Richmond Rant / Re: 2025 AFL Draft

@ElliotSinJin
It seems pretty unlikely that Kellaway will be bid on prior to pick 38. I have not seen him in any media top 40 rankings. If a big is made after pick 37 Richmond could literally use pick 99 to match if they chose to.

@ElliotSinJin
I think he definitely gets to us. In a recent interview he said only two clubs had interviewed him outside of richmond

** Accompanying image details updated AFL bid-matching rules, including 10-90% discounts on father-son bids from picks 1-36 and equivalent point matching up to selection 36, enabling low-cost responses like using pick 99 post-pick 37. **

I am a huge wrap for Charlie. At his best, he’s got all the attributes to be a top shelfer as a key forward.
Sydney is the perfect fit as it has been so many times before when a key forward wants out of Melbourne.

It’s the perfect match and I think putting knee to one side (Crazy Joe Daniher had a very similar knock on him) he will kill it at Sydney

Well, if we’ve got a thirst for it, we should really crack a soldo!
In all seriousness, that dog hawkins ruined his career when he shoved him in a pack and he did his knee. A slowish big man became almost immobile when he came back.

I don't get the whippings. He was a limited but serviceable player. We've had worse.

Gave Nank a chop out and could be quite reliable in front of goal if only 30m out or so. The combination worked well in 2019-20 and if it wasn't for fat-arse Porkins he would be a dual premiership player.

Knee injury really set him back IMO.

It’s pretty simple
I’d prefer to get games into kids than an older Soldo

I see it as a wasted list spot

I agree

Just don't agree he's one of our worst ever players.

We've had blokes that wouldn't get a game on merit. Soldo got 50+ and a flag.

@tommorris32
Sydney has offered a deal to Carlton for Charlie Curnow.

Pick 11, 2026 first rounder, Ollie Florent & Will Hayward.

The Swans want Curnow and a late pick in return

stuff

Blues should take it and run.

Unless Curnow does a Daniher I am quite suss on his knees. Reckon that's a huge return for Curnow.

Not to mention he kicked something like 19 of his 80 goals in a Coleman year against WCE in two games.
