I’m personally not fussed if we don’t take either academy kids but if we do I hope it’s for next to nothing

Yeah way better to do a mock tomorrow and let the content go crazy for a week and then a late mail next week. Way better

I get Cal wants to be accurate but I genuinely don’t think the public really cares if he is or not. Would rather just see who goes whwre, what range to what team etc.

If CDT slips, I could see Richmond talking Taylor and CDT and letting Robey go

Yeah right now there is a huge vacuum of nothingness which they can fill really well with a phantom draft

I just can’t see West Coast taking Robey. He had some break out games, but hasn’t shown anywhere near the consistent football that most of the top 10 have.

Like a number of his Eastern Ranges teammates, Xavier Taylor improved in leaps and bounds over the course of the season and rose steadily up draft boards as a result. He was very much focused on his defensive duties to start the season, showing his elite ability to lock down on a variety of opposition forwards, but with growing confidence through the middle of the year he started to blossom as an attacking threat, picking his moments to run off his direct matchup and damage through the middle of the ground. It all came together for him in the Talent League Grand Final where he was deservedly named best on ground, at times looking like a one man wall across the defensive 50 as well as racking up a stack of the footy going forward.

if you had CDT sharp and Robey and one pick who would you take?

I think theres 2 scenarios that seem likely if Melbourne dont trade up.

Scenario 1.
Wce - Duursma & Sharp
Rich - CDT & Taylor
Ess - Robey & Cumming

Scenario 2.
Wce - Duursma & CDT
Rich - Taylor & Robey
Ess - Sharp & Cumming

I prefer scenario 2.

Thanks so much for all your videos and analysis @noobermensch I would love one of Sharp/ Robey and Taylor. Competitive beasts that look hungry. And then someone zippy to partner up with Kako with a later pick. Dovaston would be the dream but highly suspect he will be gone before our next pick. Go Dons

I think you’re trying to manifest Richmond to take Grjl mate :joy:

I’m not a betting man, but I saw a comment that mentioned Richmond selecting Robey and Taylor as their picks is now a heavy favourite.

Which in theory leaves us with Sharp and Cumming - which I would be very happy about.
