Does packaging 16, 25 or 35 + a F1 get us another top 10 pick in 2023? On sheer points value, this package would easily be equivalent surely, but whether someone in the top 10 would do it, who knows...

I doubt any top 10 pick club would take that deal despite the inherent value.

My suggestion in another thread was that we could aim for a top 5 and a top 10 pick by multiple deals with different clubs.

eg using the picks you mention I could see us using 25, and F1 for a pick in the low teens to mid teens.  Then package that up with pick 16 giving two good first round picks to get a top 10 pick from different club. 

Then see where the Freo pick falls to see if we need to go higher and use #35 plus whatever to sweeten the deal.  We will probably get other picks in if we trade out players (even for third round picks) which again can be packaged to clubs who need points and upgrade $35.

Overall, I do think a top 5 and a top 10 pick in this draft is quite achievable - it just depends how we package the picks to get a top 10 pick in the first instance.

    Freo really need to recruit a tall guy who can take a mark.

    Freo have nothing. Lions are in cruise mode here and are still way better than them.

    If the Lions decides to click into top gear they'll win this by a 100 points

    I think this could work IF the Suns finish with something around pick 7/8 and their academy player is thought to go higher. If they can’t trade up it would be a very attractive offer for them.

    It’s the natural impact of playing bad teams. Watch us do the same tonight.

    Agree that a top 5 and 10 is very achievable depending what we do during the trade period prior. If our F/S pick expected to go mid twenties it would make sense to trade up with our two second round picks.

    Yes, lots of permutations.

    Like you I would much rather we aim for a top 5 and top 10 pick than use all our chips for pick 1, the original hypothetical in the other thread.

    There will definitely be more than one elite midfielder in the top 5 and then aim for the next best whatever with the top 10 pick.

    We have a top 5 pick from Freo. Take that to the bank.

    Yesss. GWS got up with a goal in the last minute. Top 5 pick is a big chance for us.

    So.... do we strategically drop games against the bottom 4 to improve our pick?

    I'm still bitter at Goodwin for beating the Tigers last week.

    I wholly agree - I mean Goodwin has a pretty good strike rate week to week, sure… but you’re right - he is not looking at the bigger picture, he is not succession planning - he is ultimately about himself… so is he the right guy? 🤨

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
