Your mate Loinchops urging the Dogs to not push Smith to PSD and just take a deal

So therefore we must not listen to him.

Bizarrely 24 hours earlier he was not that adamant... bloody odd.

I suspect that JJ extending his contract so soon after reports of us waiting until later in the trade period means that we've agreed to a deal in principal for one of Macrae or Daniel.

I thought it was more likely to be Daniel than Macrae but I think the Macrae deal is more likely to get done.
If we can't pull the trigger on JJ do we heave the heart to do it on Daniel?

GWS to make a call on Stringer today.

Dare I say it, I like this piece of business by GWS.

How fortunate are Richmond that clubs outside of the top 8 want their players its usually the other way round. It's going to be a fair draft hand I just wonder if you would want to push some into the future than going all in on one draft crop.

Has there ever been a club pull off a mega draft like that in one hit? I know a lot of the comparisons are early GC and GWS, who both royally stuffed their development in the early years.

Fremantle in 2021 went with 2 firsts and the opening selection of the 2nd round, and ended up with Amiss, Erasmus and Johnson (one great pick and two questionable ones).

Essendon in 2020 entered the draft with 3 single digit picks, and ended up with Cox, Perkins and Reid (3 potential duds there).

Gold Coast had the 3 early picks in 2018, and are now salary dumping Lukosius and lost Rankine interstate (though King looks like a huge hit).

I'd be surprised if Richmond go all in on this year's draft. I can understand wanting maybe 4 top 25 picks, but all this talk of ending up with 6-7 top 25/30 picks is just crazy to me. Their development is going to come at the expense of one another. It seems far better to stagger those picks between two draft years, which also leaves them open to making moves at the trade table in 2025 if they see faster than expected improvement next year

Why not? They're good enough that they don't need Stringer to be one of their bests, but they could really benefit from his ability to do #juststringerthings on the field.

The media will go wild with the inspirational comeback stories of dickheads Stringer, Hogan and Greene all in one forward line!
