Jimmy BartelHOST
I just like the way he plays.
Jimmy BartelHOST
He's got that burst away from stoppage and clearance and I like Arki Butler, of course.
Jimmy BartelHOST
Again, seeing him, he's a match winner.
Jimmy BartelHOST
He's got a bit of that fire in his belly to share as the modern front half player.
Rhy GieschenGUEST
We're just going to bring in the guy that we think will be the best player for Richmond long-term.
Riley BeveridgeHOST
Is it fair to say that the group involves the likes of Ethan Trever, Gus Teixeira, Arki Butler, Harry Van Haddam, Heath Melody? Is that the five at the moment?
Rhy GieschenGUEST
Yeah, they're the names.
Rhy GieschenGUEST
They're the sort of names that they're looking at.
BriffHOST
It'll probably be pick six with a slide and everything else.
BriffHOST
We'll get a good player at pick five or six, right? Could be a Gus Teixeira, Arki Butler might fall away, or even a Van Hattem, this Ruckman they're talking about as well.
BriffHOST
A good player is going to fall away at pick five or pick six.
BriffHOST
That's no problem, right? But then there's a lot of key defenders in these drafts.
Ben WaterworthGUEST
Can't rule out the likes, though, of Harry Van Haddam, the Ruck, Heath Melody, a very well-rounded prospect out of WA, a midfielder, defensive kind of prospect.
Ben WaterworthGUEST
Then two guys out of the Sandingham Dragons, Arki Butler and Gus Deshira, who are forward midfielders, different kinds of forward midfielders, but around the same height.
Ben WaterworthGUEST
I would say the Bombers' decision is down to five, but rival clubs at the moment and people in the industry that I speak to I'll lean towards the Bombers thinking Ethan Draven might be their guy.
Adam WhiteHOST
Okay, it's an interesting one, Ben, and I think it's a really good point you make about if Essendon was to bid on Cody Walker or Dougie Cochran, they get that bonus selection essentially, which will end up being somewhere in the early 20s.

Josh KemptonHOST
They do have that pick three, of course, and as you reported earlier in the year, they're going to potentially look to use that on a forward half player.
Josh KemptonHOST
The guys I probably have my eye on there are Arki Butler and Gus Tashira, two Victorians, and I think they'd be pretty good additions.
Josh KemptonHOST
But would you be looking to use a pick that early on a small forward? We saw Hawthorne do it to great success with Nick Watson a few years ago, but for what's essentially not quite a cream on top player, but someone who might not drive success in that same manner as a great midfielder or a great key position player.
Josh KemptonHOST
Do you think that's too early to do that?
Matthew LloydGUEST
Yeah, there's two of them that are in that range.
Matthew LloydGUEST
One's a boy by the name of Arki Butler.
Matthew LloydGUEST
Brighton? Brighton Grammar, who ripped our hearts out.
Matthew LloydGUEST
He's got a bit of – people are liking him to Toby Green, but I'm talking you can kick him from the fence a bit like Wizard Watson and that type of – Toby Green is how people describe him.
