo Draper and Matthew Roberts, who both showed brilliant form at SANFL Under 18s level this season before copping injuries, would be in their zone, as would Northern Knights on-baller Josh Ward. The other option would be to package those two first-rounders and offer them to a club with an earlier pick – such as the Giants or Suns – so they can target one of the draft class’ top on-ballers, like a Ben Hobbs or Finn Callaghan.

So if pies finish last they get pick 1 and also Daicos?

How does that set up work?

Pies traded their 1st pick to GWS and got in a head of 2nd round picks to Daicos.

If Pies finish bottom or even 2nd bottom, it'll be the worst trade in the history of the game. Because they absolutely would have got Pick 1 and left Daicos for 2nd round pick, or if they finished 2nd bottom Pick 1 I'd say wouldn't have risked losing out on Horne who looks like an absolute generational player. But regardless where they finish GWS get their first pick so sucked in Pies.
Go Tigers!

Richmond are keen to refresh their playing list with youth, having the club’s best draft hand for more than a decade, including what may be a top 10 pick (their own), Geelong’s first-round pick and a further two selections, St Kilda’s and their own, in the second round of the national draft.

#25 Judson Clarke   Dandy Stingrays/Vic Ctry | Small Forward/Mid     17/10/2003 | 179cm | 69kg      July Ranking: NR

IN THE MIX:

State trial games in South and Western Australia have seen a number of players rise into contention, or at least confirm their status as genuine prospects. Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera was a standout in the South Australian trial, which was played in horrendous conditions, but did little to diminish his class and poise on the ball. Lewis Rayson was another to show a bit in that game with his run on the outer, while midfielder Hugh Jackson could be around the mark on the back of his tremendous SANFL Under 18s campaign to date. Meanwhile, Cooper Murley, who suffered a collarbone injury last month, was unlucky to be squeezed out.

Over in Western Australia, big-bodied midfielder Kade Dittmar has dominated his state’s trial games, as the likes of Corey Warner and Fremantle NGA product Jesse Motlop rise on the back of their respective League debuts. Luke Polson was the most recent WA Under 19s squad member to crack the senior grade, proving a mobile key position utility who isn’t afraid to run with the ball. Fellow talls Rhett Bazzo and Jacob van Rooyen have also had their moments with the latter even swinging to defence recently, but find themselves out of the 25 this time around.

A bunch of NAB Leaguers continue to knock the door down too, with crafty Vic Metro ball magnets Zac Taylor and Jake Soligo among them. Connor Macdonald fits in a similar category and has been terrific this season, while fellow Vic Country representative Mitch Knevitt has a bunch of traits which may put advance his standing as a big-bodied midfielder. Athletic wing-forward Blake Howes continues to float around the mark, while Sandringham teammates and St Kilda NGA hopefuls Mitch Owens and Marcus Windhager have been big improvers over the last few weeks. Collingwood NGA Youseph Dib has also stood up valiantly for Oakleigh this year.

Butler's brother Sam sounds promising...listed as  8cm taller than Dan but a similar burst of speed and goal sense, moved to the midfield this year and impressed with his ground game...so possibly harder than his brother and hopefully more one-touch...can lay a tackle just like his brother used to be able to before he settled for the goosey loosey life....
