The "big fish" is not the answer.

Look at Sydney - their 10 million dollar man is not even available for the finals ( not making light of mental health issues)

Like many I thought adding Ben Cousins to our 2008 list would automatically result in finals in 2009 - that dream ended half way through round 1.

Nathan Brown was awesome until he broke his leg - and then it was apparent how much he was carrying the team.

I really like how we have rebuilt our list during difficult times - we have retained all our stars. Exciting times ahead.

Agreed, but there's some huge talent on the market at the moment, and most believe we're 1 'A' grader away from giving it a genuine push (of which I subscribe).

We're not offering massive overs, and have enough in the cap.

We're in a far stronger position than when cousins came across, and N Brown was unfortunate, but was just about the only genuine star (aside from Richo).

What sort of crap is that comment, go read the article again, what the hell do you think it means. Benny Gayle has been crapping on all year about it to. But you can go find that article.

"If they become available" wtf is Trloar and Dangerfield then???

Quote
Hardwick said Richmond had not been able to compete with the offers of other clubs when stars such as Chris Judd had come on the market.

true we were broke. does he say we will be able to get said player, or compete with other clubs for their services?

Quote
Hardwick said the money raised through the fund would allow the club to retain its stars by paying 100 per cent of its salary cap, and create a "war chest" to recruit the best available talent.

Part A is completed, we have kept all our big fish in the pond, but i know you think thats not important. Part b is true, the money is there and has been offered to treloar, danger and kruezer, that we know of.

Quote
"We can go out and hunt the best players, so that if Chris Judd does become available again, Richmond are well and truly in the market," he told the AFL website.

again has he said i promise you we will get one, or has he said we will have the money to be in the market?

and yes as said we have the money and we have bandied it about.

so which part specifically do i need to read to see where the club has lied?

retained who? the only people playing like stars are Jack Riewoldt and Alex Rance. Miles is doing a great job. The rest are having a lend of us all. Go get some great players who can perform on the big stage not Moneyball players who will fail at the first big hurdle.

Post by: dwaino on September 14, 2015, 12:57:53 PM
Who is there? Hannebery re-signed, Dangerfield is going home to Geelong, Treloar wants to go to Colonwood supposedly to reunite with his U16s coach (or the under the table Westpac deals, either way he doesn't want to come), Carlisle is a massive whimp that loses the plot too easily and in no way worth the first rounder you would need though Carlton are talking about just taking him in the PSD and he seems ok with that.

Who are the big fish? Luey is another Hampson and can't even get a kick at Brisbane, Aish is gettable but will only be a third year player and has spent his second season for whatever reason plodding in the twos, Henderson is a decent swing man but isn't much more than a role player.

There are only value choices left. If we can get Yarran for a second rounder then that's value. Pushing someone off the bottom of the list like Gordon is a good return from the cost of a second rounder. Aish with a first might be a bit rich but at least he's a known value. WCE might want too much for someone like Lycett who I think is contracted and is their first back up ruck though Kruezer wouldn't cost anything more than salary cap space. Yet none of these options are massive improvements which is why I don't think the list is that bad. I'm more under the impression that the instruction just isn't good enough.

You raise some good points about what's available
According to Robbo on SEN today Treloar was line ball with pies/tigers. Sounds like they were just more persistent.
Perhaps the club needs to think outside of the square for list management improvent, be honest with themselves and target our needs rather than persist with what has delivered.
