2025 AFL Draft

[MintOnLamb]

Picks 2 and 3
By any stretch of the imagination or delving into fantasy world:
Could we trade these into 8, 9, 10, 11 ?

Finally a range for kellaway

I'm actually starting to feel any two of Sharp, Cumming, Taylor and Robey will be awesome. Benefits of two very early picks I guess.

Although, some of the draft profiles make me feel like turning pick 3 into a couple of later first rounders might be ok too

They've released their top ten now with a phantom draft scheduled for midweek:

The pick Richmond received from North last year could help them get another early pick in next year's draft. 👀

"I think Richmond is open to splitting their pick number 3 and moving back or to get an extra first round pick next year." - Cal Twomey

Has us taking Sharp and Robey. I'd be stoked with that!

Richmond open to shifting Pick 3

SEN / Trade Radio
2 Oct 2025

Richmond have collected a glut of first round talent over their recent rebuild, and according to Cal Twomey, the club may be open to sourcing further first round talent.

Entering the 2025 National Draft, the Tigers hold both Pick 2 and 3, landing North Melbourne’s first rounder in a trade involving Matt Whitlock in 2024.

However according to Twomey, the club may be willing to shift from one of those picks in order to acquire additional first rounders later in the draft.

“Richmond has to think closely around what it’s going to do with its picks,” Twomey told Trade Radio.

“I think that they are open to trading back or splitting Pick 3 – their second pick (of the draft).

“I think that they could either split that back and push back into multiple picks this year, or trade one back and get an extra future first round pick for next year as well, bearing in mind that they are probably going to be a bottom four side again next year.

“If you can add another two first rounders this season, and two next year as well after what they took next year, its basically bringing in half a team of first round picks over three years.

“That’s the build before Tasmania, and that’s something they will be open to.”

Yup. I’ve had my doubts on Robey and still think it’s a risk but taking Sharp with him would balance it out.

I really dislike this idea that we’re gonna trade either our pick 2/3 for a latter 2025 first rounder and a 2026 first rounder. Reason being is your taking a gamble with the club you trade with hoping they finish towards the bottom of the ladder so you nab a top end pick. I just don’t see which club we could get a pick in the early teens this season and a pick around the 5 mark next season.

[TigerLand]

I was hot on Lindsay but he just hasn't kicked on enough to be Pick 3 or 4. I think we have to draft Sharp, why his stocks are going cold after the season has finished is weird. The kid is a jet. Combine will be interesting.

I wonder if Pick 3 could be traded to Tassie, and take 2 of their high first rounders next year. I'm guessing whoever was drafted this year wouldn't be happy going to a non AFL club but could be genius and helps Tassie spread their talent pool.

Sharp and probably Robey for me, can't knock that on the info provided.

[ajGreen]

Are people suggesting we use pick 2-3 on a player like Robey who is projected to go 30+?

I don’t know anything about the kid and he may end up being the pick of the draft for all I know but that is an incredible risk to take on a seriously shallow draft.

Almost certain we are just going to take 2 out of Duursma, CDT, Sharp, Lindsay, Cumming or Greeves.

Heard someone compare the rise of Robey to Alix Tauru last season.

Would be happy with that as Tauru looks like a jet
