Some one had to be the good looking one. They couldn't all be blessed with buck teeth.

2021 Draft Thread

On Gibcus, whilst everyone goes on about his leap, I’ve seen plenty of games for the Rebels where he’s also stood in the hole and copped it, and either taken the mark or at least brought it to ground and not let an opposition player take an easy mark.
That’s how we play down back at Richmond and one reason why we’ve had the best backline I’ve ever seen.
Vlaus, Grimes, Dave, Rance. We take the beating and we fill the hole.

Looks like we played this strategy perfectly. Well done Tig's
Reckon you’re pretty much right with these predictions. Unfortunately McDonald (who most fits our needs) has been heavily linked with Carlton and I reckon Hawthorn will go Howes. Butler, Goater and Taylor would then be good options for us, but I suspect we’ll trade one pick out and use another on someone like Soligo.
The ideal would probably be to get North’s 22 for two of our picks and a later one back and use it on Sonsie, then use our remaining 20’s pick on Butler and the later pick on Soligo.
The only midfielders we haven't already found replacements for on potential are Trent and Dusty.
Picks 2 & 3.
I wouldn't expect the 4th or 5th best midfielders in a Covid draft to be in the same category myself.
We picked the #1 defender and a Richmond prototype, and we still have a surplus of 3 additional 2nd rounders in the bank (including next year's).
Not much wrong with that range of potential within reach of our next three picks. Obviously the club has different rankings and requirements to us punters and a heap of the media experts as well.
With three flags recently tucked away in the bank, I'm happy to trust the recruitment team have a fairly good idea of what they are doing.
Called the Brown at 17 pick in early November.
Sonsie and Taylor spot on also. Hopefully Sonsie drops to our late 20s picks as he is value there.

Yep it also gives us enormous flexibility with two x young 195cm athletic gazelle's (Balta)
Really doubt both end up long term key backs. We'll trial them up the ground at times and one will switch forward ILO.
Comes across as a bit laconic is his only issue. He'll be the first pick of tomorrow night.
Agree. I rate Sydney's talent spotting.
Twomey, Knightmare and others all had Brown at around pick 18 - so we did not reach.
Profile: The son of Paul Brown, Tom does his best work as a line-breaking defender. He possesses great speed and agility, often running around opponents like they're traffic cones, while intercepting well and defensively holding his own.
He will be a good player, I love the pick. And Gibcus too.
I know we are desperate for mids, but it is what it is. You have to start somewhere.
yeah think we'll have to trade to get one of Johnson or Sonsie.
27 and 28 should get it done you reckon?
then we take one of Mcdonald, butler, ronny,
would round out a very good haul.
My Ideal: Gibcus, Brown, Sonsie, McDonald + Rookie Ronny
Spot on Redmond, you're a good judge.
Stood in the hole versus Darcy a few times in the trial games and took the mark while being smashed. He has courage.

Tom Brown - plays on his toes, a bit like Sheds. I like his agility. I feel like he's a very safe bet as a draft pick. Solid footballer. Vlastuin vibes.
So much talent still on the board and three picks in a row to come. A combo of McDonald, Howes and one of Butler or Sonsie, and this draft haul is massive win.
