I am no expert with draftees etc & lean on those in here that are, but i'd say no if it's a "because they fill a need" pick. U can end up with list cloggers very easily doing that.

He was out of contract and a free agent, and seemed to be happy at Punt Road. Are you saying he was offered a new contract? Maybe he was but as I said Balmy earlier indicated a different view.
CCJ was certainly made such an offer but I havn’t seen any media reporting that suggests that Marbiol was also.

I don't mind this play. There will be player(s) dominating State leagues next yr that barely anyone has heard of at this point in time.
I also recall when he was with us that posters were calling for him to go after his lack of 2nd efforts in the games he played at snr level. He was good this yr & good on him, now he's got to back that up as King is back so he'll be up against Casboult for that 2nd spot again.
Agree
Im Happy to see Chol doing well and really couldnt give a fyling F what CCj does and wouldnt surprise me to see him out of the game in 3 years time with Clarko coming in as coach (I liked him as a junior but really has not dveloped to become the dominant big man he projected).
Happy both have been moved on and we got decent compo for both whilst saving $900k in 2022 in cap space
Watched him live and closely several times over 4 years
The closest thing to liam baker since liam baker.
Been AA every year since he was 13, once at double bottom age.
Ultra competitive, runs all day, great overhead, kicks goals, 175
I rate him a first round talent comfortably, but his height may see him slide a bit, though i doubt it.
Any pre phantom drafters who rate him better reach, cause GC will be paying overs
The key forward draft prospect that is standing out like a “beacon”
“At the moment he’s showing great signs.”

Was definitely rated as a top draft prospect at the start of the year.
Still a baby BH. Not 18 until November. This probably is why he tapered off.
A good long term prospect to take the punt on with our pick.
Most articles suggest we wanted to keep him, including this one with a direct quote from Balme so not sure what Balme quotes you are attributing to him.
Most reports had that we wanted to keep him, but knew we couldn't offer the same sort of money that the Suns were. More money, longer contract, close to family, you can see why he left.
Report: Richmond free agent commits to new club
He'll leave Tigerland after six seasons.

Lemmey, showed so much last year. But Scully is young and still growing and hasn't been exposed to elite pathways, huge upside.
They are both risky and I wouldn't mind if you took both, to be honest. Hope you got one right.
Thanks Posh.Most articles suggest we wanted to keep him, including this one with a direct quote from Balme so not sure what Balme quotes you are attributing to him.

The message from Balmy was via live media. Not sure which one. Possibly the Richo podcast and it came early.
It suggested an oversupply of rucks and that there would be a change.
Certainly the message was different after CCJ committed to seek a transfer to NM but I remember Balmy’s message because at the time I thought we were backing the wrong horse.

Was a gun in his underage year but not as prominent this year. Similar to Sonsie. Not sure if injuries, tanking for West C or just a drop in form is the reason
Yep I would be inclined to take the punt on both.
At our picks its a low risk / high reward scenario.
Ely Smith, another one delisted from lions remember people wanted him draft night.
Agree, if we can take Lemmey and Scully with those picks, they will be good choices. Both were very highly rated and have slid, and definitely fill our list deficiencies.
Lemmey & Scully with a project ruck/forward in the rookie draft. Knobel, Verrall, Northam all in the frame.
Hagan with an A,
Jed is a Geraldton boy who as Ezy says is short but is a jet, has moved up the grades & adapted well each time.
Bakes is a very accurate comparison
Ted Clohesy anyone? Seems to be slipping under the radar but his contested game is approaching beast mode, twice he racked up 20 contested possessions in the NAB league, his VFL game yielded 15 touches & a goal & his state form solid with 17 touches, 8 tackles & a goal in his 3 appearances.
