Richmond
Draft Picks: 2, 5, 44, 76
Notable Club-Tied Prospects: Tanner Armstrong (NGA)
Latest Whispers: It goes without saying Richmond controls the first night of the AFL Draft given their two top five selections. At this stage, it is hard to gauge what they will do as they are keeping their cards close to their chest. The knee-jerk reaction is that they will select Arki Butler with Pick 2 to add front half firepower, and then select one of Mitch Harris, Gus Teixeira or Harry Van Hattum at Pick 5, likely one of the former two. They are then expected to have a selection at the start of night two which they are likely to use on a small forward, with George Dimer and Harvie Cooke linked to the club. If Van Hattum goes to the Tigers, that could entice them to pair him with close mate Cooke. There has also been whispers they could use a back-end selection on a rebounding half-back with Sam Devers and Darcy Szerszyn among the names linked.
