2021 Draft thread

Chesser sounds good. I'd be happy for us to use Geelong's pick on him.

[Gracie]

Would like another top 20 pick or 2

[Diocletian]

Surely we'd have to take Amiss of he's still on the board at 9...

Rachelle at 17 would be highway robberry....

These two look great and I have an eye on Goater.

That's all good and well, but can they play football?

Very even after the first few this year and they are not far ahead.
It fairy even all the way to the second round . Matt Clarke said we go for the best available and then look what we need.
With the talls look good from the WA vs SA game it would have to be a super deal to trade our picks . Looking forward to this draft

[one-eyed]

If you are a club looking for a key-position player this year, go west.

Rhett Bazzo becomes the latest West Australian tall to enter AFL.com.au's rolling NAB AFL Draft team of the year after a standout performance in his state's under-19 championships win over South Australia last week.

The 195cm tall defender was terrific in WA's 29-point win, hauling in 10 marks in the backline and gathered 18 disposals and six rebound-50s.

Bazzo has been also used as a key forward at stages in Swan Districts' colts side, including a promising three-week patch at the start of the season that saw him boot a total of eight goals.

WA teammate Jacob van Rooyen was also excellent in the start of the under-19s carnival with eight grabs in defence, with the potential top-20 pick being shifted from attack to the backline in the rolling team of the year.

Im on the Bazzo bandwagon. I hope his a Richmond player by the end of draft night. If we leave draft night with Hobbs and Bazzo Ill be ecstatic

[camboon]

I’d be happy with Van Rooven  too, as matter of fact I won’t be too disappointed with any of those boys
I hope our development coaches are raring to go

[Gracie]

Still thinking we need extra picks in the top 20

[MaccaDacca]

As far as I can see if we want another top 20 pick one of the following would need to happen.

 - Split pick 7 into two top 20 picks in the teens. (Unlikely but possible)
 - Trade next years first pick for a pick in this years first round. (Unlikely but possible)
 - Trade CCJ - our only player with currency. (Hope we don't do this btw)

Any other bright ( sensible) ideas?

It's been mentioned before but we could convince the Dogs to trade their first rounder (~14) for a bundle of our later picks (28, 40 &  44) that give them the draft points they need for an early bid on Darcy. That would leave us with picks 7, 14, 16 & 26.

It depends on what they get for Lipinski. If the Pies or Blues cough up an early second rounder (20 or 25) for him then the Dogs won't need to trade their first. However, if they only get a 3rd rounder then they will need to generate the points by some other means. Trading with us would avoid them having to use a decent future pick.

[MaccaDacca]

i feel like Collingwood's first pick is gettable too

[camboon]

They traded it to the GWS

[MaccaDacca]

How on earth are they going to have the points for Nick Daicos??
