Norths 1st Round Pick - 2025 Hate Watch

Great start to our hate watch season with north going down to a severely undermanned doggies side.

0-1, 21L’s to go.

Beat me too it haha.

The death ride thread.

Be hilarious if we won 4ish games and finished 17th just ahead of them.

Last uncompromised draft...if H Reid wants to come home and we have picks 1 + 2 that would be a mightly good offer before Tas comes into the comp IMO.

I’m not sure how he is compared to Reid but I think the prospective no.1 pick, Dyson Sharp is highly highly rated in his own right.

After watching our 3 first rounders and with Smillie and Hotten to come, i am pretty sure I’d like to have our our picks used by our recruitment rather than west coast using them and us getting harley
"The money might have been better. But, at the end of the day, Richmond showed faith in me. It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”

It all depends on how highly the top 5 of this draft are rated. Harleys clearly a 10/10 prospect but is that better than having 2 x 8-9/10 prospects? I’d rely on the recruitment team to make that call. Don’t think u can go wrong either way.

If you draft 2 high end mids with our picks this year then that’s pretty much our midfield core set with Lalor, Smillie, Hotton & 2 x 2025 first round picks.

I'd offer one this year's firsts and a future first, not both - might have to offer up a WA player also, preferably Green or Smith but they'd probably want Blight (as promising as he is I'd give him up for Reid in a heartbeat) :shh

Reid for a player, one first and a future first and you aren’t biting?

Thank goodness you aren’t running things because that would be the steal of the century

If we have two top 5 picks this year for them and they want a steak knives I'd take the deal and run.

Midfield of Reid, Lalor, Smillie, other guys like Ross, Taranto, Hopper.

Yep. Deal.

I’m not so sold on Reid. He doesn’t look fit, would definitely question his commitment

Hmm yes - seem to recall a certain player many said the same thing about during their early years, particularly the third year. :shh

Not sold on a 19yo kid living 4000km from home (a small country town in Victoria)

A kid who doesn’t want to be where he is

Will be a superstar for whichever club brings him home

How can you be so certain? At this point it’s based off potential from a decent rookie season. I haven’t seen enough to sell the farm for him

A first, future first and one mid list player isn’t “selling the farm” lol

I’d expect them to ask for both our firsts this year and our first next year. Given youd expect all those picks to fall within the top5 (not sure if the Tassie concessions start from 2026?) then that is a hell of a draft haul to be trading away. If the later of our 1sts this year, our first next year and any middling player then that’s Defs worth a strong conversation. But yeah, I rekn they’d ask for more.
