Tuesday's Mid-Season Draft was dominated by mature-agers, with 11 players from the VFL, seven from the SANFL and just one from the Talent League selected.
As expected, most clubs targeted list needs after Essendon used their Pick 1 on the player consensually viewed as the best player in the crop.
Six key-position players were picked up, including four rucks, with former Sydney player Hugo Hall-Kahan the only formerly listed player to get a second chance.
A total of 12 clubs participated, with GWS, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Fremantle, Sydney Swans and Geelong not taking a player.
Below is a club-by-club grading.
Richmond (Kye Annand)
Grade: A-
Not until just a couple of days out from the Mid-Season Draft were Richmond first linked to their sole selection, Kye Annand, but it is a sensible selection. Adding defensive depth with Nathan Broad in his last year as a Tiger and Nick Vlastuin ageing makes sense, with Ben Miller the only key defender in between that pair and the young brigade.
It also makes sense when looking at their injury list, giving them cover in the short term.
The Tigers only lose marks because there was a school of thought from many that it would be sensible for them to take a second selection due to their injury crisis, and put either Campbell Gray or Josh Smillie on ice - though, admittedly, that would have created a list squeeze later in the year.
