According to Tiger71 on the BF podcast last night:

* We're having a crack at two forwards next offseason. It times with Riewoldt retiring at the end of next year. We'll trade players out to get the currency.

* One of the forwards is Ben King. We've been showing interest over the past 8-10 months. If King hasn't re-signed with the Suns by the middle of next year then we're in with a show.

* They also mentioned as the other option - Jacob Koschitzke or Jake Riccardi. Hoping they may be a cheap option.

The out-of-contract target your AFL club should be scouting throughout 2023

Richmond

Hayden McLean

After a sizeable off-season that saw the Tigers pull in GWS star duo Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper, Richmond are likely to be in for a quieter trade period.

Their backline needs no adjustment, while their new recruits replenish their midfield for the coming seasons while Shai Bolton, Jayden Short and Tyler Sonsie look to rotate through the middle.

One area the Tigers are potentially needing more coverage for is their tall forward options, with triple premiership spearhead Jack Riewoldt likely entering his final year in the AFL.

A new forward piece to partner Tom Lynch in attack will be atop Richmond's wishlist, with a target that can also pinch-hit in the ruck an added bonus.

Swans tall Hayden McLean fits the mould for Richmond's recruiting plan, with the Beaumaris product a promising aerial threat that can slot into the forward line as well as work in tandem with Toby Nankervis.

Off-contract and seen as no certainty to feature in John Longmire's best 22-man side, the fifth-year Swan could consider a return to Victoria.

As I have been recovering from concussion, had one of my good mates that shares solid mail tell me about a target or two. I will be getting it confirmed on the weekend and will share it once I trust it. If right, our backline will be sorted for awhile.

NO OFFER FOR PROMISING BOMBER

Essendon are in no rush to extend the contract of first-round draftee Ben Hobbs, having not tabled a contract offer to the tough second-year midfielder.

Opposition clubs are monitoring Hobbs’ situation – including the fact he has not played at AFL level this season, after 17 games last year – and starting to inquire about his potential availability.

https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/money-talks-rival-clubs-monitoring-first-round-bomber-change-for-roo-dee-hits-pause-20230403-p5cxng.html

Would we be one of those opposition clubs?

Allegedly, we had interest in Hobbs in his draft year but when Gibcus was available at our first pick instead we jumped to grab him instead.

We must let Broady go as a FA and get a pick around 30 for it. He has been a wonderful servant  for us but something needs to give in order to get back into this draft.

I can’t see any other trade value for us unless we let Nano go, which the way he is playing might be an option.

Add another $50,000 on Harry Himmelberg’s free agency contract after his remarkable match-winning (and saving) last two minutes against Hawthorn.

Sydney is keen, Adelaide is keen, GWS wants to keep him.

What better reminder that he can actually influence games for a club that might have to pay a total of $3.5 to $4 million for his services.

The Swans are keen to add Giants free agent Harry Himmelberg to their backline, according to veteran AFL reporter Damien Barrett.

Brisbane midfielder Deven Robertson looms as a player of interest for Victorian clubs, reports the Herald Sun.

Third club joins race for Himmelberg

Aidan Cellini
Sporting News
Apr 25


GWS free agent Harry Himmelberg will be one of the most sought after players come the end of the year, with three clubs rumoured to be circling.

Sydney and Richmond have been flagged as the two leading sides in the competition if Himmelberg opts to leave the Giants, while Brisbane is reportedly another one.

Journalist Mitch Cleary dropped the news on his new podcast called: Tradies podcast.

“There are a lot of clubs chasing him,” Cleary said.

“I’d have Sydney and Richmond right at the pointy end for Harry Himmelberg.”

Co-host Sam McClure added: “I’d have Richmond in front.”

“Not discounting a little dark horse in Brisbane,” Cleary added.

For Himmelberg, a switch to Punt Road would be aided by the fact that two great mates, Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper, made the move at the end of last year.

here we go another million dollar 8 year contract?

turns 27 this year . are we that close? No for me.

Id bank the cash and make a play for Ben King using dustys money.

If the pies can find duds like frampton and johnson to fill roles im sure we can.

Sadly, broad may have to go. he would be worth a pick in the 20's im sure of that. Hopefully he goes to eagles for a 4 year deal.

HH is about to turn 27 and will cost 800k for a season.

another mitch mcgovern for me. Does he ever string consecutive good games this bloke? I wouldnt know.

also he wouldnt be free, we would have to trade wouldnt we.

If Broad, his wife and bub (once bub arrives) want to head home to WA I wouldn't begrudge them. Would love him to stay because as lastcweek showed we are a better side with him there. But family comes first ...

HH would be free Frankie, he's a FA

HH is a free agent so will only cost us $, not draft capital.  No brainer.

We could cash in some players (Graham, Broad, Soldo, Vlastuin etc) and line up picks in the 2nd and 3rd rounds but our recent drafting has shown that this part of the draft is hit and miss.  We really need a top 5 pick to bring in an A grader.  Only player that I think we could trade for that sort of pick is Bolton.  He is elite no doubt but more of a cream on top player and, unfortunately, we don't really have the cake to put the cream on top of at this stage.

I had that wrong, i thought we had to trade much like cats did for danger etc or was that a goodwill thing? When we were winning i didnt pay attention to the draft, which seems the club didnt either.

bolton wont go after signing IMO and is only 24. Unfortunately we have to find gems with these picks, or trade future picks to get in this draft?

Who are the cats elite a graders? Perhaps we have underestimated the cats in what they have done. I go through their list and take danger out of the midfield who else they got?

IMO we screwed up with one of these gws picks because we thought were close to a flag. That is the only reason we got both so i hope we finish around 10th or higher. Recruiters need to do their job and not miss out on players who fill a need like Jacob van rooyen.

Simplest way to get the top 5 pick is to do a Hawthorn and release multiple established players this year then play the kids all through 2024. Will result in a bottom 5 finish

HH would be a quick fix for losing Jack, as I don’t believe Ryan is a long term replacement. But depends on the cost.. we won’t pick up a decent forward in this draft atleast unless we acquire more picks so I wouldn’t be totally against acquiring him to try and keep us afloat a little.

I'm not against going a bit harder for HH to join us. It will be like the Robbie Tarrant trade where we just need him to stem the bleeding. Grimes is on his last legs so he could plug the hole there for a couple of seasons or alternatively up forward with Jack nearing the end.

I don't really want to pay over the cap. I don't know who else is, but it just seems like blatant mismanagement to me.

But I'd love to know how we think we're getting value if we're currently paying the cap.

Maybe too many coaches on big coin? If they're in for the long-term and for premierships then, like the players, they might need to sacrifice a bit to get more help in and get back to the top.

From Jon Ralph in the HeraldSun:

10. Harry Himmelberg (GWS)

In a league where most of the elite intercept defenders are signed up, Himmelberg represents the best available option apart from Ben McKay as an available free agent.

His beauty is his versatility – this year he has played 68 per cent forward, 23 per cent ruck and eight per cent in defence.

He went back again on the weekend given the Giants’ defensive line is ravaged by injury but has been held goalless only once this year and ranks elite for score assists.

Richmond and GWS are keen.

Essendon will sign Darcy Parish but is hopeful it can get Zach Reid up for the last six weeks of the season to see if he is capable of holding down full back.

If not, they could emerge as a player for Himmelberg.

Probably would get the same type of money Riewoldt got at his peak, but is not even a quarter of the player Jack is. That's FA though I guess.

Port Adelaide forward Mitch Georgiades will discuss whether there is a role for him in the Power’s packed forward line before he makes a decision on a lucrative new contract.

Georgiades has ample Victorian interest and would like to stay at the Power.

But he is in a unique position because he is a second forward, who cannot play ruck, given he is only 192cm

Georgiades will likely secure a contract of over $600,000 whether he leaves or stays.

Not sure how appealing we are to upcoming free agents atm but given we badly need a key forward, we should be all over Nick Larkey. Think he’s a RFA at the end of next season and we have plentyyyy of money coming off the books at the end of this and next year and then looking even further, lynches deal is up the season after that.

Or we just keep poaching quality players from our two development teams.  :shh

I’ve been a big supporter of Riccardi to Richmond for a couple of seasons now.

If that doesn’t work then we could give Will Day a couple of years with his old mate Lynch until we find another young forward to take his place ie. Ben King.

It’s not hard to lure these blokes unfortunately for them they play for a soulless non entity and would bust a nut to play for a club with a long history (non cheating) with the best song, the best culture, the best colours and the best mascot.  :gotigers Our club sells itself.

Makes Blair’s job one of the easiest jobs in the world.
I would be shocked if his team hasn’t already done deals for the next two seasons

Yeah let’s poach everyone and  up like the blues(pies)  having to eventually salary dump those players anyway
.
I’m not against HH but what another 5-7 year contract?  :shh
He is 28 next year and we aren’t contending.

I think our recruiting  has been terrible and they are to blame as much as anyone. Amazing they couldn’t find one half forward they are willing to play to help jack. No ash Johnson anywhere in the country, ffs even mason cox is doing good things.

WHO CAN SECURE THE JACK BOWES 2.0 DEAL?

Clubs are lining up to try and prise Gold Coast’s first pick off the club in this year’s exchange period as part of a salary dump deal.

The Suns last year traded Jack Bowes to Geelong which came with pick seven as well because the Cats paid all of Bowes’s salary.

This year clubs such as St Kilda, Hawthorn and Essendon will have a crack at a similar deal which could see the Victorian clubs secure the Suns’ first pick as well as a player.

While there remains lots of water to flow under the bridge, Brayden Fiorini has been discussed by Victorian clubs as one player they may target in the same vein as Bowes.

Fiorini, 25, considered a move to Collingwood last year but stayed at Gold Coast after the Magpies zeroed in on Tom Mitchell, from Hawthorn.

The 186cm Fiorini has averaged 16 possessions a game across nine matches this season for the Suns.

Fiorini is certainly better than his 16 possessions / week would suggest but I doubt we have the cash to take on his full contract if the suns are prepared to throw a first rounder in also but if they can make it work I would consider it.

Is HH on 800k per year the best we can do with that money in the whole country?

Pies get blokes like ash Johnson for a third of that.

He was very underwhelming yesterday and IMV has a touch of the Mitch McGoverns about him in terms of output.

28 next year as well. Not convinced but that’s me.

It's stuffing ludicrous if someone pays him 800. Should be on half that.

800 should get you a premium forward for sure.

Collingwood named as latest suitor in race for GWS star

Mitch Keating
zerohanger.com
June 7, 2023


Collingwood have emerged as the latest rival club linked to GWS free agent Harry Himmelberg, who is seen more likely to leave the Giants than re-sign with the club for 2024.

Himmelberg has already gained reported suitors in Richmond, Sydney and Brisbane this year as he weighs up his future in the Harbour City, being one of seven restricted free agents in the AFL in 2023.

The versatile key position talent would be a tempting asset for clubs to consider moving on given his ability to hold down a role comfortably at either end of the field, with the Tigers likely seeing Himmelberg as an answer to life after Jack Riewoldt in attack, while the Swans and Lion could call on the Canberra junior to aid their defensive woes.

The Giants have labelled Himmelberg as an "enormous priority" for their retention plans for the future, however a deal is yet to be signed after the 27-year-old hit pause on contract talks through the early periods of this season.

While Himmelberg is seen to be treading water as the end of his contract nears its expiry, Collingwood have been named as the latest club showing some level of interest in the 195cm swingman.

Speaking on the Tradies Podcast, journalist Sam McClure said the Pies are also in consideration, but are likely coming to the table with a shorter offer than the likes of Richmond or Sydney.

"We can add Collingwood to the mix as well," McClure said on the Himmelberg race.

"Collingwood might have to move a few things around, and we know they went after and got Dan McStay last year. We know they're not the same player, but not dissimilar.

"Given (they've got) Howe, Murphy, Moore and Frampton down back, you would think if they're going after Himmelberg it would be as a forward.

"Himmelberg just makes sense at Collingwood because he's an excellent kick, a good decision make and he's versatile. What we know about Craig McRae is that he loves versatility with his players. There's so many players that can add so many elements to Collingwood's game.

"I don't think they're going to be as potentially high-paying as some of the other teams that are interested in Himmelberg, but right now the aura surrounding Collingwood is worth something more than money per year."

As recently as last week the Giants expressed their confidence in retaining Himmelberg beyond this season, with the club's Academy graduate seen to be satisfied with life in Sydney's west.

According to McClure, while Himmelberg is happy in the orange and charcoal, there is a view he is more likely to depart at season's end, with Richmond seen as the leading landing spot for his services.

"Don't discount the Giants, he's happy there. He's happy where he's living," McClure said.

"He's always been a Giant, but I would have him more likely to go than stay. I still think he'll go, but the Giants aren't completely without hope.

"... I'd have Richmond one, Sydney two and Collingwood three (for ranking the interest clubs). But very much a moveable feast week to week."

Himmelberg has played 138 games for the Giants since making his debut in 2016, booting 159 goals.

While Himmelberg is said to be happy living in Sydney, he does have close friends who live and play in Melbourne, including former teammate Tim Taranto, who is dominating in his first season at Punt Road.

Himmelberg, according to at least two clubs contacted by The Scoop, could command as much as $900,000 per season, if he were to leave the Giants.

A long-term deal at that price would trigger first-round compensation, meaning GWS could have three first-round picks in the upcoming draft.

Greater Western Sydney is prepared to offer its star free agent Harry Himmelberg a five-year deal to retain his signature, with talks over his future expected to ramp up in the coming weeks.

https://www.afl.com.au/news/944950/what-giants-will-offer-harry-hawk-in-talks-saint-hits-trigger

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

Garry Lyon has scoffed at a report that GWS free agent Harry Himmelberg could command as much as $900,000 with his next contract.

The likes of Richmond, Sydney, Collingwood and Essendon have been linked with Himmelberg, but Lyon cannot fathom the numbers being thrown around.

“Harry Himmelberg is a $550,000-a-year player. $900,000? In what world is Harry Himmelberg worth $900,000? I know you’ve got to pay to get them out,” the Melbourne great told SEN Breakfast.

“If you’re paying him anywhere over $650,000, then you’re paying way too much.

“I read someone suggest he could be worth $900,000. No, he is not.”

AFL Media journalist Callum Twomey broke down the market for Himmelberg and why the price tag could reach that level.

“I think there’s about 10 clubs that are looking at him, the Giants want to keep him, I think the SA clubs (Crows and Power) would look at him as well,” he said.

“There is a free agency tax that applies to these guys to get them out. Dan McStay last year left Brisbane on a five-year contract worth about $600,000. So there’s extra money for these departing free agents.

“I still think there’s a chance he stays at the Giants. They’re still confident that he stays, but Richmond is linked, the Swans are linked, he’s going to be settling into the backline in the second half of the season so that is all a watch.

“I think for him be ripped out of GWS, it’s going to be between $700,000 and $800,000.”

Lyon added after the last comment: “He should sprint out the door if he gets that”.

Greater Western Sydney has offered Harry Himmelberg a new long-term deal and is confident he will stay despite his free agency status.

Rival clubs including Sydney and Richmond are interested in dragging Himmelberg out of the Giants given his capacity to play as a dangerous forward or intercept defender.

GWS football boss Jason McCartney said during the week the club was prepared to offer him a deal as long as five seasons.

On Sunday he confirmed that the Giants had finally lodged a deal with Himmelberg’s agent David Trotter at Hemisphere Management.

The Giants believe the Riverina-raised 27-year-old wants to stay at the club.

While GWS might have secured a top-10 compensation pick if Himmelberg departed as a free agent he said the Giants were desperate to retain such a valuable asset.

ONE FUN FAKE TRADE IDEA FOR EACH AFL TEAM

Andrew Slevison & Nic Negrepontis
SEN
23 June 2023


We’ve decided to put together one trade for all 18 teams with the aim of building something both fun and capable of filling a need in 2024. Of course, these are all hypothetical, and as the headline suggests, just a bit of fun.

NOTE: All draft picks are based on indicative draft order after AFL Round 14

(https://images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/XJY56qJcUzAA8ZfxfZGXm/dee60ab55a43a51073c88025240384b2/AFL_Club_banners_-_2022-10-12T153956.739.png)

Richmond receives: Mitch Georgiades, Pick 73

Port Adelaide receives: Jack Graham, Pick 26

Richmond must soon recruit a key forward for life after Jack Riewoldt.

It’s unclear whether the 34-year-old goes around again in 2024, but regardless, the Tigers need someone to replace him sooner than later.

Most of the very best tall forwards are already locked away by their respective clubs, but there are some on the market who could be of interest to the Tigers.

Port Adelaide’s Mitch Georgiades is out of contract this year and could be keen on a change of scenery to revitalise his career. Even if a return to Western Australia is a greater possibility, the prospect of playing for a big Melbourne club might be enticing.

Georgiades is currently out with a ruptured ACL, which will sideline him for part of next season, but at 21 he is a player for the future.

One current Tiger who might possibly be used to help fill their key forward vacancy is Adelaide native Jack Graham.

Graham was a target for the Power last year but opted to stay put at Punt Road. He has had an up and down 2023 to date, however, his most recent form has been solid. He could provide depth behind Travis Boak and Ollie Wines add a hard edge to the Power midfield which will be run by Zak Butters, Connor Rozee and Jason Horne-Francis for the next decade.

In a perfect world, the Tigers would love to keep him, but may have to give up something if they wanted to lure Georgiades away from Alberton.

Given both players are out of contract this year, a straight swap could work for all parties involved, but the Power might want a better draft pick to subsidise the deal so we’ll thrown in an exchange of fourth and second-round picks.


(https://images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/1c2J83m8mZO2SPv8L4py2d/280534a2be943e42846d20710d1c022b/AFL_Club_banners_-_2022-10-12T152725.093.png)

Gold Coast receives: Noah Cumberland, Pick 63

Richmond receives: Pick 47, Pick 56 and Pick 65

Noah Cumberland, a native Sunshine Coast boy, has shown a ton of promise at Richmond, but hasn’t quite nailed down a spot in the club’s best 22. The 22-year-old is contracted for 2024 and would be a fun addition to a Suns forward line alongside Bailey Humphrey, Ben King, Jack Lukosius and Mabior Chol.

With Alex Sexton likely on the way out of the club, Cumberland looms as a younger version and somebody with a huge upside going forward at AFL level.

Harry Himmelberg
Contract expires 2023
Clubs are becoming a little frustrated that Himmelberg has left everyone so in the dark about his contract plans. The Giants are already paying him good money and have offered a deal worth at least five seasons. But Richmond, Collingwood, Sydney Swans and Essendon are all queuing up to land the versatile aerialist. Would hurt the Giants if another one walked.

Jake Riccardi
Contract expires 2023
Hawthorn has had a look at the roaming forward whose job security could be threatened by top draft pick Aaron Cadman. Looks a great pick at selection 51 in the 2018 draft from St Bernard’s and Werribee.

Mitch Georgiades
Contract expires 2023
All the talk has been about the West Australian clubs coming hard for the injured goalkicker, but don’t rule Victorian clubs making a late play. The pull home has been overstated a touch and if Georgiades does request a fresh start – he wasn’t in Ken Hinkley’s before that ACL injury – a Melbourne or Collingwood would make sense. If Port could turn Georgiades into Esava Ratugolea it would be a win.

SUNS ROOKIE ATTRACTS RIVAL INTEREST

Gold Coast forward Brodie McLaughlin only landed a shot on a list in February, but now more AFL clubs are keeping a close eye on his contract status beyond 2023.

The 25-year-old earned a deal for this season after being signed by Gold Coast during the pre-season supplemental selection period, following a meteoric rise from the fifth tier of the Ammos to the VFL and then to the AFL.

Since then, McLaughlin has emerged as one of the best mobile key forwards not getting a game in the AFL this year.

With Levi Casboult commanding the third spot alongside Ben King and Jack Lukosius in Stuart Dew’s forward line, McLaughlin has booted 34 goals from 12 games to lead the Jim 'Frosty' Miller Medal by three goals after 14 rounds.

McLaughlin kicked 5.1 against Box Hill at Heritage Bank Stadium on Sunday, following 6.3 against Geelong in round two, 4.1 against North Melbourne in round five and four other sets of three in his first season at the Suns.

Fremantle and St Kilda were understood to be two clubs that monitored him during the pre-season before he was offered a spot at the Suns, while Hawthorn, Richmond and West Coast could be in the market for a mobile forward in October.

McLaughlin is settled in Queensland and believed to be keen to remain at the Suns, but it yet to secure a deal for 2024.

Mick McGuane: The left-field out-of-contract names your club should target this off-season

Mick McGuane
HeraldSun
June 29, 2023


Liam Henry (Fremantle), 21, 34 AFL games

Who could do with him: St Kilda, Richmond

He had a career-best game last week with 32 possessions against Essendon. But with an eye to the future, St Kilda need to start thinking who is going to replace Bradley Hill. Who is going to play that high half-forward/wing role and cover the ground and use the ball well to do some damage when attacking the game. With the uncertainty hovering over the Marlon Pickett situation, Richmond should get in the conversation.



TALL TIGER
Ivan Soldo (Richmond), 27, 50 games


Who could benefit: GWS Giants, Port Adelaide, West Coast

Soldo is contracted but has only played one game so far this year. Toby Nankervis is clearly their number one ruck choice and the growth in Samson Ryan’s game has been rapid and there for all to see. If the Giants lose the uncontracted Matthew Flynn to another club, Soldo becomes a back up option for them but I wouldn’t be surprised if other clubs, who are short of ruck stocks might try to entice him out of Tigerland. Interesting times ahead.

Tigers keen on early pick

Jon Ralph, Glenn McFarlane and Jay Clark
HeraldSun
5 July 2023


Richmond is keen to get back into the first round of the 2023 draft and has its eyes set on Gold Coast’s pick, which is currently at pick 7.

The Suns are hopeful of securing all three of their academy kids who could fall in the top 10 in the draft order - potential top 5 key talls Jed Walter and Ethan Read and midfielder Jake Rogers.

The Suns have already stockpiled plenty of extra selections to use as points, having secured the Giants’ and Adelaide’s second-round picks and Collingwood and Adelaide’s third-round picks.

But Richmond has aspirations to secure a first-round selection after trading their 2023 first-rounder in the Jacob Hopper deal and could give up a package that provides more draft points than the No. 7 pick for the Suns’ selection.

The Tigers have been vindicated on trading picks 12 and 19 to the Giants for Tim Taranto.

But their current first round pick which is in GWS’ keeping is at No. 4 so they will want to make a finals surge so they don’t hand over such a cherished pick.

It’s not even worthy of printing that dribble. Of course we want pick 7 - why wouldn’t we? But how are we going to achieve that, what the hell do we have in collateral to even get pick 30 let alone pick 7.

Given the Suns have academy kids to pick up, collecting more draft points is worth more to them than a single late top 10 pick. So, the Suns will be looking to turn their first round pick into more draft points than what their first pick is worth.

For example:

Gold Coast's current Pick 7 is worth 1644 points.

We're currently 15th. So, our 2nd rounder (#22) is worth 845 points.

We could swap our future 2nd for an early-mid 2nd rounder in this year's draft as well as trade someone out for another 3rd rounder.

Our current 2nd:              845 (pick 22)
Swapped 2nd:                  703 (pick 27)
Our current 3rd:              412 (pick 41)
Our current 4th:              158 (pick 59)
--------------------------------------
Total                              2118 points.

Suns gain an extra 474 draft points from the deal in picks 22, 27, 41, 59 to use to pick up their academy kids.

We might ask for the Suns' future 3rd in return to roughly even up the deal (in terms of points) across two drafts.

We end up with pick 7 and the traded 3rd round pick this year and will have our 1st, two 3rds, 4th rounders for the 2024 draft.

SUNS TO ‘ABSOLUTELY CONSIDER’ TRADING TOP PICK

Gold Coast recruiting manager Kall Burns says his club will “absolutely consider” parting with its first pick to help it prepare for, what now seems, an inevitable early rival club bidding spree on three star Suns academy draft prospects.

Richmond has been linked to a possible play for that Gold Coast selection.

Elsewhere, Melbourne, Western Bulldogs, St Kilda, Adelaide, Essendon, and Fremantle all appear well placed to strike a deal with the Suns, should they wish to trade, while North Melbourne and Sydney could have the points that appeal to the Suns if the former two wanted to improve their second-pick positions.

Burns told AFL Media’s Gettable that no club had approached the Suns about trading the pick yet.

The bare forwards market and how clubs are going to get inventive

Jon Ralph
HeraldSun
July 11, 2023 - 3:23PM


Jack Riewoldt is going down swinging.

The future Hall of Famer and triple Coleman Medallist would love to be playing as Robin to Tom Lynch’s Batman with a favourable match-up each week as he eases into retirement.

Instead as Richmond surges back into finals contention with Lynch sidelined he is taking one for the team.

Goalless in five of his past nine games, he is still battling manfully to bring the ball to ground like he did in that 2017 season playing alongside five Richmond smalls.

But a Richmond side refusing to go quietly into the night clearly needs a succession plan for Riewoldt (24 goals) given it is 11th for points scored this season with Samson Ryan (12 goals) the only other key forward in double figures.

Tom Lynch will return next year after a season decimated by a foot injury but for all of Ryan’s potential Richmond desperately needs a second target by round 1 of 2024.

As the AFL home-and-away season winds down Richmond are far from the only club scouting key position forwards.

So who are key position targets available for that quartet of clubs in what is an extremely modest market?

Hawthorn, Richmond and St Kilda will have to sort the wheat from the chaff in what is a bare key position forward market this off-season.

1. Harry Himmelberg (GWS)

Himmelberg is a free agent, is considering his options and kicked 38 goals in 2019 and 36 in 2021.

Richmond is just one of his suitors as they hope to reunite him with good mates Jacob Hopper and Tim Taranto at the Tigers.

But he is already exceptionally well paid – $700,000-$800,000 in this year’s AFL Rich 100 and has slotted in perfectly as the intercept tall in a GWS backline with Sam Taylor and Jack Buckley doing the heavy lifting.

With Adam Kingsley building a great culture at GWS the prevailing view of rival clubs is he might just stay.

The GWS academy product would need to balance the lure of playing in front of huge Victorian crowds with the added attention and pressure of playing key forward, aware no one has missed Tim Taranto for his deficiencies despite a brilliant debut season at Richmond.

Is it financially irresponsible to throw $800,000 a season at a player better suited down back?

2. Mitch Georgiades (Port Adelaide)

Georgiades wants to know if Port Adelaide will hand him ample opportunities in coming seasons after he was dropped to the SANFL this year and last season before his ACL tear.

Port Adelaide will whisper sweet nothings to the 21-year-old uncontracted tall but how often will he play alongside Charlie Dixon (soon to be recontracted), Todd Marshall and Jeremy Finlayson?

Especially given Ollie Lord, contracted to 2024, is hugely rated within Port Adelaide for his capacity to lead hard and straight at the ball?

So Richmond, Hawthorn and St Kilda would have to decide if they could pay $600,000 or so a season for a player dropped in the past two seasons who at 191cm is very much a foil rather than the No. 1 forward?

And who is coming off a mid-season knee reconstruction.

The upside is obvious – 32.17 in his second season, 23.24 in his third – for a player who only turns 22 in September.

Clubs need to decide if he is the style of forward they need given he is boom or bust – the seventh worst loss-rate of the top 50 for one-on-one contests this year but the 16th best win-rate.

In other words, not a consistent pack-crasher to bring the smalls into the game but exceptional when his hands are sticky and he drifts in from the side of a pack to mark and goal.

3. Harrison Jones (Essendon)

The potential is obvious for key position talent Jones, whose early seasons have been ravaged by injuries including a back stress fracture that has seen him shut down already this year.

35 goals in 31 games averaging over a contested mark a game, a pair of games in 2021 with five contested marks playing as a 20-year-old.

He’s not the quick fix Richmond might be after but at St Kilda and Hawthorn he would grow alongside their developing talls.

The question is why he would leave Essendon given the opportunity that is ahead of him if he can get his body right.

So if Essendon offers the kind of contract this year that represents his potential it might be hard to drag him out of the Hangar.

4. Tom De Koning (Carlton)

De Koning wants to ruck.

He will always be the second ruckman behind Marc Pittonet at Carlton.

But if he does move St Kilda is interested in him as a second forward behind Max King who also releases Rowan Marshall to play forward.

Marshall’s monster season has moved him into All Australian calculations but he still has only a solitary goal this year (he kicked 13 in 2020) which shows how seldom he is able to roam forward under the current structure.

Here is the worrying number for De Koning.

In 50 AFL games he has kicked only 16 goals.

He has won only three of his 15 one-on-one contests this season.

This year in nine senior games playing a 73-27 ruck-forward split he has only four goals.

It would be a leap of faith to think he can transform into a 40-goal-a-season forward given this is his sixth AFL season.

If he truly wants to maximise his career as a ruckman Geelong is his perfect landing spot but St Kilda might offer a more lucrative contract to drag him out.

Decision time is coming.

The Blues and Cats might offer $600,000 a season but St Kilda could trump them if they truly believe in De Koning’s potential.

5. Jake Riccardi (GWS)

Hawthorn are an interested party but the problem for rival clubs is that they might have to pay up to $500,000 a year to drag out a player who is pretty much a goal-a-game forward.

He has never kicked more than 16 goals in a season and won only one of his 12 one-on-ones this year.

He has been goalless in five of his 11 games but his best is great – five goals against Fremantle and seven forward-50 marks, three goals and eight score involvements against Hawthorn.

He is 23 turning 24, so if you slotted him into a forward line as the second forward with quality delivery what is his upside?

If clubs are going to pay an above-average salary, will they be guaranteed an above-average output?

6. Jack Darling (West Coast)

At his best Darling has been a weapon and the Eagles should consider all options to maximise their draft hand but Darling is surely too old and too costly.

He has just turned 31 and kicked 15 goals in 13 games this year, and is due as much as $800,000 a season for the next two years.

If he was cheaper Richmond might consider him as a stop-gap for three seasons while Ryan, Ben Miller and Jacob Bauer developed but not at $800,000 a year.

Would the Eagles pay some of Darling’s salary to get a top 30 draft pick in exchange?

They would need to for rival clubs to get interested.

7. Ash Johnson (Collingwood)

He is a jumping jack who kicks goals, he can play second ruck, he is a lovely shot at goal (15.9 last year, 18.9 this year).

Rival clubs have come strongly at him given they believe he has been pushed down the pecking order with the introduction of Dan McStay.

But McStay’s injury issues have given him enough game time this year – 13 games, 18 contested marks – to believe he has a future at the Pies.

That means he is set to be taken off the table as a live prospect as he nears a new deal.

Reckon Gibcus is shortening as a forward by the day.
While I’m still a doubter, Young is definitely improving each week playing the gorilla forward.

Balta, Broad, Grimes
Rioli, Young, Short

Can work as a back 6.

Gibcus can work as a swingman but showed he can lead and is a lovely kick. Can plug gaps down back.

Post by: Diocletian on July 11, 2023, 10:08:08 PM
The fact we're chasing a forward suggests we're not counting on Gibcus to do the job. Also Grimes is half cooked and will more than likely retire at the end of next year. Also depends what plans we have for Bauer & Biggy- the latter I fear will probably be delisted. :shh

Only problem with this is that Grimes is probably going into his last year you'd think. Broad is 30. Doesn't look like Biggie will come on or Miller become a stable back. So we'll need another KPD and Gibcus is probably it.

Need to draft a forward or find someone affordable and serviceable. Bauer? Bradtke? Not a lot to bet on there.

Think the commentators mentioned he was a bit disgruntled with his game time which I don’t see changing with Dixon and Marshall holding down their key posts.

I actually think this issue compounds with no small forwards.
Essendon are being mailed by Stengle, Close and Miers. Not to mention Rohan who also plays in same team who is small/medium. We need targets but also we have neglected our mosquito fleet.

Me too.
Coterie’s in clubs are full of self important, middle aged to elderly men who feel entitled because of the money they put into the club.
Those who think they are entitled to do that or boot someone out for sharing largely token information about the club’s recruiting are losers.

Just the media guessing but the HeraldSun has thrown Soldo's name in with a heap of other players that North may be interested in.

The Kangaroos might need to add an extra defender to the squad next year with Griffin Logue (ACL) to miss next season, which could see them target someone like Adam Tomlinson, while fellow Demon Joel Smith could also be on the radar.

Forgotten Crow Matt Crouch, Cat duo of Brandon Parfitt and Sam Menegola, Richmond big man Ivan Soldo, Essendon’s Nick Hind, St Kilda’s Jack Billings, Bulldogs Buku Khamis, Jordan Sweet and Toby McLean and Swans pair Lewis Melican and Dylan Stephens could also be considered.

You two are showing your lack of football knowledge by constantly taking the pee out of Jack.

Watch how many times he comes off the square and protects Tarranto allowing him to get the clearance. How many times does he run a bloke down with his ferocious pressure only for someone else to take advantage and look good running away with it? He guards the space through the corridor forcing teams to go longer where Balta is waiting to take that intercept mark. With his leadership he is taking a lot of young blokes under his wing and protecting them.

Jack is too much of a team player to get individual accolades such as BnFs, for him it's all about the role and the team. The coaches know this, that's why he gets selected. True supporters and people with high football IQ know this. Port Adelaide realised this and had to throw the kitchen sink at Graham when he was only even in South Australia last off-season to visit his family. Thankfully for us Port strangely decided that Jason Horne-Francis was more valuable and withdrew interest. Their loss obviously and our club is lucky to still have Jack

Sydney youngster Dylan Stephens is facing a big decision this off-season.

According to AFL Media’s Callum Twomey, the 22-year-old is gathering interest from Victorian clubs as he comes out of contract with the Swans.

Now that he’s without a contract for 2024, Twomey branded the former No. 5 pick one to keep an eye on this trade period.

Richmond’s Ivan Soldo will also be a key player in the ruck merry-go-round given his return to the seniors while Toby Nankervis serves his three-week suspension.

-----

Richmond circled Himmelberg, too, with close mates Jacob Hopper and Tim Taranto behind the push to land another Giant at Punt Rd.

But the Giants remain confident they will re-sign the jet swingman on a minimum five-year deal after a move from attack to defence around mid-season.

Callum Twomey in the AFL podcast 'Gettable' mentioned the AFL is negotiating bringing Free Agency forward from eight to six years in exchange for giving clubs more certainty regarding holding onto first round draftees via longer 3-year contracts. That would mean someone like a Ben King would become a FA next year.

The problem is we do not have the picks to do any trades.
Our only option is a free agent and that means an older player.
It also means we have to pay overs to attract anyone.

The reported deal for Himmelburg of 5 years at $800k per year shows the sort of price we would have to pay.

Pick 5 would be very hard to turn down for Dusty. Who we would be keeping on sentiment and without Cotch and Jack, our dynasty era has moved on. If Dusty had played his 300th I'd be ok with him going but part of me really feels he needs to play his 300th for us.

Gold Coast’s first pick, currently No. 5, is expected to be targeted by a number of clubs to help the Suns place bids on their academy players — Jed Walter, Ethan Read and Jake Rogers — with Richmond previously linked to a potential move for the selection.

However, teams are still waiting to see how the ladder finishes at the end of the home and away season given the Suns’ pick could yet slide down.

For me I would never trade dusty as he is the fabric of our dynasty/winning culture and everything which made Richmond a team that was loved/envied/feared etc. I’d want us to honour his contributions to our club and have him play his 300th in yellow and black

I’d trade Bolton though. He is more highlights reel then a week in week out A-grace contributor. He snap and misses from 10 metres out and the tendency to drift out of games when we really need someone to stand up for me means he’s expendable. I’d still demand something high given his potential but he’s the type of player I would try and milk picks out of due to perceived value and potential

Regardless, unless we lose a player or two that's actually got currency I don't see how we have the capital this year to trade for P5.

Do we have the cap space to take on a player and get a pick like Geelong? I don't think so with Lynch, Dusty and Bolton probably on a combined 3.25-3.5 million next year.

Cotch gone, jack gone or on peanuts, get rid of some dead wood and away we go.

no way we wait until dustys contract ends befoe we pounce. Its done in 12 months so move now. Lynch the year after. The longer we wait the longer the pain will be with this list.

Five trade targets for every AFL club: Richmond Tigers

A Swans forward, Dockers midfielder, Demons free agent and more make up our trade targets for Richmond.

Josh De Sa
zerohanger.com
August 15, 2023


Richmond is undoubtedly one of the greatest clubs of the modern era. Winning three flags in four years is an achievement only accomplished by two other sides - Brisbane in 2001, 2002, and 2003 and Hawthorn in 2013, 2014 and 2015. Coached by Damien Hardwick, the dynasty team that won flags in 2017, 2019 and 2020 was one of the best fans have ever seen.

Unfortunately for Richmond, that is not the same team that is playing in 2023. Whilst not having a dramatic drop off in one year, the club has slowly slid back down the ladder as the list gets older. With the retirements of ex-skipper and club legend Trent Cotchin, veteran defender Robbie Tarrant and veteran forward Jack Riewoldt, the club is slowly transitioning away from the side that was once so great.

Additionally, the sudden departure of premiership coach Hardwick midway through the year shook things up. The job for the coaching role at Richmond is still up in the air whilst Hardwick is reportedly making the move to Gold Coast.

It's not the clubs' fault at all by any means. Players age, coaches change, and footy continues to move on. There comes a time for every club where change occurs and it looks as though Richmond is entering that period now. Winning three flags so recently and in such quick succession is something for fans to be forever grateful for. If there's one thing Tigers fans have proved time and time again, it's that they're patient.

As the list begins to show its age and youth is injected into the side, here are five players that we think the Tigers should target in the trade period.


1. Hayden McLean

The Swans struggled early in 2023, unable to live up to expectations. After making the Grand Final in 2022, it seemed all but certain that the side would be up there again, primed for redemption. That unfortunately was not the case, if anything it was the complete opposite. With a mix of injury concerns and players generally underperforming, not much was going right.

Lance Franklin went down injured multiple times throughout the year and was unable to put together a consistent campaign. The AFL icon recently announced his retirement from the game which has made room for forward Hayden McLean to step up. McLean has played all but two games in 2023 and has been a solid contributor to his side.

The Tigers have struggled to score this season after losing star forward Tom Lynch in Round 4 before being ruled out for the year. With Lynch's fitness in question and Jack Riewoldt's departure incoming, the need for a key forward is there. Standing at 197cm tall, 24-year-old McLean could be ready to take on the role at the Tigers. As an added bonus, McLean can play as a second ruckman alongside Toby Nankervis, allowing rotating assets like defender Noah Balta to remain in the backline.

It'll be interesting to see how Sydney manages McLean as they look towards a life without 'Buddy', but the Tigers should consider the big man as they enter a slight rebuild period.

Position: Forward
2023 Season Avg
12.1 disposals
4.1 marks
0.9 goals


2. Liam Henry

Dockers midfielder Liam Henry has turned a corner in 2023. The 21-year-old was questioned over form early in the season after missing Rounds 5 - 12. Since his return in Round 13, Henry has played every game since for a total of 14 so far this season. He's been much more impressive in his second stint in the side this year, even adding a couple of high-possession games to his name.

After initially being drafted as a small forward, Henry struggled to maintain his spot in the side during 2021 and 2022. He is clearly a much better midfielder and has proven that this season. For the Dockers, Henry provides plenty of spread and speed through midfield whilst allowing clearance machines Andrew Brayshaw and Caleb Serong to do the heavy lifting.

In transition is where Henry shines as he is often the middle man in moving the ball from the backline to his forward teammates. Playing as a winger, Henry could be a handy inclusion for the Tigers. With current wingers Kamdyn McIntosh and Marlion Pickett, the need for a younger and arguably more capable speedster is there.

Due to Henry's form improvements, it's uncertain if a move is on the cards for him. The boy from Tammin, Western Australia may also want to play out his career at home but a prestigious club like Richmond will always have an appeal.

Position: Midfielder
2023 Season Avg
20.1 disposals
2.8 tackles
1.3 clearances


3. Jeremy Sharp

Gold Coast utility Jeremy Sharp has been unlucky in 2023. The 22-year-old hasn't managed a single senior game this year despite being a contributor in 2022, playing 12 games. Sharp hasn't been given an opportunity for consistent AFL footy even since ex-coach Stuart Dew's departure earlier this year.

Heading towards the trade period, Sharp could be looking elsewhere for a move and the Tigers could be possible suitors. Standing at 189cm tall, the midfielder would inject some youth into the side following the departure of Trent Cotchin. At VFL level, Sharp averages a respectable 22 disposals and just shy of a goal a game.

Although not much has been seen of the youngster having only played a total of 23 senior games across four years, there's plenty of upside in the midfielder and Richmond could be a place to showcase his talent. The Tigers have a knack for taking Gold Coast players and turning them into stars, most notably Dion Prestia and Tom Lynch.

Could Sharp be another Sun that shines brighter at the Tigers?

Melbourne free agent James Jordon has strung together a fairly solid 2023 campaign. Used as both midfielder and in the forward line where needed, Jordon showed his class throughout the year due to the absence of gun midfielder Clayton Oliver. Whilst his best was most definitely solid, on a handful of occasions Jordon had relatively quiet games.

Nevertheless, at only 22 years of age, playing consistent footy for a side like Melbourne comes with great benefits. Playing weekly for a successful side does wonders for confidence and overall talent growth. Being surrounded in midfield by the likes of Brownlow contender Christian Petracca, Angus Brayshaw, Lachie Hunter and of course, ruckman Max Gawn would be greatly beneficial from a learning perspective.

With plenty of experience on his side and already proving his ability to play on-ball in a quality side, Jordon moving to Richmond could be a possibility. Whilst Melbourne clearly has Jordon in their favour, the one area they don't lack in is midfielders.

Averaging just over 13 touches a game doesn't seem like much but his efficiency of 77% is highly regarded and well above the AFL average. His ability to hit the scoreboard in a handful of appearances is handy as well and would definitely be useful for the Tigers.

Could the Demon have more to give at Richmond?

5. Dylan Stephens

Sydney's Dylan Stephens had a bright start to 2023 before his form began to drop off halfway through the season. After playing the first seven rounds, Stephens impressed with his ability to win the ball cleanly and hit the scoreboard. The 22-year-old has played a total of 11 games this year, averaging 13 touches a game.

With the emergence of Errol Gulden as the side's premier midfielder, the Swans may be looking to move Stephens on to focus on their proven youth. Midfielders Chad Warner, Callum Mills and James Rowbottom have solidified themselves in the side, Stephens often being the odd one out. With veteran Luke Parker remaining at the club until 2025 and still performing well, Stephens might be headed away from the Swans.

Richmond could use a player like Stephens to solidify their wing positions. Working in tandem with Errol Gulden on the opposite side of the field, Stephens has proven he can contribute as both an outside and inside midfielder whenever required.

This sort of versatility would be very beneficial to Richmond - Stephens could fill a similar role as to what Fremantle's Liam Henry could do for the Tigers. With plenty of upside, Stephens is worth having a look at from a Tigers perspective. He could be another useful midfield pickup following on from Richmond's successful moves for Giants Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper at the end of 2022.

Had been playing more ruck with Buddy in the team.

Since Buddy went down he's kicked 6 goals and had 17 hitouts in 2 games.

He's an upgrade on the Miller/Ryan situation as stuff.

Also at 24 he will be hitting his straps so a good time to recruit him.

Freeing up salary was touted as one reason Richmond could move on from Martin, with the space used to turbocharge the club’s rebuild.

But Gale said Richmond would have room to move in the cap at the end of this season, with retiring pair Riewoldt and Cotchin off the books.

“We will have some space,” he said.

Mick McGuane on who your club could lose and where they could be headed

Mick McGuane
HeraldSun
24 August 2023


RICHMOND

Ruckman Ivan Soldo is 27 years old and he has probably got to a point in his career where he is sick and tired of being second-fiddle to Toby Nankervis.

While Soldo is still contracted for next year, the Tigers couldn’t begrudge him if he wanted to leave.

Geelong could be the perfect fit for Soldo, given Rhys Stanley is not getting any younger and Jonathon Ceglar has retired.

The Tigers would be keen to improve their draft hand this year and giving up Soldo could allow them to do that.

Out-of-contract key forward Jacob Bauer could also receive interest from clubs, having shown glimpses of his talent this year.

Thought Soldo was excellent last week, he showed real agression with the hit outs and played well up forward. Could have kicked 4.

From Mick McGuane in the HeraldSun:

My mail is that free-agent Jack Silvagni (Carlton) wants to work something out and stay at Princes Park, despite still not having a contract offer. But if I was Richmond, I’d be seeing if I could lure him to Punt Rd. With the retirement of Jack Riewoldt, the Tigers could do with another marking forward to support Tom Lynch and the 25-year-old Silvangi could be an answer. If the Tigers were to lose Ivan Soldo, Silvagni could also be handy as a back-up ruckman to Toby Nankervis.

Harrison Jones (Essendon) might need a fresh start. Since bursting onto the scene in 2021, the key forward hasn’t done a lot and needs to ask himself how serious he is about his footy. There is clear upside there if another club can secure Jones and get the best out of him and his body, which has had its injury issues. He’s an athletic 196cm lead-up forward, which are hard to find. Jones could fit in well at a club like Richmond, following Jack Riewoldt’s retirement.

Forward Jade Gresham (St Kilda) is still without a contract for 2024 and there are three clubs who should be having a good, hard look at him. They are Hawthorn, Richmond and Carlton. The word is that Gresham wants to play more games at the MCG and those three clubs are all regular tenants of the home of football. Gresham hasn’t had his best season this year, but he has just turned 26 and has still averaged 17.4 disposals and a goal a game for the Saints.

Richmond's Jack Graham would be an unlikely trade piece for Sydney, but could help inside the engine room under John Longmire as a first ball user.

------

Bayside talent has been flagged as an area of interest to the Saints, however few names that are off-contract fall in the category.

Among them is Richmond defender Hugo Ralphsmith, who is yet to confirm his future at Punt Road beyond this year.

Dylan Shiel at Richmond or Geelong?

@Josh__Barnes assesses every Bomber and names four clubs who could make a trade play for Shiel:

https://twitter.com/superfooty/status/1696846748382269904

9. Dylan Shiel

Age: 30 Games: 211 (2023 games: 12) Contract ends: 2024

With Archie Perkins, Ben Hobbs, Jye Caldwell and Sam Durham all showing steady improvement this year, where does that leave Shiel? When he played early this season, Shiel was still very strong inside the contest and the Bombers were happy with him as a midfielder who could push forward. Should the Bombers dangle him in the trade period? Geelong, Richmond, Sydney, could use a midfielder who has acceleration and he would be a good teacher at North Melbourne. But he also could drive Essendon into the finals. Shiel will put his head down and demand minutes ahead of his younger teammates.

Do you think there's any way we could get their P7?

They need points so probably don't want to trade P7 unless they're getting a point surplus back so trading Prestia to them probably isn't the answer but we might get a solid pick back by paying his wage.

Short would probably fetch the most at the trade table and plays a position which we have a surplus of  players and can easily cover. Plus we'd still have Balta for the shots outside 50. No way the club would have the balls or foresight to do it though.:shh

Soldo

Short would probably fetch the most at the trade table and plays a position which we have a surplus of  players and can easily cover. Plus we'd still have Balta for the shots outside 50. No way the club would have the balls or foresight to do it though.:shh

That's my worry to.

SUN ON KEY FORWARD RADARS

GOLD Coast goalkicker Mabior Chol shapes as a key forward trade option for clubs this year despite having two years to run on his deal at the Suns.

Chol joined the Suns from Richmond at the end of 2021 on a four-year deal as a free agent, kicking 44 goals from 22 games in his first year at the club.

But he has been squeezed out this season, playing eight senior games and kicking 10 goals while spending most of the season in the VFL for the Suns.

With Ben King the Suns' spearhead, Levi Casboult set to play on and Jed Walter to arrive as the club's next key forward threat with an early draft pick, Chol's spot in the Gold Coast line-up could be challenged.

The 26-year-old played 31 games for Richmond under Damien Hardwick, who has joined as the Suns' senior coach for the next six seasons. – Callum Twomey

Fox Footy’s Jon Ralph said Jack Silvagni would “likely have to rely on the Blues offering him a new deal” due to a “lack of interest”.

“Clubs like Richmond and GWS that might have had a need for a key position player, who can go into the ruck have not expressed interest in the 25-year-old,” he wrote for the Herald Sun.

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

Despite claims Tarryn Thomas is “one mistake away” from having his AFL career cut short, there’s reports rival clubs are circling the contracted mid.

SEN’s Sam Edmund said that late season form has reeled in a lot of interested parties.

“His management have had a lot of enquiries from rival clubs,” he said.

Richmond are keen on trading in an established key forward to help Tom Lynch

Jack Riewoldt is gone, Tom Lynch is injury prone, Ben Miller and Samson Ryan aren’t quite ready, so are the Tigers targeting an established mystery forward to help their chances next year?

Jon Ralph
HeraldSun
September 5, 2023 - 6:00PM


Is Richmond brewing something out of the blue in the upcoming trade period?

Herald Sun football reporter Jon Ralph has revealed on this week’s footy podcast the Tigers are targeting a key deficiency in their list and have zeroed in on one unknown player.

“I think there’s a mystery forward that they’re (Richmond) keen for,” Ralph said.

“I think he’s only a mid-size player in terms of the contract size but I think when Jack Riewoldt retired, the feeling was we’ve (Richmond) got one.

“We’re looking for one, we’ll bring him in and it won’t cost us much in terms of trade collateral but we feel like he will help us out.”

Ralph said the Tigers want a player to help out injury prone forward Tom Lynch.

“They don’t feel like Ben Miller or Samson Ryan are ready next year to be the second or third key position player.

“So who is it? It’s not Mabior Chol, it’s not Jack Silvagni, it’s not Chris Burgess, it’s not Harry Jones, it’s not Hayden McLean.

“So who is the Richmond mystery forward who just might help them out.”

lol at the chicken littles. So atm we have Lynchy and then absolutely nothing apart from Bauer who isn't even kpp size.
Any kid we draft will most likely take what 3 or 4 years to get regular games.Yet here are people turning their noses up at Taberner and Johnson at a time when we have absolutely no capital to get a top end type of high quality..
So next year i can listen to the same posters  bemoaning Lynch not having at least someone who could take a bit of heat away from him very much like they have complained about the same situation we had with JR this year.

It really is funny the same posters rave on about the cupboard being bare. Then carry on about blokes who will most likely allow kids to develop in their own time like Taberner  who will at least be able to compete, While so called good kids we are going to draft develop.

Fair dinkum some here have nfi.
Why do so many never ever learn from the past?. We should take an experienced KPF.  Simply because THERE IS NO ONE ELSE APART FROM TOM LYNCH. There is certainly no kids in the system outside of Bauer who atm is not a kpp.

Yep lets run big Tom into the ground just like we did JR this year.

Find someone else. Get Jack back. FFS if we consider Tabarner id offer jack 2 years to come back and save us, and teach the kids while he is at it.

Also Mouth FWIW did say medium size forward thats not 197cms. Assuming he actually knows what he is talking about which i doubt.

For 30 years we recruited rejects from other clubs, and we we average at best for30 years-
I would only pick up a discard if we didn’t have to  give up a pick and only while they helped develop a young kid who takes the position as soon as they show enough

From Cal Twomey on SEN:

Jack Ginnivan (Collingwood)

“I think Richmond is on the lookout for some options in attack, but no, I think he’s pretty comfortable at the Pies.”

Jade Gresham (St Kilda)

“Very interesting situation here.

“I think there’s been a wait and a hold to see if his form can lift up to the levels of the last couple of years. There’s been moments of that without the consistency this year.

“There’s still a possibility he stays at St Kilda, I think it’s the outside chance though. I think he moves to one of the bigger Victorian clubs - Essendon, Hawthorn, Richmond - one of those sort of options.

“If he moves he’d like to play on the MCG a little bit more. That’s a watch for sure.”

SUN TO SEEK NEW HOME

Gold Coast key forward Chris Burgess is expected to look for a new home during the off-season after winning back-to-back Jim 'Frosty' Miller Medals.

The 27-year-old is contracted at the Suns in 2024, but it is understood the South Australian will explore a fresh start after being starved of opportunities across the past two seasons, managing only three AFL appearances despite dominant form in the reserves.

Two clubs have shown genuine interest in Burgess, with a couple of others keeping tabs on the West Adelaide product.

Adelaide has maintained an interest in Burgess since he joined Gold Coast along with Josh Corbett as a pre-draft selection at the end of 2018, while St Kilda has also kept tabs at different times. Brisbane, Richmond, West Coast and Hawthorn are other clubs considering key forwards this off-season.

Gold Coast is believed to be open to keeping Burgess, but the Suns are stacked with key forward depth and likely to offload some players to help acquire the draft points required to secure the four academy products they want to select in November, including underage star Jed Walter who is expected to play plenty of senior football under Damien Hardwick next year.

Port don't have a first round pick. They traded it (pick 16 currently) to Norf for JHF last year.

In any case, it would be an ordinary deal for us. We'd lose our only experienced key forward in Lynch and all the academy bids will push that pick out into the second round where this draft is hit or miss.

If you think we need a full rebuild, then what’s the issue with trading out older stars to get good picks in?

well the first thing i wouldnt have done is trade for Hopper. That pick would have been a very nice carrot for the suns for pick 4. Now we have no chance.

Looking at the GWS no wonder they were very happy to deal. It was the Green machine i believe they wanted to retain all along  :shh

Lynch i wouldnt trade if it makes Pies better. stuff them. I know you love the pies Andy, but if Lynch regains top form and there is no guarantee of that at his age and his injuries, who do you want mentoring the Bauer and Samson? We would get slaughtered like North did when they offloaded all those players at once. 8 years later and they are a still a rabble.

Players who i think are replaceable are Grimes but he ant worth much. The other is Floss and Meatball. Its all hypothetical as they aint going anywhere, but they would give us a late first rounder i believe. Floss i was against trading, but i feel we may have backup.

Dusty trade is a firm no in my eyes. Its only my view but i would love to see him stay on for another 3 years, though i suspect we only get one more out of him.

All of these trades would get us some nice picks, assuming we know how to use them. What they wont do is give us elite talent like your dusty, cotch, Bont, daicos etc we may find a diamond in the rough, but what are the chances?

How many flags are won without elite match winners? Hit the draft and grab 2 top 10's next year somehow. There is no point finishing 10th or some crap like that.

I cant see a passage where this team is contending for a flag for over 5 years. Its going be 2-3 years before Brown, Banks, Samson, Bauer and co to reach 50 games barring no injuries.

Its a long road.

Trade lynch
Trade dusty
Love pies
Keep luke Meehan
Bloody hell wake up.

How would you approach our next flag then?

Willy and Georgie a bit more sensible.

well the first thing i wouldnt have done is trade for Hopper. That pick would have been a very nice carrot for the suns for pick 4. Now we have no chance.

Looking at the GWS no wonder they were very happy to deal. It was the Green machine i believe they wanted to retain all along  :shh

Lynch i wouldnt trade if it makes Pies better. stuff them. I know you love the pies Andy, but if Lynch regains top form and there is no guarantee of that at his age and his injuries, who do you want mentoring the Bauer and Samson? We would get slaughtered like North did when they offloaded all those players at once. 8 years later and they are a still a rabble.

Players who i think are replaceable are Grimes but he ant worth much. The other is Floss and Meatball. Its all hypothetical as they aint going anywhere, but they would give us a late first rounder i believe. Floss i was against trading, but i feel we may have backup.

Dusty trade is a firm no in my eyes. Its only my view but i would love to see him stay on for another 3 years, though i suspect we only get one more out of him.

All of these trades would get us some nice picks, assuming we know how to use them. What they wont do is give us elite talent like your dusty, cotch, Bont, daicos etc we may find a diamond in the rough, but what are the chances?

How many flags are won without elite match winners? Hit the draft and grab 2 top 10's next year somehow. There is no point finishing 10th or some crap like that.

I cant see a passage where this team is contending for a flag for over 5 years. Its going be 2-3 years before Brown, Banks, Samson, Bauer and co to reach 50 games barring no injuries.

Its a long road.



I don't love the pies. Actually hate them a bit.

I just love Richmond more than I hate the pies - seems like you hate them more than you love the tiges.

I would trade Lynch if it was for the betterment of Richmond to get a good pick and offload his contract.

Interestingly Floss is one I wouldn't trade. Don't agree with you there. Agree Grimes is worth FA, he's also finished. Meatball worth stuff all too.

The Bulldogs have already held conversations with Gold Coast around potentially shifting up to pick No.4 at this year's AFL Draft, with the club considering ways to best maximise its dual first-round selections.

The Suns are looking to trade down from the No.4 selection to amass draft points for Academy guns Jed Walter, Ethan Read and Jake Rogers, and to ensure their opening pick isn't swallowed by early bids for the talented trio.

The Bulldogs currently hold pick No.10 and a later first-round selection tied to Brisbane's finals finishing position.

https://www.afl.com.au/news/1025022/dogs-start-talks-with-suns-to-trade-stuff

The Dogs' picks 10 & 17 are worth 2420 points. Pick 4 is worth 2171 points.

James Harmes is leaving Melbourne,” Sam McClure said on Tradies Podcast.

“He’s basically been frozen out from the team. He won’t play for Melbourne again and hasn’t been in consideration for the senior squad for several weeks (and has now injured his hamstring).

“He’s got four clubs that have enquired about him through his management – Richmond, Carlton, Sydney and Essendon.

“Richmond makes sense I reckon. He’d play every week for Richmond, he’s an experienced mid who can play inside and outside alongside (Jacob) Hopper and (Tim) Taranto and let them go to work.

“For me, he’s Richmond or Sydney bound, those would be my two cents… look out for James Harmes in either those two colours next year.”

Harmes is contracted until the end of 2024 having originally inked a five-year deal with Melbourne in 2019.

TRADE TROUBLE

CLUBS are expecting plenty of trade stand-offs this year as the value of picks after the top 30 decreases in the eyes of list managers and recruiters.

With a shallow draft pool expected – clubs are predicting less than 60 picks are used at the national draft – there is set to be a flow-on for a number of deals that otherwise may be worth second- and third-round selections.

Clubs opting to use three or fewer draft picks may simply not see a value in later draft picks being exchanged for wantaway players, with impasses expected to be common in the trade period due to clubs simply not wanting to use picks past a certain range.

It will likely leave clubs pushing to instead trade for future selections, but the reverse effect of the draft class is that clubs keen to trade in players this year will be largely wanting to use 2023 selections to get deals done.

OUT-OF-CONTRACT Western Bulldogs forward Buku Khamis is contemplating his future after being starved of opportunities in 2023, despite a strong season in the VFL.

It is understood that the Western Bulldogs have tabled an offer for 2024 to Khamis' management, but multiple clubs have enquired about his services, with the athletic utility to weigh up his options over the coming weeks before making a decision.

Khamis kicked 41 goals from 18 appearances for Footscray, including five in last Saturday's semi-final loss to Box Hill after three in the first final against Casey.

HAWTHORN has offered 23-year-old forward Jacob Koschitzke another deal.

So while Koschitzke only kicked nine goals in 12 games — much quieter than his breakout 2021 season kicking 27 goals from 20 games — he is a required player.

No word yet on whether rivals have interest but there is a clear chance for him to establish himself as the foil to Lewis.

Another is Tomlinson. Just turned 30 but would be worth a look to fill that Tarrant spot and maybe free up Balta to go forward. Starved of opportunities behind May and Lever.

Tabener = a big pass. Old and very ordinary and would only add the our VFL squad. I don't believe we will bring in KF who is not getting a game as Balta will play second forward next season.

Melbourne look set to permit Brody Grundy’s move to the Swans for a potential second-round draft pick .... The Swans have picks 22 (from Hawthorn) and 30 to do the deal one year after Melbourne parted with pick 27 for the dual All-Australian.

Melbourne also look to welcome Adelaide Crows’ playmaker Shane McAdam. Adelaide wants a mature-age player in return but will face heavy resistance from Melbourne if the Crows zero in on versatile tall Harrison Petty or hard nut midfielder Tom Sparrow. Melbourne could look to let go of James Harmes, 27, or Adam Tomlinson, 30, in a deal for McAdam, 28.

Another premiership Demon set to exit is James Harmes.

Morris has previously spoken about the 27-year-old who remains under contract until the end of 2024.

“I told you two months ago he was on the lookout for a new home and the Demons are open to it given he’s on more than $500,000 next year,” Morris added.

The likes of Richmond and Sydney have been linked to Harmes.

Here's the full write-up in the HeraldSun.

Power circle Ivan Soldo

The ruck merry-go-round could be about to add another name to the mix as clubs circle a premiership Tiger.
 
Jon Ralph
HeraldSun
September 18, 2023 - 6:02PM


Port Adelaide is likely to pursue another ruckman to help support new acquisition Jordon Sweet, with clubs believing they are keen on Richmond’s Ivan Soldo.

Sweet has been offered a three-year deal by the Power, but free agent Scott Lycett could depart and there is uncertainty about backups Brynn Teakle and Sam Hayes.

The Power will already have to find draft picks to secure trades for Sweet, Esava Ratugolea and Brandon Zerk-Thatcher.

But with Sweet having played 11 games across his entire career the Power cannot go into next year with Sweet as their No. 1 ruckman.

Soldo rebuffed the Dogs two years ago to sign a three-year deal to 2024 but would be the clear No. 1 ruck at the Power.

Ralph repeated his Soldo rumour on Fox Footy tonight:

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

But speaking on Fox Footy’s On The Couch on Monday night, Ralph said Sweet mightn’t be the only ruck the Power are eyeing, with contracted Tiger Ivan Soldo in their sights.

“Rival clubs believe they (the Power) are looking for a second ruckman after Jordon Sweet. They believe it’s Ivan Soldo from Richmond, who’s got one more year on his deal,” Ralph told On The Couch.

Soldo in previous years has been linked to the Giants and Bulldogs, but has stayed at Richmond.

But the Power already have to find draft picks to secure trades for Sweet, as well as Geelong’s Esava Ratugolea and Essendon’s Brandon Zerk-Thatcher.

I cant believe im saying it but I think we actually need to keep soldo... Nank is gonna miss through injury/suspension and we have no one else

Rather just continue to blood Ryan, plays his best as first ruck as he demonstrated early on when Nank  & Soldo were both out and frankly it was vastly superior ruckwork to anything either of those two have ever served up- he just unable to sustain it but with another pre-season under his belt he should be able to handle the duties for longer. :shh

Trade state of play

RICHMOND

There’s a clear changing of the guard at Tigerland, but a year after the club’s Tim Taranto-Jacob Hopper double-coup, don’t expect such a big splash.

They’re among the sides that have been linked to making a play for Gold Coast’s No. 4 pick, though Richmond only has picks 25 and 44 to play with after trading its first-rounder in the Hopper deal.

Rumours of Dustin Martin’s move to Gold Coast to reunite with Damien Hardwick won’t go away, but the logistics of a trade given he’s contracted on a big-money deal make it feel more unlikely than likely.

There was also a report that suggested Dion Prestia could look to return to Queensland to finish his career, but he too is under contract at Richmond.

Ivan Soldo has rebuffed rival interest in the past — and the Power are the club reportedly making a play for him this year.

With regards to who they could bring in, Demon James Harmes has been floated.

For now though, the club’s main priority is clearly choosing its next senior coach.

St Kilda free agent Jade Gresham could be on the move to a Victorian rival this off-season.

While the Saints are reportedly keen for the 26-year-old to stay at Moorabbin, Gresham has met with all of Essendon, Carlton and Richmond as he mulls his next move.

Callum Twomey: “I think the Bombers are leading the race there, they’ve met with him.

“Richmond, as we reported last week, have met with him as well – you feel like that’s probably the more of the unlikely scenarios there.

“There’s obviously still an option for him to stay at St Kilda on a deal, obviously that’d be on St Kilda’s terms.

“He’s still got a decision to make, I expect him to move, it just depends to which of those Victorian clubs.

“He does have the pull to play at the MCG more in front of big crowds, that’s part of the pull for him so I think that’ll play into his decision-making.”

Gresham played 23 games in 2023 as he averaged 17.6 disposals, 0.9 goals, 3.4 inside 50s and 3.2 tackles a game.

Callum Twomey on his 'Gettable' podcast today:

Grundy to Sydney.
Flynn to West Coast.
Goldstein to Essendon - looking more likely.
Lycett to North - if they lose Goldstein.
Sweet to Port.
Soldo potentially to Port as well.

AFL Media’s Josh Gabelich is reporting that the Power are showing interest in Richmond’s Ivan Soldo who remains contracted with the Tigers for 2024.

“They (the Power) are also into Ivan Soldo, so there’s some interest (there). Would it be interesting to get two ruckmen [Sweet & Soldo] at the one time?

“He has a contract so it might be a struggle to get him out of Richmond, especially with a new coach (Adem Yze) coming in there.”

2019 premiership player Soldo played just eight games for the Tigers in 2023.

The Herald Sun reported the Crows expect rival offers for Tom Doedee to be as long as five years and as much as $600,000 per season. The Crows would likely be handed a second-round compo pick.

SEN reported the Hawks had joined the race for Mabior Chol, who also had suitors at Adelaide, Brisbane and, most notably, North Melbourne. As Chol is contracted to the Suns until at least the end of 2025, he’d have to be traded to a different club.

The Age reported, though, the Hawks could also turn to Ben King, as well as Port Adelaide’s Todd Marshall and Bulldogs duo Jamarra Ugle-Hagan and Todd Marshall, whose deals all expire at the end of next season. However it’s widely expected King will re-sign with the Suns during the off-season.

Paddy Dow is St Kilda-bound.

Zac Fisher expected to join North Melbourne on a four-year deal with a five-year trigger at $450,000 a year.

I understand the rationale. You have a tagger who plays on a jet who instead of 40 possessions gets 20. But your tagger hasn’t touched the ball so you’re effectively playing one down.

That being said Lachie Neale in 2022 I think had 40 and he torched us. Same with Sidebottom 2018 . Like everything I think flexibility helps. Like didn’t cotchin tag tim Kelly in 2019 prelim against geelong after half time?

CLUBS SET FOR MOVES AFTER CATCH-UP

Nearly half of the competition's list bosses caught up on Wednesday in a final round of mini trade talks ahead of the start of the player movement window next week.

Richmond, Geelong, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne, Fremantle and Adelaide all gathered for separate discussions in Docklands ahead of the opening of the free agency period next Friday and the Trade Period the following Monday, on October 6.

Not all clubs met with each other, with the chats an informal step in them being across general plans, how many draft picks are likely to be needed and used and the overview of where negotiations sit on out-of-contract players.

Free agents are able to lodge their moves on the Friday following this weekend's Grand Final.

Adelaide and Melbourne will be keen to secure another top 10 pick if the Suns end up trading pick 4 to the Bulldogs.

The Dogs are offering picks 10, 17 and a future first-rounder — and would likely secure a third-rounder back from the Suns — which adds up to around 3500 draft points if the Dogs finished eighth next year.

The Crows and Demons have multiple second-rounders and one of that pair could trade them to the Suns for pick 10. Adelaide has picks 21 and 24 to the Demons’ 25 and 33, so the Crows are in the box seat. But if the Demons found a way to sweeten that deal their draft hand could be five, 10 and 13.

GEELONG is open to putting its lucrative top-10 pick up for trade over the coming month, should the right opportunity present itself.

The Cats have already held discussions with rival teams around potential pick swaps involving the No.7 selection, while they would also be open to parting with the first-round draft choice for the right player.

A 2nd round selection is hardly 'nothing'. I suppose we should have been able to get Taranto, Hopper and Hill all in the one year? Not sure of you are aware, but there is thing called a 'salary cap'.

The Giants trade Hill and its round-three selection (pick No.40) to Collingwood for its round-three selection (43) and its future second-round selection.

So what pick exactly have the pies given up here? Pick 40 is peanuts then and it' is now. Did you have any issue in what we gave up for hopper, or  is that hardly anything as well?

He wouldn't have cost more than 450k per year. We have blokes like Soldo and Graham on similar figures, yet we sat on our arse and tried to chase  a 4th flag with this group.

We have sat on our arses for three years now and still supporters are living in the past.
It is simple we have stopped evolving we still think we can win another flag with this group. At this rate it will be another 37 years of denial before we win another flag.

Lets look at all the clubs as of now and how long its been since their last flags.

Adelaide - a two town team powerhouse. 1998.
Brisbane - 2003 and still going.
Carlton - 1995 and 28 years long may it last.
Collingwood - premiers ffs.  before this year 2010.
Essendon - 2000 23 years another team we all hope it lasts forever.
Fremantle - came into the comp in 1995 28years and counting.
Geelong - 2022 before that 2011. It took 11 years it did not take long enough.
Hawthorn - 2015 and counting.
Melbourne - 2021 before that 1964.
North - 1999 and counting long may it last.
Port - 2004 another two team power house who have been mostly ordinary for the last 19 seasons. Long may it last.
StKilda - last played in a gf 2010. Have one flag in too long to remember.
2018 - WCE 2018 currently a rabble looks like at least 5 years before they get another one. Very rich powerful club could take less time if they ever get their act back together.
FOOTSCRAY - 2016. 7 SEASONS AND COUNTING.

The point is its a falacy when people talk about premiership time frames. Already we are 3 years past our last flag and we have a very ageing list with not a lot of top end talent coming thru and still we think we can turn it around in a year or two. It is a fantasy.

Premierships don't grow on trees they come from years and years of hard work.

Players that could leave

The Tigers are tipped to be quiet this upcoming Trade Period, with only a handful of names popping up in the trade talk. The main one is ruckman Ivan Soldo, who Port Adelaide holds some interest in, even though they’re also targeting the Bulldogs’ Jordon Sweet. Hugo Ralphsmith is also yet to commit to next season after playing just 13 games in 2023. Dustin Martin isn’t going anywhere until the end of next year at least, while there were some reports linking Dion Prestia to a return to Queensland but nothing substantial.

Players that could arrive

Richmond need a replacement for forward Jack Riewoldt after his almost two decades at the club, and Hawk Jacob Koschitzke looks to be that man. The out-of-contract forward has requested a move to the Tigers, despite having a deal to stick around at Waverley Park. The Tigers are also reportedly one of four clubs keen on out-of-favour Demon James Harmes – although he’s been linked most heavily with a move to Essendon.

Graham, Ralphsmith, Soldo should all be traded for whatever we can get.

Personally, I'd also trade Prestia to get a 1st rounder.

Post by: georgies31 on October 02, 2023, 06:08:31 PM
I'm well aware are you?

The Giants trade Hill and its round-three selection (pick No.40) to Collingwood for its round-three selection (43) and its future second-round selection.

So what pick exactly have the pies given up here? Pick 40 is peanuts then and it' is now. Did you have any issue in what we gave up for hopper, or  is that hardly anything as well?

He wouldn't have cost more than 450k per year. We have blokes like Soldo and Graham on similar figures, yet we sat on our arse and tried to chase  a 4th flag with this group.

We have sat on our arses for three years now and still supporters are living in the past.
It is simple we have stopped evolving we still think we can win another flag with this group. At this rate it will be another 37 years of denial before we win another flag.

Lets look at all the clubs as of now and how long its been since their last flags.

Adelaide - a two town team powerhouse. 1998.
Brisbane - 2003 and still going.
Carlton - 1995 and 28 years long may it last.
Collingwood - premiers ffs.  before this year 2010.
Essendon - 2000 23 years another team we all hope it lasts forever.
Fremantle - came into the comp in 1995 28years and counting.
Geelong - 2022 before that 2011. It took 11 years it did not take long enough.
Hawthorn - 2015 and counting.
Melbourne - 2021 before that 1964.
North - 1999 and counting long may it last.
Port - 2004 another two team power house who have been mostly ordinary for the last 19 seasons. Long may it last.
StKilda - last played in a gf 2010. Have one flag in too long to remember.
2018 - WCE 2018 currently a rabble looks like at least 5 years before they get another one. Very rich powerful club could take less time if they ever get their act back together.
FOOTSCRAY - 2016. 7 SEASONS AND COUNTING.

The point is its a falacy when people talk about premiership time frames. Already we are 3 years past our last flag and we have a very ageing list with not a lot of top end talent coming thru and still we think we can turn it around in a year or two. It is a fantasy.

Premierships don't grow on trees they come from years and years of hard work.

Not sure if you listened to Yze presser his well aware we're in rejuvenation and need change of the guard and knows the team is not in window some at the club we're dreaming was great to hear the truth.

agree georgie, but to be fair did we really need him to tell me what some of us already knew?

players are older, top end talent is fading away. You dont need to be a genius to figure out that you need to get top end talent in and quick.

In some ways i feel for him, because he will cop it being the senior coach.

When dimma took over what was our average player age and what is it now? I hope there is a big cull from Yze as well including the likes of graham, pickett, and i would hate to see him go but prestia for me needs to be on the table now mainly due to the stuff up that is the hopper draft. I want to see grimesy finish up, preferably now, but in 12 months might be okay. The quicker we replenish players that can be replaced the better we will be. Grimes, pickett are certainly 2 of those now at their age.

Anyway I'm just not sure about this. Think I'd rather picks 4+5 like WCE. Pick 1 is a lot of pressure on a kid and I feel like any club would do better with 4+5.

Not sure GCS would be interested but I could see Melbourne doing this. WCE too.

As for salaries, we could afford to contribute because their replacements would be draftees and we'd save boatloads.

Even if we paid half in theory we'd still be $1mil better off in the TPP for 2024.

RICHMOND

Get Koschitzke and build steadily

The Tigers are set to bring in Jacob Koschitzke via the trade period, they just need to get a deal done. He will fulfil the role of Jack Riewoldt and offer support to Tom Lynch, who was missed for large parts of 2023. James Harmes has interest from the Tigers and could bolster their engine room. Given the draft capital the side gave up to get Jacob Hopper and Tim Taranto last year and the fact they’ll need to trade for Koschitzke, the Tigers would be looking to preserve as much of their 2024 draft hand as possible in order to regenerate under Adem Yze.

SHAPE UP OR SHIP OFF: MELBOURNE’S ULTIMATUM FOR CLAYTON OLIVER

Sam Edmund
SEN
5 October 2023


Melbourne has hit Clayton Oliver with an ultimatum – shape up or ship off.

Fed-up Demons officials have told their troubled midfielder that they need a commitment from him that he will once again conform to the standards and expectations the club demands.

They have made a series of demands to Oliver that include the need to treat club staff with respect, teammates with respect, prepare the way he should and to turn up to training in the proper condition.

It can be revealed that Melbourne’s reluctance to squash the frenzied trade talk surrounding the 26-year-old is exclusively due to its exasperation with Oliver’s increasingly erratic behaviour.

Equally, Oliver had made clear his dissatisfaction with his club to various sections of the AFL industry.

It’s this ill-will that that has seen rival clubs smell blood in the water and some even confident of pulling off an enormous trade coup.

In recent days, however, Oliver has shown a willingness to return to the fold. He has put his hand up to say that his living arrangements and social lifestyle hasn’t been befitting of an AFL player.

Max Gawn has also opened the door of his home to Oliver, who has recently moved in with the captain and his family.

Duursma is contracted for next year but according to AFL Media's Cal Twomey could be open to a move back to his home state.

Duursma’s younger brother Zane is expected to be a top five pick in this year’s AFL Draft.

The family hails from Victoria’s Gippsland region.

Likely heading to the Bombers according to Jon Ralph.

Harmes had also been linked to Richmond, where his former Dees midfield coach Adem Yze is now senior coach, although the Tigers appear more unlikely as a destination.

Let's see what swans cough up for Adams. 30 years old and really not that great.

Then let's watch as we get reamed with someone like soldo who is sought after by 1 maybe 2 clubs, and is a premiership ruckman. Assuming he leaves that is.

This actually makes no sense. If any player is wanted by 2 clubs vs 1 club, the rules of demand vs supply would dictate that the former goes for a higher price.

 Come on. Of course 2 clubs chasing is better than one, but it doesnt mean we wont get reamed on a trade either way. It is you know about the clubs who are involved, and in both cases there is a contract for 1 more year.

Doesn't generally work out that way you want, if you have idiots in charge that have dropped the ball in recent times.  :shh

Never trade back into the draft or take it seriously paid overs for Hopper & probably Taranto as well when they both were uncontracted and wanted to leave and GWS didn't really care if they did, hung on to Ralphsmith & Graham when they were wanted.  Re-sign list cloggers & over the hill plodders - still think we have a premiership list, trying to be Geelong/Sydney when we don't have their advantages - past their prime and clearly delusional. :shh

Surely we wont give up our first pick for Kosi. That would be bloody ludicrous!

I dont begrudge the club for "topping up" last year and having a crack, even though it clearly didnt work out.

However, im now of the opinion that we need to bottom out for a few years and get some high picks in.

For this reason, I would have put Lynch and Dusty up for trade.

As Dio said, we dont have the advantages to rebuild on the fly like other clubs do.

We're in for some pain.

The players we should offer for trade are Short and Prestia. Both have 1st round value but not in our top 10 players.

1. Dusty
2. Lynch
3. Taranto
4. Bolton
5. Baker
6. Rioli
7. Vlaustin
8. Balta
9. Gibcus
10. Nank

Who in their right mind would give up a first rounder for Prestia or Short.
No disrespect to the meatball but he is turning 32 and is in all sorts of trouble and just my opinion but Short continues to be the most overrated player we have.

Post by: the claw on October 09, 2023, 08:46:19 PM
If you were to be ballsy which player would you put up for trade to reap us the best possible draft picks

That depends on how you rate the list and how much time you think it will take to contend again.

If its a long term approach and an acceptance of the pain that comes with that then obviously Lynch to GWS along with Dusty for a pi;e of picks that would get them a flag imo.

Melbourne have a pile of picks and are seriously in need of a great goal kicking fwd as well Lynchy would fit that bill as well.

The hundred dollar question when will they be prepared to acknowledge the state of the list and the time frame it may take to rebuild.

An interesting one was Sydney going after Adams from Collingwood. Maybe Prestia a very similar type with tons of experience to help guide their young mids would be a good fit.

Lots of scenarios can be played out it just depends as i said where you think the list is at.

Richmond never showed interest in James Harmes.

Rumours only began because of his link with Yze.

Richmond don’t plan to attack this off season due to the coaching staff and list management believing in the list already.

the interest in a first round pick has died drastically, but a potential move hasn’t be completely ruled out either.

A. Expect it to stay that way other than the Koschitzke move, which Hawks are reportedly driving a hard bargain on. Tigers only have picks 27 and 48 - the second-worst of any club - after last year's Hopper-Taranto splash move.

Richmond do have interest in attacking free agency next year to lock up the wing position.

Also found WB move interesting securing P4 for 10+17+F1 I think it was? Seems a high price but they must really expect themselves to bounce back into the top 6 next year.

Think the WB/GC one has more to do with GC needing to accumulate points for their academy players. Also they are saying it is a shallow draft this year, so top 10 picks are gold. But good point you make about the Bullflakes. They definitely believe they are a top 6 actually make that top 4 side  ::)

Q: Any chance of the Tigers actually trying something? Several other clubs hugely creative, doing deals to get themselves up the order, but not the Tigers

A: I find the Tigers fascinating. They are obviously neither selling nor buying, Jacob Koschizkte aside. That seems to say they think they can push up the ladder and Brendon Gale has been public in saying he doesn't really believe in bottoming out. If Tom Lynch is fit and Josh Gibcus can play some footy, the Tigers will likely be better than last year but is that enough to make finals? The Tigers are even holding form on keeping Ivan Soldo, a player that does have some trade value. All quiet at the moment at Punt Road...


Q: Any mature f/agent ruckmen floating around? If so, could Tigers sign that ruckmen, then send Soldo to Port for Duursma? Soldo solid, but he ain't Cox/Gawn

A: Would you take Scott Lycett or Sam Hayes? Rhys Stanley is staying at Geelong and so to it seems is Braydon Preuss at GWS, while most others are locked up. I like your thinking to try and maximise on what you have and the idea of trying to get Duursma back is good thinking but at this stage he has only shown interest in Essendon. Worth making these calls if you are Richmond though!

Also

Jack Ross to Fremantle was never true, he’ll be at Punt Road next year

Jack Ginnivan rumours will begin once Schultz gets traded.

due to the word count I’ll elaborate on the Schultz stuff

Collingwood won’t trade Ginnivan at all if Schultz doesn’t join the club.

Collingwood may also part with Ginnivan before they add Schultz to bolster their trade package as Fremantle have high demands

The main reason that Jack Ross could potentially come to Fremantle; to strengthen their midfield depth.

RICHMOND

— GOT Pick 65 | GAVE AWAY Bigoa Nyuon to North Melbourne

Summary: A few bits and pieces to work out here. The Tigers rejected the Hawks’ initial request of a top-25 pick for key forward Jacob Koschitzke, so holding picks 29, 50 and 68, how will that deal get across the line? Maybe the sudden announcement of Jack Gunston’s interest in returning to Waverley Park will inspire the Hawks to accept a later pick. Ivan Soldo has plenty of interest, most notably from Port Adelaide, but Richmond is very keen to keep him and he’s got another year on his contract. Bigoa Nyuon has departed as a trade deal - rather than as a unrestricted free agent as it could’ve diluted North’s free agent compensation enough to cost them Pick 3.

Gee, this is such a welcoming place. How dare I have an opinion that differs to the mob's!

I believe that Port should offer an established player for an established player. They want somebody we want to keep? Give something up then. Not just pie-in-the-sky picks that will possibly amount to nothing.

So can I .. again, it's a forum

Not coming to us. He's picked the club he barracked for as a kid.

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

Jack Ginnivan has requested a trade.

The club is aware he’s exploring strong interest from Hawthorn.

Collingwood will engage in talks with the Hawks on a deal involving a potential second or third-round pick.

The Herald Sun has confirmed the Magpies have received this trade request from Ginnivan’s manager John Meesen.

Ginnivan met with the Hawks on Tuesday to discuss his future.

Ginnivan was a Hawthorn supporter growing up.

I must say it's been a disappointing trade period for us.

No deals, where is our improvement coming from? Where is our vision or plan?

I was critical we left our coaching appointment too late so no player knew or foresaw a move to Richmond with an unknown coach. Appreciate we have lost managers but without Yze analysing list in time this is what happens.

I'd have been pretty active in shopping some players and future picks around to explore better draft hands.

Yze not off to a good start IMO. This has been a shocking trade period.

There are significant holes in the list namely f50, and  the best we can hope for is a poor man's jack in Kosi to really only offset what we  lost.

Always love how we do nothing at trade time and it's either the coaches fault or because we didn't appoint a coach early enough

List managers put together lists, coaches have some input. In Yze case he would have been told about our list status contract and salary cap wise. He would know who is up for trade.

But to trade you need currency, you know players that will get you decent picks or you need 1st round picks. Outside our A graders many on here reckon alot on our list are "duds" so what do you expect to get for them 2nd rounders? And

Then there is pesky thing called the salary cap. We have 3 players on big contracts next year, some have suggest each $1mil +. So you'd think we are limited in what we can offer any FA

While I agree with you to a degree I just don't think the vlub is brave enough to make hard decisions.Port offered us a future second rd and pick 41 for Soldo  that's a good deal. Vlastuin should be on the table along with Graham.

We can assume 41 goes to Hawks for Kosi.

Freo R2 next year will be around 25 unless they fly up the ladder.

Freo '24 P2 could be 25ish in a deeper draft.

From Jon Ralph in the HeraldSun:

Scott Lycett planned to sign a one-year deal at Port Adelaide to play alongside Jordon Sweet, but will instead be delisted following Ivan Soldo's acquistion.

Richmond may, as a result, be in the mix.

Richmond will consider all options to bring in ruck back-up while it also gives Samson Ryan and Ben Miller opportunities behind co-captain Toby Nankervis.

Lycett also had a medical at Melbourne, who instead decided to bring in Tom Fullarton.

SCOTT LYCETT

Lycett is yet to officially be moved on from Port Adelaide, but the Power‘s dual ruck acquisitions on deadline day all but confirmed that the premiership Eagle’s days at Alberton Oval are numbered. His manager Colin Young confirmed on Trade Radio on deadline day Lycett was deciding between retiring or continuing his career at a third club. In a virtual trade, Lycett could replace Soldo at Punt Road and provide some experience for Richmond as backup to Toby Nankervis.

HAYDEN CROZIER

Another one who is yet to be delisted but his time at his current club appears close to up, Crozier could be moving onto his third AFL home. Crozier only managed four games in his sixth year at the Bulldogs. Having battled injuries in recent years, the 29-year-old has struggled to maintain a regular spot in Luke Beveridge‘s side. The 142-gamer could yet prove valuable depth for a side close to contending or provide cover for a side lacking defensive experience. Richmond’s back six has become a problem and they could opt for Crozier as a cheap fill-in.

Richmond set to sign ex-Swan ruck

Cal Cummins
House of Footy
22/10/2023


House of Footy understands Richmond will pick up Sam Naismith as a delisted free agent, replacing Ivan Soldo who departed for Port Adelaide.

Naismith was smashed by injury during his time at the Swans, managing just 30 games since his debut in 2014, and only two games since 2017.

After being delisted by Sydney in 2022, the 31-year-old has played for in the VFL for Port Melbourne, but has been recalled to AFL level and will don the yellow and black in season 2024.

Naismith has been prolific for the Borough, averaging 37 hitouts and almost 15 disposals over his 14 games this season.

Ex-Swans ruckman on Tigers' radar after impressive VFL season

By Callum Twomey
afl.com.au
23 October 2023


RICHMOND will consider former Swan Sam Naismith as a delisted free agent as the Tigers scour the ruck market.

The Tigers lost 2019 premiership ruckman Ivan Soldo in a last-day deal with Port Adelaide during the Continental Tyres AFL Trade Period, leaving them with just co-captain Toby Nankervis and youngster Samson Ryan as ruck options.

Richmond had wanted to retain the contracted Soldo, but the 27-year-old had pursued a move to the Power, who traded three selections for him to lead their ruck department.

The Tigers are now on the ruck search, with Naismith on the radar as an option after a standout campaign in the VFL with Port Melbourne.

The 31-year-old ruckman, who played 30 games for the Swans in an injury-hit career, averaged 14 disposals and nearly 40 hitouts a game at the level and could be signed by any club once the delisted free agency period begins next Wednesday, given he was previously on an AFL list.

He had undergone three knee reconstructions during his Sydney career, having played 17 games in 2017 before his final two appearances in Swans colours in 2020, but has pieced together a good run of fitness this season.

Soldo and Jordon Sweet (to Port Adelaide), Brodie Grundy (Sydney), Tom Fullarton (Melbourne), Todd Goldstein (Essendon) and Matt Flynn (West Coast) moved clubs as either trades or free agents this month.

It leaves the Tigers among clubs looking at ruck options with the delisted free agency window and national and rookie drafts to come, with out-of-contract Port Adelaide veteran Scott Lycett still weighing his future.

The Tigers will look at Lycett, with St Kilda and Collingwood also potential suitors, while the Western Bulldogs could also be on the hunt for ruck depth after losing Sweet.

I think taking Naismith as a free agent makes perfect sense.

1) Will cost us nothing draft wise.
2) Minimal level salary
3) Backup Ruck insurance
4) Was a better Ruckman than Nankervis in his day.
5) Will keep Nankervis on his toes.

Makes every bit of sense to me. However, keeping Colina on the list would make no sense at all.....

I have no issue with Naismith as a back up

I don't think he will be used to the detriment of Ryan

Think he is needed more as insurance for Nank. When was the last time Nank played a full season? Between injury and suspensions he's missed a chunk of footy the last few seasons

I think taking Naismith as a free agent makes perfect sense.

5) Will keep Nankervis on his toes.

Makes every bit of sense to me. However, keeping Colina on the list would make no sense at all.....

Just saw a clip of RCD and Sydney stack supposedly putting their hand up to try and find a new home as delisted free agents. Do we have anyone who watches sanfl and have any idea how RCD went last year? I have a soft spot for him mainly cause I feel he just wasn’t developed or given opportunity along cotchin when at times his vfl form warranted it

Averaged 15 disposals in 10 games.  I suggest you give up on him!

RCD apparently going to play for Willy next year.

VFL: nothing official from Williamstown yet but it's believed the Towners have landed ex-Tiger Riley Collier-Dawkins, who was in the SANFL this year.

Yuck that's poor.

I have a soft spot too - feel like we should have tried him as a medium forward/Josh Casey/Towner role.

Stack started with Perth in the WAFL, played the first 3-4 games in the reserves and ended up playing in a premiership out in the sticks somewhere.
Sounds like he still has professionalism issues, hardly a good step forward to make it back into the AFL.

LYCETT WEIGHS UP THIRD AFL CLUB

Port Adelaide ruckman Scott Lycett is reportedly set to play at a third AFL club next season after considering retirement.

Lycett, 31, appears surplus to needs at the Power after the side recruited two ruck options in Ivan Soldo and Jordon Sweet during the trade period, leaving him with a decision to make on his future.

The Herald Sun reports Lycett has been linked with Richmond, St Kilda and Collingwood on a reduced wage.

Collingwood was linked to Todd Goldstein before the North Melbourne veteran opted for a move to Essendon.

Richmond could see Lycett as a viable backup option for Toby Nankervis in 2024, with Soldo now at the Power.

Lycett has played 146 senior games across a 13-year career spanning stints at West Coast and the Power.

He has come to the end of a five-year deal that he signed after winning the 2018 premiership with the Eagles.

Orazio Fantasia has committed to Carlton on a two-year deal.

He’ll join as a Delisted Free Agent. The 28-year-old reunites with Michael Voss, his one-time Port Adelaide assistant coach

Yuck that's poor.

I have a soft spot too - feel like we should have tried him as a medium forward/Josh Casey/Towner role.

Its that soft spot that allowed him to list clog for his last two years with us.

Low football IQ and average kicking skills. Should never have drafted him.

Thought his kicking was OK myself, at least his kicking for goal.

IMO lacked the IQ to play midfield, average pace too. Caddy was honestly similar, never a mid who could accumulate ball, never overly quick, but good hands and set shot.

RCD had good breakaway speed and on his day -which unfortunately were way too few and far between- he could burst out of packs as he demonstrated in the VFL GF.... :shh

Locked in: as had been whispered, Williamstown has signed ex-Tiger Riley Collier-Dawkins, who was in the SANFL this year.

Confirmed.

Richmond have significant interest in luring Port Adelaide Key Forward Todd Marshall to Richmond

Despite it being unlikely, the efforts to sign a big free agent next off-season is being heavily considered.

Todd Marshall is still expected to re-sign with Port Adelaide.

Clubs will head to draft night with the same selections they had following the recent trade period after the secondary pick swaps window ended with zero trades being completed.

Next chance they'll get is when draft opens on November 20.
