Natalie for me

Beast

His athletic powers would mix well with miles, vlastuin.


Would not sneeze at a Dangerfield or nicnat either.

I believe the club Is stagnating and requires an a grade recruit and new coach to bring in some hope

Fyfe won't leave WA , especially to play for a worse club, regardless of whether he supported us or not. If that was the case we'd have lured blokes like Crawford, Hodge & Scully over the years just to name a few.

Biggest trick we ever missed was not going fter Rhys-Jones when he left Sydney because we were too busy having a peeing contest with Collingwood. He also supported us as a kid but we were still a desirable destination back then.

Fyfe -FA
Vickery- bulddogs/brisbane for a young quality mid
Lids- gws for Cameron plus a pick of some sort
Draft kids ffs!!! And quality for that matter

Retire: newy, king, stephenson
Delist: etc, etc

You get my point, we dont need to rebuild per se, but need to re structure this list. Lackin midfield depth, junior ruck, and kpf and kpd.

Lets get stuffing moving ppl  :clapping

In terms of draft picks - the players I can see us being interested in include

Angus Brayshaw who is my early preferred selection
Jarrod Pickett who is also someone who I like alot and would give us an immediate injection of pace and would be my 2nd preference for a midfielder
Patrick McCartin and Sam Durdin are my two preferences for KPP and
Isaac Heeney is a Sydney Swans academy player who I'd like to see us try and trade for and he comes from a great educational system in the SS academy and has probably learnt the right way.

Beyond that

In terms of players at other clubs I am particularly interested in Kristian Jaksch who should be able to play on big forwards and we have a need for this type. I also always liked Tim Broomhead who is not getting a game at Collingwood. Allen Christensen at Geelong is another I like and we need a small goalkicking forward as well. Im sure there are probably other players at other clubs who have talent who arent getting a game at Present and who are doing well in the reserves of their clubs. We should be looking at Sydney, Hawthorn, Geelong and Collingwood in this regard as they have really good club cultures. And of course if we could bring in an A grader then that would help things a lot and give the supporters hope.

Unfortunately at Richmond our list management procedures and recruiting have been disgraceful and we are paying the price for it.

Players have been leaving for more dosh since Adam was a boy, me finks the RFC playing at the mcg have a little more bargaining power than getting a player to gws. All it takes is salary cap space. The rest is academic  :shh

I would also seriously consider rookying Brad Sewell from Hawthorn and Ryan O'Keefe from Sydney once they have been delisted by their clubs and we could bring them in as playing Assistant Coaches to bring some leadership to the team. Probably a stupid idea but our club is rooted and we need to find some cheap leadership from somewhere.

Robbie Nahas - The small forward we have been looking for
Angus Graham - Upgrade on Hampson. The backup we need
Matt White - Speedy, line breaking mid. We are missing one of them
Jay Schulz - The classy, veteran forward to help Jack.

Perhaps the spin kings that convince us to hand over our hard earned may be able to convince some big fish to come down  :shh

Or perhaps we can continue  recruit some other senior players currently ranked in the opps best 38-42 players  :whistle

I was listening to MMM pre game at the ground. Newy was interviewed and he said he wants to go on.
Can see the club doing this whilst a kid gets either delisted or rotiing away at ressie level.

Then in the last 12 months we have extended the contracts of Grigg by 3 years, Edwards by 2 Foley by 3.

This time next year we are looking at locking in Dusty again, :help
Add Cotchin to that and then the club will use the excuse we need the salary ap room.

People here want Fyfe, Dangerfield, Hannebery etc we have got no hope they are out of our league.

If these players do come home to Vic then expect them to seriously consider, Collingwood, Geelong or Hawthorn as they are the best Vic teams with the best footy operation systems on and off field going around.

We are a half way house for footy players who have no prospects anywhere else.

RFC are the lost and found of skata. Other clubs lose and we find it, gold plate and keep it and pass it off as gold bullion when in reality a piece of skata anyway you look at it is a piece of skata.

stuff me dead

I struggle to get AM bands at Etihad as I listen to SEN normally but being at Etihad I listened to MMM.

Wayne Carey, Wayne Schwass, and Hamish McGloughlin were asking the questions.

It went along something like this.

Chris your 32 this year, 33 next year any thoughts of retirement?

Would love to play on.

How is the body holding up?

A few niggles but I'll be right.

So no thoughts of retirement?

Well if there is a role in the team for me I am happy to play on for as long as they want me.

There you have it Angus the above Q&A is not verbatim but it is along the lines of what was said.
I got the impression he does not want to retire and the club doesn't want him to either FWIW. Made me cringe TBH. :help

Don't know what Dan Richardson's comments today mean with regards to the above. Wait and see. :help

What would a Newman be on and King. He'd be on some fair coin and will open up plenty space when he retires enabling us to snag someone. Thing is who is going to come to us ?

i was hoping there would be space (2.5%-5% at least)

and king/newman etc. would open up more space   :pray   yet  RICHMOND football manager Dan Richardson doesnt fill me with confidence

Newman is on the veterans list so only part of his contract is included in the salary cap

So he doesn't represent a big saving that's going to free a lot of space

Cameron is the most likely to leave his club and go to another club for more mulla. We need another tall forward so he would be my choice. If there is a quality midfielder we could snag that would be my second choice.

Can't see him leaving unless he's squeezed out so not really worth debating, but if he was guaranteed to bring the kind of leadership we need, not necessarily captain of course but skills to rub off on our leaders, then I'm all for it. Solid player too. Reckon he'll be signed up though as soon as they work out if they can poach a forward and what is left for Fyfe and stuff.

Dunstall reckons Mundy would be a great fit. Also goes along with what some have said here that we may need to recruit leadership from outside.

http://www.triplem.com.au/melbourne/sport/afl/news/2014/6/jason-dunstall-believes-fremantle-dockers-midfielder-david-mundy-would-be-the-ideal-recruit-for-richmond-tigers/
Dunstall should STFU. Mundi is 29
yep some of us did.
no chappy, instead we play shank edwards lol  keep jake king a 32 yo,  recruit hacks gordon and lloyd both 24 yr olds when we could have invested on kids with those picks  in the nd.
under those circumstances would do it tommorrow in a heart beat.

hmm dave mundy as a f/a in a heart beat.
Unrestricted free agent though.

Big deal, we'll pay him pooloads and only get 2 years out of him

Better bet than Chapman at least, who some here wanted.

Having said that, I basically agree and wouldn't do it.

Title: David Mundy would be a prefect fit for Richmond: Dunstall
Post by: one-eyed on June 25, 2014, 01:41:53 PM
FREMANTLE midfielder David Mundy is adamant his unresolved contract status won’t grow into a distraction, saying he’ll weigh up football and family factors before making a final call on his AFL future.

Mundy is at the peak of his powers and will be in hot demand if he decides to test the market as a restricted free agent at the end of the season.

Family ties could persuade the 28-year-old Victorian to finish his career at a Melbourne-based club on a lucrative three or four-year deal.

AFL great Jason Dunstall said Mundy would be a perfect recruit for Richmond, who have endured a spectacular fall from grace since finishing fifth last year.

But Fremantle remain in the box seat to retain his services. Not only is the club in premiership mode, but Mundy’s wife is a West Australian.

However, complicating matters is the uncertainty surrounding Nat Fyfe’s new deal.

Fyfe has already declared he wants to stay at Fremantle, but the terms of his contract are yet to be nutted out.

Start of sidebar. Skip to end of sidebar.

End of sidebar. Return to start of sidebar.

Mundy is likely to wait until Fyfe’s deal is sorted before making a call on his own future.

Carlton and the Western Bulldogs are among the clubs pursuing out-of-contract young Greater Western Sydney key defender Kristian Jaksch, trying to persuade the Victorian to return home.

Several Victorian clubs have shown strong interest in Jaksch, with Hawthorn also rating the young key back highly as a potential replacement for the veteran premiership player Brian Lake.

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

 Pacy midfielder Dylan Shiel heads that list of players whom Victorian clubs are pursuing.

Shiel, who is contracted until the end of 2015, is regarded as the most accomplished of the players yet to re-sign with the Giants and clubs are hopeful of persuading him to return home in a similar trade to the one that enabled Dom Tyson return to Melbourne to play with the Demons this year.

Shiel’s girlfriend is the daughter of Richmond assistant coach – and former Giants coach – Mark Williams, and so his name is invariably linked with a move to Punt Road.   

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

Several clubs eagerly await the next move by out-of-contract Demons defender James Frawley. A former All-Australian, Frawley has put off talks with Melbourne until the end of the year, heightening speculation he may choose to leave the club.

Fyfe won't leave WA , especially to play for a worse club, regardless of whether he supported us or not. If that was the case we'd have lured blokes like Crawford, Hodge & Scully over the years just to name a few.

Biggest trick we ever missed was not going fter Rhys-Jones when he left Sydney because we were too busy having a peeing contest with Collingwood. He also supported us as a kid but we were still a desirable destination back then.
He will for more money boyo, ask gazza who left Geelong for GC, or Phil Davis or Nathan bock or callus ward ooh my like it's never happened before  ::)
has only last week come ourt and said there is no way he will leave  freo or wa for that matter. loves it there, is a wa boy is on good coin and is well on the way to resigning. 
you can forget about fyfe he aint going nowhere.
of there mids dave mundy is a possibility. hes weighing up the family side of things and wont resign until yrs end if he does at all. mundy may be too old for some. me id pay him what hes worth and then some to get him but at 29 length of contract would be an issue.

Fyfe's just re-signed with Fremantle for another 3 years so that dream's over.

Apparently Morabito -who's been killing in the WAFL all year-  is not happy about not getting a game. Might be worth a punt. You wouldn't want to give up too much though. Probably as high a risk as Knights but definitely a much higher reward.

Nichols as a pure ruck was awesome last season, would have a serious crack at him, given where he is in the pecking order up there. Tape hasnt come on much as I thought he would but I'd look at him, would be an upgrade on Batchelor as a medium defender

One could argue Grigg is not in the top30, watts is a large Chaplin upgrade(equally soft,younger,upside) and the excess salary cap room would lead to a beneficial situation. What a cunning plan

Chappy, while terrible earlier in the season, has been pretty damn solid in the last couple of months. He is twice the player that Watts is and nowhere near as soft.

If you're going to talk replacing Chappy at least throw up someone half decent.

Think Grigg would comfortably be in top 30. Watt's isn't an upgrade on Chaplin IMO and we don't have the luxury of trading an okay backman for a speculative one with too many mental demons. I would take the chance on him but not at high risk.

Not surprising that his best game for the year was against us when we were playing like poo, Chaplain included. In general, he has done nothing this year but take up space.
look elsewhere Judge.

We are reknowned for letting duds and newbies opposition players either played back into form or have a break out game

Ya but older and expensive
lol your worrying about expense yet want to cut chaplin.
you do realise hes contracted until the end of 2016.  if we pay him out you wont be able to afford a rookie yet alone jack watts. whats chaplin on 350 - 400k a yr thats 800k straight onto our cap.
get used to the idea we wont be cutting chaplin  so how about some realistic ideas based on whos contracted and whos not.

I dont think Watts will make it. Pity I think he has talent and size. He just squibs the contest and looks lost out there too often.  Id rather not take him unless they think they can fix him because as he is he is Tambo 2.

Post by: the claw on August 14, 2014, 08:24:41 PM
my understanding of uncontracted players.
those who come out of contract at yrs end. its actually half the list and apart from half a dozen i dont care which ones get the stuff theres plenty of options.
uncontracted players list proper
arnot, astbury ???, batchelor, dea, a edwrds, elton, griffiths , helbig, knights , mcbean, mcdonough, mcintosh, newman, ohanlon, petterd. with king already retired.

all 6 rookies can be delisted if we wish. imo what i think the club will do is promote both Miles and Thomas. which leaves another 4 possible delistees,
rookies
banfield, stephenson, williams, darrou, miles, thomas

personally i would like to see 5 new faces on the list proper so if miles and thomas are promoted that means we cut 7 from the list proper.
i would like for us to take 4 new rookies making a total of 9 new faces.

i have a pretty clear list of the 11 players id like to see cut or traded. people will get precious and wont like it so i wont name em.

with 9 new faces it would go something like this
1 trade have a few id love to trade out for picks but one will do.
1 f/a  we should be in the market for a f/a.
4 nd picks as a minimum especially if we can manage to trade into a good pick.
4 rookie picks so that is in effect 10 new faces.

i think this scenario is barely doing enough.

I don't get why people are so intent on getting a free agent. Is it to look like you're up with the pack? Posters say they are sick of moneyball and topping up players when we are "a middling team who are getting ahead of themselves" but then are desperate for us to get a free agent just because we can.

Agree with that. Must meet a need.

Here's the first thing I'd do. Cut Stephenson , delist Hampson and then rookie list him as back up for next year. That frees up Hampson's spot on the list for us to take a kid....as we should've done last year. Better late than never.
 We won't have the balls to do it though. That'd be admitting we ****ed up by giving up our second rounder for Hampson.

I think the only player we should properly target is Kristian Jaksch. We need a big bodied defender and at 195cm this guy fits the bill. He is already in the system so knows whats required. If we can find another Anthony Miles type on the cheap then that is good too. I dont want anymore Hampson, Thomas etc types. There is no value in it. Lets go deep into this draft and stock up with 6 or 7 kids.

The good teams keep doing it and some on here want to sit on their hands and hope for the best. Our best (at the draft or in development) hasn't been good enough for over 30 years, it's time we got back into the game.
If you don't think Frawley would a B+/A grade defender in a good side then you may as well take up chess.
And for those who bring up Moneyball, it's not even close to the same thing!
And worse still, those who think you don't have to pay overs for any FA is just plain kidding themselves. You pay overs because you get them for free!!  :banghead

Sorry but how is paying overs in the free agent market for the sake of getting an older player not moneyball? Frawley would be a good get but if he was to go somewhere else and we didn't get him people would be straight onto Hardwick for not being active in free agency)

Huh?

The concept of moneyball is to acquire cheap players with serious deficiencies and use them to their singular/minimal strengths.

IE: Matt Thomas as a wrecking ball in the mid.


Chasing Frawley would be moneyball. Nor advisable IMO.

How is chasing/getting  Frawley Moneyball? You said it yourself, "cheap players with serious deficiencies" 
I know he has been no star since his All Australian year but The Melbourne FC have a fair bit to do with that. Take a look at Rivers now at Geelong, a very good and reliable KPD when out of the rat hole.
 
We would have to pay overs for him so that cannot be Moneyball.

As I said in another post, you pay overs because they are basically a free player in term of getting them to your club. No trading or drafting needed to acquire them.

would love to have a crack at tomlinson or jaksch. but they arent f/a's and we would have to offer something decent up for em in terms of players or picks.
without a doubt frawley would address a need and add immediate quality and depth to an area that lacks in both.

garlett has to be worth a go as well. when was the last time we had a consistent 40 plus sml  goal kicker.

Stuff Frawley. For the coin he wants you would hope to be buying a finals hardened stopper you can back in clutch moments. Would rather try and crowbar someone in their early 20s from GWS or somewhere and someone on the fringe who wouldn't cost the world but would be an upgrade on someone in our side e.g Hunt from Geelong.

Surely one of the best ruck/forward hybrids going around. If he spends time in the F50 he will kick goals, or can be first ruck.

Worth a look: Which unwanted players will find a new home?
Nathan Schmook 
September 12, 2014


IT'S A tough time of the year for some footballers as exit interviews take place and careers at clubs end. But every player has his assets and every club can be tempted by upside.
 
After an outstanding season, ruckman Paddy Ryder would not be short of options on the open market if he did decide to leave Essendon, just as Magpie Dayne Beams would command a long-term deal if pried away from Collingwood.
 
There are lower profile players, however, whose futures in the game are uncertain after either being told their services are no longer required or pushing for a move in search of more opportunities.
 
Some have immaculate CVs, like Ryan O'Keefe, while others haven't found the spotlight in their time in the game.
 
Richmond took a number of risks during last year's drafting period and some didn't work out, with former Brisbane Lions forward Todd Banfield already off the list.
 
It's worth remembering, however, Anthony Miles was an unwanted zone selection at GWS, and now he is a prized member of the Tigers' midfield. He was certainly worth a look, and here are some others that might be in 2014. 


Ryan O'Keefe (Sydney Swans)
Age: 33
Games played in 2014: 4

 
Mitch Clark (Melbourne)
Age: 26
Games played in 2014: 0


Mitch Robinson
Age: 25
Games played 2014: 12


Heritier Lumumba
Age: 27
Games played 2014: 21


Clinton Jones (St Kilda)
Age: 30
Games played in 2014: 16

 
Terry Milera (St Kilda)
Age: 26

I wouldn't mind offering Mitch Duncan a big contract. Don't know what his current situation is but he is the type of outside class that we need. I think he can go to another level too.

Start looking at the GWS kids who are not getting games....they can't keep everyone...think we also need to start looking even further North to another team chock full of young talent who seem to be not as settled, happy or as close to a flag....

RIVAL clubs are circling North Melbourne free agent Robbie Tarrant after the former forward's strong start to 2015 in defence.

Injuries have limited Tarrant to 46 games since he was taken by North with pick No.15 in the 2007 national draft, but the 26-year-old has been a revelation since shifting to the backline this season.

Most clubs have been watching closely as Tarrant, 196cm and 97kg, has held his own this year against elite power forwards such as Tom Hawkins, Jarryd Roughead and Travis Cloke.

North recently opened preliminary contract discussions with Tarrant in the hope of re-signing him before he becomes an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season.

But AFL.com.au understands that at least two rival clubs have signalled their preparedness to offer Tarrant up to $400,000 a season to lure him away from Arden Street.

Rival list managers told AFL.com.au it would be reasonable for North to offer Tarrant about $250,000-$300,000 a season plus bonuses to play on at Arden Street.

All agreed he could attract significantly more from opposition clubs, with some saying offers of up $450,000-$500,000 a year were possible.

Gold Coast players :

Zac Smith
Tim Sumner
Andrew Boston
Daniel Gorringe
Roy Thompson

Clay Cameron
Aaron Hall
Michael Rischetelli

If the story about Hannebury from the swans is true and the fact we made a huge play for the Melbourne  boy pre season it appears we are hell bent on getting another quality midfielder and in and under one to boot..you can never have enough quality in the mid field

TRELOAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great goal scoring mid.
What would we have to give up?
Our first round pick which is 13-15 roughly at this stage plus what else?
And what $$$ does he get offered?

In every game I have seen him in this year, he has been outstanding. Better than Sheil. Really need to go after this kid!!!!

Definitely a first round pick, with a player, $$ won't bother us.

Coniglio, Treloar and Dixon.

Would need to trade probably Vickery and/or Griff to make it happen.

Treloar and Motlop or Prestia would be a great off season IMHO.

Well that's a shame, could have given the first pick we have plus Conca off to WC for their first pick, traded onto GWS for Treloar...2 first round picks.

Post by: Andyy on June 29, 2015, 02:59:50 PM
If Treloar signs we need to go hard for Coniglio and I would like a shot at Dixon too.

Conca + pick for Coniglio. Have to pay for him.
Griff/Vickery + pick for Dixon. Also have to pay the price.

Dixon already kicked 5

Many players that are that good as a forward, can kick ass ass a defender

Pavilion, n Riewoldt, probably Dixon

Most good forwards stay forward. If a forward is kicking goals why would you send them back?
Title: Re: Who do we need and want, with our salary cap room?
Post by: Stalin on July 05, 2015, 10:10:32 PM
If Treloar does go we still have Steele, Ahern and soon Hopper and Kennedy waiting in the wings so where still in a very strong position to play finals next year and really there is no other team that is as deep and talented as our midfield group made up of Shiel, Griffen, Scully, Ward, Coniglio, Whitfield, Kelly, Steele, Palmer, WHE, Tomlinson, Bugg, Ahern, and soon Hopper and Matt Kennedy.
 

Plus Greene Smith Wilson Pickett Barrett
 



Greedy bastards
