After we came out and said that we would be active traders the rumour mill seems to have gone into overdrive: this is the latest summary of players being linked to us on forums, by rumour mongers, by supposed insiders etc etc.
Travis Boak: Port Adelaide- Very Good Player In my Opinion but its doubtful hes coming our way. Id reckon GC is where he will go if he leaves Port. We would have to cough up 4 which I doubt we would do. Even a swap of picks would be doubtful.
Patrick Veszpremi: Sydney- Rated him as a junior but done nothing at Sydney. Seems to be wallowing in the Sydney 2s somewhere in the NSWSL. Do we really need another forward pocket? Wouldnt want to pay more than a 3rd rounder for him at this stage.
Chris Knights: Adelaide- Very good player, a classy player, big in size and would add to the midfield, can also kick a nice goal, wont be cheap- Do we need another of his type? Seems abit injury prone at the minute as well.
Patrick Dangerfield: Adelaide- Star in the making. Would almost finish our midfield mix. Sadly its probably a 1 in 100 chance only.
Jack Trengrove : Port Adelaide- could become a very good player in time. I actually liked his game against us. Tough kid who goes hard at the footy. Key Position or Ruck, not sure but his name has come up at Bigfooty.
Mitch Brown: West Coast Eagles- Brown another big KPP. Has talent but had knee issues in the past. Cant see where hed fit in- maybe CHB at RFC, he to has been mentioned.
Addem Maric: Melbourne- Forward pocket player, was good in the TAC Cup but for mine, we dont need this type of player now.
Thats it for now.
Ashley Smith: West Coast Eagles
Tom Collier: Brisbane
Basher Houli: Essendon
Nathan Djekurra: Geelong
Jared Brennan: Brisbane

And supposedly Morton is on the outs. ::)

On Travis Boak. Last week I saw him do some classy things, but if you look around the Port forums there seems to be quite a few knocks on his disposal. Looking at his stats he gets a lot of contested posession, but his disposal efficiency is in the low 60s (ignoring the 38% from yesterday in the mud). I meant to keep an eye on him yesterday but to be honest I concentrated more on our blokes and didn't even notice him.
Not too sure what to make of him.
And supposedly Morton is on the outs. ::)
If your going by that claim on BF about him being told he is not a required player Id take that with a grain of salt.
I could not imagine that being said to him at this stage of the year.
Thats not to say he wont be on the outer come seasons end if he doesnt get his act together though.
-
Chris Knights would be a good MCG player in my opinion. Would add class and another goalkicking mid/hff into the ranks. Wouldnt say no to Knights coming to Richmond especially if he gets over his injury concerns.
-
i think there has been talk of us being interested in patrick vespremi from sydney.
-
Would love Boak but he'll go to GC
Would consider Veszpremi but it would want to be for very little in return, perhaps trade Sydney a player and get Vez & a pick in return perhaps
Knights is a good player, but I dunno, he's not one I'd actively chase. Just one of the Crowbot 6ft blonde midfielders, would rather chase someone better in the draft. Depends what he'd cost us I guess.
-
I have heard Patrick Dangerfield from Adelaide wants to come back home to Victoria. :thumbsup
Could be someone we may look into.

Alot of the attention was based on his 5 goal game in the SA Showdown b/c unless Port play your team you don't pay much attention to their other games outside of the Showdown in case we see a bit of biff.
The rumours started not long after that match in round 6. ALl of us were seduced by that 5 goal effort and the fact he is originally a Victorian kid.

Patrick Dangerfield would go to the top of this list if he was available. Will be a sensational player.

Dangerfield is the only one. The rest are a waste and/or too expensive on the open market.
Listening to Roo on the radio he said in Adelaide they are calling for Danger to play in the midfield next season
He will be a gun love the way he goes about it

Pretty sure Dangerfiled signed a contract extension at the end of last season tying him to Adel until the end of 2011
-

i dont get the love of morton have been saying since we got him that he was soft poor attitude and lacked a motor.
to me its pettifer all over. unless mitch can find a defensive side to his game find a work ethic from somewhere and get his head out of his arse he will be gonski.
yep he has some talent but really rfc supporters rag him up.
-
Do rate Dangerfield very highly,and has massive upside if he can get his body right. An A-class midfielder that can have a genuine impact if swung forward are gems.
Would hope that Andy Collins may model his game on Roo like P.D, however Andy is currently C-Class with this kind of midfield/goalkicking potential.

A couple of new names added today Trengove from Port and Brown from the Eagles.

Got these from BF, a guy says he knows someone from the Tigers. His claim to fame is that he called the Farmer to Richmond trade on Sept 22 and got it right.
He says we're looking at:
Boak (PRT)
Trengove (PRT)
Knights (ADL)
M. Brown (WCE)
Maric (MEL)
Vezsepremi (SYD)
Edit: Ramps, you have most of these on the front page. The only new one is Addam Maric from the Demons.

thats what this thread is for, I will add Maric as well to the original post - anyone with rumours just put them in this thread so we can keep tabs.

Jackson was keen on Mitch Brown back in 2006.

Not sure I would be wanting to give too much up if anything at all to secure any of those players on that list so far. Certainly wouldn't be giving up any early round draft picks!!
-
Id like us to target a classy KPD only from another club. There arent many available though. Otherwise just stick to the draft!
-
Boak (PRT) - tick but Port would want a first rounder for him. Do they still want Jordie? ;D
Trengove (PRT) - pass
Knights (ADL) - pass. A dodgy kick for mine.
M. Brown (WCE) - pass
Maric (MEL) - pass
Vezsepremi (SYD) - pass
Stick to the draft Dimma! :thumbsup

Knights a Dodgy kick...... NFI
Trengove....... a second year player with a massive future
Maric...... as a good a ruckman as anyone at our club
M. Brown....... another very good kid that all teams in the AFL would love on ther list
Vezsepremi....... not sure but from all reports could be very good.

You devalued your opinion by saying this.
My opinions:
Boak - If we can get in PSD, sure.
Trengove - Yes please. Worth our 2nd rounder easily.
Knights - Yes.
Maric - No
M. Brown - No
Vezsepremi - If we can get him cheap, sure.

Maric from Melbourne isn't a ruckman big tone, you're thinking of Adelaide's Maric.
You need to watch more footy :whistle :rollin
-
Unless we can get any of these guys in the PSD why would we waste any pick? Our track record with trades has been terrible at best and we are rebuilding so why would we want to top up?
Perplexing

I think apart from Vezsepremi, they're out of contract and a) not getting a game; or b) wanting to move back to their home state.
This doesn't leave their current team much bargaining power, we might be able to get them cheap or do a player for player trade.
-
With gold coast effectively having first pick on any uncontracted players the chances of getting any decent player in the PSD are slim

Our current batch of recruits seem an inspired collection of educated choices from a much better team of recuiters. Would you prefer to give them licence to pick another group of youngsters, hopefully equally as capable, or trade away some of these picks who could turn out to be better than the traded player?
Hard decision as it means you have to use educated guesses. Drafting is more long term unless the traded players is around the 20 mark in age.
The whole McMahon/Thomspon/Hislop thing has me spooked :-\

Given what we got from last years draft I would be happy to just dip into the draft pool again, for sure. Not too sure how my post gave an impression otherwise. All I was pointing out that we are unlikely to pull a quality existing player through the PSD

Knights at times can get plenty of the ball but IMO his kicking is too hit and miss. Reminds me of a smaller Jacko. As the Crows would want a first round pick in return for Knights then pass. There are better options in the National draft.
Addam Maric is a small forward 178cm, 77kg. We have more than enough of his type.
http://www.melbournefc.com.au/players/playerprofile/addammaric/tabid/8357/playerid/18361/category/senior/season/2010/selected/bio/default.aspx (http://www.melbournefc.com.au/players/playerprofile/addammaric/tabid/8357/playerid/18361/category/senior/season/2010/selected/bio/default.aspx)
I wouldn't touch either of the Brown brothers with a ten foot pole. Another who can't kick reliably.
Vezsepremi is a fringe player at the Swans. Sorry we've been down that pathway many times before overrating and drafting other clubs' retreds. He's also only 181cm tall (under 6ft) so again not the type we need. We shouldn't be recruiting anyone under 185cm this year IMO.
-
This isnt a rumour - just running this for the fun of it... Phil Davis from Adelaide is a star in the making that kid. He is developing into a player who could be the premier key position defender in the game over the next 10 years. Was cleaning up Pavlich before he was knocked out in the Sandilands incident and shows poise beyond his years. I would trade out all 3 of ours for this player in a heartbeat. When he comes out of contract every single club will be after him, he will stay in Adelaide because they will pay him top dollar to stay, he will be a top player.

One of the reasons i don't read this forum as much as i used to is because of boring flogs like you. If your not repeating yourself you are giving nothing worth reading.
So just so i know is there anyone else on this forum i cannot disagree with?
And for the record i played over 200 games of senior footy, help out Jade at Coburg when i retired (so i'm pretty sure he thought i knew my fair share about footy) and watch as much footy as i can.

For all that you allege to have played and coached football, very little is written that supports that experience.
You can disagree all you want but to write that the administrator of the site doesn't watch football is just insulting.
You obviously don't read this forum because if you did, it would be obvious - even to you - how ridiculous that comment looks to anyone who read it.
If you can't handle being called out when behaving like a ignorant troll then go and peddle your tirades somewhere else - after all its a free country!

I'm sure if MT felt insulted he would have said so. As for you chimming in on his behalf it just shows me what type of person you are. I think the best word for you would be jellyfish.
If you want people to like you just be yourself, not a little suck trying to be liked by the administrators. It's a forum for f@#ks sake, you can be anyone you want on here.
Why not just give the readers YOUR opinion on the players mentioned rather than try and be a hero.
Or is it you that doesn't know anything about footy?

You say "you can be anyone you want on here" but then say "Why not just give the readers YOUR opinion".
How about you get a grip.

Enough with the personal insults and slanging matches ppl and stick to the topic! ::)

Yeah instead of insults why not stick to self inflating the ego

Was a #10 draft pick from memory so was always a decent change to be a top line player
No reason we can't draft someone of similar quality with future picks

I have a huge appendage with the whole Richmond theme song tattooed on it in size 24 Sans Serif script and I played 11.6 games for Richmond but someone woke me up and interrupted one of them which p!ssed me off coz I was beating Milnes head into one of the goal posts and raking my stops down his back and the umpires were looking the other way.
-
Rumour going around the net that Eagle Luke Shuey may want to return home to Victoria. He's had rotten luck with injury and glandular fever. He's apparently contracted for another year so a trade would need to be involved.

I know I'm still on a high after tonight's win but I don't think it will be too long before players from other clubs start wanting to come to us in the hope of playing finals in the next few years. Also with the way our boys are playing atm, I look at most of the out of contract players mentioned in this thread and go meh.
-
Nathan Djekurram from Geelong is supposedly on our radar. Dont know if its true, havent seen alot of him the last 2 or so years. As a junior he was highly regarded from memory and people have said we liked him back then.

Jackson definitely rated him highly and he's likely one of the players to make way at the end of the year given Geelong's strong list
Would not surprise me at all if he was at Punt Road next year, shouldn't cost us much either

As long as we dont go overboard on getting players from other clubs I will be happy. Djekurra from what I remember was considered a really strong medium type defender (half back) who could have a run in the midfield. I could accept 1 or 2 players like Djekurra coming to Richmond as long as they dont cost us much draft wise.

Maric played for the Demons on the weekend.
11 kicks, 5 handballs, 5 marks, 1 behind and 1 tackle.
I didn't see him, so not sure how he looked.

Dangerfield has re-signed with the Crows for another 2 years

Hutchy said tonight Travis Cloke has been asked by Collingwood to take a pay cut and a more performance based contract. Discussions have been held off until the end of the year. He was on $400k a year after his B&F year in 2007.
Also problems at Brisbane with salary cap pressures and Brennan and Rischitelli out of contract. Rischitelli still not over he was put up in that initial trade attempt to get Fev to Brisbane.

would be a total waste of a pick like that permanent seconds player that went to port A from geelong Davenport and has done didly sqwat...in fact davonport prob had more form...not sure Ive ever seen this kid in best at VFL level :-\
-
With all due respect I think Djekurra and Varcoe were virtually at the same level in circa 2007-08 and Varcoe has become a regular fixture whilst blokes like Hogan when Geelong have injuries and suspensions gets the gig ahead of him. Furthermore when Stokes was suspended for the first eight rounds he was still unable to break into the side. With blokes like Troy Taylor waiting in the wings at our club trading for blokes like Djekurra IMO would be an excess or whatever way he comes to the club. I would only look for him if he would cost us nothing. I think there are better players available who may be disgruntled at their clubs.
-
I've just been reading that Carlton will be after a tall defender.
With Judd getting on, the Blues will be looking to trade away picks so they can have a shot at glory before Judd is finished.
They might pay over the odds, like they did with McLean and Warnock, for a defender.
McGuane, Moore or Thursfield worth their first rounder?
-
McGuane, Moore or Thursfield worth their first rounder?
Nope. 2nd rounder if all our planets were aligned and then we got lucky.
-

Nope. 2nd rounder if all our planets were aligned and then we got lucky.
If Brock McLean a plodder of a midfielder is worth Pick 11 then we should be able to at least get a 1st rounder for one of them. Taller players are more valuable too.
Also take into account that a 1st round pick this year can be anything from Pick 4 all the way up to Pick 26

Nope. 2nd rounder if all our planets were aligned and then we got lucky.
If Brock McLean a plodder of a midfielder is worth Pick 11 then we should be able to at least get a 1st rounder for one of them. Taller players are more valuable too.
Also take into account that a 1st round pick this year can be anything from Pick 4 all the way up to Pick 26
Agree in part Infamy but Brock McLean had a far better reputation (deserved or not is not the issue) in the competition than any of our 3 defenders. Agree that tall players are more valuable but I just don't think any of them hold the currency to attract more than a 2nd round pick at best. Maybe the only way is if they are still contracted and we pick up part of the contract $$ value (as we probably have got room to move in that area) but on player value alone I can't see it at all.

That's what I was thinking, with Brock it seemed it was just 'bang, let's get him' here's pick 11.
If Carltons first pick is 16-20 then they might do it?
-
Hawthorn may want McGuane or Moore, Gold Coast may want McGuane, Carlton may want McGuane, Moore or Thursfield. So there is enough demand for us to get something decent.

How can you say "there is enough demand" when you base it on your own opinions of who might want what? I haven't seen or heard any of these clubs come out and say "we are chasing experienced tall defenders in the draft" so unless you have some inside goss Ramps......? Gold Coast have said they will be open to trade for the right experience but that hardly increases the demand for run of the mill, average height 'taller' backs from the 2nd bottom side.
For everyone talking up the currency of our 3 taller backs - Brisbane got Brent Staker for Bradd Dalziel and pick 39 last year and none of our 3 would carry the same price tag as Staker. Dalziell would have been 3rd round at best - more likely 4th or 5th so Staker would not have commanded more than a 2nd round on his own - and that was to a team who were paying over the odds for all their recruiting last year. Josh Gibson and pick 69 went for picks 25 and 41 and he is another player who would easily command a higher price than any of our 3. I just can't see any team giving us any better than a mid 2nd round pick at best for any of the 3.
-
Not really sure how Josh Gibson would have been worth much more than any of our defenders. He's not that good, Hawks were scraping the bottom of the barrel chasing him to be their #1 key defender. Don't get me wrong, I don't think he's that bad a player, but look how much some of our supporters go on about our kpp defenders not being tall enough when Gibson is only 189cm.

A comparison of Gibson at draft time last year and our guys currently:
Gibson - 189cm 92kgs, 4 seasons, 67 games, 14.3 disposals, 3.7 marks, 2.2 tackles, 4 BM votes (all in his last season).
McGuane - 191cm 86kgs, 5 seasons, 70 games, 12.1 disposals, 4.7 marks, 2 tackles, 0 BM votes.
Moore - 190cm 84kgs, 7 seasons, 81 games, 11.9 disposals, 4.7 marks, 1.9 tackles, 0 BM votes.
Thursfield - 191cm 85kgs, 6 seasons, 9 disposals, 3 marks, 1.3 tackles, 0 BM votes.
So if we compare what was on the table with Gibson when he was traded to what is on offer with our guys then Gibson was bodily stronger and had superior stats over a shorter career time in a better team - McGuane is the only one that really comes close and he is probably the worst performed of the 3 this year. That would suggest to me that Gibson was certainly worth the equal or better of any of our guys and if him and pick 69 was worth 25 and 41 then the most we could possibly hope for (not withstanding a brain fart of 'Raines' proportions) from another club would be low 30's and upwards. Just my opinion (and like you Infamy, I don't rate Gibson that highly either - he's just an honest foot soldier).

sheesh hawthorn have birchall a running tall at 193/94. gibson 189/92. gilham 192/92. schoenmakers 193/86 stratton 189/84 all better options than the glass half fulls we would offer up. they also have jordan lisle at 196/92 who could possibly play both ends of the ground.
the one they have not replaced even though hes still on their list is trent croad who at 100kg was very much the one who went to the power forwards.

We've been linked to Quinten Lynch :help
------------------------------------------------
THE fall-out from West Coast's horrible season could begin with the trade of out-of-contract premiership forward Quinten Lynch.
The Eagles are yet to talk to Lynch's manager Colin Young about a new deal amid interest from at least two Melbourne-based clubs.
Carlton could do with a goalkicking key forward while Richmond is in need of some ruck help.

NO!
Too old in any case for us but the game has gone past big lugs with the turning circle of the Queen Mary who are just a mark and kick full forward.

This was posted on BF a few days ago so take it for what it's worth....
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=18610192&postcount=515
Seeing we are talking trading. Let met share a little info. Believe me or not, i dont care. This is not a rumour only a fact that very few are privy to. So please dont ask for specific names as this is the 1st and only time i will mention it pre-draft/trade week.
We are currently talking to 4 ( 1-22yo,1-23yo,2-24yo) very good / possibly elite trade targets Also it might be worth mentioning a sleeper ala James Hird we will be collecting come draft day. Not saying he is of the sam mould as Jimmy, just that he is being kept hush hush like he was. Im sure you will understand why there are no names.
To anyone from any other club, Get Stuffed, that is all,.

From BF
I can confirm that Richmond are officially in talks with Ashley Smith's (WCE) management... and are also sounding out Tom Collier (Bris) both are managed by the same firm.
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=18713437&postcount=646
and from the same guy, but on the Carlton board...
I've got a non-Carlton rumour ...
Ashley Smith (WCE) will probably end up at Richmond.
Richmond also looking into Tom Collier (Brisbane).
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=18713679&postcount=708
Just to take myself up on what I posted earlier - a few 'in the know' posters have informed me that Smith has made a commitment to sign a 2 year deal with WCE.
So while Richmond may be in talks with his management, at this stage, I'll bow down to their judgement and suggest that he'll be staying with WCE.
Two very good sources .. both with contrasting views ... who to beleive ?!

You would hope it's for a late pick at the most. No trading our early to mid range picks for recycled players.
As far as a swap, ignoring Cuz, Polak and Morton who West Coast wouldn't want, the only ex-WAs on our list are Rance, Gourdis and Gilligan.
-
Smith could nominate for the PSD. Will only be West Coast ahead of us, and they're highly unlikely to redraft him if he requests to leave. Gives us some good leverage on the trade table.

Except GC has the first 10? picks in PSD

I dont think GC do have the first 10 picks in the PSD. What they do have is the ability to sign uncontracted players before they even nominate for the PSD

Correct, they have the right to pre-list up to 10 players who have been at an AFL club or previously nominated for a draft.
That's above and beyond the 16 uncontracted but still listed players like Bock.
The bolded bit above may be a really nasty bit when looking at VFL players like Barlow for example.

Then it's not a pipe dream :D
Can't see it happening though, not many kids leave finals teams to the 15th placed side, and there's no go home factor involved either. I can't think of any good young prospects that have done that recently if ever? Dogs would put up a massive fight, too much crack being smoked on this one i reckon. Take a massive effort to get the kid across and I'd rather put those efforts into Scully next year just to pee off Melbourne supporters if nothing else.

Thought I would check it out since we were discussing it:
For this season he is averaging 24.5 disposals (12.5 kicks, 12 handballs) @ 71.3% effective, 56.2% effective clearances, 4.9 kicks to advantage, 1.1 kicks direct to an opponent, 1.8 skill errors, 1.7 critical errors. If you give me the names of a couple of similar players I will do a comparison and we can see how he stacks up.
-
What's similar? Scott Thompson, James Kelly, Dan Jackson? I dunno.
-
What's similar? Scott Thompson, James Kelly, Dan Jackson? I dunno.
Yeah, I wasn't sure who would be similar so here's those you mentioned:
Michael Rischitelli - 24.5 disposals (12.5 kicks, 12 handballs) @ 71.3% effective, 56.2% effective clearances, 4.9 kicks to advantage, 1.1 kicks direct to an opponent, 1.8 skill errors, 1.7 critical errors.
Scott Thompson - 25.5 disposals (13.4 kicks, 12.1 handballs) @ 72.2% effective, 61.6% effective clearances, 4.6 kicks to advantage, 1.0 kicks direct to an opponent, 2.0 skill errors, 1.7 critical errors.
James Kelly - 24.5 disposals (11.6 kicks, 12.9 handballs) @ 78.1% effective, 70.9% effective clearances, 5.7 kicks to advantage, 1.3 kicks direct to an opponent, 2.1 skill errors, 2.3 critical errors.
Dan Jackson - 25.5 disposals (13.4 kicks, 12.1 handballs) @ 66.3% effective, 55.1% effective clearances, 2.9 kicks to advantage, 1.3 kicks direct to an opponent, 2.2 skill errors, 2.4 critical errors.
James Kelly stand out in that group - would think that Rischitelli is no better or worse than average on those figures - anyone else got a name of a similar player we can compare him too?

Hhhmmm, given that I rate Cooney, he's a Brownlow Medallist and All Australian, I have to say that my original perception of Rischitelli as poor by disposal might be a bit off the mark. He stacks up better than I thought he might.

Some on the Adelaide BigFooty board thinks he is worth our first rounder!! :o
Others are saying Edwards + 6 for Knights + 12. :o :o
I'd keep Edwards and our first rounder. I haven't seen Knights play for about 18 months.
i would swap Edwards for Knights!

Why?

Edwards is a gun in the making. If you cant see that you've been consumed with eating your own dookie for 20 years.

GG Torch has a magic power that manifests itself in no matter how well Edward plays to Torch he is worse than the pubic lice in Jordies mo

magic happens

The Crows may have more to spend should Chris Knights return home to Melbourne. Essendon and Richmond are among those interested in him.
Western Bulldog midfielder Ryan Griffin remains one of the prized out-of-contract signatures, with Essendon and Adelaide among several clubs hoping to snare him.

D.Commetti mentioned Bruce Monteath's son Kym had been playing good WAFL footy during the call yesterday.
Should get a look if Webberley was looked at.

Sounds like he has a good attitude, at the very least the club should get him down during the rookie tryouts. Just turned 23 years old. Brahz i'm if this is in the wrong thread.

When he was 16 y.o. playing junior footy there was talk of Kym becoming a possible Father-Son pick (I don't think he satisfied the critera in the end anyway) but by the year he was eligible to be drafted playing for the East Freo colts he dropped to be a possible rookie chance at best and in the end no one picked him up. I can't remember the knock on him. Perhaps he was a bit slow? Played half-forward then. He still won the East Freo Colts B&F that year. Kym played in the same age group as Josh Kennedy and Paddy Ryder.

BLUES MAKE TRADE MOVE
Brett Ratten said yesterday the club would be ''active'' in trying to recruit, revealing a tall back was the key priority.
The talk was Sam Jacobs was the ruckman most likely to be traded, but his exceptional performance on Sunday clouds the picture.

Port Adelaide is most likely to be involved during the trade week on two fronts - seeking a move to WA for troubled forward Daniel Motlop for family reasons (his son Jesse lives there with his mother) and finding a return to Melbourne for Steven Salopek if they cannot convince him to stay.

I woldnt trade Thirsty or Moore becuase i like them ... Ranc or Mcguane :)

Between Carlton, Hawthorn and the GC we should be able to offload one if not two surplus KPDs. I'd happily trade Thursty &/or McGerk for the right price. Pump games into Astbury, Gourdis, Rance & Grimey.

keep Rance

Rumour going around saying David Myers and Leroy Jetta want out at Essendon.

More likely to be more appealing to older players who only have a short window of opportunity. "Young guns" (in the very unlikely event they become available) are more likely to resonate with their immediate peers so clubs like us and Melbourne would be more appealing to them.

I don't profess to know much about him or have an opinion one way or the other. I watched him in an Essendon game recently and he played very well but you have to wonder why he has only played 26 games in 4 seasons at a middle of the road club. For info, he are his 2010 average stats (5 games):
21.6 disposals (9.4k 11.8h), 4.8 marks, 4.0 tackles, 0.4 goals, 0.4 behinds, 0.6 clearances, 2.4 inside 50's, 7.6 contested possessions, 4.6 1%ers, 5.2 kicks to advantage, 0.2 kicks to opponent, 0.8 critical errors, 66.7% effective clearances, 80.2% effective disposals.

an astutue judge could argue that if the dogs cant challenge now then they NEVER will...when they exit in straight sets, just how close do you think they are to a flag, a stuffen mile Id say...with a fair swag of their better players approaching the twilight...dont expect them to get better in a hurry, all down hill from here..
any of the genuine clubs that GF aspirations siomply have NO room in the cap to attract players , so removethem from calcs...we are in the frame BIG time should we be interested in anyone, :whistle
-
would take Nathan and Basha :thumbsup
Agree... for a change
Certainly wouldn't want to give up too much for them though
-
but really is there anyone out there there would make an instant difference to our team?wouldnt it be better to go with the youngsters and maybe experience another year of pain.
-
would take Nathan and Basha :thumbsup

Dont forget what Port used to get Rodan..

Jones can play.

Jones ---> Shane Edwards
Houli ---> PSD

Nathan Jones - terrific young player in my mind. Genuine hard nut who can play a fair bit. Catchya later Hislop and Thomson.
-
would take Nathan and Basha :thumbsup
Would take Houli - I think he has a lot of upside, doesn't take a backward step and a solid body for a 22 y.o.
Don't think he was given much of go by Knighta - would have a poor game and they'd drop him a flash - others at the Bumbling Bombers would play consistently bad for weeks on end and they wouldn't get dropped
Added to that i think he would suit Dimma's game style ;D
As for Nathan Jones - Demons would want far too much for him IMO - they'd be after a first rounder for him

The bulldogs was a bad example champ. Everyone is pretty confident that their premiership window is closed and that they are on the way down. As opposed to us who appear to be on the way up. We are in a similar situation to Carlton when they picked up Judd. We are attractive, we have cash, exciting young players, amazing supporters!! Who wouldn't want to be part of this club???
-
If u were a gun player would u rather go with a side that came 15th or a team that has finished in the top four? dude use logic
Bulldogs have 12 players on their list over 28 years of age this year, these players will all be gone in the next few years, including a few gone this year
They have some good kids coming through, but not enough to cover those departures, if you were a gun player moving clubs, you'd want to go to one who looks to be on the way up, not on the way down

Here's some logic for you then.... Footscray ( or whatever they're called these days ) are a tragic club with a tragic history and are destined to never play in another GF let alone win one. They will always have their hand out to the AFL for cash , have half the support base we have. They change their name , their jumper , their home ground every other year and then on the other hand you have....THE MIGHTY TIGES !!

Reckon the Tigers will have a good look at Fev ?? Will cost us nothing and we all know he can play !!
Newy will be all over this !!
Also, Jacobs & 36 to Crows - Thursfield to Carlton plus pick 29 - Knights to Tigers
Also, Brennan to Tigers for McGuane & late pick
We get Fev (mid range pick), Brennan & Knights and keep 6 (Gaff/Atley or Darling)

A Pies supporter posted it in the Fev thread on the main BF board:
Just spoke with my dad who is at the club right now. He says the people there believe the offence is serious and he will be sacked.
Also said that the very strong word around the club is Brennan is going to Tigers.

Im not overly impressed by the names we are hearing at this stage of the proceedings. Today its Brennan, Houli, etc. Fev is a Massive NO.

ABSOLUTELY.
For the first time in a long time, we can walk into Trade Week and say "No, we're pretty happy with what we've got thanks. Not really interested in any players from elsewhere".
Strong negotiating position.

if only his of feild was better then we could get him and take so much pressure of Jack .. thats what type of player we need some one to do that and of feild hooligan .. i agree Griff is really tall but he dosent look tha threatening when it comes to goals

DOn't we already have the current Coleman Medallist.
When Brennan comes to Richmond that easily wake me up pmac. Surely it aint that simple. If only.

Would take Houli - I think he has a lot of upside, doesn't take a backward step and a solid body for a 22 y.o.
Don't think he was given much of go by Knighta - would have a poor game and they'd drop him a flash - others at the Bumbling Bombers would play consistently bad for weeks on end and they wouldn't get dropped
Added to that i think he would suit Dimma's game style ;D
I agree 100% with this. He is also a beautiful kick. I work in the area and saw a few training sessions earlier in the season, he trained flawlessly, I couldn't believe he wasn't getting a game.
-
Absolutely no reason why we would ever consider Fevola
Brennan maybe but it depends on what it would take to get him

Yeah it keeps exploding out of his pants. In all honesty, I reckon the bloke is bipolar. He goes on manic benders, throws his cash away, is allegedly overtly sexual in innapropriate ways (not aggressive like a rapist though). These are all classic symptoms, I poo you not. He strikes me as a genuine case for lithium treatment.
-
Absolutely no reason why we would ever consider Fevola

Why not ?
My Opinion
Powerful KPP like Fevola can play for another 4 years like Allistar Lynch did well into his 30's. Dont write this over-cocky guy off, his a goal machine when fit.
Fev had the op that was the key to his poor 2010 & his personal issues his always had anyway & always will. His got no conscious, so nothing bothers him what people say about him. Jail is the only way to shatter people like him & that is 50/50
l would take that dopey prick into the club if he was going to do his job in kicking bags of goals.
Rewoldts form & flexablity around ground level would be great around him. Griffiths at CHF now thats a very strong forward line & goals.
Collins & Kingy + another scrounging the packs & the likes of Martin, Cotchin, Foley, Tuck, Deledio, Newman, Tambling, Jackson,& whoever else l missed sending the ball in, OMFG goals galore with options at pick a player & other clubs not being able to know who is the target.
Fevola is a fast lead & mark player nothing like Rewoldt who likes to fly from behind. & having 3 powerful forwards or even a backup to the younger 2 we got his worth a gamble.

Would rather Tony Lockett asleep in a hammock in the forward pocket than big Fev

Further proof that you are a complete fool
Fevola is a complete liability. His body is already failing him at 30 and you think he can play until he's 34?

Nothing personal but our team is very young and a bloke like Fev would hinder their development with his off field demeanour. Cuz and Fev are two different examples lets not go there. Furthermore Fev in the fwd line would hinder the future development of Jack. Let's leave it alone more bad than good.
As for Brennan coming to RFC would love it but it being that simple is a dream. Brisbane if they sack Fev have room in their salary cap and will either ask for huge sums for Brennan or Drummond or any other of their players or will be able to have negotiating power to keep a disgruntled player who is demanding more money.
I also agree with Infamy he is starting to get injured now and he is 29. At 33 or 34 he will be washed up playing in Division 2 of some suburban league.

Wont get him cheap but he's affordable provided Cameron doesn't overpay. He's certainly not out of reach.

I'd yhink about going after mackie of Geelong

DOnt forget we dont have Richo and cuzy ( also other over paid players) so we could defianatly spend some moolar on high pricey players !! i liek The geelong fella good duo him and jack ! and brennan to!

So give me the goss guys, has any player really been linked for sure or are we in the speculative stage again??
-
OUT-OF-FAVOUR Geelong forward Ryan Gamble is likely to be among a host of trade targets in coming weeks with the Cats yet to lock in the young goalkicker.
Young midfielder/forward Nathan Djerrkura has already indicated he is on the lookout for another opportunity after struggling to break into Geelong’s star-studded side.
http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/102303/default.aspx
How old is Djerrkura? Was fairly highly rated as a junior. Not being able to crack the cats lineup is nothing to be ashamd of. Hope we give him a look.
(I do recall us taking Morrion and Weller using the same reasoning though...)
-
Further proof that you are a complete fool
Fevola is a complete liability. His body is already failing him at 30 and you think he can play until he's 34?
your a doctor today wanker
-
Leave out the namecalling ppl!
Anyway here's another rumour from BF (Lions supporter) linking us to Brad Miller:
Just thought I would let you folks know of the rumors flying round up here - Word has it Brad Miller has had discussions with the Tigers and GC. I was suprised to hear you guys interested in a 27 year old, I would of brushed it aside as b.s but the bloke I heard it from is very closely associated with Brad.
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=18992739&postcount=322
-
That rumour would not surprise me in the least if it were true..
-
Well lets hope its not true, I dont think Brad Miller will add any value to our club at all. But the one bloke fro the Dee's I would love is Jones, always liked the guy and love the way he goes about it. Midfield or forward flank, he goes hard.
-
I hope it's a fairly quite trade week for us as far as chasing players from other clubs. The names being mentioned are hardly going to make much of a difference if any to our side. Even Brennan with his freakish skills reputation couldn't even make the top 10 of Brisbane's B&F. Brennan's too old now for us anyway given we're at least 3 years off finals footy. He'll turn 27 next year.
I'd be hoping more we'll be trading players AWAY for more draft picks.

I guess having Craig Cameron on board will link us to a lot of Demon players.
No to Miller!

From BF:
Bachar Houli to the Tigers
A bomber friend of mine texted me last night to say he heard from the horses mouth that he wants out of Essendon and is headed to the Tigers. Not sure about what we'd send the other way, but make of that what you will.
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=18994825&postcount=1
Just spoke to a family member of Bachar's who confirmed this. Not sure what we're giving up for him, but my source said the trade was done if both parties agree on the tiger's end.

Houli is crap ! Why would we go after that dud ? Thought Dimma said no more shortcuts ?

Djerrkura:

So he'd be 22 which fits into our philosophy. 176cm is pretty small though - not necessarily a bad thing if he has other qualities that make up for it but we have plenty that size
-
Houli is crap ! Why would we go after that dud ? Thought Dimma said no more shortcuts ?
we're getting Fev too, Houli is going to turn him musi and get him off the drink, i think we're getting Choc Mundine too ;)
-
would cry if brad miller was at tigerland
has a fit misses but still rubbish. would rather patrick bowden forward pocket.
-
SO MUCH FOR NOT TAKING SHORT CUTS. ALL THIS STUFF IS CRAP! And if we get any of these blokes the club should get rid of the list manager IMHO.
-
Brad Miller ;D He'd probably be our best defender if he was here :lol
Haven't seen much of Houli. The only time I saw him this year he was very good.
-

You wonder how much some of those commenting on him have actually seen. There seems to be a lot of people say he's no good, but not too many reasons put forward for this line of thinking.
-
Haven't seen much of Houli. The only time I saw him this year he was very good.
He did play pretty well that night. It was his first recall for a while but I put a big red line through his name after seeing him the following week. Absolutely terrible , not up to it and was rightly dropped again straight away.
I believe we're a better team atm than Essendon so why go after blokes who can't get a game for an inferior team ?
-
prefer draft picks than trades. Essendon have recruited very poorly in recent times. Don't want any of their players. Don't want Miller.

Port have been a better team than us for years but they picked up Sarge and D Rod who were struggling with us. They happen to be good players now. I'm not advocating picking up Houli, but maybe the guy hasn't been treated fairly at Essendon and has been poorly developed? Don't know much about him so I'm happy to wait and see what happens.
-
Schulz is not a good player now.
He may turn out that way but not yet after just half a season
-
Fair call, Chuck. I'd say that he's well on his to being a good player after getting a lot of games at Full Forward in the 2nd half the year and ripping apart a few matches. 35 goals in 16 games is a decent effort.
-
Schulz will be taken over by John Butcher next season.
-
Back problems = bad news.
If he overcomes that and makes the grade it will be a huge effort.
-
Use the draft picks for kids trade players for draft picks that is what I want.
-
Schulz will be taken over by John Butcher next season.
Butcher has been playing SANFL twos all year. Still has a while to go before he comes their #1 forward you'd think.
-
Have to agree with TB actually, in all honesty will there be any players worth trading picks for with the GC taking the best available? I think this year is the year to get as many picks as we can. Last year was the year to get some experience to the club IMO and we didn't. Picks and more picks is the go.
-

Yep, have to agree- this upcoming draft is said to be a very good one- lets participate as fully as we can!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wasn't aware it is a very good draft, so even more the reason then, like you said, to participate as fully as we can.

Would have no problem with getting Houli if he came for cheap
Remember he was only ever coached by Knights and showed plenty of talent in his first year
-

This is true, Fev has lodged an application to be known as Mohammed Fevola.

If Andrew mackie is geelongs 23rd player i'd like to see a rfc chase him

The last thing we need is more 192cm defenders, especially one who is 27 next year. What's the point of that?
Geelong would be very smart to try trading a player of value like Mackie to a team that is chasing a defender to push for a premiership, and there are a few of those around (read Hawks, Blues & Pies)
They would easily get a first round pick for him and it would help them bring in some more high quality juniors to assist with the pending rebuild as their stars start aging. Would be very intelligent list management if they do it. In fact if they were to trade him to a team like Collingwood which has a crap 1st rounder they could probably ask for either a 1st & 2nd rounder or a 1st rounder and a young player.
-

Mackie = STAR and these guys you mention, could all learn alot off him. Plays small, plays tall and rebounds as good as anyone in the game. And his kicking is exquisite.
Love the way he plays the game.....

Over the past few weeks there has been a lot of movement surrounding the Adelaide Crows with players leaving the club with rumors circling that Chris Knights is the next one to go.
On Channel 9's The Footy Show, Chris Knights was the topic of conversation with speculation that he will be joining a Melbourne based team. Is it true? Is he on his way to Vic? Chris Knights answers the rumors

heres a few good reasons why champ.
Houli yet to cement a senior spot in a team which are pathetic.
Houli 180 cms!!! Wow we are so light on for those type of players now arent we
Give me a stuffin spell to any of you who think we need a player like Hoili as opposed to selecting another kid.
we should've learnt after Hislop and Thomson. No more leftover duds please
-
Gee Daniel, with such an insightful appraisal of players surely there is a job awaiting you as a an AFL recruiter.
I must have read dozens of comments, here and elsewhere statinging he is no good and we dont want him at Richmond, but except for one tiger head, the only people to actually give anything resembling an assessment of Houli as a player have been bummer people.
-
i agree with Daniel. Say No to Houli!
-
It would be nice to have a Knights at the tigers again.
-
i agree with Daniel. Say No to Houli!
Convince me ramps. I've only seen him play once or twice so my mind is open.
-
I dont think anybody is opposed to having Knights playing for the tiges.
The real question is, what would we be prepared to give up for him?
Pick 6?
Maguane/Thursty + our second rounder?
Im unsure.
-
Give up Nahas for Knights, and a very late pick, that would get him, don't think we need to give much up at all, with all the trades goiung on and GC taking everyone teams are just going to have to take what they can get in return. Do we still have pick 2 in the PSD for players that are delisted or want another crack, if so we could get him there too.
-
for us to get a quality player in PSD ,there most likely needs to be two quality players in it. Hopefully west coast can convince someoene who wants to go home to WA to nominate, then we would have a great bargaining chip

its a deep draft or you dont you pay attention. Whilst our picks wont be as high as previous years lets just stick with he process shall we.
short cuts have got this football club nowhere so lets recruit wisely and search far and wide like Freo with Barlow not washed up hacks like Houli

Washed up hack? He was only drafted in 2006
His 2nd & 3rd seasons were pretty good, he gets a lot of the ball and lays plenty of tackles too
I'd hardly call one down season this year when Knights wouldn't play him as a true sign of his value
I'm not saying we should chase him or sell the farm in a trade for him, but he's proved he can cut it at the top level, he just hasn't shown consistency yet.
Calling him a washed up hack is pure falacy
-
Knights would be a massive pick up for any team. Has a nice blend of class and power. He can play forward or midfield, has kicked a bag before and loves to run, carry and bomb from outisde 50. Very damaging forward of the centre.
Knights' stats for 2009 season are most impressive. He has only managed 5 games this season. Knights (23yo) has had hamstring trouble. He kicked quite a few bags of goals in '09.
However he reinvented himself as a HF and was sensational with his 55m bomb goals. Kicking it long does not constitute a silky kick. He's field kicking is pretty poor and was taken out of the midfield rotation because of it.
The only two worries would be the asking price and his hamstrings.
The question to ask is would a (fit) Knights on our list makes us a better team?. Knights is possibly someone we should consider.

Houli <-> Polo, McMahon, Nahas
Maybe for Post + their 2nd Rounder.
Wouldn't trade anything else, we're happy where we are going.
-
Rumour has it that Richmond has offered Houli $250k pa to be an outside player.
Rumour also has it that a bonus of $100k will be paid if he plays 22 games.
Rumour also has it that Houli is not a happy chappie at Essington.
Rumour also has it that Houli is keen to take it.
Rumour also has it that he will not go interstate for family reasons.
Rumour also has it that Richardson is in direct contact with Houli and doing his best to keep him at Windy Hill.
Warning... warning.... this is just a rumour.

If we could trade Polo to the Dons for him and manufacture a pick. Remember Polo was best afield against the Dons in his first game so maybe there may be someone there who still remembers it.

-
Names mentioned in today's Age as could be changing clubs....
Chris Tarrant - Carlton and Hawthorn head the list of interested clubs. Could still retire also.
David Mundy - understood to be high on the Gold Coast's wish-list. Essendon also interested.
Antoni Grover - may be targetted by Carlton or Hawthorn if either misses out on Tarrant.
Andrew Krakouer - Collingwood has emerged as a potential home.
Setanta O'hAilpin - may have played his last game with the Blues, with the Irish forward keen to explore his options during trade week.
Bret Thornton - could also be on the move.
Matt Rosa - could also be returning to Melbourne.
http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/several-key-players-yet-to-commit-to-dockers-20100911-1562v.html
-
Chris Tarrant - No. Too old for us, not reliable enough, won't suit our direction.
David Mundy - Yes. As long as it doesn't involve pick #6. He is young enough, good enough and we have plenty of salary cap room.
Antoni Grover - No. Too old for us and won't be of any benefit.
Andrew Krakouer - No. Too old for us and jury is still out if he can cut it at the top level.
Setanta O'hAilpin - No. A thousand times no. Not good enough to justify wasting a draft pick or money on.
Bret Thornton - No. Puts himself out there each time a contract renewal comes up and won't fit in with Hardwick's 'rebuild with youth' ethos.
Matt Rosa - Meh. Maybe if he came cheaply enough (meaning very late or no draft pick).
-

Yeah I like that too, allways had time for Houli and was very surprised didn't see more of him this year. Maybe a combinatation of things but this is the type of player you could see a change of scenery has a bigh impact.
Just have to add an extra room the the indigenous centre for a temple and bobs your uncle. ;D
-
I wanted Mundy last year but apparently people thought we had too many Mundy type players in the team... apparently!! We should have pushed for him last year as we could have got him cheaper. He will cost us too much this time so really unless we can swap Polo and Nahas for him IMO he wont be woth it.
-
Mundy had a really good season this year and Polo played a handful of games WAT. Don't think Freo would fall for that if anything they'll be looking to a Hawthorn or Carlton looking to give away their first round pick as they are of the belief that their premiership window is either open or will close in the next 2 seasons and topping up is the way to go. Hawks topped up ith Gibson and Burgoyne last year and it looks they are going that way again now that they have signed some of their stars on long term contracts.
-
the only player who I would like to see get traded to Richmond from all those named is Josh Toy from the GC Suns. Thats it! If we cant get him which is extremely doubtful, then we should just stick with our picks and take kids in the draft,
-
Chris Tarrant has confirmed he is leaving Freo in order to return to Melbourne.

Can I ask how according to the Age this morning the Pies can be allowed to trade for and put Tarrant on their veteran list (and have only half his salary going towards their salary cap) because he previously played 9 years with the Pies before being offloaded because they didn't want him ::). Surely the veteran rule was meant to encourage loyalty via 10 consecutive years with the same club? It'll be a rort of the veteran system IMO :banghead.

C'mon MT you should be used to it by now, I try and figure out how the Blues and Pies can afford the players they get each year........ give it up, the AFL have. They just keep getting these players under their salary cap????

I would suggest if Rance was to go back to WA and Freo, then it would be for your 1st pick which is equievilent to 2nd round in other years or if the rumours are correct Mundy wants to come back to Vic and Richmond according to Brad hardie is already done, we have the room in the salary cap and Rance of late rumoured to be a player that will beused as trade bait. Mundy was also linked to Richmond last year as well.

I'm surprised he lasted there as long as he did. They had a tv crew at his house on the day of the draft and it was very subdued when he was picked by West Coast.
Would suggest that LeCras' form has him looking elsewhere

Do you even watch the news? Tarrant has already said publically that he's leaving. All reports are Mundy is pretty much gone too.

I would take Mundy for Rance in a heartbeat, really let himself down this year IMO Rance. Would also take McKinley for Morton or Edwards (yes he had a good year but his currency has also improved).

Mundy for Rance yes, but no way on that McKinley deal we would be getting massively screwed if we traded Morton (why would he go back to WCE anyway) or Edwards (winner of most improved at the club). McKinley had a great 2008 but has been on the decline since.

I think McKinley would go better in a better side, I believe we have a better side than the Eagles, better supply of the football into the forward line. Morton wouldn't have to go back to the Eagles, he could end up at another club via a three way deal. Did Morton really impress this year? Didn't he only play the last couple of games decently? Fair enough on Edwards.
-
Morton gunned it in the games that he played towards the end of the year. Fremantle would never do Mundy for Rance. That's ridiculous.

FREMANTLE is confident it has done enough to persuade star midfielder David Mundy to re-sign with the AFL club.
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/dockers-to-repel-david-mundys-suitors/story-e6frf9jf-1225921284222
Several Essendon players -- including Brent Stanton, Leroy Jetta, David Myers and Alwyn Davey -- remain unsigned.
Bachar Houli's future at Essendon remains unclear. He is one of several players who feel their careers stagnated under former coach Matthew Knights.
Adelaide forward Chris Knights remains out of contract, with several clubs looking for an attacking goal-kicking midfielder, but he is likely to stay at the Crows.
Brisbane Lions may get a second-round draft pick for Justin Sherman.

yeah his built him self into a mid fielder went alright in the couple of game at the end of the season the real test will come next year

Need to take his whole season in context WAT. Looked ordinary very early and went back to Coburg for an extended spell where he didn't appear to be setting the world on fire. Most thought that his papers had been stamped under Hardwick but what wasn't known until his recall later in the season was that Morton had asked Hardwick for a crack at a midfield role and was subsequently being taught that role at Coburg. Bit of learning curve for him, especially on the defensive aspects Hardwick wants, but to his credit he learned them and when he got his chance he really took it. He was very impressive in the midfield when he returned and I would have strong doubts that he would be considered trade bait unless his name came up in 'the deal of the century'.
-
Trading Morton :lol
He will have a fantastic season next year.
-
Would not be trading two of our more skilled players for fringe WCE players. Have you been living underground or something WAT?
McKinley worth 3rd rounder at best.
Mundy would be a huge upgrade on Tuck.
-
Mundy is a gun.
To secure him for Rance would be the trade coup of the century, but it ain't gonna happen.
Big no to trading Eddy or Morts. Strong seasons ahead for this duo.
-
maybe danog can verify this
but i heard mundy and lids are good mates, hope mundy tell freo he wants to come to us or he is leaving
would be a shame we lose him to the GC limp
-
Mundy is overated. Good solid player, his reputation is currently inflated and anyone getting him now would be paying overs for him. Pass
-
Mundy won't go... freo are pretty confidant they will get Tarrant aswell
Do you even watch the news? Tarrant has already said publically that he's leaving. All reports are Mundy is pretty much gone too.
haha no i live in sydney man we dont get constant footy news back to front in a news papers and shows
AN freo says the will try there best too keep him on there website so i asume mundy won't go

Richmond - Tigers are eying youth and may consider offloading Richard Tambling for draft picks as they look to the future. Tom Lynch of the Saints appears to be a target for the Tigers who have (from my source) stepped up it's pursue for his services this week.

Yep no worries Smokey, thats why I asked the question, I din't realise thats what had happened with him, well lets hope he works out next year then. Isn't it funny though, that is was he was recruited for in the first place and thats why he left the Eagles, to get more of a run in the midfield.

Just did a search on saints forums, theyre not very happy with his performance I must say. Doesnt seem to have done anything in 2 years and in senior football he seems to have disappointed the saints fans.

So we're going to trade for KPF Tom Lynch of the Saints and also draft another KPF Tom Lynch of the Stingrays at pick #6.
Ok. ::)

Height 192cm
Weight 85kg
DOB 15-09-1990
Debut 2010
Games 1 .... (R18 2010 vs Essendon - 2 kicks, 3 hbs)
Draft history: 2008 NAB AFL Draft 1st round selection (St Kilda) No. 13 overall.
Video of Lynch in action:
http://bigpondvideo.com/AFL/89562 (http://bigpondvideo.com/AFL/89562)
Bio:
A hard-leading forward, who is a fierce competitor, fearless and football smart. Co-captained Vic Metro in the 2008 NAB AFL Under-18 Championships, finishing second in his team for marks and goals. Quick with excellent endurance for his size (191cm), he has the versatility to be play on the backline or in the midfield.
Jason McCartney says: I think Lynchy had an outstanding year from where he was coming from. He had an ACL the year before and his preparation was unbelievable throughout his time at the Academy, with a real attention to detail with his training.
I thought it might have been good to let him play at centre half-back and just let him play his way into some form, but he played at half-forward and did very well. When he does play down back I thought he read the play very well and he was good with his hands and had the ability to cut across in front of traffic. I could see him fitting in as a third forward type, but with his endurance he could even play through the middle.

There's a different Tom Lynch available in this years draft. 196cm KPF. Are you sure we're not considering him for pick 6?

Yeah we give the ainters our duds we don't pick up theirs

I still find it hard to believe though that we stand up say how we are going to be very much involved with the trade week and then out of every player that has been available so far, none have even been linked to us. How the hell does that work?? I would just like someone to be linked to us...hehehe.. :lol

David Mundy counts down to big call
Jon Ralph
Herald Sun
September 15, 2010
IN-demand Fremantle midfielder David Mundy is set to decide his future next week after travelling to Melbourne for the Brownlow on Monday.
Mundy is pondering three options, all of them lucrative - stay in Fremantle, accept the cashed-up Gold Coast's offer, or return to Victoria.
He has just finished a two-year deal believed to be worth $550,000 a season, but Melbourne clubs with salary cap room are confident of winning his services.
A raft of Melbourne clubs have inquired about his services, but the Seymour boy is yet to sit down with suitors.
Essendon is leading the charge, but Richmond and Melbourne are believed to be among interested parties.
It is believed most Victorian clubs have been keen to find out what it would take to get the 25-year-old, who is one of Fremantle's likely top Brownlow Medal pollers.
He conceded two years ago after re-signing at Fremantle the pull of Victoria was strong.
"It was just the family side of things that was concerning me. I felt like I was missing out a little bit on family life, so I just wanted to spend a bit more time at home, spending more time around my sisters, mum and dad."

Brennan has left Brisbane as well. Gold Coast are interested but they can't get him as an uncontracted player as they've already signed Rischitelli from the Lions. GC will need to trade for Brennan like everyone else.

What about David Hale?
-
PORT Adelaide may have secured its coach for 2010 but is still trying to finalise the futures of Daniel Motlop and Steven Salopek.
The pair has flagged an interest in leaving the club, with the Power hoping they decide to stay on under new coach Matthew Primus.
http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/102667/default.aspx
ADELAIDE recruiting manager Matt Rendell has confirmed the club is targeting Carlton pair Andrew Walker and Sam Jacobs ahead of next month's AFL exchange period.
Rendell revealed the Crows had also put in calls to Matthew Pavlich (Fremantle), Ryan Griffen (Western Bulldogs), Shannon Hurn (West Coast) and Beau Waters (West Coast) - all South Australians - but none were willing or able to leave their current clubs.
The Crows and Power have also been monitoring another budding ruckman in Sturt's Jonathan Giles.
Giles spent four years at Port Adelaide but failed to play an AFL game and was delisted at the end of last season.
The 22-year-old has since switched from SANFL powerhouse Central District to become one of the premier ruckmen in that competition.

Brennan should have come to the club last year, he would be welcome still but not for draft picks, swap Polo, Nahas..etc.
-
When media outlets come up with articles in May that we will be active at trade time whether it be true or not all uncontracted players, unless they are on their way to the Suns there will be rumours based on those articles that they are coming to us.
What about David Hale?
No chance. We discussed this last year and it would be a waste. Bloke has no impact on games. Struggling at North and is not worth it when we have our own key forwards and ruck in Jack, Griff, Post, Vickery, Graham, Browne. Would be against the philosophy of Hardwick and would be a waste of a draft pick. WOuld not even trade for a player for player swap with Hale.
A strong rumor is that Brennan to Richmond with GC trying to put a spanner in the works.
Would cost too much and does not fit the age bracket we are looking at IMHO.

Isn't he only 26?? Wouldn't really think that age was too far out of our bracket. Don't think he will cost that much either, I mean if they tried to play hard ball too much he could go through to the PSD (out of contract players and recycled players) and we could pick him up there with our second pick.
-

Voss is stupid, but not that stupid.
Polo and Nahas have no value.
Tambling for Brennan maybe???
-
We all know that once an out of contract player names the club of his choice he usually ends up there. The biggest high profile player that did not go to the club of his choice was Nick Stevens... I think. That was many many years ago.
If Brennan names Richmond we will not have to give up much IMO, if Voss isn't that stupid why did he get Raines... and for 3 years!!

Heard on the news over here tonight that Essendon, Carlton and the Tigers were ready to throw a lot of money at Mundy... Carlton has now been linked to recruiting every player in the leauge... have to love the salary cap.... ??? ???
-
Read on Y&B that Whispers on 3AW tonight said Houli for either Thursty or McGuane :-\.
-
If Mundy is uncontracted, can he go into the Pre-Season Draft?
Don't we have Pick No.2?
Houli for Thursfield or McGuane?
Question is do we want to let either one of them go?
Isn't McGuane under contract?
Essendon can have McMahon, Polo, Edwards, Hislop, Thomson for Houli :thumbsup

sounds like a bad deal to me :(
-

Well lets just hope thats a rumor IMO, we need the backline we have surely, who would fill those gaps of either Thursty or McGuane?? What has Houli done other than "have potential"???

I think he is 27 actually but I just feel he is not the right fit for what Dimma is trying to create. Just an opinion. I think that by the time we will be ready to challenge he may be 30 and in the twilight of his career and unless we pick him up for zilch in the PSD if Gold Coast don't get to him first I would not want to fork out much for him in terms of trading. Would rather go down the drafting kids path again this season.
Furthermore I feel that he is injury prone and prone to on field brain fades. The gap between his best and worst is poles apart. In my honest opinion to me he will be better suited to a side that is mid range and higher rather than a developing side like our own.

i agree with this, rate him but not the right fit to be chasing hard. if he comes cheap or free (which wont hppen) then yeah.

Agree with the on field brain fades but IMO, I feel thats because he hasn't really wanted to be there (Lions) for the past 2 years. You have to admit when he is on..geez. I also believe Fev squeezed him out this year, he had more freedom in the forwrd line last year. I think he would be a great fit across the wing/half forward flank for us, maybe even out of defence.
But I wouldn't want to give up too much for him, I won't lose sleep either way with the choice the club make.

Read on Y&B that Whispers on 3AW tonight said Houli for either Thursty or McGuane :-\.
Would want a decent pick to go with it
Essendon can have McMahon, Polo, Edwards, Hislop, Thomson for Houli :thumbsup
Edwards is by far the odd man out there, what on earth are you doing offering him up for Houli?

Yep, realistically would want a second rounder for Thursty or McGuane in realistic terms maybe even a first rounder depending on when in the trade period this gets brought up and what Essendon have to offer.
Edwards is not going nowhere. Different player from the one we saw in previous seasons. Much improved.

This from DeepThroat007 on BF:
David Mundy had been offered 750k in a front ended contract by us, 3 years in total, adding up to 1.6mil, he wants to be back in victoria and Essendon have offerred him 600k for his first year then his total being around the same figure 1.5 to 1.6 mil, its up to which club can satisfy freo the best.
Rance has Been thrown up expect a 3 way deal to be involved which ever club is involved.
Hawthorn has enquired on Rance again,
Tambling has been seriously courted by the lions Jade Rawliings absolutely loves him, Sherman has been mentioned as well as there 2nd pick weather its both or either i dont know.
MacGuane has been courted by the Suns and a pick from 15 or less has been mentioned,
Polo has been sought out by sydney dont expect much in return.
also expect us to be seriously trading for picks in the top 20 and we are going all out for west coasts pick 4, a big name player has been offerred. Jack delideo cotch and martin are the only untouchables.
pick 6 will not be traded under any circumstances and until 2 weeks ago had Heppel done and dusted, quietly rejoicing believing they got away with picking a future superstar, now its apparent he wont even get past pick 5, Francis Jackson has been tabbing him for 3 years.
Chris Knights almost signed aheads of agreement with us, still trying but looks very unlikely now.
We have our sights on drafting a darkhorse late in the Draft, we have kept him hidden.

Hardwick always rated him very highly during his time at Hawthorn, and has been monitoring his progress this season at Box Hill/Box Hill 2's.
Dowler will walk away from Hawthorn at years end, due to being out of contract. You'll get him for chips, either via trade or PSD. Feel free to bookmark this, I'm not wrong.
Let me just say I've always rated him pretty highly myself, and I think Hawthorn have done him pretty harsh this year. Kicked 4 goals in a half against Essendon in Round 22 last season.
Will be a very good player for Richmond.

Read on Y&B that Whispers on 3AW tonight said Houli for either Thursty or McGuane :-\.
sounds like a bad deal to me :(
Aint going to happen. Houli on min payments. Luke is still contracted for another 2 years at $450K a year, AINT GOING TO HAPPEN

This from DeepThroat007 on BF:
David Mundy had been offered 750k in a front ended contract by us, 3 years in total, adding up to 1.6mil, he wants to be back in victoria and Essendon have offerred him 600k for his first year then his total being around the same figure 1.5 to 1.6 mil, its up to which club can satisfy freo the best.
Rance has Been thrown up expect a 3 way deal to be involved which ever club is involved.
Hawthorn has enquired on Rance again,
Tambling has been seriously courted by the lions Jade Rawliings absolutely loves him, Sherman has been mentioned as well as there 2nd pick weather its both or either i dont know.
MacGuane has been courted by the Suns and a pick from 15 or less has been mentioned,
Polo has been sought out by sydney dont expect much in return.
also expect us to be seriously trading for picks in the top 20 and we are going all out for west coasts pick 4, a big name player has been offerred. Jack delideo cotch and martin are the only untouchables.
pick 6 will not be traded under any circumstances and until 2 weeks ago had Heppel done and dusted, quietly rejoicing believing they got away with picking a future superstar, now its apparent he wont even get past pick 5, Francis Jackson has been tabbing him for 3 years.
Chris Knights almost signed aheads of agreement with us, still trying but looks very unlikely now.
We have our sights on drafting a darkhorse late in the Draft, we have kept him hidden.

pee foley off
if sydney want polo we should keep him, they only go after players that can play

Hes a good player but if we miss I wont be losing any sleep!
Rance has Been thrown up expect a 3 way deal to be involved which ever club is involved.
This is good
Hawthorn has enquired on Rance again,
I dont care who takes him if he leaves and we do a good deal its a bonus
Tambling has been seriously courted by the lions Jade Rawliings absolutely loves him, Sherman has been mentioned as well as there 2nd pick weather its both or either i dont know.
a player and a pick is a good deal, the question is is Sherman right player for us!
MacGuane has been courted by the Suns and a pick from 15 or less has been mentioned,
Id take 15 in a heartbeat or 19 & 21 anyway McGuane leaving is good for us salary cap wise and helps us list wise
Polo has been sought out by sydney dont expect much in return.
Has been around a long time and done nothing for us - a pick around 50 would suffice
also expect us to be seriously trading for picks in the top 20 and we are going all out for west coasts pick 4, a big name player has been offerred. Jack delideo cotch and martin are the only untouchables.
This is real good news
pick 6 will not be traded under any circumstances and until 2 weeks ago had Heppel done and dusted, quietly rejoicing believing they got away with picking a future superstar, now its apparent he wont even get past pick 5, Francis Jackson has been tabbing him for 3 years.
keeping pick 6 is great news, pity about Heppel maybe he makes it through 6 maybe we get 4 and get him and someone else as well.
Chris Knights almost signed aheads of agreement with us, still trying but looks very unlikely now.
see Mundy
We have our sights on drafting a darkhorse late in the Draft, we have kept him hidden.

someone with a fertile imagination.
-
Absolutely no way should we go after Sherman. Up and down player and a average player at best.
Polo, Mcguane, Tambling yes please take them all.
Mcguane would be a great fit for GC and a pick inside 20 for us. Lets do it make it happen
-
not keen on sherman at all, or houli for that matter
there is no way essendon will be trading for a KPD so forget about mcguane or thirsty going to windy hill
dont mind picking up dowler on the cheap, hardwick will have had a close look at him
-
Mundy trade. The real problem is what we give to Freo. Rance maybe?
Such a huge pay packet may help us short term but be a problem with our other players.
Rance trade. Don't really care, his athletic ability is on a par with Luke - too low.
Tambling to Lions.
Ask for one of the kids Rockliff, Redden or Banfield. All fit our criteria - age, ability, position.
Then try for Clark. Fits our criteria likwise. Very good year last year. May have been let down by Voss' coaching this year.
Then accept Sherman. Very similar to Clark in terms of form in '09 and output this year.
McGuane. A pick in the teens will help us get that extra gun midfielder but is Toy an option?
Polo. Obviously looking down the barrel of delisting. A trade to Sydney for Veszpremi may be the best we can get.
-
6PR (yeah I know) said this morning that Mundy is going home to Victoria. Essendon or Richmond the likely destinations.

that is the biggest load of cock-smoking l have ever read, Big Footy is full of dreamers
-
First of all, I would like to say how much I am enjoying reading about potential player trading and finally us looking like we are going to have a crack.
IMO we should only be targeting player from other clubs that would walk straight into our side. No Fringe/developing/project players. I think we would all agree we have plenty of those. Unless we could pick up, say a Houli for a pick 60ish or something like that then ok. But we need players to come in and play a part asap.
Now according to most and myself we desperately need an outside mid, Mundy fits that bill perfectly! He is young enough, would come straight in and play onball and has good skills. His asking price may be a bit over the top but with the loss of plenty of high paying players over the last couple of years, surely we have some spare cash. He is a must IMO.
Also our ruck stocks are fairly light on for talent at the moment so obtaining a quality ruckmen to come straight in and play a role would be fantastic for the club. Now if Brisbane are so into Richie, give them Richie and our second round pick (that we have already got from WCE for Rance or something to that effect) and get Mitch Clarke. They have Leunberger as there No.1 ruck, Charmen as a backup and a few good youngsters coming through. So getting somebody like Clark could happen if we try and make it.
Getting these two blokes to our club would be amazing and both are stars IMO. Now I’m not saying trade away all our picks but just remember if you want something good you have to give something good. Not sure what Mundy would cost us in terms of draft pick and or player but we as a club need to make things happen and go out on a limb. We may be sorry to see one of our favourite players leave (Moore, McGuane, and Thirsty) but I’m pretty sure we would all forget really quick if we were to make finals in the next year or two.
Other good trades for us would be- Mcguane to The Suns for pick 20ish
- Foley to anyone for a 10 to 20 pick
Bring on trade week, I have a good feeling that we will fair ok.....

Hes a good player but if we miss I wont be losing any sleep!
It's the cost in terms of picks that will be the deal breaker rather than $$$ you'd reckon. Freo will want at least a first rounde pick so pass.
Rance has Been thrown up expect a 3 way deal to be involved which ever club is involved.
This is good
Pick 6 to Freo
Foley or Jacko plus Rance to Eagles
Pick 4 and Mundy to Richmond
Nup can't see that happening. No way will the Eagles give up pick 4
Hawthorn has enquired on Rance again,
I dont care who takes him if he leaves and we do a good deal its a bonus
We'll take their pick 19 if it's on offer :yep
Tambling has been seriously courted by the lions Jade Rawliings absolutely loves him, Sherman has been mentioned as well as there 2nd pick weather its both or either i dont know.
a player and a pick is a good deal, the question is is Sherman right player for us!
Sherman = pass!
MacGuane has been courted by the Suns and a pick from 15 or less has been mentioned,
Id take 15 in a heartbeat or 19 & 21 anyway McGuane leaving is good for us salary cap wise and helps us list wise
Given we're paying the bare minimum 92.5% the salary cap is a non-issue for us. McGuane would be pushing us up to the required minimum in fact. I agree though Ramps I'd take pick 15 in a heartbeat as well.
Polo has been sought out by sydney dont expect much in return.
Has been around a long time and done nothing for us - a pick around 50 would suffice
We'll get nothing for him unless it's a swap for Houli :P. Deano will more likely to end up a rookie at another club at best.
also expect us to be seriously trading for picks in the top 20 and we are going all out for west coasts pick 4, a big name player has been offerred. Jack delideo cotch and martin are the only untouchables.
This is real good news
Foley or Jacko have been doing the rounds as the rumoured "big name". I still can't see any club let alone the Eagles give up their first rounder inside the top 10. The Hawks and Blues may give up theirs (picks 18/19) at best according to the papers.
pick 6 will not be traded under any circumstances and until 2 weeks ago had Heppel done and dusted, quietly rejoicing believing they got away with picking a future superstar, now its apparent he wont even get past pick 5, Francis Jackson has been tabbing him for 3 years.
keeping pick 6 is great news, pity about Heppel maybe he makes it through 6 maybe we get 4 and get him and someone else as well.
Keeping out first pick is a must.
We have our sights on drafting a darkhorse late in the Draft, we have kept him hidden.
Always good to see this- hopefully it works out
We hear this every year. I find it hard to believe players can be hidden these days given the recruiting resources of all the club. If we have someone "hidden" you'd expect it to be more like another Nason or Webberley type.
-
just highliting that my quotes are those in bold and not the rumours. havent actually followed the rumours closely this year.
-
Recruit like Geelong and Trade like them too, very little and only for the absolute NEEDS of the club like they did for Ottens.
We are so average all over the ground we have no particular holes, and as few strengths too, so its pointless to trade much.
We may get rid of a few average or poor players Tambo, Foley (remember he has a bad hip) but I hope we trade for picks and go young again. 8 kids at minimum.
-
Further to that Geelong have 3 players they recruited from AFL clubs, Ottens, Drum from Freo and Mooney from North Melbourne. That is the way to build a list. Recycled players generally don't make it so don't take them. Turn over those who don't make it and try new kids every year.
-
Hutchy tonight said the deadline is next week for Mundy making a final decision on what he wants to do. Gold Coast out of the frame. Victorian club leading Freo at this stage but Hutchy didn't mention which club that is.

looks that way
-
Reading the AFL website in the trade winds dept. it states that Richmond would only receive a pick around 40-50 for Tambling where they have Sherman & Houli going for 2nd round picks !!
If Richmond trade Tambling for anything above pick 25 I will go off !! He should be staying on the list anyway because I am convinced if he is traded that he will become a gun player and peak at 26 years of age...

I agree so why is the club wasting its time on bringing this type of player from other clubs? What happened to NO SHORT CUTS? Its rubbish management if its true.

I think before we start jumping up and down about trading away pick 29 perhaps we should wait & see if trade up in the selection order.
If and beleive me I aprreciate it is a BIG if ...but if we were to do some sort of deal that got us to a position of having a pick beofre 29 on top of the untouchable pick number 6 then we surely pick 29 for Justin Sherman is a good deal

I used to enjoy 'Pav for AA'. Loved his passionate hate of everything Yellow and Black. I used to rejoice in the knowledge that we must have really irritated him to get such an extreme reaction. Every time Mundy and RFC is mentioned I think of 'Pav for AA' :thumbsup

Richmond
* Up and about right now, doing all in its power to improve its list.
* Richard Tambling seems to be ready to go and the club is interested in getting Brisbane's Justin Sherman.
* Be interesting to see if one of their raft of key defenders like Will Thursfield goes if the club can get the right price.

The Tigers also have plenty of room in the salary cap which puts them in contention to make a play for out-of-contract Fremantle star David Mundy.

personally not sold on the Mundy Plan. :lol
-
Personally I know we have plenty of room in the salary cap but why waste it on a player in a trade who is still under contract at their original club or on a player who we are trading for.
I know we signed up some of our stars recently but we need to be more prudent with our money and more shrewd with who we trade for and select.
Mundy would ask too much $$$$$.
Is he worth more to us than a Martin or a Lids or a Cotch when these boys contracts are up, just because he is available right now.
We may lose the player but we do keep the pick so for me it is not a loss overall.
We are fighting our way out of debt, no more Ben Holland scenarios.
-
I know what you're saying Tucky and I don't necessarily disagree with what you're saying but the salary cap rules force 92.5% of the cap to be spent on the playing list so someone has to get it. With our retirements and higher paid delistings (Jordie) we have a $$$ available that need to be spent just to get us up to the 92.5% minimum. Do we give to a young player we have who doesn't really deserve big money yet or do we use it on adding a quality player from outside to our list? I guess it depends on the player. Mundy apparently wants $650k per year for 3 years :-\.
ps. It won't affect our debt btw. I'd doubt the club would be that stupid to be using the overdraft just to pay player salaries.
-
Mundy isn't under contract as far as I know
-
I understand that MT but Mundy has played 1 real good season and has been up and down. Is he worth $650 K a year? IMO no. But yep we have to pay 92.5% of the salary cap. Hence these football mercenaries make the most of it from footy clubs. Won't be disappointed to see him go to Essendon and bleed them dry a little more whilst we keep our draft picks.

I agree Mundy isn't worth that. I have always believed the 92.5% minimum hinders clubs like us where we are forced to pay our players more than they are worth collectively when we could easily get by with such a young list on say 80% of the cap. That archiac rule is just a lingering remnant of the AFL's old policy to kill off Fitzroy back in the mid 90s when they were trying to survive on small player payments that were below half the cap while getting flogged by 12 goals every week. The AFL didn't want an easybeat finishing on 0 wins in the comp.

Essendon is willing to offer Mundy a 4-year deal
From today's Weekend Australian.....
Fremantle midfielder David Mundy is seeking a $2 million deal over the next three years to remain with the Dockers.
The out-of-contract Mundy is not on the Gold Coast's radar, but is being vigorously chased by Essendon, which has plenty of room in its salary cap and is understood to be prepared to offer Mundy, 25, up to four years to relocate back to his native Victoria.
The Dockers yesterday expressed "supreme confidence" is retaining Mundy, but said they were not expecting a decision from him for a week or two.

id rather picks than sherman or houli

So if Essendon are chasing Mundy as hard as the journos are writing.
Who is the coach pushing for this ? Surely if there is trade talk flying around Windy Hill they must have some idea of where the game plan is heading. You dont just trade for a player and think about where he slots in after the fact. Do you ?
-
Just goes to show, Knights must of been coaching with his hands shackled behind his back over there while the faceless men pulled the strings lol
-
Gee I hope we trade for absolutely no one this year. And we get rid of players for draft picks.
There seems little point in bringing in players when we don't really have a core group of quality players already. We must build the core and that only comes from new kids and development programs.

Update;
i want to make one thing clear im only passing on what my source has said to me and things do change, but it seems most of it will come of like he mentioned in one form or another. Other forums think i have a fertile imagination but i re(s)pect the re(s)pect i have received off the tigers bf posters, the others i couldnt care about, believe me if you want and if you dont then i care if you dont.
after i posted this above info the other day, within 24 to 48 hrs certain things have come out, Knights has resigned for one, he kept raising his price and we just said no lets just concentrate on others like;
and i can tell you that we are cooling on Mundy now as there are other opportunities out there and he is more likely to go to Essendon for a player or players, Jetta and Myers have been mentioned as well as Hooker, if they trade hooker expect Macguane to be used for Houli and a high pick, Brisbane lions now head the race for LM and would need to use the Suns pick in return for Brennan, Sherman will used and we will be paying both of there salaries if it comes off that way. Sydney are also into macgaune and Vezpremi has been thrown up and are very keen on Polo u could expect a possible 3 way trade Houli to us, Polo to syd and a pick to Essendon.
Also the another senario is for Tambling, Sherman for Tambling and the suns pick for Brennan and we pay both salaries.
Tambling has beeen sought after by others we have not put him up and we hold great value with him, we will not trade him unless we recieve a top 20 pick, so the victorian Clubs that finished high will need to trade down there mid to low 20's and get into the late teens Pick. They have all enquired about him, including Carl and Hawthorn, Saints and Bulldogs are having a fair crack and are well ahead of the Bombers.
WE are desperate to get as many top 20 picks as we can and then really attack next year for a quality player or star.
We will be drafting Tom Lynch or Gorringe which ever is there hence why we are going after outside mids in trade because any chance of getting heppel or bennel will be gone and the quality of Key Talls that have upside and have match winning abaility will not be available later in the draft and will be impossible to get next year with GWS and the suns in the draft and if we rise up the ladder and bris falls then what hope do we have.

Interesting that in the Sherman thread another poster says they are friends with McGuane and they are having a good laugh about the story.
oh well they/he can laugh but 2 out the 3 players will traded Rance MacGaune and Thursfeild, Carlton, St,Kilda hawthorn freo west coast and Bris lions have all enquired about 1 or the other and are prepared to pay, Dont be surpirised if macgaune ends up at the lions ( he knows and has been told that he will be traded for right price), the high draft pick or young quality mid or ruck is the asking price. Rance will be shopped around hawthorn and freo want him, but dont expect a deal to be made until the end of trade time after the dust settles but only if its for our asking price not the rival clubs he will be retained other wise.
tarrents final detination will decide the 2 out of the 3 kpd final destinations and which club will want what. Tamblings trade will also dictate with which clubs can trade for our defenders as the high draft picks wont come from the same club.
Brown from west coast is a chance as we have enquired about his services as well, how serious that will turn out to be i dont know, he is contracted though, we would like to get a big bodied defender but that is rare.

We did!.. but the only way is UP i belive right now.. becuase how young is our side now? unless we can get a real good player that would help the club i say we should just recruit untill all the other clubs have wasted there money and we havent. this is teh first year of that uncontacted rule so lets not do it just becuase it is the new thing in play ground

In the age of footy forums, I can't see any footy club officials giving out such detailed information like that, and if they did, they'd soon be told to stop blabbing.

Sydney are also into macgaune and Vezpremi has been thrown up and are very keen on Polo u could expect a possible 3 way trade Houli to us, Polo to syd and a pick to Essendon.
Why do rumours always link us to Vezpremi who has done nothing since drafted. I've never seen the attraction in him from our supporters. As for that last trade Essendon come out massive winners - a freebie pick while the other two clubs get fringe players who spend most of their career at VFL level ::).
McGuane for Houli and a "high" pick. Only if it's the Bombers pick 8 then yes ;D
Brisbane would expect a top 15 pick for Brennan from the Gold Coast. So is this guy saying we get that pick for McGaune or Sherman instead? If it's the latter then pass. A key defender is worth more than am inconsistent midfielder. Also why would we be willing to pay both players salaries unless we were getting some too good to resist trade.
Also the another senario is for Tambling, Sherman for Tambling and the suns pick for Brennan and we pay both salaries.
Tambling has beeen sought after by others we have not put him up and we hold great value with him, we will not trade him unless we recieve a top 20 pick, so the victorian Clubs that finished high will need to trade down there mid to low 20's and get into the late teens Pick. They have all enquired about him, including Carl and Hawthorn, Saints and Bulldogs are having a fair crack and are well ahead of the Bombers.
Tambling for Sherman and a top 15 pick? That would be something we'd most likely say yes to. Those other clubs have picks 18+ so they would be out by this guy's own rumour.
WE are desperate to get as many top 20 picks as we can and then really attack next year for a quality player or star.
We could have had two more top 20 picks over the past 12 months for nothing if we had won just 3.5 games less ::).
We will be drafting Tom Lynch or Gorringe which ever is there hence why we are going after outside mids in trade because any chance of getting heppel or bennel will be gone and the quality of Key Talls that have upside and have match winning abaility will not be available later in the draft and will be impossible to get next year with GWS and the suns in the draft and if we rise up the ladder and bris falls then what hope do we have.
You should always go best available at your first pick. Also we traded for Jordie because of the argument players A and B wouldn't be around at our 2nd pick :P. We still need at add far more class via the draft to our midfield; not fringe players from other bottom clubs via dud trades. We still lack depth and class across every line.
oh well they/he can laugh but 2 out the 3 players will traded Rance MacGaune and Thursfeild, Carlton, St,Kilda hawthorn freo west coast and Bris lions have all enquired about 1 or the other and are prepared to pay, Dont be surpirised if macgaune ends up at the lions ( he knows and has been told that he will be traded for right price), the high draft pick or young quality mid or ruck is the asking price.

No probs with trading two of the 3 of them if it means more decent picks.
Brown from west coast is a chance as we have enquired about his services as well, how serious that will turn out to be i dont know, he is contracted though, we would like to get a big bodied defender but that is rare.

I have to ask the question as I maybe missing something that happened during the season but why are some people so into trading away our backline. I would have thought McGuane and Thursty were an important bart of our backline. Did another player pop up during the games I missed that could fill the void left by trading away two of our most experienced backmen?? Can we honestly afford to trade away 2 backmen and talls at that??

McGuane Thursty Moore Post Astubury Rance Post Grimes
Are you starting to get the picture
So Grimes will walk into the backline for the first game next year will he, he is fully developed like McGuane and Thursty is he?? Rance is apparently on the trade table, sorry I was unsure how Post went this year because I havent heard his name much so he really must of come on as he will be ready for the backline next year come round one.
If it was my post you are refering to then I suppose I don't get the picture. I was saying.......just read my post again please Chuck.

McGuane and Thursfield were quite disappointing this year WAT and Moore was only marginally better. Given we are rebuilding and turning over large numbers in our first couple of Hardwick years, either of the 3 are very tradeable and won't be missed - it will open the door for an Astbury, Gourdis, Grimes, Rance to develop and show if they have 'got it'.

Very good Smokey, thank you for that, do you think Rance will stay though?? Is Grimes and Gourdis ready to play round 1?
-
Rance ::)
-
Gourdis played the last 5 games WAT and he looked good I thought. Has pace but the thing that I feel lets him down is his kicking so he really needs to work on that. Grimes played the last game against Port and he played well but too early to tell on both players TBH. O'Reilly the Irish kid got a gig for the last four games and impressed me the most thought he broke the lines well and looked good. Disposal was okay too.
Personally I think we can lose one of either McGuane and Thursfield assuming the trade is right. We also have Astbury who has played backline also this year who showed nice glimpses. Yep I know what you are saying but Luke and Will despite their experience are disposable and in the current rebuilding environment they more than likely may not improve much more. While they may have some value it might be beneficial to see what they are worth to the market and what we can get for them.

We have too many of the same old school type of backmen when modern footy needs defenders to be rebounders with footy smart and good footskills as well as defensive spoilers. McGuane and Thursty don't provide us with rebounding drive from defence.

Rance will depend on if we get inquiries/interest from other clubs - he may have a little value and he may have a bit of improvement in him - all crystal ball stuff with Rance I'm afraid. Grimes is still very young and may spend a fair bit of the year at Coburg unless he comes on quicker than normal/expected. Gourdis most definitely can play Round 1 - it will all depend on his pre-season and whether he actually has the ability to step up. The main thing is that we move on either of McGuane or Thursfield to free up a spot that will allow us to view each contender over a number of games.

Thanks mate, yeah Rance is one I really believe could turn the corner. Like Tambling I wouldn't mind giving them one more year.
-
Rance wouldnt know to turn left or right, let alone a corner
-
Back to the original topic ... :P
It really dosent look liek Tigers are smart enough to get any good players by the look of it :rollin
-
For mine I'd be quite happy not to get anybody and if we do trade then it's players out in exchange for more picks and load up again in the draft with youth. Not an original idea either for the clubs that are rebuilding:
NORTH MELBOURNE
* Brad Scott says they will do very little at trade time, content to keep pumping games into their kids.
MELBOURNE
* Very similar to North Melbourne - feel getting experienced players in would only stifle the development of the kids.

Mundy's the only one I'd want if we got him relatively cheap. Sherman too if we got him very cheap.

according to others pick 30 from us to Brisbane for Sherman is the deal :help

We have pick 29 so it sounds like people who are saying that Ramps are making it up.
Not us but Brisbane is understood to be entertaining trading midfielder Daniel Rich to West Coast for the Eagles' No. 1 pick in the national draft - the No. 4 pick overall.

Richmond have entered into talks with Carlton about Jacobs/Grigg with Tambling being offered up.
Pick #19 in 2006 ... Grigg is a tallish midfielder/flanker ... nice left foot (can get some distance) ... good height 189 cms, he's played a few tagging roles this year.
His bad points are: bad decision making, and his disposal is pretty hit and miss at times (..ok most of the time).
He was handy for us later on in the year (improved out of sight and added to us on field!) .. but I get the feeling Ratten doesn't rate his attitude or his inconsistancy.
Rumoured to be fielding a nice offer from Richmond (according to Andrew Walker's dad).

We'll find out if there's any truth to them soon enough.

Mundy's the only one I'd want if we got him relatively cheap. Sherman too if we got him very cheap.
Would love to get Mundy to Tigerland. He would be perfect for our outside mid opening so i hope we pay what it takes to get him. Really great oppotunity to get a quality player to our club to play a roll straight away.
As i have said before, you need to give good (trade pick or player) to get good as this bloke is totally what this club needs.
Would you guys be comfortable giving Freeo say either McGaune, Moore, Rance or Thirsty and pick 29 for him?
As for Sherman, not to fussed, he is probably worth pick 29 in this draft and at least you know what you are going to get with him as opposed to a kid with that pick. Personally i would prefer to take a chance on a kid.

Players market. Can't blame him.

i dont believe half the bunkem coming out at the moment..these player managers are just trying to pump up the tyres of their assets....
our club ticked most of the boxes we wanted them to this year..so for the first time lets place some faith in what they're doing....Dimma has a plan,in that we must all believe in

Jusr on "One week at a time" - they are saying Mundy has signed a new deal with the Dockers - 4 years :gobdrop

I did start my post with the word "If" .... I'm for using our first 2 or 3 picks on kids in the draft. Ive also said that beyond that point that if Hardwick wants to trade in players then he should be allowed to do so.
that was all X.
-
Mundy is over rated.
In my opinion 2010 saw him go from being a "C" grader to a "B" grader.That is all.I wouldn't call him elite.
Reminds me of a "Ash Prescott" type...good second tier player but never the main attraction.

"B" graders should be reliable kicks Mr Magic but dont you think $600 000 a season is a bit rich for Mundy?

With a lot of players now becoming unavailable, will that boost the value of our guys like Tambling, McGuane...??

With a lot of players now becoming unavailable, will that boost the value of our guys like Tambling, McGuane...??
And we will get nothing in return as nothing is left, teams won't give up any decent picks........keep them both IMO.

Well teh trade weeks hasent actually started yet so we could get some suprise uncontracted players coming up but . most likely not but we can dream?
P.s dose the GC and GWS have a limit cause honestly i cant see them retaining there stars after a couple of years ::)

DeepThroat007's latest offering from BF:
if we can secure a Ruckman like Jacobs then you can basically count out Gorringe in the Draft, which means that Lynch will be secured as our 1st pick, but if Heppel slides to us at 6 then you can back in Luke Mitchell as our next pick hence why we are desperate to get picks inside the top 20, The suns are Keen on gaff big time and are torn on Gorringe Heppel and gaff with pick 5.
there's an issue at West Coast about drafting Victorian kids with pick 4, so dont be surprised if Gorringe is selected at 4 and Big Dean Cox ( have not heard this just my suspicion) is traded to the Suns if they can trade for Griffiths from the Crows. Dont be surprised if we trade up from pick 6 to pick 4 with Rance involved and a player back in return maybe Brown.
if we trade for Jacobs and get a CHF in the draft then our list management is shaping up, Houili had signed a heads of agreement with us and wants to come no matter who coaches Essendon, the Dons are dirty with us because we jumped all over him before they had a chance to offer him as a trade.
we are also keen on getting Sebastian Tape to in the Draft as well i'm a wrap for this kid so that made me a littlie when i heard that.
i can tell you other clubs are envious about the way we are going about this trade period, Sherman is 99.9% done for our 2nd pick he has also signed a heads of agreement and the lions are happy with that, 3 year deal for 300k a year.
Nahas will be traded or delisted and if no aother afl club drafts him then we will re rookie him as he is contracted to us for another year, expect a straight swap for stack maybe from the Dogs for him. Nahas could also be used to trade to the Suns for one of theer 10 picks for Jamie Lawton is one we want and they will pick for us and trade Polo could also be used this way.
Luke MacGuane is more likley to go by the day and Carlton looks more likely then not Thorton will be off to the Suns i believe but i dont no his Contract situation.
i have heard nothing on Dowler all i know we rated this kid the year he was drafted as the best big man in that draft then he had that accident.
I have also heard that we are also keen on another mid feilder but i cant say until i know more and confirm.
The more outside mids we trade for the more Key Position players and inside mids we draft on draft day, we are only expecting to use 4 or 5 pick at the most on draft day and that depends on high they are.

Rucks Mark Blake and Trent West are considering their futures at Geelong.
Nathan Jones and Cameron Bruce still unsigned by the Dees.
ESSENDON believes an upcoming coaching coup could see it secure all its wavering players. Brent Stanton, Bachar Houli, Leroy Jetta and Alwyn Davey are out of contract. The Bombers already have been in talks with Houli.

Jared Polec from Woodville-West Torrens is a 17 year old.
I actaully went last Sunday since I was in Adelaide and am a Eagles fan ...
I was impressed with Polec's long left foot kick and would of had five shots at goal running the lines hard.
At Half Time I went and got a record just to find out who this No.9 was? Looked young and was correct.
I would be happy if he pick him up with a later pick!
Tall wingman, but needs to weight on him.
Covers the ground well and is a top runner!
I just hope we do not trade our picks for players like Sherman for our 2nd Pick? Get Real!
If the Rance + Pick 6 to West Coast for Pick 4 is true ... take that and thank you West Coast and "Hello Andrew Gaff!!!"
If we trade Luke McGuane to Carlton/Gold Coast and get Picks between 15-20, that is a massive win!
We could use our five National Draft Picks on young cubs and the rest on those other players.
Isn't Nahas contracted untill the end of 2011? We can't just delisted him then Re-Rookie him if he is contracted?
No to Jacobs!
Saw Graham at VU Gym and I hope he is hitting the weights harder! Plus he should just work on his running and kicking!
Gaff or Atley should be our targets at Pick 6 if they are available!

A Tiger supporter rang into KB and Denham unhappy about the rumours of us trading 2nd/3rd round picks for players and that he wrote to the Club telling them he won't be renewing his reserved seat if we go down that failed path again. Denham said Richmond is interested in Sherman and Houli but they would only trade a 2nd round pick away if they were getting one in return by trading a player away such as Tambling.
St Kilda halfway through last year were interested in Jordan McMahon but the senior players at the Saints didn't want him so that's why that fell through.

Richmond should have a big go for Nathan Brown of Collingwood. The kid would be shattered if he misses out on Saturday. Fixes up our Key Back problem once and for all. Id offer up Tambling and a late pick for Brown.

More from DeepThroat on BF:
Apparently some one who posts on this board has wrote to the club and Rang Sen this morning very distraught that our club is going to trade out picks and is prepared to rip up his membership and reserved seat or what ever.
If this person has done so because of my earlier posts then i'd be peeed off, because the msg is not getting across, im not going to give you the exact fact, read between the lines, but one thing i can tell you is that we are trying to get as many early picks as posible as the 2nd and 3rd pick are more like 3rd and 4th round picks, there is no real outside mids in the draft that will be available with our picks that will be worthy, so we are trying to trade for young outside mids with speed and kicking skills, then use the draft for key position players and inside mids and best available talent. The Club, the list management and the coaches know what they are doning and have been planning for this for along time.
So what if we trade pick 34 and 51 and we get pick 19 and pick 20 in return for players.
Sherman will be a bargin and is so because the lions are stuffed, houli is peeed off so why not get them.
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=19119442&postcount=607
One thing is for sure 2 out 3 defenders will traded or everything in there power to be traded and they are Rance Thursty and MacGaune.
Vespremi: i dont really know, last i heard Carlton was right into him and santana has ben used in discussions.
everiit: not us, the dogs want to keep him but carlton are into him again this year.
Tambling: interesting thing is, i was told that it was Essendon that approached his mangement behind our back, only after we had signed him which they were not aware of, so we went and approched Houli uncontracted and they are really dirty with us because he can walk straight into us in PSD or if delisted the SUNS will trade him to us for a player trade.
Essendon have been into everybody and are really being really dirty about it and using the HIrd influence as a factor or Carrot. lets see Mundy, Solapak, Jones, Tambling Etc.
problem is they have left the back door open and Jetta Davey Houli Myers have been shown no love with trade week approaching and no coach to talk to them and reassure.
Saints Dogs Essendon West coast and Lions have shown interest in tambling.
polo ...........................just Sydney and essendon delist is possible
mcmahon ....................na delisted, interesting thing is last year i posted that he was off the saints after wallet was axed and i was laughed at, the players at ST.Kilda rejected it and that was that, i also posted my source but it was deleted immediatly, i didnt realise it at the time that you were not ment to do that.
nahas ...............................delisted and re rookied if not traded WC and the Dogs are interested
hislop.................................Delisted and re rookied
thomson.............................delisted
thursty up for Trade but is the least sought after and will be kept if Rance and MacGaune are traded, The tarrent deal will dictate where our players go.

GoalSneak07 on BF (part 2):
(Richmond): Richard Tambling’s name has emerged as the Tigers will battle to keep him. A number of Victorian clubs are vying for his services as he looks for a fresh start, one possible destination is the Power but no real confirmation as of yet. Tom Lynch still a possibility and Justin Sherman high on their radar.
(Essendon): Bachar Houli will be at Punt Road next season, Hardwick is keen to turn him into a hard running midfielder.
(Brisbane): Justin Sherman is linked to the Bulldogs following Harbrows departure; it’s believed the Tigers and Melbourne are high on his agenda as his preferred clubs.

Gold Coast saying they'll have a low-key trade week
http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/gold-coast-keeps-cool-on-trade-week-20100927-15u32.html
WESTERN Bulldogs have emerged as challengers to Adelaide in the race for Carlton defender Andrew Walker. The Blues have rebuffed a direct swap for out-of-favour Bulldog Andrejs Everitt.
The Crows are prepared to give up a player for Walker, but have knocked back a Blues request for last year's first-round pick Daniel Talia. Adelaide would have to give up something exceptional to trump the Bulldogs.
Josh Hill is under contract, but keen for greener pastures. It may mean a return to Western Australia for Hill, 21, along with another Bulldog, Brennan Stack, 22.
The Bulldogs are interested in Geelong's speedy Nathan Djerrkura, 22, who wants to move in the hope of playing more senior games. If he lands at Whitten Oval, it will be for a late draft pick.

The HUN this morning is saying that if the GC list Krak they want a first round draft pick for him
They have got to be joking :gobdrop
=========
Here's part of the story ....
THE Gold Coast says the asking price for former Richmond forward Andrew Krakouer is a first-round draft pick.
Krakouer could be this year's AFL redemption story after emerging from a jail term for assault to win the WAFL's Sandover Medal.
The Gold Coast has rights to Krakouer through its draft entitlements because he is a formerly listed AFL player.
That means clubs would have to trade for Krakouer, and with a raft of interested parties, they might have to give up a first-round pick.
West Coast heads the chase for Krakouer, whose four-goal 40-possession Grand Final performance saw him notch an amazing 290 SuperCoach points.
The asking price for Krakouer, who turns 28 early next year, might scare off rival clubs.

Some idiotic Eagles fan on BF had us as a "done deal" swapping Tambling for McKinley and Spangher ::).
I read that McKinley is off to Carlton, but not sure what in exchange for.

Vezpremi doesn't sound like what we need, 11 games in 3 years looks like epic fail for me especially if younger blokes are jumping him.
Was Pick 11 in 2007 between Dangerfield & Cyril Rioli, so he was a very highly rated junior. If we could get him for not much it could be worth a shot.

The biggest question is, The Infamy ,Joffa deal, direct swap. Tiges should take it with open arms. To offload a dud for an imbecile is a great trade ;)

Vespremi was an absolute gun junior footballer. Bit of puppy fat but he was very very highly rated.

Vespremi was an absolute gun junior footballer. Bit of puppy fat but he was very very highly rated.
Pretty sure i saw a fair bit of him as a junior in the yarra league if i'm not mistaken. Used to watch my younger cousin run around from under 10's through to 17's and he and Vez were always neck and neck for best player in the Yarra league. Was a very smooth mover even from young, whereas my cousin was more explosive and powerful. OT a bit but my cuz to this day is the biggest athletic freak with good skills to never play afl. Kicks 50 with both feet, 185cm, 94kg, 20metre sprint in 2.76, standing vertical leap of 77cm, can max bench press 170kgs, was consistently top 5 in nationals shot put, 100metre sprint at 10.8secs when he was 16 - is a freak, but has a low tolerance for pushing himself beyond limits - a byproduct of being so far advanced of fellow kids in his junior days due to being bigger stronger physically. Once they caught up around 16, 17yrs old, they pushed on with hard work but he didnt have that work ethic and while his natural talent was enough to get him to Oakleigh charges and western jets, it wasnt enough to push him into the upper echelon. He's now 21 and i still shake my head at his attitude.
Yeah Vez can play but not sure his eadspace is right for afl, Roos is a smart operator, if he cant get the best out of that talent , doubt we could..

Pretty good call about Roos tony, get your cousin down to pre season lol!

Get roos as director of football ..
-
Vez has had a fair amount of injuries at Sydney that's stopped him from playing also
If he can get his body right we could land a bargain with him, could be a complete bust too, but if we can trade Polo and a late pick then it may be worth it

Patrick Veszpremi is the latest name linked to the Western Bulldogs as the club sets its sights on several ready-made recruits.
Veszpremi joins Brisbane Lion Justin Sherman, Carlton's Andrew Walker and Geelong's Nathan Djerrkura on the Dogs' list of possibles heading into next week's trade period.
David Hale continues to attract strong interest. Melbourne is known to be a frontrunner, but there was speculation yesterday that Essendon may be warming to the idea of making a play for him. Hale, who has also attracted some interest from Hawthorn, has a two-year $800,000 deal remaining on his current contract at Arden Street
Recently retired Melbourne captain James McDonald, who turns 34 next week, is poised to be snapped up in the draft by Carlton, which has a keen interest in the veteran to prop up its midfield for another season.
Carlton will try to attract contracted Western Bulldogs defender Andrejs Everitt, but not in a straight swap for Andrew Walker, who appears more likely to be traded to the Bulldogs, rather than Adelaide, which has also shown strong interest in him.
The Kangaroos, who are also preparing to trade out Gavin Urquhart, are more interested in obtaining additional draft selections

-
Swann said ruckman Sam Jacobs was likely to head to Adelaide but Andrew Walker and Shaun Grigg, also floated as likely trades, could both still be at Carlton next season.
"Sammy's the only one so far who has categorically said he wants to get out.
"He wants to go back to Adelaide so we'll see what happens there, but unless we get what we want it won't happen."
He said Walker was considering his options but would stay put unless he found a better offer, while the Blues were "hopefully pretty close" to a deal to keep Grigg.
The Blues had given up hope of recruiting Jared Brennan, with Swann saying the former Lion was headed to the Gold Coast.
Swann said the Blues had no interest in Tigers Richard Tambling and Will Thursfield.

Heard that, I thought it was Tambling for Shuey and a draft pick though.
Greg Denham said Shuey will be three times the player Tambling is.
WA guy Basil Zempalis was just on SEN linking Tambling with maybe Freo.

the luke shuey one is long odds IMHO. cant see it happening.

DeepThroat's latest offering from BF.....
houli as far i know is gone, Everitt as i have stated before is gone to Carlton though the Swans are making a last minute bid, vespremi is in the mix with everitt, harbrow pick for walker, if walker is at the dogs and everitt at sydney then Sherman will be more then likely at the tigers next year, perhaps its dawning on the other clubs that Richmond has been a month a head of everybody, Nahas is still a chance at the dogs could be involved in a 3 way deal with west coast or the saints who have had dicussions with his manager, Tambling is very valuable now, the saints have finished and like i said the other day id b surprised if they do not make a huge play for him, better than Bocks pick. Sentanta is roumoured to go to sydney for vespremi but interest has hightened in vezi.
Polo still in the mix for sydney and gold coast are keen for a trade still on the 10 players they pick up, we are keen on Jamie lawton and Ed curnow.
dont be surprised if we still get a key player and we end up with another up and comer as well. the lions arent the only club looking to relieve salary cap pressure and as a last resort we are the club to trade with to bail out if a suitable deal is not struck with other clubs.

Also there's a twitter page also called deepthroat (Spyand Source) with a heap of rumours ...
http://twitter.com/SpyandSource
4 clubs interested in Vezpremi. Bulldogs, Tigers (Craig Cameron rates him highly), Bombers and St Kilda .... 9:56 PM Sep 29th via web
Grigg to the GC looks likely .... 3:52 AM Sep 30th via Twitter for iPhone
Despite reports earlier this morning Miller no certainty to end up at Tiges Suns still circling with ability 2 sign up 10 delisted players .... 3:32 PM Oct 1st via web
-
And more from BF's DeepThroat. Make of it what you will ......
i beleive that Grigg is coming to us for a 3rd rounder or in a 3 way deal with fremantle and thursfeild (freo 2 pick to carl, thursty to freo, grigg to Rich), i know carlton wanted to trade Jacobs to the crows griffiths to freo anf tarrant to carlton, The Tarrant deal will decide a few things i know we want something with currency for thursty and hardwick had him in is his plans for next year, he would rather lose MacGuane, Rance will be sought after next week it all depends what we get offerred, the best out of Rance and MacGaune, they could both be at punt road next if a satisfactory deal cannot be struck.
we wont back down from shermans contract it will be take it or leave it, its heavily front ended anyway, dont forget 400k a year from sydney is only 25k a year more from what we have offerred living in sydney will cost more than that living in Melb and he is closer to Tasmania and to home, so he can visit his family and his family will be able to watch him more in melbourne across the Tasman.
Will Minson has been linked to us, carlton, hawthorn and the saints.
our Midfeild next year could be Cotchin, Martin, Delidio, Foley, Edwards, Morton, Jackson, Heppel, Grigg( Looking to be used as a Run with player egs Swan), Houli (outside mid wing or half back), Sherman (goal kicking fast half forward or wing), tigers also believe Sherman fully fit will be a vey effective 100 meter player, Run 40 break lines and 60 meter kicks long and deep to jack.
Heppel if drafted by us will be used of half back from round 1, delidio will play wing or in the Midfeild next year.
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=19223449&postcount=250
* Tambling to the Saints for their first.
* Sherman for our 2nd.
* Thursfield to the Swans for either; our 3rd and Veszpremi or, Our 3rd for their second.
your above suggestion is not far off though freo have closed in on Thursty, Saints are also keen on thursty but might now have to settle on Luke Macguane but are running out of trade options, Perhaps Geary? Lynch?
Maybe macguane and Tambling for 1st pick and Lynch or Geary?

Bait and switch
By Ben Broad, Nathan Schmook and Mic Cullen
9:01 PM Mon 04 Oct, 2010
RICHMOND
On the table:
Richard Tambling appears Adelaide-bound in exchange for the Crows' Nathan Bock compensation pick. Key defender Will Thursfield has asked for a trade, with Fremantle a possibility, as they look for a replacement for Chris Tarrant, although Carlton has also been mentioned.
Targets:
The Tigers are keen on Lion Justin Sherman, along with Blue Shaun Grigg who told his club he wants a trade. Essendon's Bachar Houli has also been linked to the Tigers, while delisted Demon Brad Miller is being mentioned as a forward mentor for Jack Riewoldt. Geelong's Mark Blake has also been mooted as a potential ruck option.

Department of trades' club-by-club guide
Jon Anderson
Herald Sun
October 05, 2010
Richmond
Needs: With Ben Cousins gone, more A-graders in the midfield, ideally another four to match Collingwood. Interested in Essendon's Bachar Houli.
Trade potential: Richard Tambling, Will Thursfield, Robin Nahas, Luke McGuane, Alex Rance
Possibilities: Tambling gives it some currency despite his stock being devalued since being taken at 4 in 2004.

From RFC_official
Tambling would like to move on and we will try and help him with that
Sherman has asked for a figure that we believe is too high and doesn't fit with-in our strategy
Thursty has been talking to Freo.
We like both Houli and Grigg, yes.
As he is there to liaise with the punters, I doubt he would playing funny buggers.
-
Why would we trade away pick 6 to any club ::). Clark's manager is deluded.
"Whether Carlton or another club can trade into that pick No.4 from West Coast or pinch Richmond's pick, I'm not too sure.
"I'd imagine Mitch Clark will probably see out next year with Brisbane

The latest installment from DeepThroat007 on BF.....
Richard Tambling has to be soughted out b4 anything can be done, we r desperate for pick 14 and are likely to get it now that the cats have shown serious interest with a ablett priority pick and player being offerred, we've considering bling and our 2nd pick for pick 14 and crows 3rd pick ( or maybe seller mackernan or Henderson), likely to be done tomorrow no matter what deal is agreed upon expect bling 2 b a crow by tomorro,
once this is over then we can deal with Sherman, his asking price has gone through the roof but more importantly our 2nd rd pick could be used in the bling deal,
thursfeild will also be traded to freo with our 3rd pick for freos 1st pick,
I still expect Sherman to be a tiger but our power will be lost if our 2nd pick is gone, harbrow pick is important that's the pick bris want, but walker from Carlton isn't going there for anything less, bocks pick will be used for jacobs, bling has killed the blues chances of getting pick 14.
Djakura ( spelling?) could be playing for the tigers, next year, we will be dealing with the cats weather it's for Blake, west or gamble or a ablett priority pick, Foley is creating interest at the cats long way of though,
Hill could Also be a tiger next year nahas had Been mentioned as a swap,
Mitch Clark could be a eagle for pick 4 but eagles are reluctant to trade pick 4 now but are tempted,
Cornelius or collier is also a chance to end up at punt road expect a player swap, macguane is being
Favoured, though the suns are making a play for him there 2nd rd priority pick (28?).
Other news cloke has until tomorrow to decide what he is doing.
Houli will go into psd, grigg will be traded to us but we have to find a pick or player, miller will be with us next year but how is being worked out.
A three way deal with collingwood and freo is also a posabiliy, Antony, thurstfeild to freo, pick 20 to us and tarrant to collingwood, our 3rd pick to go to freo and the pies give us there 3rd pick which could be used for Grigg.
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=19248587&postcount=504
Also Carlton have made a play for Moore, Rance, macgaune and thursfeild, desperate for a key back and we are the only club with a couple to spare, 1 problem, the blues are just to hard to deal with and won't pay the right value and want to involve Grigg as a straight swap or we give up more, with hawthorn, Sydney, bris and suns all enquiring about our key backs the blues might end up with nothing and lose a player in the psd.

Interesting the controdictions DT has with what the papers are reporting. For example the HS is stating that Geelong has no interest in Tambling, Sherman has nominated the Dogs and Richmond are not on the map here and Nahas has not been mentioned once. ???

Well he said the tambling deal would be done today - so between now and say 5pm we will know if hes for real or if hes taking the pee. I think hes run a fantastic gimmick and good on him.

This DT guy has done really well to gather such attention. If he is for real, he isn't bound by media ethics (this is the wrong word, but hutchy has more to lose if a rumour is completely false) to air any rumour that might be thrown up. Good reading none the less.
I dont expect us to end up with the number of picks inside 35 that he is suggesting though.
be happy to get Grigg and Houli on our list, hopefully one of them for nothing, cause gosh i hate those two teams.
Interesting that he didnt even get close to spelling Djerrkura's name right, makes you think that he has heard the information rather than read it...

his named a few players so his pretty safe at least one of them becoming a tiger. cant see Sherman becoming a tiger though i think westernbull dogs or sydney will pick him up.

Well Sherman was originally reported as being on our radar and was said to want a trade to Richmond earlier....what do you believe? Did we withdraw our interest or are we playing for time for more bargaining chips or has he really just opted for the dogs instead...the news may change again lol

Apparently we said the cost for Sherman was too high.
If you go through DT's info it is very optimistic for Richmond to the point of being too optimistic. If all those trades went through we'd have picks 6, 14 (Adel), 20 (Freo), 28 (GC). Too good to be true to be believed. We know we ain't getting pick 14 from Adelaide. It passes the time though during trade week and gives us something to talk about so I'll give him that for entertainment value.

Barham would be a good pickup for us
-
I agree, Barham can play, he has been out of favor with Malthouse since mid last year, not exactly sure what went on but hasn't played many games since.
I would be wrapped if we got him on the cheap.....
-
Word is delisted pie J.Barham will be traded to Tigers for a defunct pick Courteous deal by the Pies as opposed 2 him chancing it in the ND
http://twitter.com/SpyandSource
No no no no no. Wasn't even in the Pies best 28. Waste of time.

hes poo
-
seen nothing except pace from barham. kicking is less than average.
-
Rookie at absolute best.
-
Had an thought (scary) Will WC have Griffin ( is he contracted) locked in as their 1st pick in the PSD
Griggs to us for the 2nd pick - oh I hope it happens.
**** Got that wrong as I read Griffen to Freo for a third round pick
-
The Bulldogs will not give up Josh Hill lightly and may keep him if Minson moves north.
It is understood Richmond also has shown interest in Hill.

The latest offering from DeepThroat007 on BF....
Some bf posters have short memories, i did say houli signed a heads of agreement, most critisized me when hird was announced as coach I still came out and said it was my opinion that houli will still come, well all bomber players are out of contract were all signed bar howl, Grigg will still come, I did say Tambling will be done the day it was ment to be done and all the experts including posters all said for bocks pick, I was lead to believe it was for pick 14 but as it happened like I said there was bocks pick and maybe a player which was close ( Henderson), but it was settled on the 3rd rd pick, where else was it mentioned that there was extra with Tambling, it's probably better than pick 14 or just short of as good. ( I'm not in the room with them all and it's a very busy time things change by the second)
Sherman has gone way over the top in what he is
asking, but I was told we were going to match sydneys 4 year deal but not the money, with bocks pick, now we r just sitting and waiting with bris and dogs, the lions do want to deal with us not the dogs and Sherman would play for us instead of syd, if houli and or Grigg don't come then watch us ramp up our offer a Little as well.
Foley was offered to Geelong for one of abletts picks but turned it down, we will be trying to get another pick in the early 20's or under if we can and we might use what we get for thurstfield, we might get something from collingwood as the tarrant deal is slowing everything up.
There is still a chance that either rance, Moore,macguane, one if these plus thursty who Carlton is still a chance, the blues hawks and swans are a chance but everyone is waiting on freo and tarrant.
John Anthony has been thrown up for a 3 way trade involving tarrant and thursfield. Anthony does not have high currency, so if this happens expect more for us and freo anthony's kicking appeals to us.
Bocks pick has drawn the suns attention and they want it, so don't be surprised if our last deal we do involves the suns, bocks pick for either higher pick or to get another young player from interstate.
We are still working with suns on a pre listed player Lawton and curnow are the ones being mentioned.
Oh we r still into Josh hill, if hawks can't do a deal then we might, also I thought there was not much difference between bocks pick and harbrows pick?
Hale will be a hawk by the weekend for browns pick.

From DeepThroat007 on BF...
Thurfeild is now being courted by carlton for 3rd under but we are close to doing a deal with the suns for a pre listed player Johnathon giles Ruckman 22 yo from sturt sanfl 200cms, had an outstanding year the blues want him to.

Giles was on Port's list for 4 years, delisted because he couldn't get a game - basically because he couldn't put on enough weight and couldn't run out 4 quarters.
He's now super fit, 100kgs and dominating the SANFL. Another Hartley special :thumbsup

Herald-Sun saying some garbage 'tweet' yesterday had Mitch Clark being traded to the Tigers with a fourth round pick in exchange for Will Thursfield and Richmond's compensation pick.

Total Bullsh!t I reckon.

Only way that would be true is if Mitch Clark is squeezed out by salary cap.
I read somewhere that Fremantle were astonished at the amount Mitch would be getting paid in the final year of his contract.

Where your club stands
2:01 PM Sat 09 Oct, 2010
RICHMOND
Trades confirmed:
Adelaide's end-of-first round compensation selection for losing Nathan Bock and a third-round draft selection (No.50) for Richard Tambling.
On the table:
Defender Will Thursfield is seeking a new club and he has already met with Fremantle. Richmond has reportedly set the price at a second-round pick.
Targets:
The Tigers are keen to beef up their midfield by adding Carlton's Shaun Grigg and disgruntled Bomber Bachar Houli. Both players have told their respective clubs of their wish to join Richmond; now a deal just has to be done. Player manager Paul Connors has said the Tigers are also considering delisted Demon Brad Miller as a potential recruit.
Young Tiger Andrew Collins may be on his way to Visy Park as part of Grigg move but that was unconfirmed as of Saturday.

Keep you posted
Carlton r still into thursty as well.

RFC_Official has stated that we're looking to trade for Houli (presumably a 3rd rounder) in order to keep our PSD pick free.

Rumour we're interested in ruckman Jonathan Giles (ex-Power recruit who now plays for Sturt in the SANFL) as a possibility in the PSD.

DeepThroat's latest offering this morning.....
Carlton dont want to give anything away for Thursfeild nothing but a 4th rounder we want a 3rd rounder at the minmum, if thorton does go to sydney then with Tarrant out of the question then we might get a 3 rd pick from swans in a 3 way deal.
we working hard for Johnathan Giles but the suns want him as a back up and port have expressed interest in him as well.
We are considering oferring bocks pick to the suns for a higher pick or for there 2nd round priority pick and 2 pre listed players.
We are waiting for bris and the dogs to sought them selves out if they dont then we will try and trade bocks pick to the lions for sherman which is better than harbrows pick, which the lions will ontrade to the suns in which they will get a pre listed player and the suns 2nd round priority pick as well, we will also get a pre listed player.
Giles and Ed curnow are the 2 players we are looking at we beleive we can rookie list Lawton.
dont be surprised if we clean swap another contracted player for another midfeilder from another club, time is running out though.

Apparently had a good 2010 at Sturt in the SANFL after crossing over from Central District last summer. A ruckman who also kicked a few goals.
(http://www.sturtfc.com.au/sites/default/files/imagecache/Medium-Shadow/personnel/photos/2010/Jonathon%20Giles.jpg)
DOB: 08-01-1988 (22 y.o.)
Height: 200cm
Weight: 100kg
Nickname: Joffa
Recruited from: Central District (SA)
Draft history: 2005 NAB AFL Draft 5th round selection (Port Adelaide) No. 70 overall.
Delisted by Port: 2009 without making his AFL debut
Here's a thread on BF about Giles from Adelaide supporters point of view:
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=750096
Giles was on Port's list for around 4 years so Brendon Lade would know him best at Richmond.

From a Carlton poster on BF:
There has been talk by a very reputable poster who said that you have spoken to Sam Jacobs and told him that if he enters the PSD you will take him.
He is not hell bent on getting back to SA, its more of a point that he wants more game time, and he is behind Kreuzer and Warnock at Carlton.
I actually think he would be a great pick up for the tigers.....wpuld certainly be your number 1 ruckman. I would also prefer for him to go to you for nothing in the PSD than go to the crows who refuse to pay up to his worth in a trade....
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=19303045&postcount=406
And more from DeepThroat ...
Now that Sherman is gone houli will be done asap or into the psd, but we have a player in mind for that pick, expect tambling 3 rd round pick for houli, expect a big play for one more player exchange of player expected. At this stage as far as I know the player is from interstate. Stayed tuned we could be involved on 3 more deals including houli.

Beginning to think that Deepthroat has gotten everyone a bit excited and i expect a fairly quiet end to trade week. Looks like there is a good chance Will will stay, probabaly trade the tambling 3rd rounder for Houli and that would be about it. Slightly concerned of any more possible player to player exchanges seeing as though there have been several rumours surrounding Foley and i don't want Foley going anywhere unless it is for something very very good. Now who are we targetting with our PSD pick???
-
Stayed tuned we could be involved on 3 more deals including houli.
Any ideas who these players are?

DeepThroat's late Sunday night posts.....
The rumour about Jacobs is false a deal will be struck tomorrow, if it first then we might have a chance but there has been no under hand tactics on our behalf, we do have a target in the psd.
Nathan foley is still a chance to be traded but only for the right deal.
We have our eye on a outside midfielder from interstate don't know who though, expect a player swap. Maybe Rance for hinkly, shuey or smith.
Hill is still chance but there has to be a couple of things to come off, nahas is in the mix and saints have enquired also s straight swap for rookie Tom simpkin has been mentioned.
Foley is a chance to go still we want another pick inside the top 20.
Houli for our 3rd pick is looking likely.
Expect the unexpected tomorrow, we have positioned ourselves to capitilize on any opportunies that arise out of last minute deals. But only if they suit us.
Finally we have made enquiries on sydneys jess white and lewis Johnson but who knows how far that will go.
Expect the lions to do a deal now that there salary cap has eased, they have room for a realistically paid player.
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=19308996&postcount=501
There is some bad blood between the tigers and bombers, they approached tambling wen contracted and then rang cotchins manager knowing full well he is contracted. Other clubs are really peeed of at the bombers having no regard for contracts.
Richmond has told them cotch jack Martin and lids are untouchable laughed wen they offerred houli and a 2 nd rounder.
Richmond have blind sided them and have impressed all at the trade week, the feeling is that the sleeping giant is awakening as our offield administration is first class.
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=19309133&postcount=506
Jonathan Giles could be a tiger tomorrow, bombers would have secure to that for us if they want any other better picks, remember you read it here first on Friday about Johnathon Giles.
Trying to secure Ed curnow as well, if houli goes into the psd then forget the other player that's why it depends on what happens tomorrow.
They want Foley bad we don't want to part with him unless it's right. I don't beleive foley will go anywhere.

Now its time to speculate on senior players coming to Richmond in the National Draft and PSD! Fire Away people! Besides Houli who is on the list?

looks to me DT07 is way off beam, good to know for the future, had us all going for a while :lol

what was the clue? That he apart from regurgitating what everyone already knew that all his wild guesses fell through lol

looks to me DT07 is way off beam, good to know for the future, had us all going for a while :lol

-
Rumours has it that.... there is no more Player Rumours :lol
I kidd :)
-
theres gotta be at least another 321 rumours surely ;D
-
I'm guessing we'll have state players from the SANFL and Tassie in our sights based on last year's experience. Sturt's ruckman Jonathan Giles was one of the ones rumoured during trade week. Lawton from Coburg could be looked at as a rookie.

we all knew he was full of shell grit but we read em anyway lol

This is the exact type of ruckman we should be getting to add to our list. Giles is about 200cm + 100kg, will be 23yo next season. Perfect stop gap while vickery and brown develop and who knows might even excel at afl level now hes matured. I'd definitely be looking at him with a late pick in the ND.
-
or our first pick in PSD
-
or our first pick in PSD
to many clubs interested in Giles at least 3. we'll need to take him in the national draft probably around the 46 or 50 mark.
-
do you mean PSD or ND there ramps?
If other clubs are interested in him then the PSD gives us the upper hand as we have an early, if not first pick.

national draft
thanx for picking that up!
