How did we all rate Richmond's trade week?
* Morris and pick 15 for pick 14
* Maric for pick 37
* Pick 79 for Morton
* Picks 26 and 2nd round compo pick for End of 1st rnd compo pick.
In: Maric, Morris, picks 15, 26, 2nd rnd compo, 79
Out: Morton, picks 14, End of 1st compo, 37.

We got a ruckman without budging on our initial offer. :clapping
Masterstroke to screw over Port by picking up Morris by dropping 1 spot down in the first round. :clapping :clapping
Gained Pick 26 (end of 1st round) in this years draft and a banked compo pick that comes into play directly after Port's 2nd round pick (still being speculated) for our end of 1st round compo pick :clapping :clapping :clapping
Massive positives here, intelligent trading, not getting caught up in bidding wars, improving our list and managing to move on a player who has struggled with us for possibly the best we could have got.
Excellent.

We couldnt trade mcguane for nic nat but overall we did OK.

Thought we traded extremely well in the shadow of a very average recruiting period. We filled holes that needed filling - ruck and small defender to shut down the oppositions small forwards that have rodgered us for years. We swapped one end of first round pick for an earlier first round selection plus an early (well based on previous years selections :-[) second round selection. We also got rid of a player we were intending to delist regardless and found him a home which builds good will between clubs and existing players. We recieved a pick we are going to use to upgrade a rookie regardless.
All in all we have done very well just as we did last year. Well done to all involved :clapping

Good trade period...
Will be even better if we can land Mcaffer in the psd.
-
I think we are winners in the trade period gaining Morris, Maric plus an extra 1st round selection whilst only losing Morton who was going to be delisted and a compo pick which lost more and more value due to other compo picks. Would have loved to have traded McGuane or Connors for anything to clear up space.
If we can get Mitch Grigg (15) and Toby Greene (26) we will be doing well.
Would love the Fev also. Looks like Essendon might go there??
PSD target should be Maric from Melbourne and we should target Mark Blake as a rookie (Insurance only).
-
Up until that last trade of our compo pick for pick 26 it was looking very ho-hum
But overall we did OK
What will be interesting now is to see who we de-list, seeing outside of Morton we didn't move any of those out of contract or those who were ocntracted that they supposedly shopped around eg McGuane, Connors
-
average
-
solid work.

I would say good.
We picked up Morris and Maric for about what we wanted which was a fair price.
The compo pick exchange was a good result, slightly better off.
The Morton deal I think was terrible. We gave up a player who got 9 games this year for a pointless pick.
In comparison were the following similar types - Ebert (28), Hill (49), Sierakowski (58) and Power (69).
Even if we were being generous to Mitch in allowing a trade to his team of choice it sends a very bad message of how we value our players in trade.
-
Morton let it done otherwise i would've been quite happy
It proves our players are worthless. No one wants them
Seeing the Bummers not get their man was a breath of fresh air
-
Average.... ;D

Herald-Sun's report card...
RICHMOND
Gained: Ivan Maric, Steven Morris, Picks 15, 26, 79, second-round compensation pick**
Lost: Mitch Morton, Pick 14, 37, end-of-first-round compensation pick**
Draft picks: 15, 55, 73, 79, 91
Verdict: Tiges stood their ground on Maric and got him for pick 37, which is a fair deal. He's no star but he will offer a contest in the middle. Got something for Morton but couldn't find a home for Luke McGuane. Overall a solid effort.

Okay but would have loved to have traded McGuane and Connors
-
Yep was my only disappointment = we didn't trade Connors ;D
-
Yep was my only disappointment = we didn't trade Connors ;D
Is it true he failed a medical in Adelaide?
-
I'm happy because we didn't pay overs for anyone.
Clever trades for Morris and compo pick.
Morton pick was pointless but we shipped out dead wood, even tho he is worth a pick in the 50s IMO..
Think it was a success without getting to excited.. Biggest test is our delistings..
-
...happy with our work overall...effectively got Morris & Maric for nix, with that sneaky last minute deal managed to upgrade our draft status and at least got something for Morton (who we were obviously going to pee of for naught)...agree that it would've been nice to get rid of a bit more dead wood but it's pretty tough to achieve when other clubs recognise they are said dead wood (we'd all love to trade nuffers for stars but it doesn't always work....)plus we've still got the "delisting period"...overall as far as "trading" goes another good year by BH & co..
-
Highly doubt we'll be using pick 79. Doubt we would have used pick 60 either (their next lowest pick). We basically just gained good favour with Sydney.
Rated the trade period as good. If we managed to get a 2nd rounder for Connors or McGuane, it would be excellent.

and we looked after a player. It gives mitch certainty and he can get on with it..

pick 79 for fev??..lol
-
We did very well i thought.
Can't mark us down for not trading spuds. We know they are spuds odds are other clubs experts know they are spuds.
Downtrading our comp pick by a few places to gain a first rounder who we can bring in immediately is a win.
Getting rid of Morton for pick 79 may not seem like a win now but if a Sydney player wants out in later years that they no longer require the goodwill may be returned.
Maric for pick 37 is a win. I base this off the fact Adelaide really didnt want pick 37 at all so we must have paid unders in a weak draft. Was effectively our 3rd pick as it turned out.
Morris for practically free is a win too.
Now to nail draft time. 1 gun mid and 1 good solid mid would be very nice. We have slightly better picks than what north had last year and they got Atley and Harper. Darling went 26 last year too. ;D
-
Yeah I would rate it as shrewd. Especially when I glanced over Blair Hartley's chat on the Tigers website. The reality was, even though we wanted a big name, none were prepared to offer it as the reality was no-one was prepared to offer us the big names.
Anyway, my pick by pick analysis:
Pick 14 for Morris and Pick 15 (GWS) = A grade move. Take one spot back, which still should produce a player we've targetted. You would think/ hope its netted us two players who should be in the best 22 by the end of either this year, but certainly the year after next. (BTW does anyone think that with the rumours surrounding Thursfield indicate that a KPB is high on the agenda... Talia?)
Pick 37 for Ivan Maric = B+ move. I like the look of Maric but proof will be in the pudding. At the end of the day, he has given us a ruckman who can at least even up the chances for our midfield. Could be a better stop gap whilst the club either a) chace a ruckman through the draft or free agency or b) stockpile enough assets to trade for a better ruckman.
Morton for Pick 79 = D+ Grade Move. Get a higher pick 4. Again, the proof will be in the pudding in terms of what we do. I wouldn't think that they would upgrade a rookie listed player but will take an ex-AFL player, like a Pratt or someone. Depends on who gets delisted between now and the draft really. But if he was going to get pre-listed might as well get something back for him.
Compo pick (Bock) for Compo pick (N.Krakour) and pick 26 = A grade move. Give us 5 picks in the first two rounds in the next 5 years. Again, this is vitally important I think for a team that hopefully in three years time will be in a position to play deep into finals and also to be a club of preference for those who want to be traded. Like Hawthorn was this year.
Overall happy. Thinks it sets us up well asset wise for the coming years, and doesn't detract at all from the current list. I would give it a nice B+ overall. Solid effort.

Nice summery Jobba :thumbsup :thumbsup

I feel as if we walked away with more than we came with. So I'm happy with how we went :)

Good. :thumbsup

RICHMOND
The Age's report card
IN: Ivan Maric (Adel), Steven Morris (SANFL), picks 15, 26, 79, second-round compensation selection.
OUT: Mitch Morton (Syd), picks 14, 37, end of first round compensation selection.
Minor players. Got the deal done they wanted bringing in grunt ruckman they were after before trade week - Maric. Not a huge ruck in modern terms, but a good aggressive competitor and will give good protection for Ty Vickery for the next few years. Brought in Morris and only moved one spot in draft. Basically did a deal to help Morton get where he wanted to go. No love for Luke McGuane from others.
