Surely Adelaide pick up Dylan Stephens at 4?
You'd expect so if he's available

Stocker and Pick 9 vs Pick 4.If they do, does that mean Carlton essentially took Stocker over Stephens?
That could end as a Franklin < Tambling type legend

Stocker and Pick 9 vs Pick 4.
Yep perspective required Carlton has just extended Stocker for another 2 years and to have pick 9 they would be happy with their lot regardless of what other people think.
I agree Bullus is a very good poster and has a good eye for talent and knows what he is talking about but unfortunately there are too many people who post crap and take pot shots for his views and opinion.
This place is poorer for losing his opinion
Still think that if we hold our picks and Dylan Williams is available then he's a high reward choice. Could be a slider based off his injures this season, but can break a game wide open, was co-captain at Oakleigh, and his form as a bottom ager when he moved to the forward line was elite. Could be the next Stevie J in how he plays the game
IMO there is virtually no way we can improve our draft position in the first round especially with below clubs potentially looking to improve their draft position. Even if we packaged this years 1st and next years' 1st it's will virtually offering up pick 19 and what will be probably mid 20's with a significant number of top prospects next year tied to Academies and Father Son etc.
Maybe we might offer 39 & 40, (worth 875 points), for something mid 20's to early 30's if there is someone still on the boards that we really like, (we would need to sacrifice points in the process IMO).
No use fantasizing about Dylan Stephens, Deven Roberton and the like or getting a pick inside 10.
Gold Coast (with pick 15 and 20)
Brisbane (picks 16 and 21)
Geelong (picks 14 and 17)
Cannot see why those clubs would give up two early picks just to move up 4/5/6 places. Doesn't make sense to me. Gold Coast already have picks 1 and 2 so why spend two good picks to get one? Brisbane have a number of picks around 40/50 they could use with one of their first picks, they do not have to use the two top picks. Geelong have already indicated they are going to the draft with the picks they have.
I didn't really mean that they had to give up both rather they have multiple options with their other picks in which to maneuver. Bottom line is I don't think we can was my point.
Geelong have so many picks they could still move any which way on draft night depending how the cards fall.
Higgo is a very smart footballer and a good player, Williams has the ability to break a game wide open in the space of 10mins, and I dont think Hig has that ability
There is a major flaw with what went on back thenI do agree that this place is worse off without him but Bullus really didn't respond well to people challenging his opinion.
To me it was obvious that he got his opinion on a lot of players through watching highlight packages and scouring through stats. There's nothing wrong with that as long as your honest about it.
A big part of watching the kids and putting time into analysis is acknowledging that you could be wrong and open to other people's opinions. Bullus struggled with that and often interpreted those things as a personal attack.
The best outcome for Richmond to improve our position would be to trade with fremantleIMO there is virtually no way we can improve our draft position in the first round especially with below clubs potentially looking to improve their draft position.
