Difficult to rate at the moment ..

What if Townsend is another " Miles" ?

What if Yazza has career best season ?

Very happy to still be holding on to pick 12 - although that may disappoint some of my fellow keyboard warriors   posters

The trade period wash-up ends up:

In: Yarran, Townsend

Out: pick 31, pick 70, 2016 round two pick.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Wallace on SEN rated our trade period a C-.

* Got Townsend for next to nothing. Tough kid and welcome on your list as he is a worker.

* Plough doesn't rate Yarran. You'll get a spike early on then you'll get more of the same we've seen. Pick 19 was about right as a trade market price.

* Richmond spoke up their chances prior to the trade period but didn't do a lot.

* They believed they had Treloar but missed out.

* Two years in a row they haven't done a lot and missed out on a big name.

* Still haven't got that small forward as Yarran is playing back. Need to find it in the draft - eg: Rioli or Ah Chee.

i too expect yarran to have a good year next, then drop off as he gets in the comfort zone.

just as long as he doesn't suffer too much white line fever , that is

Took the words right out of my mouth.  I hope he is wrong but have a feeling he will be pretty close on all these.
Overall gave a 3, fairly poor i think.

Average

Wanted us to be daring and trade out and we failed to do that

Yes we almost traded out Astbury but that wasn't exactly what one would call being "daring"

I think our obsession with getting Yarran meant we let trade time pass us by

Very happy with the Townsend deal, that should be a win for us

Yarran we will revisit in mid 2017. No point looking at in 2016 as he will as others have said have good year. It is the years after that will determine if we got it right

But in the Meantime he is now a new Richmond player and he gets my support

Brett Anderson on SEN has us as one of the three biggest losers from the trade period along with Freo and Sydney. His main reasons for that being (i) Yarran and Townsend won't win you a final and (ii) that Richmond's leading players are flaky and they brought in one of the flakiest players out there in Yarran.
