Would laugh my t@s off if we take the player Essendon were gunning for with their last national draft pick 1 pick before them
They will be kicking themselves that they didn't take that pick off us then

I think The Bombers need to borrow our commemorative "Danny Frawley Broom" as there are dust bunnies right through their list.

I believe Essendon are just going to use their 3rd pick (#47) to promote one of their rookies (Howlett). So they will have only two live picks if that is the case. In a supposedly strong draft that's crazy stuff from a bottom 3 club. We know as we've been down that stupid path a few times ourselves.

Following on from what you've said infamy, we can screw Essendon by getting wind of who they want in the PSD and we pick him up with our last pick in the National draft. Even if Essendon weren't going to use it, allowing us to keep hold of our two 3rd round picks just allows us the flexibility and a better chance to get the kids we're after. We could pick up Houli with a 4th/5th rounder in the 70s/80s with all the other clubs knowing he wants to come to Richmond and only Richmond. Knowing the AFL they'll make sure it happens to appease the AFLPA (see Luke Ball last year). The Bombers were stupid if they thought the PSD was the only option for us to get Houli.

The prospect of attempting to take him in the  National Draft still holds more risks though than the PSD. I think its worth the risk though.

But MT, is Eau De Essendon something we should be sniffing considering their recent drafting record? It would be good to take their pick just to spite them but in all honesty I have far more faith in our current scouting team than theirs.

Take him at pick 67 if we think we can get away with totally taking the pee

Our last 3 picks should be Houli, the Gourdis upgrade, and PSD #2

6, 29, 47, 50 used on kids

bank the compo pick

So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Just on Houli for a moment, does anyone know it the club has requested he be placed on the permission to train list yet? When do the lads get back on the track?
