We've been slowly chipping away over the last couple of years with more outside types. Kossie and to a lesser extent Rivers are classy run & carry players. Bowey into the side now, with Laurie to follow long term. Billings is a weird one, seems be a whipping boy at the Saints. Wouldn't be against him but he feels like a bit of an in-between type player - too small to be a mid, not super quick either so not overly damaging up fwd or the perfect winger.

Firstly, don't get obsessed with the points equivalent. We'd essentially be throwing [censored] at a wall with later picks to assist the Pies with their Daicos bid. Secondly, no way Maynard, who is contracted is only worth a 2nd rounder. He can play both tall and small. Don't get me wrong, he's not a guy you sell the farm over, but we'd be laughing if we didn't have to part ways with a first rounder for him.

Pies have picks 36, 41, 44, 45 = 1623 points They need 2400 (?) to match a pick 1 bid (3000 points less 20% discount?) Our picks 31 & 54 = 826 points In total that'd be 2449 points, allowing them to avoid a deficit next year So they'd gain the missing points needed for Daicos + Weid

The irony is he actually was getting media attention in 2018

Harmes has a minimum 5 fend offs per game quota and he’s not holding his side of the bargain, only averaging 4.5

Fair enough. On Harmes, not sure how this can be possible? He's being playing pure mid or close enough to it the last couple games, at the expense of Viney's additional forward time.

That'd kill the Eagles

Yep I was mistaken, he is a free agent

Weid (valued at: pick 30) Pick 31 (tied to Bris) Pick 54 Total points value - 1455, equivalent to pick 10 In exchange for Brayden Maynard. Remaining assets to trade into the 2021 draft: Pick 38 (tied to Hawks) Future 2022 1st round draft pick (Melb) - will be assumed to be pick 18 by opposition to cover worst case scenario (in their eyes) Total points value 1450 - equivalent to pick 10 Sign me up Lamby.

29 at the start of next year and the Swans would demand the world for him.

Welcome to Demonland: Steele Sidebottom

T Mac involved in the gym work, be hard to see him missing

Agreed, I'd be looking for another small to pair with Kozzie rather than an aging tall

The dynamic duo!

Anything doing on the Maynard front? Interesting that they'll probably need to offload another player. A unique situation too given they need points for Daicos.

Well we drafted him last year so no issues there ?

We have 2x second rounders & a future 1st - surely we'll try to trade into this years 1st round as per normal

Sounds like the Pies need to still get rid of a player too https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/teams/sydney-swans/afl-news-2021-sydney-swans-trades-rumours-players-out-of-contract-luke-parkers-future-buddy-franklin-george-hewett-jordan-dawson-dylan-stephens-sam-reid-oliver-florent/news-story/7f68306285abf2094dfe495e0e39aff5

Tell him to ask Tim Lamb if we're planning to trade into the draft!

Know much about Rachele? Seems like a good type to potential pair with Kozzie.

Mac Andrew's seems to be a consensus top 10 pick for many other mock drafts too, for what it's worth.

I stand corrected

T Mac is on the flight

Something interesting that doesn't seem to get touched on too much is Richmond's midfield during their premiership run. If you put Dusty to the side it isn't overly daunting on paper. Although clearly it functions incredibly well as the results would show.

Yeah it's a real issue. Wonder if they'd consider moving Brayshaw back to being the third mid and playing Jordon on the wing. Bit grim when Viney and Harmes play poorly in a training drill vs GCS.
