The picks I'd be offering to trade for future picks are 18, 20 & 23.

The problem with your thinking is you need to look at the actual players.
Armstrong is rated as 8-10 as the earliest key forward.
The next group of key forwards come in around 20.

Trading out each of 18, 20 and 23  means one less key forward.

Just based on Twomey's September rankings:
9 - Armstrong
19 - Shanahan
20 - Whitlock
22 - Faull
25 - Whitlock

Us getting 3 or even 4 of those forwards will fill our most gaping hole - key forwards


Yeah it's hard to know until the night.

I want (based off current opinions):
1 - FOS/Lalor
6 - Smillie
10 - Armstrong
11 - midfielder
18 - Shanahan

If we get those 3 then I'd be happy to move later picks to 2025, however like Redan said I'd be looking at Faull and Whitlocks also (W's can apparently go back).

We need to look at upgrade options on Miller/Young.

And our forward line is utterly F'd.

I wouldn’t use 3 first round picks on KPF. History shows they are extremely hit and miss and much riskier than drafting mids.

I think if we come away with 3 mids and 2 kpf’s we’ve done well.

Hartley mentioned dfa's during his interview so sounds like we might be targeting one or two...hopefully Membrey though word is the Filth are after him .... :shh

How about Tomlinson? Just got delisted by the dees.

Problem is he’s adding a key position body at the wrong end of the ground. Really need some stop gap KPF’s to fill some spots while the kids develop.

Not the worst idea - relatively versatile and would be a good mentor for Miller who reminds me of him in a lot of ways..... :shh

Kudos to the Richmond list management who turned Ty Vickery into two first round picks in two moves!

Not sure why we would trade out of this year's draft if it's as deep as they say, take the full 8 or trade up to 2 and take 7 picks or trade up with 20 & 23 into the mid teens on the night and take 6 picks.

Looks like Membreys off to the pies unfortunately. Would have been a solid stop gap for a couple seasons.

Lost clogger is Nick Hind, not interested. Pick some rookies and trial him like Campbell.

Not interested in Hind.

Imo the only position I’d be looking to bring in some mature age C-graders would be at KPF.

Every dud we get as a stop gap, means we don’t use one of our first round picks , delist more or not pu a player in the pre season
Not the time for discards this year imho
