Carlton is a very interesting one.  They've paid a decent price to trade up to 3, I wonder if that is for someone specific or they were just generally impressed with the quality of the top echelon and wanted to get access.

IMO their greatest list need is a class small forward, it seems Kako is the pick but he's unavailable, Joe Berry would probably have been available right around their original first rounder. It's all the more interesting since they got rid of Owies, Martin and Durdin in the trade period.

It will be fascination to see who they go for.

Maybe @No. 31 can offer some insight?

Richmond have played this very very well.  The silence out of the Tigers has been deafening. No leaks whatsoever and everyone is still guessing what they will do at 1.   

I've got a feeling they are going Jagga Smith at 1.  I don't know why, but I think that will happen.  It will be very interesting what happens from here.

Can’t remember a draft with so many uncertainties this late in the day. Clearly a LOT of pick swaps hanging, where we won’t know outcomes till we’re into the thick of it on draft night.

I don't know if Dodson is any good but an apprentice ruckman would be good timing.
