Trade talk at your club - part 2

RICHMOND
GETTING involved heavily, and why wouldn't they after they got Shaun Grigg for basically nothing (the swap for Andrew Collins was inspired) and Bachar Houli in the pre-season draft.
The deal for Ivan Maric is getting bogged down through the same old reasons: Richmond doesn't want to give up much and Adelaide wants the world.
But these deals tend to get done after some trade-week argy bargy, sometimes involving a third party to help the selection of picks.
Ben Nason has been mentioned as a potential trade to Adelaide, and you get the feeling Richmond wouldn't be shattered to let him go.
He just couldn't crack a spot in the side much this year.
Dan Connors, an inspiration last year but injured this season, wants out.
And if a trade can be arranged, the Tigers will do it given they have plenty of half-backs who can use the ball.
Similarly, tall defender Luke McGuane would like greater opportunities and a deal would be done for the right price. But he is contracted, so could yet stay.
Matt White and Mitch Morton will both have their names thrown around at trade time.
Nathan Foley's name has been tossed around lately, but he isn't going anywhere. He is contracted for next year according to the club and he is a favourite of coach Damien Hardwick.

Don't forget a bit of Clag on the side! ;) A Ralph meal would not be complete without a bit of Clag to finish things off. ;D

So if its not Clag not a crayon and not KFC it must be a low grade animal slurry. ;)

LOL @ Ralphy saying Mcguane has been serviceable on sen.
-
Yeah caught that too :lol

I think ol Ralphy misspelt 'routinely serviced by his opponents'

:rollin@Tucker! You'd usually get rubbed out for 3-4 weeks for a low grade animal slurry if sprung by the match review panel wouldn't you? That would really suck the lead out of his pencil, rendering him completely stationery and preventing him from writing on his preferred choice of paper, foolscap :lol :help
-
LOL @ Ralphy saying Mcguane has been serviceable on sen.
Surely he wasn't referring to his efforts in 2011. Before that he was.

He has been serviceable. For the opposition.

:ROTFL
He could always write his name in the snow by p!ssing in it. :thumbsup
Wouldn't be much different to the slurry he normally writes. :thumbsup

He was one of our better defenders under Wallace, he seems to have gone down a bit of late, how short peoples memories are.
-
He's a good to average spoiler who can blanket a good to average forward. He has trouble with his desposal and decision making while under pressure which is his biggest slight considering the pressure of his position. He would be good as a third tall in a good side such as Carlton.
At Richmond we already have raw talent that has considerably more potential and imho, has already surpassed him in current capability.
Would not get us much at the trade table but a third/fourth rounder pick would be useful. Otherwise will become a depth player.

Has always been that heart in the mouth type footballer. Even when he was spoiling well he was consistently allowing his opponent easy cheap goals undoing his hard work
-
His game against GWS was a classic example of that. He constantly undid his good work by poor disposal and poor decision making. It was a game he could have dominated but didn't

RICHMOND
NAB AFL Draft selections: 14, 37, 55
Recent trade history: The Tigers are often busy during trade week. They secured Carlton midfielder Shaun Grigg last season after sending young forward Andrew Collins to the Blues. Grigg's top-10 finish in Richmond's best and fairest means the Tigers regard that as a successful deal, although the club has probably had more misses than hits during recent trade weeks. Graham Polak and Jordan McMahon are two poor trades that Tiger fans would rather forget.
Likely strategy: The first thing Richmond needs is a mature ruckman to complement developing big men Angus Graham and Andrew Browne. The club is already talking to Adelaide about a deal to secure Ivan Maric. Its forward line and midfield are also in good shape, but it needs tall, skilled defenders. Geelong's Tom Gillies has apparently caught the eye of the Tigers' recruiting staff. "We must continue to add to our playing list, and identify the right talent that will complement our existing playing group we already have, so … the pressure is on,” Richmond coach Damien Hardwick said at the club's best and fairest award. "We need to get better, and we need to get better quickly."

How on earth did that report mention Grigg as a good trade for us, without mentioning Houli, who cost us nothing and came top 5 in the JD?
stuffing monkeys.
-
'developing big man Angus Graham'
:laugh:

Probably because we didnt trade for Houli. Good work Bummers :cheers

Spose your right, Tigs.
Hopefully we can screw someone similarly again this year. Adelaide, im looking in your direction.

^ be very happy with this...

Polak was traded for pick 8 and we got Freos pick 14 which we used (and was always going to) pick Jack. Polly effectively cost us nix as did Bacher where we held our ground which is great negotiating - if not trading

What your club needs in trade week

WHO should your club be chasing, and what could they offer in return? A closer look at what your team has to gain, and lose, in trade week.
RICHMOND
PICKS: 14 15, 37, 55, 73, 91
NEEDS: They need plenty given only Trent Cotchin, Brett Deledio, Dustin Martin, Jack Riewoldt and Tyrone Vickery are certainities to be there in five years. So that means big-bodied defenders, although Alex Rance showed some real signs this year.
TRADE TABLE: They are prepared to be active this week. Bachar Houli and Shaun Grigg were worthwhile trade week deals last year. Now they have to get a deal done for ruckman Ivan Maric, given the Tigers are desperate in this area. Dan Connors, who can play, could become involved in the Maric deal.
FAIR CALL: Connors for Maric is fair, even if Adelaide will scream a bit at first. Luke McGuane is a defender who will attract some interest. Not sure too many other Tigers will carry much weight.

Big bodied defenders eh, I have only been saying that forever.
