Alright, here’s how I see dream draft outcomes shaping up for each club — not impossible, but definitely the “best-case realistic” type scenarios.

Let’s roll

#RichmondTigers

They’re big on Cumming and Grlj, but if CDT + one of Robey/Taylor get taken, that’s elite.

Sam Allen available later would make it a second straight dream draft during the rebuild.

What would be the logic behind taking cumming ahead of Robey? Both listed as mid/fwds but Robey seems better at both positions and is 10cm taller. Cumming probably has him on speed but otherwise just seems like Robey lite to me. Anyone have any further insight on cumming?

[mightytiges]

I don't see Cumming getting picked ahead of Robey given Robey's bigger and a better kick. But, Cumming does have more games across two U18 SANFL seasons to judge him by (he's also been very consistent over that period) compared to a bolter like Robey who only came onto the scene for the Eastern Ranges in the U18 NAB League from round 12 onwards (mind you Robey was starring by the finals).

I wish we had 3, 4 & 5 to take Robey, XT and Sharp lol

Does Norf have another top 5 pick they want to give us?

Ben Waterworth from Foxsports has us in his Phantom Draft taking Robey and Cumming 

PICK 7: RICHMOND — SULLIVAN ROBEY

Position: Midfielder/Medium Forward

Size: 192cm

Clubs: Eastern Ranges/Rowville

AFL player comparison: Jordan De Goey

Foxfooty.com.au Draft Power Rankings: 7


From Rowville Under 19s to Pick 7 in eighth months? The biggest bolter in an AFL draft since Clayton Oliver. After a gruelling pre-season, Robey earned his way onto the Eastern Ranges’ list mid-season after strong outings for Rowville in the Eastern Football Netball League Premier Division. What followed was a wild rise up draft boards, starring in the Coates Talent League firstly as a forward before pushing into the midfield. His jaw-dropping late-season burst was capped off by four goals from 13 disposals and five marks in the Ranges’ premiership triumph over the Sandringham Dragons. But the standout Robey game came against the Western Jets in a wild Wildcard Round game: Three goals from 40 disposals, nine marks and seven inside 50s. Robey has all the attributes required to be a strong AFL player. He’s super competitive with an infectious willingness to hunt the ball. He spreads well from congestion and he’s a good kick. He’s powerful, energetic and confident.



PICK 8: RICHMOND — SAM CUMMING

Position: Midfielder/Medium Forward

Size: 186cm

Clubs: North Adelaide/Wentworth/Prince Alfred College

AFL player comparison: Rory Sloane/Isaac Heeney

Foxfooty.com.au Draft Power Rankings: 10

SA Under 18s coach Tony Bamford this week dubbed Cumming “the silent assassin”, while one talent-watcher this year labelled Cumming “the prototype AFL midfielder”. Highly regarded for his class, power, speed, agility and competitiveness — both in the air and at ground level — Cumming has a terrific all-round profile. Cumming kicked four goals and averaged 17.0 disposals in SA’s championship-winning campaign to earn All-Australian honours. He then made a splash for North Adelaide’s SANFL league team, racking up 16 disposals against Sturt before a brilliant display against South Adelaide where he kicked 3.1 from 21 disposals, six inside 50s, five clearances, five tackles and five marks.

In the mix/trade watch:
 Right, my word, this is where the mystery surrounding this year’s draft really begins. The Tigers have been strongly linked to four players at these selections: Robey, Cumming, Xavier Taylor and Sam Grlj, with some late whispers around Jacob Farrow too. And when you ask around about what Richmond might do with these two picks, seemingly every person has a different combination. Many sources spoken to by foxfooty.com.au would be flabbergasted if the Tigers overlooked Taylor — a gun versatile defender who’s seen by some as potentially the final piece in the Richmond backline puzzle. Others have long linked the Tigers to midfielder Grlj, who played for Richmond’s VFL side and would bring a unique, tantalising athletic profile — the combination of speed, power and endurance — to the Tigers’ list. One thing is for certain: Whichever two players the Tigers select at Picks 7 and 8 will shape arguably the next 10 to 15 picks.

I don't understand the Sloane/Heeney comparison.

They are two quite different players haha.

Both good, no problem acknowledging that...

[crackertiger]

OER missing for a few days??

[Tiger Khosh]

What a week for the site to crash lol

Thankfully back up on draft day - was having to resort to bigfooty to get my fix haha

Anyway what does everyone think of twomeys final mock which has us taking Cumming and Robey? Guys been dead on with the first 10ish picks since 2021, but he doesn’t seem as sure this year, RFC leak proof atm, no one knows for sure what we’re doing and it’s killing them lol

It was the night before Christmas and I've landed on Taylor and Robey as my preference.

Cumming would be good too.

[ajGreen]

Starting to get to the stage where I think I'd be upset if it's Grlj or even cumming.

Without a Melbourne or essendon trade

Why?

Twomey has Grlj @ 15 and many people think similar.

Taking him at 3 or 4 (of the open players) would be a big reach for mine and disappointing

[ajGreen]

Wouldn't be shocked if there is still CDT hope.

Sharp. Duursma. Reid is pretty nice and well balanced

Then again maybe wce think they can get back in for sharp and take CDT 2
