Richmond’s current draft hand
1, 10, 11, 18, 20, 24, 51, 61, 70, 76.
They also are expected to get pick six for Daniel Rioli later today.
That’s how you start a rebuild
An aside to the Botlon deal
Fremantle sliding to pick 14 means if Bo Allan is still on the board West Coast at pick 12 are now front runners to land him.
A reminder of the embargo
To build tension in the final day of AFL trading the AFL has an embargo on all trades until 2pm AEDT/ 11am AWST so no deals can officially be done until then
Fremantle’s big offer for Bolton.
Multiple outlets are reporting Fremantle has finalised its deal with Richmond.
Fremantle will offer picks 10, 11 and 18 and in return Richmond will give up Bolton, pick 14 and a future third.
So the Dockers slide back four spots but still have a first-round draft pick while they get Bolton.
Dockers closes in on Bolton
It looks like Fremantle have budged on Richmond’s demands offering picks 10 and 11 for Shai Bolton in addition with other picks being swapped.
It’s a massive price but Freo feel they have enough young talent and need ready-made talent rather than hitting the draft
