Wimpley & Slobbo brought up Patton as a possibility for trade on 360 tonight.
-
:pray
-
Can we start talking about who our trade currency is now?
Cotchin
Lids
Vickery
Lennon
B Ellis
Grigg
Houli
? Conca
? Astbury
? Morris
? Batchelor
-
No ones gunna want the Houli and grigg sisters
-
Our only currency are
Martin
Vickery
B Ellis
-
Our only currency is Martin

Would we get anything for Lids?
As much as I love the guy, it doesn't look like he'll be around for our next tilt.
Might be a good move for him also.

Probably needed to happen last year, however if there is interest I would definitely go for it

Trading lids is a large sign on defeat IMHO ...

Hooker off the table.
Re-signed with Essendope for 5 more years. :whistle
-
like I posted elsewhere
CALE Hooker has signed a five-year contract with Essendon.
The Bombers increased their offer from a four-year deal to five years at about $750,000 a season.
Fremantle, Hawthorn, North Melbourne, Melbourne and Collingwood were among many clubs to make a play for the best-and-fairest defender.
And no Richmond in there, dont even try, stuffn imbeciles so peeed off :banghead
-
I wouldn't trade Lids.
He is the heart and soul of the club when it comes to loyalty.
The club needs to show loyalty to the servants that have served them well and have shown loyalty to the club.
That's what being a club is all about FFS!!!!!!!

You could argue that the injustice would be to keep him at Richmond for another rebuild and not let him enhoy success elsewhere. .

MAybe that's because Hooker isn't the Bomber key defender they are interested in ;) ;D
-
Take Hurley and Hooker, eggs one basket!
Why not both if it was possible? not like our backline without Rance sets the world on fire.
Teams like the Bulldogs, dont know HTF they come up with all this money for VFL teams and players they get! where we with our mighty supporter base, scratch and save for the VFL team (Joke that that is).
We now have this war chest but wont send a cent, spend the freakin lot. Itll pay off in spades if it works, if not were doomed to a life of mediocirty anyway :banghead
Be Bold chase everyone or do we just need a bit of cream LMFAO NOT

People wanting to trade the like of titch and lids primarily so the lads can enjoy some success before they hang up the boots at a proper club ...

I understand where you are coming from; the window looks closed now ...
My concern is gws/gc look like dominating he next ten or so years. Then you have a host of other sides that have been building a young list for 1/2/3 years. Now... What's the point getting rid of our best players so that we might be ok side in 2028 ... I'm planning to b dead by then
I would be favour of keeping
Edwards.
Cotchin
rance.
Jack
Deledio
... would put everyone else on the table , see what is offered. I would too keeping the like of miles, grimes, vlastuin dusty unless if were a strong offer
Then again I still hold hope circus fc will sack Dimma and install and suffice coach / list manager. Might have to up my meds

Offer peanuts you get peanuts back.
Its exactly the mentality on not parting with anything of value that has lead to where we are now with recycled hacks from other clubs stinking it up in the yellow and black.

It's worse than that too ...
We can't get a FREE agents of any quality cause we are offering 70% of market value while other are willing pay overs...
:facepalm
Wouldn't wanna overpay and upset the leadership group!! Chaplin might point at something in an aggrieved fashion

cotchin rance lids jack and dusty if he can grow up a bit! untoucheable the rest well
you obviously have to stick with the newbies that are getting a game atm C ellis menadue for a bit

Edwards > martin
:shh
-
Martin 2010/11, latter half of 2014 > entire Richmond list.
Martin second half v Carlton this year =/= Leigh Matthews.
Edwards at best = poor man's McLeod/ second rate Wingard with Greg Williams hands but Emille Heskey turning circle.
-
Lids shytes on dusty 8). And that's for starters
Agreed martin is capable of excellent footballing
If you goin to cheer lead the trade Edwards campaign gotta think bout it all
-
Lids shytes on dusty 8)
Until some hack tags him. :shh
-
Until some hack tags him. :shh
:lol
Then you put him @ ff and he will kick 5
If dusty can win the ball ::)
-
He did when he was 18/19...then Supercoach Half-Step Hardwick thought he knew better....hbf/outside mid....
-
Training reports indicated martin was winning unprecedented amounts of contested possessions in intra club games as a youngster newly into the afl system
Mr hardwick in all his wisdom thought this unacceptable and moved him to the backline to learn tese finer points of the game
-
...and now he's doing the same thing to Vlastuin.....
-
Love titch- took me a while though - Its probably more about 28 v 25,
If we could just spend some stuffing money and recruit a couple of guns we dont need these conversations
The cream

Some say perhaps rightly so... Houli grigg Chaplin Hampson Morris hunt pettard Morris and the rest were all fair enough additions and helped the club somewhat.
I reckon It's the holding on to some them for 2/3/4 years to long and treating them like Demi gods. Instead of rotating the squad, building a deeper list, investing in youth, attempting to continually improve list etc
That's the cruel bit for the supporters
...and now he's doing the same thing to Vlastuin.....
I sincerely find it deeply depression
Don't laugh at me Penelope

Love dusty
But titch might have him covered now ... :shh
Agreed in a half decent side, where they won 50% of the midfield ball, and were not always defending from the back pocket. Due to a lack of ability to get the ball last half way... That Edwards would be dynamite

I agree with you here (we might need to bookmark it ;D) especially the underlined bits. Not sure about the "demi gods" comments I would describe them more as coach's favourites
Two keys points you've highlighted is "building a deeper list, investing in youth"; reckon why we've failed here is the fact we have appeared to have favoured one at the expense of the other or at least tried to and in the process got both wrong
-
Hearing whispers about Hartlett not being happy at Port - regrets re-signing and apparently we're back in the frame... :shh

And I'd also add coaching and developing our playing group to their natural strengths as opposed to trying to jam square pegs into Dimma shaped holes.
We aren't a million miles away from it - it's about making the hard calls quickly
-
I have harped on about sacking our list management team and believe that nothing will happen at RFC until this is addressed.
As a point of reference can anyone tell me when in the last 25 years have we had a solid list with genuine depth?
Until we get this sorted we are wasting our time.
-
I wouldn't trade Lids.
He is the heart and soul of the club when it comes to loyalty.
The club needs to show loyalty to the servants that have served them well and have shown loyalty to the club.
That's what being a club is all about FFS!!!!!!!
Like I said, it would break my heart but we don't have to dangle him in front of the whole league so to say. Something along the lines of; 'Lids, you're a true loyalist and servant of the club, but our window is closed and we don't see it opening for the rest of your career. If you would like to chase premiership success at a stronger club we will understand and try to trade you for something that will benefit RFC long-term, however if you want to stay we'd love to have you.'
Think about St Kilda with Stanley, Dal Santo and Goddard. Those blokes could have stayed if they'd wanted to but decided to leave after discussions with their list management as it was best for both parties.
Hearing whispers about Hartlett not being happy at Port - regrets re-signing and apparently we're back in the frame... :shh
Might be a handy pickup but I don't rate him as an A-grade footballer. B-grade at best.
-

That's fine, we need more B graders to fill the gap between our A graders and our D graders (not too many in between)

He would require a trade though, we'd have to give up a B grader which in our case is.....

Bellis, which aint gunna happen.
bottom line is we dont have an excess of any type of player, so wed have to give up picks

Didn't Hartlett sign for something like $800K? :huh

Cause we offer the like of Hurley 650 while others offer over market value
Meanwhile we have a plethora of hacks on enough to fed a small country; Chaplin grigg Houli Hampson Morris hunt
Monkies for list managers
-
Don't care what benny says, reckon we need another KPD. God forbid Rance goes down and Chaplin has only so long left in the tank plus we could do with an upgrade on him even now
That is a bit disrespectful.
I'm sure the great Benny gale is overseeing with success the Richmond ruck and key defender stockpiles

I liked the look of Mitch Grigg from Adelaide too. Not grtting a game but they have a pretty good midfield group to try and get into. Unlike us.

Herald-Sun saying we're interested in Brandon Matera.
OVERLOOKED Gold Coast forward Brandon Matera is being hunted by Victorian clubs desperate for clever small forwards.
Matera kicked 18 goals in 19 games last year after being suspended for a week for breaking a no-alcohol agreement by the players.
After being dropped early this year he fought back to reclaim his place but is again out of the team.
Clubs including Carlton, Essendon and Richmond are seen to be scouting for mid-sized forwards at season’s end.

:lol
Here we go, linked to every player, all the big fish (not in this case) but we will sit in the corner quivering and end up with another half back flanker.. :snidegrin
-
Freo dropped Zac Clarke
-
Players must want to come to a particular club. If theyre not certain, then the club must "sell" the dream of playing with them (unless your the Hawks and have just won three premierships)
Geelong is a prime example of how to sell a dream, they are also a team that don't take short cuts and have a proven they have the blueprint for success.
Why would anyone want to live in Geelong? Or Sydney?
But like Geelong they attract good players because those players know they'll be better players at those clubs too and get them closer to premiership glory.
What can Richmond sell?
I can still here Nathan Brown saying, "I left the Bulldogs to play in finals" :rollin
Richmond FC, ruining careers since '83. :clapping
-
Freo dropped Zac Clarke
His crap. We have Hampson, keep up FFS

Tom Browne on Talking Footy said if the Suns continue to lose (as well as cost the AFL $20m in distributions), then there will be a player exodus from Metricon. He mentioned Prestia and Matera.
Prestia linked to us, Melbourne and Hawthorn.

We are still allowed to bid draft picks are we not?
There is no "off the table" need to do something outside the box not get back on course
If not lynch: hogan McCartin. Cameron
If we are going to think small must get Patton / Jenkins
Deledio. Jack. Lennon / c Ellis
Cotchin patton/Jenkins Edwards/ rioli

:lol
He has a contract the only way he can traded is if he agrees.
Seeing he agreed to terms only a month ago i doubt very much he is going to ask for a trade

Even if it's a 1% chance it's worth looking into. Probably wants to live in melbourne. Gc are a shambles. Looks peeed off.
Lynch. Hogan. Cameron. If you throw enough bait might cash a fish.
More realist like would be going way overs for Patton and it Jenkins ...
The fans need some hope a 2nd 'A grade' key forward would add a lot. More so if you get some value out of McBean / Tyrone / Griffiths on the trade table.
Given the list dynamics an the strength of gws , other clubs that have started rebuilding. I think the ten year full rebuild is not going to work ... Need to top up high end talent give the new coach a proper chance

Will trade McBean to Carlton for Liam Jones and give Jack Anthony another shot at AFL. :shh

bc we're turning Lennon into a backman silly

Report on AFL Tonight said Lewis Taylor's not happy at Brisbane and contract talks have stalled.....also said Leppa dropped him for not tackling enough, so he'd be a walk up start at Richmond.... :gotigers

Hutchy and Barrett on Footy Classified tonight said Prestia, O'Meara and David Swallow want out of Gold Coast.
Hutchy said Prestia "is definitely gone" and that rivals clubs have been putting offers to both Prestia and O'Meara for the past 12 months. While Barrett said Swallow looks to have lost some faith in the Suns' medicos and visited North's physio.

Rival clubs are circling Melbourne free agent Neville Jetta as he hits career-best form as a small defender.

GIANT STEAL?
RIVAL clubs continue to monitor versatile GWS Giants big man Adam Tomlinson despite his limited opportunities at senior level this season.
Tomlinson has played just two senior games in 2016, with the Giants preferring fellow talls Rory Lobb and Jon Patton in the forward line.
However, the 22-year-old has been in dominant form at NEAFL level and gathered an incredible 44 disposals and 13 marks against the Suns reserves last weekend.
Tomlinson, 193cm, is a genuine utility and in eight league games last year he spent 50 per cent of time in defence, 30 per cent in attack and 20 per cent in the midfield.
The Victorian is contracted until the end of 2017, but is likely to seek a trade should he fail break into the Giants team in the second half of the year.
It was reported that the Giants rejected an offer from Carlton for pick No. 11 in last year’s trade period, however the club’s position may be different 12 months on.
Lobb has been a revelation in the forward line and while Jon Patton’s form has been modest, the former No. 1 pick is building continuity.
Further to this, the Giants a number of key position players coming through their academy that will be available in November’s national draft.
Tomlinson could be off loaded to find list space, and points, to secure academy prospects Harrison McReadie (196cm), Zac Sproule (197cm) and Max Lynch (200cm).
The Oakleigh Chargers product has played 45 AFL games since he was drafted with pick No. 9 in the 2011 national draft.

Yep, Im hoping his name is at the top on our trade time hit list.
Reckon he is the big body mid that we have been trying to get with the moneyball approach.
Thought he looked good in his champ games at u18 level and has looked good at times when playing in the middle for GWS.
Make no mistake, this kid is very good.
-
bc we're turning Lennon into a backman silly
and when we get Matera we will have a spare backman to play in the Ressies, :whistle
Masterplan, in bizarro world Dimma wants the whole team playing as backmen :scream
-
Not sure if we could land Hurley AND Prestia.
Think we could get Prestia AND Tomlinson.
Would prefer the latter over just Hurley.
-
We could get all three and a couple more if we really tried - don't forget the cap will increase after next year, you can back end contracts, trade out players & clear out dead wood, let Vickery walk and whilst Tomlinson & Prestia will cost players and/or picks, Hurley won't....and with the bidding system we could probably do all that and trade back into the early rounds of the draft as well...just need to be smart & bold...

I think we can only speculate as to how much room we have in the cap, but I suspect it couldn't be much more than a mill.
If we grab the aforementioned, it would cost around 1.8ish I would have thought.
How much is Vickery on at the moment? Chaplin comes out of contract and that will free up a bit I think,
Don't forget, we have to recontract a few as well. Id say we're going to have to upgrade Vlastuin by around 300k a year.
-
as long as we dont panic and resign players like griff, vickery and chaplin until we get some big fish over the line, we have enough room. Then we caneiter offer a take it and leave it to the under performers or better yet just squeeze them out completely and bring in young draftees on min wage

The aflpa hasn't agreed to salary cap numbers yet, the cap will go up lots
The TV rights are like 3 billion
We have a heaps of overpaid spuds
No excuses

But will the amount of the increase in the salary cap have to be divided up among all of our contracted players? AKA - a pay rise for the players ...
When Sydney got their COLA through they bundled it all up & went shopping for Tippett & Franklin because they had heaps of cap space, so remind me, what happened next?

It's not communism - pee of te rubbish players , go hard with big contracts for hurleys and swallows
Apart from hunt , b Ellis, Houli, Morris, Townsend all the expendable a are out of contract in a few months
B Ellis would hve trade value
-
We could get all three and a couple more if we really tried - don't forget the cap will increase after next year, you can back end contracts, trade out players & clear out dead wood, let Vickery walk and whilst Tomlinson & Prestia will cost players and/or picks, Hurley won't....and with the bidding system we could probably do all that and trade back into the early rounds of the draft as well...just need to be smart & bold...
If only they could manage to learn the art of trading out and having extra picks to then trade with.
-
The academy picks may help us just snag a player like Tomlinson with a bunch of dud(ish) picks :clapping. Trade out the duds for whatever we can get!

Got dropped this week from a pretty vanilla midfield. Questionable attitude it seems as well.
Again like Prestia he's ok but I don't think he'll ever be an elite mid and if he comes here he'll be getting paid like an elite mid. I'm just not a fan of mids with limited upside who peak in their early years before people realise what they are.
-
Amusing to see people writing off Prestia after one poor third of a season in a crap side he doesn't want to play for.
Having said that, the real gold to be found is at GWS - more than half their NEAFL side would walk into our first 22 purely on talent.
Of course Hartley would overlook all of them and find another Townsend.... :gotigers
-
gws got twice as much draft wise, than gc did
so it makes sense their is twice as much talent there
i think

They also have to shed 600k worth of players this year to stay under the salary cap.

* Brad Crouch, North Ballarat, 12 January 1994, 184cm, 83kg
The hard-working midfielder ended the championships on crutches after suffering an ankle injury early in the fourth round clash against WA. The All Australian selectors had seen enough in three games to include him in the prestigious team thanks largely to his average disposal efficiency of 76 per cent a game.
http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/2011-07-13/the-top-2011-draft-prospects
The AFL Mini-Draft was a brainchild of the powers that be in order to allow Greater Western Sydney to recruit experienced players whilst giving up access to the best 17-year-olds in the country. The plan didn’t work as intended, with Adelaide, Melbourne and Gold Coast offering up draft picks as the expansion clubs stocked up on talented youth as opposed to experienced senior bodies. The four players chosen in Jaeger O’Meara, Brad Crouch, Jack Martin and Jesse Hogan, have all had their issues with injuries or discipline as they have entered into the AFL landscape. Coming into their third and fourth seasons respectively, the time has come to assess the players and determine who will be the best of the lot going forward.
Brad Crouch
Price: Pick 10 (Liam Sumner) Compensation pick first round (Toby Greene) for Crouch and Luke Brown
Brad Crouch was drafted out of North Ballarat with the second pick of the mini-draft and he has had a slow start to his career. Derailed by hamstring issues early in his first season, he came back strongly to finish the season as a dominant midfielder. Averaging 24.5 disposals, Crouch showed his aptitude to win possessions. Such was his finish to the season, he surpassed Oli Wines in the Rising Star voting to finish second behind O’Meara.
Crouch was ranked first amongst rookies for effective disposals per game, first for uncontested possessions per game and third for clearances per game. After his end to 2013, much was expected of Crouch coming into 2014. He again found himself in the treatment room to begin the season and fractured his leg in the Showdown in Round 2. He returned again later in the season and in a carbon copy of his rookie year, finished the year strongly racking up disposals.
In 2015, it was earmarked for Crouch to play a full season, but like fellow mini-draft Jaeger O’Meara, he succumbed to a persistent foot injury, restricting him to two SANFL games before experiencing more foot soreness and being sent in for surgery.

2016 now shapes as a crucial year for Brad Crouch, and with a new coach it has gotten off to a rocky with him disciplined for failing to meet club standards. Like O’Meara, his career seems to have stalled just as it appeared he was ready to elevate himself into the elite echelon.

Fair call ,I wouldn't write him off as well but his disposal at times this year has been on par with Taylor Hunts. :chuck
Wind the clock back and he really looked a lot more dangerous with better disposal.
Having said that, the real gold to be found is at GWS - more than half their NEAFL side would walk into our first 22 purely on talent.
And the sad part is as they trade them out they just keep getting 1st roundersd handed back,can see this happening for the next 10 years too.

The Suns used a lot of their picks to lure established players where as the Giants did the opposite and went hard at the draft and no doubt took the right path.

yes - there is always a risk with recycled players
however we are currently running hacks in the best 22 - grigg, morrs, hunt, ?bellis
if we are going to get recycled types its good if they are:
- still young
- former very high draft pick

Tomlinson today.

Im not even surprised by those stats, he's a competitive beast and has big tank and would be at the top of my list this trade period.

The lions twos would be pretty crap. 100 possessions in two games is pretty solid.
Thank god Carlton didn't get him.
Gws were given twice as much as Gold Coast... We should be sniffing around.
More talented ones than Townsend

If ballantyne was available should we have a crack at him?
-
Will we have room in the cap after we snag Hurley and Prestia??
He'd (Ballantyne) be handy, but I'd prefer to invest in Rioli. In a good team, Rioli can still kick 2-3 a week without too much more development from where he's at now.
In a good team.....

Hurley, Prestia would be great pickups.
Then we really need to go hard after blokes like Jenkins and Nicholls. Would add a lot to our list.
Hurley and Jenkins will cost nothing.
Prestia and Nicholls will cost good picks - they'll probably want a first and a second round pick respectively, which I would be inclined to pay them.

He's clearly second after Taylor Walker and has bagged more goals than him this year whilst playing forward/ruck and taking the 2nd KPD.
Don't think you have any idea what you're on about.
This guy is extremely powerful and athletic, kicks goals, and is leagues ahead of the likes of Vickery and Griffiths.
-
Agree but will be 28 next year - would prefer investing in a forward who'll give us 7-10 years of good footy than maybe 3, possibly 5 years if he's very lucky....

Valid point!
I guess then you have to ask about guys like Deledio. We'll get 2-4 years max out of him from here. Trade or keep?
If we push for a flag we need to grab some serious developed talent at the end of this year or cut our losses and semi-rebuild in which case I wouldn't suggest Jenkins.
-
As a forward, I rate Tom Lynch ahead of Josh Jenkins. More consistent although Jenkins has the physical attributes to play freakish games

Im not sure about Hurley. They couldn't play him and Carlisle in the same side.
Can he play with Rance in defence or Jack in the forward line?
Clearly better player than Vickery and Griffiths but he needs to be able to play as part of a team.
His fitness seems to be a recurring issue as well.
Omeara would be a great pickup if he was over his injury.

Good player but so far definitely not a world-beater. Would certainly take him though as he's worth 30+ goals/year.

O'meara has worse issues than Hurley and Conca for that matter. Absolute no from me. Chris Knights mkII.

Article from afl.com.au
Mark Bowen
IF DION Prestia decides to leave Gold Coast, it is becoming increasingly clear he will join a Melbourne-based club that can offer him on-field success in the short-term and for the long-term.
Prestia, 23, comes out of contract at the end of this season and has attracted a wealth of interest from clubs throughout the country, but will only leave Metricon Stadium to return to his home state of Victoria.
Prestia won't turn his mind fully to his football future until the Suns' round 13 bye, when he is due to sit down with his manager, Marty Pask, to assess his options.
Martin's move paying dividends for Suns
However, the clubs with a realistic chance of luring Prestia are starting to emerge.
Rival clubs believe Richmond is well in the running, while Melbourne was strongly linked with the former Calder Cannon during last year's trade period.
And some Victorian teams that inquired about Prestia recently were told by Pask it was unlikely his client would consider them as possible new homes.

After six mostly success-starved seasons at Gold Coast, it's believed Prestia would not leave the Suns to join a team that is a few years away from contending.
This would appear to rule out Carlton and possibly St Kilda.
It's also likely Prestia would target a new home that could offer him sustained on-field success.
As such, he would probably be wary of joining any team he perceived to be near the end of its premiership window. North Melbourne is widely thought to be in this position, while even Hawthorn seems to be finally feeling the effects of Father Time.
Although most opposition clubs expect Prestia will leave Gold Coast, the Suns remain hopeful of re-signing the midfielder. They remain in on-going discussions with Pask and are comfortable with how those talks are progressing.
The Suns' position is also strengthened by the fact Prestia is not a free agent, meaning he can only depart Gold Coast via a trade or the draft.
Prestia was pick No.9 in Gold Coast's inaugural 2010 draft and industry sources believe the Suns would demand at least a pick around that mark should he request a trade.
The Assumption College product finished second to Gary Ablett in Gold Coast's 2013 best and fairest award and was third the following year.
A left knee injury ended Prestia's 2015 season after round eight and disrupted his 2016 pre-season.
The 23-year-old returned in time for the Suns' round one win over Essendon and has missed just one game since.
Amid Gold Coast's injury-ravaged start to the season, Prestia has stood up, averaging 24.9 possessions a game (third at the club behind Aaron Hall and Ablett).
He is also ranked second at the Suns this year for contested possessions and third for clearances, inside 50s and tackles.
Prestia is not the only out-of-contract Gold Coast player toying with a move at the end of the season.
Fellow midfielder Jaeger O'Meara is also considering a shift to Victoria, with the West Australian most strongly linked to Hawthorn and St Kilda.
O'Meara, 2013's NAB AFL Rising Star, has not played since rupturing a patella tendon in a NEAFL practice match at the start of last year, but the question marks over his ability to return to peak fitness and form have only marginally diminished the interest of rival clubs.
Ruckman Tom Nicholls and swingman Sam Day are also out of contract, with the former linked to the Western Bulldogs.

Trade Talk: O’Meara, Prestia & Tigers
Joshua Papanikolaou | 26 May 2016, 04:58PM
Gold Coast midfield pair Jaeger O’Meara and Dion Prestia will not be at the Suns next season given the club’s predicament and their delaying of contract negotiations, says Brett Anderson.
The talk surrounding O’Meara, who is currently still on his way back to senior football after a serious knee injury, has been growing and his football future seems to be in Victoria.
“I think they both go, personally, and that’s been a longstanding viewpoint for the last 12 to 18 months especially on Jaeger,” said Anderson on SEN radio.
“A little bit less with Dion but there was a press conference with him where, not trying to be a body language expert, but it didn’t bode well from what I looked at.
“Some of the comments about delaying contract talks, we know what that typically means.”
The SEN draft analyst noted that although Hawthorn has long been considered front-runners for O’Meara there are other clubs in with a good chance of luring the hot prospect.
“St Kilda, Hawthorn and Richmond are the three that I’ve heard for a long, long time,” said Anderson.
“I wouldn’t rule out St Kilda.
“The knee, you hear different reports, I’ve heard reports that it’s not great but you hear other things that it’s okay.
“Ultimately, if a club is looking to recruit Jaeger O’Meara it’s ‘we should get a discount based on his knee’ – well if you’re looking to recruit him you’ve basically already cleared the fact that his knee is okay, there’s no discounts that he might have a sore knee.”
Another highly rated midfielder likely to be at another club in 2017 is GWS Giants youngster Jack Steele who is a long way down the list of options available to coach Leon Cameron.
“I think Jack Steele plays at another footy club next year,” added Anderson.
“Now, I know Richmond really liked him in his draft year – really, really liked him – and he would fit them perfectly in terms of someone who could come in and play.
“He’s not one of those cast-offs that’s not playing, this is a genuine top quality kid who is just unfortunately stuck behind a pretty handy midfield.”

Would take Prestia and these two blokes as well. And if we're into Jenkins that suits me fine. Heck we'd have a good backline with Day alongside Rance and the forward line AND ruck would be much better with Jenkins. Add Prestia and I honestly think we'd only need another mid or two to be very competitive.
Trades like this should be a big priority. Grab all three players even if it costs us two first round picks. We could probably get a second round back with them maybe.

I'm clearly a big fan of Jenkins but that's surely about the limit of what you could pay a player like him.
For that sort of coin I'd rather have a shot at Tomlinson from GWS.

Would have to be stupid to offer Hurley the reported 900K a year, 5 year deal he wants. Fat man has had as many bad games as he has had good. Hes probably eating a donut as I write this.
At Richmond, he would probably turn into another Chaplin.
Time to get Jenkins was a couple years ago. Swap him for Vickery.

Are you planning on making Hurley Captain? He had one good season since 2008 as a no 5. draft pick. He would still make a better captain than Cotchin. :P
If you are happy to pay 900k for Hurley, then you can't afford to keep Cotchin. Remind me how many games Hurley has played this year? Whats the plan again, Dan?
-
Heard of front loaded & back ended contracts? Aware that the salary cap is about to increase? The fact you seem to struggle to grasp the art of list management and aren't prepared to pay for genuine talent - partly because you fail recognise it or it's value when it stares you in the face, leaves you having far more in common with Dan Richardson than I.

Winning AA selection in 2015 makes me think he may have had more than one good year, but what would me, half the population and the AA selectors know? He was a backman who was forced to be an (average) forward and most people knew that. Funny he turned it on when he went back to the backline

I'd pay him the 900k for 5 with a smile on my face.
Gain an AA KPP for 900K without giving up anything and not renew contracts of Grigg, Chaplin and Batchelor and have change.

hmm, a lot of those clubs paid their young stars overs in the formulative rebuild years - common knowledge that sam mitchell and hodgey are on 3-400k max now, but 10 years ago were in the high hundreds. Its called good list mangament - pay your franchise players ie the ones you want to build a team around for the next 10 years overs early bc youve gotten rid of the older guys on decent coin, which frees up space down the track to bring in high profile recruits

Isnt that exactly what happened with Dusty, Cotch and Jack?

We should try to get Josh Kelly to Richmond.

Giants will never get rid of kelly, they were happy to give up 2 x top 10 picks(dom tyson and Christian salem) to have the pick that would get him. Future superstar

No harm in trying but unless he truly wanted to leave I'd say no chance.

Spot on,his frame has noticeably thickened out too which will only help him.

Ta.
No he's not at this stage (O'Meara). Possibly Chris Knights MKII, unfortunately for him. If he was playing consistent then yes.
Lennon I feel is still an unknown quality but yes, he's probably missing off my currency list, as is McBean and Astbury. I'd like to see all three play out the year and either show potential or build currency ahead of Vickery, Chaplin etc. Griffiths I also want to see play out the year and make my decision then - when he's on song he's the kind of player we need; leads well, takes a mark, kicks big goals, quick by foot etc. On the other hand I've seen enough of Vickery to last a lifetime.
McBean and Astbury are worthless to us IMO unless they can prove otherwise or attract trade currency being tall KPP's.

Omeara will be cheaper cause of his injury issues

Plenty of money and draft picks (or traded for points!). At least $1.2-1.6+ million per year in salary space which would probably cover almost any combination of three of my wishlist players from the development clubs.
Fact is Vickery is a b!tch who thinks himself a goalsneak instead of a key forward. Houli is a jib and I think we're playing better without him. B Ellis is the same as Houli but not kind enough to get injured this year.
And Conca FMD I can't understand why so many people want to lick his feet. Talk about Kelvin Moore MKII as that injured player who just injures himself into our top half dozen. The guy has always sucked, been average at best, and is as injury prone as any player in recent memory. He might lay a good tackle and have a go but that's about it, and guys like him and A Moore and Townsend need to be cut loose. Being hard at it isn't enough anymore when you have guys like Miles and Vlastuin who can actually play and even Lambert looks better than them.
-
I am not sold lambert is ahead of conca
-
I am not sold lambert is ahead of conca
For me the fact that you aren't carrying on about how much better Conca is than Lambert speaks volumes of Lambert himself given where they have come from and what we expected of them. Statistically they're not that far apart IMO. I just think Lambert is a harder man, gets on the park and won't cost us much to retain etc.
Conca - pick 6 ND
23 going on 24 years old
185cm/83kg
74 games @ 17.89 disposals, 3.38 tackles, 3.73 marks
21 goals (0.28/game)
Lambert - rookie elevation
24 going on 25 years old
178cm/75kg
21 games @ 15.81 disposals, 2.90 tackles, 3.24 marks
13 goals (0.62/game)

Calm down goldilocks. I've never been over the hill with conca since before the draft, when it was announced he was a Richmond player pre draft ...
And always had a soft spot for lambert.
Lambert is a solider at best. Ideally would have a trelor in that spot

Not having a go. Conca is a player who people see in black and white nothing else. Not saying you're one way or another

Yeah you do but when we do it and it doesn't go to plan a number people on here go off like a bucket of prawns on a 40 degree summer's day because of their need to bash the club at every turn
Seen it in the last week :whistle

John Butcher and Liam Jones would fix our forward line woes.
Alipate Carlisle is better than Hurley and cheaper.
Armfield is peaking now, get him before his price skyrockets to a 4th round pick.
There's all our holes filled, with money left over for a big fish.

Probably Martin and our first rounder.

agree, although id rather give up our first rounder for patton

Well seing as Edwards & even Lloyd have been deemed untouchable, apparently we're going to get all these blokes just from trading the likes of Conca, Houli & Grigg.....oh and that top 10 compo pick we'll supposedly get for Vickery....

IMHO it goes something like:
Level 1. - deledio. Rance. Jack. Cotchin
Level 2. - martin.
Level 3. - Edwards. Miles.
Lloyd is expendable a the right price. Handy footballer but
-
Every player has a price.
I'd hand over Rance if Sydney offered Hanners and Parker.
-
I wouldn't....
...for Cameron & Shiel or Bontempelli & Stringer....maybe...
-
Everybody is expendable at the right price, but trusting the list management team to get the right price or make the right call with a draft pick is what makes me so reserved about trading guys like Edwards and Lloyd who are good contributors.
Vickery, B Ellis and Houli have currency and wouldn't be missed IMO. Lloyd and Edwards would definitely be missed.
-
If trading them out enabled us to bring better players in, I don't see how'd they'd be missed. Even before we bring those players in, we already have Lennon, Rioli & Butler - all forward/mids who can all cover Lloyd & Edwards an arguably all have more upside than Lloyd at least. Short can also cover Lloyd. All bar Lennon are probably even quicker than Edwards & certainly a lot quicker than Lloyd.
-
I'd trade Edwards because he's a realistic chance to get what he's worth. Lloyd on the other hand wouldn't get us much and don't think we'd get what he's worth but if he was needed as a sweetner then bye bye
-
How do you know

Edwards would get decent offers....
Jake Niall just said on AFL Tonight that Marchbank from GWS has put contract talks off until the end of the season - specifically mentioned Essendon, Carlton, Collingwood & St. Kilda as being interested but then said "and there will probably be a few other Victorian clubs..."

2nd rounder you'd think, no? Could (unlikely) steal us a late 1st rounder if another club rates him the way Richmond seems to. Whereas Lloyd would be lucky to get you a 5th rounder

agree with that - and you'd be happy to take a second rounder for him?
-
Probably, yeah. If it was pick around 20 I'd probably do it, we need another early 2nd rounder. If it was a later pick like 35 no I wouldn't.
-
IMO Edwards is easily worth a 1st round pick. Something between 10 to 15.
If you consider what other average players have gone for.
We were potentially getting pick 20 off Brisbane for a guy not even in our best 22 IMO..
Edwards has been a star over the last couple of years and in a decent side would be even better.
1st round picks sometimes get you BEllis types :banghead
Anyone with a brain in their head would take Edwards over BEllis.

I agree with this. We don't have a lot of X factor in the team. If we trade Edwards, what is the chance we'd get an upgrade on him if it were a 2nd rounder? Probably slim. So why would we take a slim chance to improve when there are better ways to build the side. I would rather trade Vickery for a second rounder. He is lazy and won't improve under Hardwick who seems happy for him to be lazy. The chances of an upgrade are much better than trying to upgrade on Edwards.

COLLINGWOOD vice-captain Nathan Brown is attracting rival interest as the Magpies’ backman battles to retrieve his senior spot.
The Magpies’ premiership full back is a restricted free agent and remains unsigned beyond this season, with two clubs known to be watching his situation closely.
Collingwood’s other free agents who face an uncertain future are Brent Macaffer, Jarryd Blair, Dane Swan and Alan Toovey.
Brown’s twin brother, Mitch, is also out of contract at West Coast and could be tempted to come home to Victoria next season.

At only 28 he is definitely worth a spot.
Apparently a super athlete that looks after himself extremely well so could potentially play for a little longer.
We could learn a lot off a guy like this.

Hurley, Patton and Jenkins will resign with their clubs.

Agree with Tomlinson but not with Corr, saying that I've hardly seen much of them. Not sure of his contract status and highly doubt we'd even get a sniff at him if we tried but what about N.Vardy? Injury prone as anything but would be the type we need over half-speed Vickery

Uncontracted Sun Dion Prestia close to making a call on his future
In demand: Three Victorian clubs are leading the charge for Gold Coast ball-winner Dion Prestia
Jon Pierik
The Age
12 June 2016
Gold Coast Sun Dion Prestia, one of the premier uncontracted stars this year, will move a step closer towards clarifying his future when he meets with his management this week.
Prestia, who will line up against Richmond at the MCG on Sunday, will sit down with his manager Marty Pask in Melbourne as the Suns enjoy the mid-season bye.
The hard-running midfielder has long been a focus of Melbourne clubs keen to tempt him home but has so far resisted lucrative offers. But, turning 24 in October, and with a desire to play in a successful side, while also weighing up a lifestyle move in terms of being close to home, the Sun now faces a pivotal decision.
It's understood the Suns have yet to offer Prestia a contract. Money is unlikely to be an issue, for the Suns have much room under the salary cap.
Taken with pick nine in the 2010 national draft from the Calder Cannons, Prestia has been with the Suns since they entered the AFL. He has played in 91 matches, including 10 this year, and was arguably their best against Sydney in monsoon conditions last week with 39 disposals. He has enjoyed a strong month, also having 28 touches against the Giants, 31 against Adelaide and 27 against the Eagles.
In a season which has gone horribly wrong, largely because of injuries, the Suns are also hoping fellow onballer Jaegar O'Meara re-signs.
O'Meara has not played a match since tearing the patella tendon in a knee during a NEAFL practice game in April 2015, having earlier battled knee soreness.
He is from Western Australia but has property in Melbourne and is understood to be weighing up all options.
In a recent Suns' members forum, vice-captain Steven May said he felt mateship would be a reason why the pair would ultimately remain.
"You can't question our mateship and the brotherhood we have at the club," May said.
"The last contract I signed I had offers to go elsewhere and at the end of the day it came down to the fact I couldn't leave my teammates. We all came here as 17, 18-year-olds and have gone through some tough times.
"The easy option would be to go to a Melbourne club that is playing finals. But if you have been here and gone through what we have gone through you see the light at the end of the tunnel and it's going to be so much more rewarding.
"It's part of the reason why I recommitted last year. I think the only reason why someone would leave is to go back home or for family. We are an incredibly tight bunch of guys here and that is ultimately what made me re-sign and why Tommy (Lynch) re-signed."
Coach Rodney Eade has said Prestia and O'Meara "are not going as far as we are concerned".

I think I would be happy to see the following players put on the trade table, if they have any worth;
Houli
Grigg
Conca
B Ellis
Batchelor
Vickery (if he doesn't show anything by years end)
Edwards
Astbury

Until our list management team is sacked and a new set of the best list managers available appointed to reshape our list this topic is irrelevant.
You are all commenting about a machine that is broken and cannot be fixed. A new engine, wheels, chassis, interior, electrical system, windscreens, suspension and body is required.
We are a total write off.
When a new list management team is appointed who know what they are doing we will improve. Until then, you may as well pack your bags cos we will not win a flag with the losers we have running our list management at the moment.
I would sack them today. I would have sacked them 5 years ago. Now is the time to do it. It is as obvious as the nose on your face.
Sundays match was pathetic. A list manager who has players of the style and caliber playing for the RFC should hang his head in shame and never be allowed to have anything to do with player recruitment or team vision at RFC or any other club for that matter.
I do not blame the players, they are the ones chosen from what we have available and are doing the best they can.
SACK OUR LIST MANAGERS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hackson should've been sacked before he read out the second syllable of "Conca"...

Sundays match was pathetic. A list manager who has players of the style and caliber playing for the RFC should hang his head in shame and never be allowed to have anything to do with player recruitment or team vision at RFC or any other club for that matter.
I do not blame the players, they are the ones chosen from what we have available and are doing the best they can.
SACK OUR LIST MANAGERS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this has been my point for a while now. No matter how many picks this dud hackson gets he will find a way to screw it up along with his mate flair hartley.

I don't train (spellcheck or autocorrect??) them... your point is invalid and just another attempt to stir. Most of that list won't be traded as I said because they are not worth it. So that actually only leaves about 4.

Josh Jenkins in Melbourne meeting with his manager.
Brisbane offering a $4m deal according to Barrett [didn't mention over how many years] . There are other offers but he doesn't know the financial terms.
"Richmond is certainly keen on what Jenkins is doing".
-------------------------------------
Barrett also said that everyone is interested in Prestia and O'Meara's futures. Barrett specifically mentioned Melbourne as being interested in Prestia. Jack Watts said he'd love Prestia at Melbourne as would other clubs.

5 years - 800k a year. Not worth anywhere near that

Another one we will miss. We wont get either of the two.

We're not interested in Jenkins from what I've heard anyway.
Also, I'd rather we chase a quality ballwinning mid whose 6'2", which is the direction the midfield game is heading, rather than another sub-6 footer.

Prestia gets a lot of the pill but he doesn't use it all that well. Like Bellis.
-
From Nick Bowen's Q&A live chat on the AFL website:
Q. Any news if some one is trying to get Jack Steele out of GWS?
A. Plenty of interest among Victoria clubs in Steele with Richmond believed to be leading the back.
Q. Do you think vickery or Griffiths will be pushed out of the Tigers team?
A. The Tigers don't appear to be in any rush to re-sign either Vickery or Griffiths. There's a strong sense the Tigers are in the market for a big fish - they've been linked to Jenkins, Hurley and Dion Prestia - so they'll probably wait to see how they go there before deciding on both big men.
Q. There's been a lot of talk about the Tigers needing to rebuild and get some younger players for next year with a new 5 year plan. Do you think they'll look at trading their senior, more experienced players such as Deledio for some young guns? Do you think this would be a good choice for them?
A. I think the Tigers need to consider trading some big names because their list needs at least a mini-rebuild. Deledio and Dusty are both free agents at the end of 2017 and given Martin's form you would only consider trading Deledio.
Q. Do you think Prestia and O'meara will leave, and where too? Also what do you believe will be the biggest trade of this year.
A. I think they'll both leave, although I'm more confident on Prestia. Richmond and Melbourne appear to lead the race for him, Hawthorn for O'Meara.
Q. Hey Nick, thoughts on Michael Hurley? has been talked about in Adelaide, as a possible move to the Crows
A. Hi Lachie, I think Hurley will ultimately stay at Essendon. Has been linked to Crows and I understand he would only join a non-Vic club if he left Essendon

I suppose the rest of the football world are wrong too rating Hampson...
I said I would give Vickery the rest of the season to improve, until then, I support him yes.
-
I don't believe we're interested in Jenkins despite what the media thinks. Certainly won't be if Barrett is right about Brisbane's $1m a year for 4 years being on the table :o.
If Hurley stays at Essendon, then there's really no big fish on offer. Prestia is a solid footballer (not A-grade), while Steele is just another fringe player.

We should be going after Tomlinson before Steele.

-
I'm sure we could easily find an upgrade on Vickery who can also ruck a bit better -which is all Jenkins would be- for a lot cheaper than that.....in fact, I believe we already have that in the VFL....better off chucking that kind of dough at someone like Patton if we were going to....

Total garbage though unfortunately.
Guys like Vickery hope for cheapies over the top.
Jenkins is genuinely fast and can crumb over the top but to suggest he isn't a marking forward is ridiculous. He's kicked about 40 goals this year alone and you reckon they're all cheapies in a team that actually has a genuine small forward to do crumb work? My god some people just can't acknowledge talent when they see it.
Consider that guys like Conca, Vickery and Chaplin have all seen pay packets over $400k as well. It beggars belief...

settle petal - yes absolutely imho he is over rated. yeah hes on fire this season good on him but for mine hes nothing more than a 3rd tall and paying 6-700k a season for him is ludicrous, simple as that no need to spit the dummy bc someone doesnt agree hes worth that much coin.
Hes performing better than patton this season but id take patton over him every single time bc hes the type of player you can build a fwd line around. Jenkins is there to compliment Walker and Lynch he plays around them and gets off the leash bc of it
-
Vickery is the man plain and simple.
Jack just doesn't take all his opportunities.
Jenkins, Pattons, Kennedy's etc won't fit in with Vickery's bop and flop play.
Need to get players of the ilk Jack Watts, Liam Jones, Jesse White to complement him.

Tom Rockliff’s future is up in the air after it emerged the Lions skipper has pulled a contract proposal he’d made to Brisbane off the table.
Relationships between club and captain are not strained and both parties say they want to strike a new deal but they are currently miles apart on the 26-year-old’s value.
Rockliff has a year to run on his existing deal, but his manager approached the club earlier in the year after Daniel Rich and Dayne Zorko were given lucrative long-term extensions, looking for a new five year deal, believed to be worth about $4 million.
But Brisbane baulked at the price and when negotiations stalled Rockliff became frustrated and withdrew his proposal.

Dion Prestia yet to decide on his playing future while Geelong keen on Gary Rohan
MICHAEL WARNER and JAY CLARK
Herald Sun
June 28, 2016
GOLD Coast Suns midfielder Dion Prestia has requested more time to decide on his future as Richmond and Melbourne circle the star playmaker.
Prestia’s manager, Marty Pask, met Gold Coast list chief Scott Clayton and footy boss Marcus Ashcroft in Melbourne on Monday but no agreement was reached.
And Geelong has shown interest in Sydney Swans’ speedster Gary Rohan.
Rohan, 25, is a free agent at the end of next season but the Cats could make an earlier move on the Geelong Falcons graduate if Rohan wanted to return home sooner.
The Suns have made a lucrative and long-term offer to keep Prestia, 23, who was taken with the No.9 draft pick in 2010.
But the line breaking onballer is yet to decide whether he wants to return home to a Victorian club with another meeting between Pask and the club scheduled for next month.
The Tigers are in the box seat to lure Prestia because Melbourne traded away its first round pick in this year’s draft last October.
Rival clubs say Prestia would command as much as $650,000 a season. Brisbane is believed to have offered Adelaide goalkicker Josh Jenkins as much as $750,000 a season.
Gold Coast chiefs are increasingly confident of re-signing fellow young gun Jaeger O’Meara but are less certain about Prestia’s intentions.
A Suns spokesman said the club was still hopeful retaining the Assumption College product.
“Talks are ongoing,” the spokesman said.
O’Meara is in line to make his return from nightmare knee problems in the NEAFL this weekend or the following week.
He has not played since Round 1, 2015 amid continued patella tendon problems.
But the Suns have been buoyed by his recent progress after an overhaul of its strength and conditioning department at the end of last year.
Gold Coast coach Rodney Eade said the club faced a challenge keeping all of its youngsters in the short-term as the Suns recover from an injury-marred start to the season.
“I think the test for us is obviously going to be the next 12 months,” Eade said on Triple M.
But the senior coach was optimistic both would stay.
“I’ve had chats with them but nothing too much as far as pressure because some blokes sort of obviously baulk at that sort of pressure,” he said.
“But talking about where we’re headed and whether they want to be part of it and what they’ve got to offer.
“I think to be quite honest, internally we’re still fairly positive about where it will head, but obviously only time will tell.”
“Jaeger is from country WA and he doesn’t want to go to Western Australia and Dion has made it clear it’s not about getting home for home sake so I don’t think that’s an issue.”

Here's the Herald-Sun article:
CLUBS have been told if they want Jaeger O'Meara next year the asking price is in the vicinity of $750,000 a year.
The Herald Sun can reveal clubs have been contacted by O'Meara's management and were told O'Meara would be seeking “elite midfield wages” if he was to leave the Gold Coast Suns.
Interest in the classy midfielder will further spike in the coming weeks when O'Meara makes his return to football.
He will decide on Friday whether to play in the Suns' reserve team at the weekend.
It would be his first game of football since injuring his knee in a NEAFL pre-season match at the start of last season.
A rival club official yesterday told the Herald Sun they were informed of O'Meara's requirements and were interested in recruiting the 2013 Rising Star winner, but did not have the salary cap space to accommodate him.
O'Meara's manager Colin Young could not be contacted this week and the Gold Coast refused to comment.
The Suns have told O'Meara, 22, they won't make any media comment on discussions and/or contracts involving him.
If O'Meara wanted out of the Suns, a blockbuster trade involving draft picks and would be required.
Despite O'Meara saying this year he had ''no interest'' in talking to Melbourne-based clubs, it would appear his management is doing the talking for him.
“I’ve told him (Young) to wait and let me do my thing and get back to playing footy and feeling good about my body again,” O’Meara said then.
“I’ve advised my manager and I’ve spoken to the club and our general manager (Ashcroft) and list manager (Scott Clayton) and I’ve let them know I want to get back to playing consistent senior footy, and once I’m able to do that, then I’m sure discussions will start to take place.”
Industry sources have said it is difficult to put a salary figure on O'Meara because, while talented, he hasn't played football for 18 months.
The Suns say they are confident of keeping both O'Meara and Dion Prestia, who on Monday postponed contract discussions with the club.
The Herald Sun reported yesterday both Richmond and Melbourne were circling the midfielder, who could command a salary of up to $650,000.
In March, the Herald Sun first linked O'Meara with reigning premier Hawthorn.

-
And the response to the Hun article:
GOLD Coast midfielder Jaeger O'Meara's management has angrily denied suggestions AFL clubs have been told an asking price if they hope to secure the out-of-contract Sun.
Colin Young, who manages O'Meara, described the suggestion as ridiculous and said the plan has always been to wait until the NAB AFL Rising Star winner had returned to football before discussing his next contract.
"We have said all along Jaeger would not be speaking to any club, whether it be his own club Gold Coast or any other club in the AFL, until he has played a substantial amount of football in 2016," Young told AFL.com.au.
"To think that management would be speaking to any club and seeking any price at this stage is absolutely ridiculous."
AFL.com.au understands many Melbourne clubs have been taking a wait and see approach with O'Meara, believing it was impossible to assess his value while he was still sidelined.
Meanwhile the Suns have become increasingly hopeful they could retain the player they picked up as a pre-draft 17-year-old selection.

Sydney Swans utility Dean Towers is emerging as a potential trade target for a growing number of rival clubs.
Towers is due to come out of contract at the end of this season and the 26-year-old is attracting strong interest among opposition clubs, including some in his home state of Victoria and the Brisbane Lions.

Richmond, meanwhile, is making a strong bid for Gold Coast’s out of contract midfielder Dion Prestia, and the Tigers have earmarked their first draft choice for the 23-year-old if he confirms that he wishes to return home to Victoria.
While other Victorian clubs have been linked to Prestia, including Melbourne, the Tigers are a confirmed strong suitor and would be willing to part with their first draft pick to secure Prestia, 23, whose management has asked the Suns for more time to make a decision on his future.
As the ladder stands today, 11th placed Richmond would be giving up pick No. 8 for Prestia if they managed to land him and the Suns were amenable to receiving a high draft pick this year.
The Tigers lost a fierce — and at times contentious — battle with Collingwood for Adam Treloar last year, which also meant they retained their first pick (No. 12) and drafted forward Daniel Rioli. Should they land Prestia, their major target this year, the Tigers, in effect, would have the combination of Prestia and Rioli instead of Treloar, given that Richmond offered Greater Western Sydney both their 2015 and 2016 first round choices for Treloar.
Richmond still has a number of regular senior players out of contract at season’s end, including talls Tyrone Vickery, Shaun Hampson, Ben Griffiths and Ivan Maric, along with Shaun Grigg.

Concerning. I'd reluctantly give up pick 8 for Prestia but anything higher I don't think we can afford to give up. The first 30 players in this draft are supposed to be absolute crackers, don't think we can afford to cut ourselves out when every other club will have one possibly two of the '16 draft class.

Dougey- I'd say we'll trade our way into top 30 but not top 10

So if we trade 8 for Prestia, our 1st pick will be our 3rd rounder...
We better get back into to 2nd round at least
-
DO NOT GIVE UP OUR FIRST ROUND PICK!
Isn't Prestia a FA?
-
DO NOT GIVE UP OUR FIRST ROUND PICK!
Isn't Prestia a FA?
Think this is his 6th season (2010 draft pick 10?), and it needs to be 8 before you're a free agent.
Agreed, I dont want to have to give up our first round pick, but what else will get it done?
-
We continue to ignore our kpp situation. FFS trade for a couple of quality kpps or are we going to rely on the likes of Chaplin astbury Elton Vickery again.Are we gunna hope Griffiths after how many tears finds some decent consistency.
This draft is chock a block full of mids but is light on for talls.Address the areas that should be addressed first and we should be able to pick up a decent mid or two late in the draft.
-
Agreed but I dont think we should pass up a quality mid that wants to come to us unless we have an obvious alternative ie we have to choose between Prestia and Hurley.
-
Why would u have to choose
-
why wouldnt you give up an early pick for a player that has shown he can play at the level and is about to enter his prime?
so you can use the pick on a kid that has a slim chance of being an outright star, but has around a 40% chance of being a bust and will most likely be 3-4 years away from having any real impact if he does make the grade?
-
Yep. I would take Prestia for pick 8 in a heartbeat.
-
I heard a whisper that Hogan is all but gone to Freo for $1.2 million per year. :whistle
Didn't he sign a somewhat lengthy contract recently-ish. Yeah, super specific I know
-
nah out of contract end of 2017, dees have been trying to get him to sign since early last year.

I'd have absolutely no problem if every one of them you named were moved on.
Yep. I would take Prestia for pick 8 in a heartbeat.
If we do use our 1st for Prestia then we should be getting 1 of there 2nd rounders as change I would think.
-
:lol
and a scratchie ticket is legal tender
-
FMD some people
-
And a mouth hug to seal the deal.
Wow
-
nah out of contract end of 2017, dees have been trying to get him to sign since early last year.
Yeah that's true. I'm thinking of some other guy
-
Interested to hear the reasoning behind why anyone in their right mind would part with a pick as early as 8 for a small who has been average by foot
for most of this season.
2 years ago looked like he could be a real good type but lately,meh.
-
because even top 10 picks have a 45% odd chance of being a bust, based on playing 100 games with the club that drafted him.
So your greatly valued pick has basically a 55% chance of getting a player as good as the player you are trading for, and even less chance of being a better player.
It will most probably also be 3 or 4 years at least before your draftee has any real impact, if he does at all.
havnt i already posted this?
-
Just wanted to know why people think Prestia is worth a pick around 8.
Didn't even mention the draft.
:facepalm
-
pick 8 has nothing to do with the draft?
:facepalm
when you trade a pick for a player you don't take into consideration the likelihood of matching or bettering that player at the draft table?
:facepalm
-
Can't you say it more politely ?
-
give an example please?
-
Just wanted to know why people think Prestia is worth a pick around 8.
Didn't even mention the draft.
:facepalm
Because Prestia is a proven good-very good player who is entering his prime. Pick 8 is an unknown player who will need time to develop.
-
Your poor attempts at trolling make me feel sad for you Al.
But luckily you enjoy reading your own material even when its below par.
-
why is that trolling?
simple line of logic.
if you cant follow it, doesn't mean its trolling.
to determine if a player is worth a pick, you have to be able to put a value on the pick, surely?
how else do you do that besides the likely hood of that pick netting an equivalent or better player?
and that line of thinking is below par, according to you?
-
another who cant follow simple logic or reasoning.
what a surprise you'd jump in with that rather contribute something worth while to the discussion.
-
Just wanted to know why people think Prestia is worth a pick around 8.
Didn't even mention the draft.
:facepalm
Cause to get Prestia you'd have to trade a draft pick
Hence the draft and prestias value is directly related
-

:facepalm
Once again I didn't say that, you have.
when you trade a pick for a player you don't take into consideration the likelihood of matching or bettering that player at the draft table?
:facepalm
Oh,is that how it works?
:clapping
to determine if a player is worth a pick, you have to be able to put a value on the pick, surely?
This is basically what I'm referring too, do you think he is worth exactly pick 8 and WHY?
What traits does Prestia possess that warrant a pick so high?
Cause to get Prestia you'd have to trade a draft pick
Hence the draft and prestias value is directly related
Correct but my post was about WHY some people think Prestia is WORTH pick 8 in a trade.
Is he actually WORTH a pick as high as 8 considering his form is no better this year than say Grigg?
-
you must rate grigg pretty highly then.
I have already given my reasons as to why i think he is worth pick 8 or thereabouts, both in regards to where he is at and what pick 8 is worth.
-
They're only stats but I would've thought the meatball would of had slightly better stats than Grigg, I was wrong.
Prestia vs Grigg (http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_player_compare?playerStatus1=A&tid1=24&playerStatus2=A&tid2=15&type=T&pid1=3455&pid2=1737&fid1=S&fid2=S)
-
try for averages for their career and see how it stacks up.
then just for poos and giggles, compare them to cotch.
Prestia is a clearance machine, thats the engine room for everything else.
was second for clearances and 9th for contested possessions in the league last year.
I reckon Grigg gets a raw deal at times from some on this forum, but prestia is miles ahead of him, considering his best should still be in from of him, while grigg has probably peaked
-
I dont need to compare I've been watching him and I agree his form was a lot better back then and his disposal by foot was also better but
right now when the suns have needed him to rise to the occasion, IMO he hasn't.
Im all for using a 1st rounder to get a mid in but I'd rather use next years rather than this years as there is the possibility :pray that we may have a pretty good father son selection
to choose.
Also I'd go Brad crouch over Prestia if I had to use our 1st this year.
-
Prestia has already checked out of the Suns
-
Never seen Prestia play as bad as Grigg did tonight.
Bet all the guns will be queuing up to play alongside him, Hunt, B.Ellis, Conca etc......
-
Never seen Prestia play as bad as Grigg did tonight.
Once Hardwick gets a hold of him you won't have to wait too long.

Rockliff, O’Meara on Saints’ radar
Herald Sun
4 July 2016
Montagna was asked about Rockliff after it emerged this week he had pulled his latest contract proposal off the table.
“Hopefully we can lure a big name whether it is a Dion Prestia or a Jaeger O’Meara (both from Gold Coast) or (Brisbane’s) Tom Rockliff ... someone like that will certainly add to the team.”

Would take the asian
youre taking the psis surely?

I like him
The grigg vs linsanity match up has me in stitches every doggies game
-
Lin Jong is a good prospect, big frame too for a mid. Can jag a goal here and there too. Would be a cheap option and I'd take him into the side but he won't be an A-grade player either.
Would consider Lewis Taylor too.
-
Melbourne is not interested in Prestia. They are after defenders (Hibberd).
Source: Mark Stevens on Ch 7 news tonight.
-
Barret reckons we're into Devon Smith again and Prestia is only a fall back if we dont't get him. Still contracted for next year but GWS need to shed 600k from their salary cap.
Considering his history with Smith, it hopefuly might also be a sign that we're looking to trade out Conca.
Then again , Lockett went to Sydney with Peter Caven still on their list.

Lockett to Richmond was done.
Afl stepped in sent him to Sydney

Errr no it wasn't close
And err no re the AFL
Tigers wouldn't give up the players that St Kilda wanted for Lockett
Yet they accepted less from sydney than what they wanted from us?
Lockett decrared Richmond as his preferred club, largely due to his fathers friendship with Northey.
St Kilda demanded one of campbell, knights and I cannot remember the last , maybe free? plus picks
They accepted 3 average players and some picks instead
The AFL wanted Lockett in Sydney, and in the end he was happy to oblige due to him being under police investigation for dodgy dealing in greyhound stud shenanigans, which he ultimately left his mate Mcdonald to carry the can for.
The whole thing stunk of crap stained corruption

Six players on the ruck role roundabout
AFL.com.au
July 8, 2016
HALF A dozen out-of-contract ruckmen are attracting interest from AFL clubs looking to bolster their ruck stocks at season's end.
The six players opposition clubs are hoping to entice into the annual rucking revolving door are Jarrod Witts (Collingwood), Nathan Vardy (Geelong), Zac Clarke (Fremantle), Majak Daw (North Melbourne), Tom Downie (GWS), and Tom Nicholls (Gold Coast).
Witts has been linked with the Brisbane Lions, while Vardy has reportedly attracted interest from the Western Bulldogs.
Both players have been starved of opportunities after being touted as potential stars after just a few games.
Witts attracted interest from the Giants at the end of last season but decided to stay with the Magpies, however he has only played two senior games this season after a finger injury ruined the first half of the season.
The 23-year-old could attract a second-round draft pick if he was traded, with Brodie Grundy's stronghold on the senior ruck spot and the emergence of Mason Cox limiting his chances at the Magpies.
Vardy has played 25 games since making his debut in 2011. A hip injury and a knee reconstruction have made life difficult for the 25-year-old.
He has played just one AFL game this season, but been fit enough to play nine VFL games and appears to have slipped behind Mitch Clark in the pecking order.
At his best, Vardy is an exciting ruck-forward.
Fremantle's athletic free agent Zac Clarke will attract interest from Victorian clubs, while North Melbourne is keen to retain Majak Daw but he will be in demand if he chooses to explore options elsewhere.
Downie has been in excellent form in the NEAFL for the Giants and is a solid back-up for Shane Mumford.
Carlton and Richmond are understood to have been among several clubs monitoring the 23-year-old, who has played nine games for the Giants since his debut in 2013, which was against the Tigers.
He is understood to remain a required player for the Giants, which recruited him in the 2011 NAB AFL Draft.
Another required ruckman yet to sign is Gold Coast's Tom Nicholls, although parties are understood to have been having positive discussions about his future.
Nicholls battled to cement his position as No.1 ruck early in the season after the club cleared Zac Smith to Geelong, but he has returned to good form in recent weeks.
Geelong is one of the few clubs with more than one top quality ruckman on its list, with Richmond, the Brisbane Lions, Carlton, North Melbourne and Melbourne understood to be in the market for at least a back-up ruckman.
At the end of 2015, seven ruckmen changed clubs, with Smith joining Geelong (14 games in 2016), Matthew Leuenberger joining Essendon (13), Dawson Simpson joining the Giants (no games), Callum Sinclair joining the Sydney Swans (13), Daniel Currie joining Gold Coast (four), Jonathan Giles joining West Coast (one) and Andrew Phillips joining Carlton (eight).
Hawthorn's 2008 premiership team was the most recent flag-winning combination to not have at least one ruckman recruited from another club.

St Kilda demanded one of campbell, knights and I cannot remember the last , maybe free? plus picks
St Kilda wanted Campbell, Naish and one other player whose name escapes me

Errr no it wasn't close
And err no re the AFL
Tigers wouldn't give up the players that St Kilda wanted for Lockett
Completley incorrect WP.
Would say my info on this is very correct ;)
Saints & Tigers couldn't do a deal and St Kilda didn't really want to deal with the Tigers at that time
-
yet they took significantly less from Sydney than they wanted from us?

Yeah I dunno what they mean. We could force them to trade for him, but that could be a risky move as they'd offer him around the 5's to get him across and it might mean we'd have to pay him that much if he decided to stay with us. Not sure what compo we'd get but I doubt it would be anything better than end of first round (which all things considered would be stuffing excellent).

According to Barrett last night:
Hurley is 50/50 to stay at Essendon. Six clubs are interested in him. North & Bulldogs are the latest ones. Barrett feels Hurley will stay at Essendon despite the issues he and his family have relating back to the supplement saga.
Rockliff's future won't be sorted out until end of season. Adelaide interested.
Victorian clubs are interested in Crow Brad Crouch, which would free up salary cap space for Adelaide to poach Rockliff.
Sydney are willing to offer Mason Wood $500k p.a. to move from Arden St.

Dion Prestia will be sidelined longer than first expected.
Prestia missed the Suns' 48-point loss to the Bulldogs in Cairns on Saturday night and Eade was unsure how long the out-of-contract playmaker would be missing from his injury-ravaged side.
Prestia was listed as a test on the club’s injury list in the days leading up to the Bulldogs clash.
"(Dion's) going to Melbourne to see a surgeon on Monday (and) he might have a clean up of his knee," Eade said.
"At this stage we don't know long (he'll be sidelined), but it should only be a short amount of time."
-----------------------
Eade played down fears O'Meara had suffered a setback in his recovery, with the star youngster pulling up tight in the calf and hamstrings in his third NEAFL game back from a serious knee injury.
Also out of contract at season's end, the 22-year-old sat out the second half of the game as a precaution after collecting 18 disposals and kicking a goal.
"He could have played the second half, but there's no reason to risk (him)." Eade said.

I won't be banking on getting any decent players to the club based on the crap we have been fed in the past, that way I will pleasantly surprised IF we actually get anyone above average.

i remember that well, we more pushed Maxfield and offered Chris Naish a stupid amount to stay at the club as we were scared Sydney would take him, all in vain as they could only take one player from a club at that time and Chris Naish ended up being one of our highest paid players.

GOLD Coast midfielder Dion Prestia has played his last game for 2016 – and possibly his last in Suns colours.
Prestia is having surgery in Melbourne on Tuesday afternoon, with his knee injury worse than first thought
The out-of-contract 23-year-old has been playing with pain for much of the season, but aggravated the problem in round 16 against the Brisbane Lions.
The recovery period is six weeks, ruling Prestia out of a return to action this year.
Prestia will have his bout of knee surgery and then decide on his future.
"He'll miss the rest of the year," Gold Coast football manager Marcus Ashcroft told AFL.com.au.
"We thought it'd be touch and go, but with five weeks remaining, there's not enough time to come back.
"He's pushed through most of the year with what he's had."
Prestia has "wear and tear" and some floating bone in the knee that needs cleaning out.

Disagree. Can play with injury is a great ability to have. Gets the ball which is an important trait too.
For me it's all about what we give up for him. Next years second rounder plus a player?

Would have him for the right trade but is more of a depth midfielder than a big fish.
Maybe as you say a second rounder and an average player.

Heeney is a NSWelshman and comes from a Rugby background. I'd be less inclined to grab him over a lot of others.
-
WTF has that got to do with anything? Have you seen him play? By that logic you'd also pass on Kieran Jack.

Never heard of a player wanting to move home or not wanting to move to a particular state before?
-
Ok then, let's not recruit any interstate players then.....anyhow, you said you'd be less inclined to grab him, not what he'd be inclined to do....if he didn't want to move interstate it's a moot point what we'd be inclined to do.....and still not sure what his Rugby background has to do with anything....except possibly make him a good tackler and Geez knows we need more of them....
-
So would you have passed on Carey because he's from NSW? How about Fyfe because he's from WA? Besides, you said you'd be less inclined to grab him, not what he'd be inclined to do....if he didn't want to move interstate it's a moot point what we'd be inclined to do.....and still not sure what his Rugby background has to do with anything....except possibly make him a good tackler and Geez knows we need more of them....
Hmm, I think that's exactly it. I'd be LESS inclined over a guy who'd I'd have doubts over his desire to come to Vic, than 2 guys (in Prestia and J'OM) who have all but stated they want to come (back) to Victoria.
His Rugby background has nothing to do with the conversation except to say he's a born and bred NSWelshman. Hey, we could trade him over and he could become the greatest recruit in RFC history and I'll eat my words. But I'm less inclined to Heeney as he's from NSW.

Do you mean like Miles was from NSW?

Pretty much commonly accepted he wants to come to Victoria.

Caught up with a mate from inside the kennel today.
Apparently:-
- Into McBean in a very big way and Richmond open to discussions for a swap for a fringe player or a pick. Bulldogs Coach is big into mobile Fwds who can ruck and believe they can develop him to a genuine quality rotating ruck....which would be quite a feat considering what I've seen between jnrs at Aberfeldie and his time at Richmond, this is not in his natural game. No further details available at this stage.
- Hurley tossing up between two clubs, Bulldogs and another (he wasn't told the other).
- Jong to pies is pretty much done and they are managing him out of the place. No surprises there I guess.

Conca for Tom Lamb and a swap of late draft picks. They are both very keen to go home.......would this be suitable?

it gives us maximum flexibilty & gives us the chance to strengthen our Draft position, which is the road i hope we go down

Here's my crack at what we should do at seasons end:
Lennon/Vickery & a 3 round pick to Carlton for Pick 5
Conca to WC for pick 30ish
Deledio to the Giants for Patton (straight swap)
Pick 7 to GC for Prestia & a second round pick
Out - Vickery, Lennon, Conca, Lids, Pick 7, 50
In Patton, Prestia, Pick 5, 22, 30

Vickery is a RFA. He won't be traded unless we force it; which we wont.

Not sure about all this. C. Young is the manager of Bennell and P. Connors is the manager of Hurley. Connors has a great working relationship with the Tigers starting way back with the way we handled Graham Polak.

Surely a manager wants the best possible deal for his client - no room for personal vengeance.

It's between Essendon and the Bulldogs for Hurley according to the media.
Tom Browne said Hurley will make his decision in a month. St Kilda making a late play but the Bulldogs are favourites.
Damian Barrett also said the Bulldogs are the favoured club if Hurley quits Essendon. Other clubs questioning how the Dogs will fit Hurley into their salary cap given what they are paying Tom Boyd. So a question mark on whether Boyd will remain at Whitten Oval. Other clubs saying they won't pay Boyd's full contract if he leaves. Bulldogs though saying they will honour Boyd's contract.
Barrett also said Carlton is interested in O'Meara. O'Meara's injury is a new and separate one to the one that kept him out all year.
Chris Mayne may be part of any Brad Hill trade.
Michael Barlow expected to head back to Victoria.
-
Conca and our third for Barlow & their second.

Hurley looks Yarranesque at the moment...... :shh

However, unlike Chris, I doubt this will still be the case come first day of pre-season, let alone the end of January...

The style of footy we play must put players off coming to us surely.
Is the RFC that dumb they cannot see this?
We are stuck with Dimma for at least another year, he still has time to turn this around if only he wasn't so stubborn.
The game the other week against the Dogs was good to watch even if we did lose. He played the kids and seemed to let them play with a little more flair. Since then it looks like he has gone back to what got us to where we are today.
Play to your strengths, take some chances and at the very least the game is exciting to watch.
We have some decent kids coming through IMO and now is the time to ease out the list blockers like Grigg and Hunt. Not bring in Houli.

Hurley is not coming because of a ridiculous low ball pitch by Dan the man. The senior playing group did their bit to get him to us but Dan lives in the "Geelong circa 2009" era where he feels that all players must accept unders to build a premiership side... :shh

The game the other week against the Dogs was good to watch even if we did lose. He played the kids and seemed to let them play with a little more flair. Since then it looks like he has gone back to what got us to where we are today.
Play to your strengths, take some chances and at the very least the game is exciting to watch.
We have some decent kids coming through IMO and now is the time to ease out the list blockers like Grigg and Hunt. Not bring in Houli.
Hurley is not coming because of a ridiculous low ball pitch by Dan the man. The senior playing group did their bit to get him to us but Dan lives in the "Geelong circa 2009" era where he feels that all players must accept unders to build a premiership side... :shh
Haha!
It's funny, even Geelong know now it's not possible but we live in fairyland about 7 years behind the good successful clubs.

Conca and our third for Barlow & their second.
Would do and I reckon they may as well
-
Barlow.... :help
-
I would take Barlow.

The style of footy we play must put players off coming to us surely.

Barlow has a very serious sholder injury and is rated only a 50% chance of resurrecting his AFL career.
Buyer beware.
-
how about buyer avoid even
-
We have to stop looking at these players, they are moved on from their current clubs be cause they are finished or not part of long term successful plans. Barlow has had his day in the sun, move on.
-
Well he is/was a mad Richmond supporter...can't see it though but gee.. :pray
We are due some luck ...
He good enough to carry the duds too

forget Barlow at his age, hit the Draft instead

We continue to ignore our kpp situation. FFS trade for a couple of quality kpps or are we going to rely on the likes of Chaplin astbury Elton Vickery again.Are we gunna hope Griffiths after how many tears finds some decent consistency.
This draft is chock a block full of mids but is light on for talls.Address the areas that should be addressed first and we should be able to pick up a decent mid or two late in the draft.
I'd have absolutely no problem if every one of them you named were moved on.
Yep. I would take Prestia for pick 8 in a heartbeat.
If we do use our 1st for Prestia then we should be getting 1 of there 2nd rounders as change I would think.
Everyone had been talking Hurley.
What do you think of Eric McKenzie at west coast.
Was almost A/A IN 2014.Did his knee just before the first round in 2015 and missed all of that year.He has taken some time to get back this year and has been a little on the outer. WCE have McGovern, Brown, Schofield Barass and McKenzie is the one on the outer atm.
He has shown himself to be a very high quality defender and would suit our needs down to the ground. Would be in his ear if i was in charge at the club and at least letting him know we are very interested.
Would also be asking Gws about both Tomlinson and Corr.Both have struggled to get regular games for various reasons, i know Corr had his share of injury and has struggled for form because of them.
If we managed to get all three our spine and kpp structure goes from poor to looking pretty decent.

Massive yes to McKenzie- can play and would be perfect to help out Rance.
Tomlinson- yes too but what is he worth! Our first pick??
Corr- no thanks, haven't seen anything to tell me he will be a good player.
-
If a player can not get a game at his current club there is a good chance he will be a list clogger at Richmond . The strategy of turning horse manure into strawberry jam does not , refer to our 30 year recruiting history
A and B graders or invest in the draft. If a player is not going to be a regular player I don't know why we hold onto him either.

Like your thinking claw but doubt Blair and dan would know who these guys are

Probably wishful thinking but it'd be nice to chase and snare, via a trade or FA, players that are quality and just as importantly can actually get out on the park regularly.
-
Seems the Hurley situation is more evidence of our inability in this area.

mmckenzie is no list clogger - having said that no way theyd let him go, form temporary class permanent - they rate him a lot higher than brown87

Have been keen on Tomlinson all year. Kid would be dying to get out of that club and get onto a list where he will get a game. Absolutely murdering the NEAFL.
McKenzie is a good idea, hadn't thought of it myself, but he still has plenty of years left in him, good size, and a proven player.
Don't know much about Corr but he's listed at 194/93 which is a handy size too.
Who completes your back line and forward line?
Grimes + Short + Vlastuin for me in the back line.
Rioli + Lloyd in the forward line.
-
If a player can't get a game at his own club why would they be more than a fringe player unless Richmonds playing is so far below the sides that player is recruited from
The strategy of getting C and D graders from others side has never worked and just ensures we have a lot of average players
Please prove me wrong and let me know all the players from other side that weren't getting a regular game that have been a success versus the ones that didn't go so well. Maybe we could turn it into a game. Stars vs Spuds
-
I think its pretty obvious the GWS list and it's depth is quite unlike any other in the salary cap era....for reasons that are equally obvious...
-
Pretty obvious they have players getting a game ahead of them so they are not in the first 22.
Pretty obvious the strategy of picking up players who can't get a game at their current club rarely works for Richmond. Fact or Fiction
-
Care to explain how they're supposed to play 22 first round draft picks on top of the half a dozen A-graders they traded in, all the highly rated academy kids and handy later picks like Lobb in the same side?
It ain't no ordinary list.....
-
out - recycling players
in - aggressive trading with a view to hitting the next 2 drafts
-
Easy you can't play more the 22 players the ones you don't play arnt always good enough to get a game in the 1st's. Just because you're a high draft pick doesn't ensure you will be a good player, in fact can I give you some examples say from our own club.
I will agree that GWS might have some exceptions because of the players age but I wouldn't be giving up to much for 2's players . In fact GWS are bank on the greed of other clubs to bid for their discards

29 next year and has only had one good year in his career. Would probably also demand quite a high price (whether trade of FA depending on his status). Would definitely look elsewhere first...

Some were rated pretty well too. They had to cut their list last year though. I believe it's the same again this year but I could be wrong

They're not going to give us both Devon Smith & Jack Steele for just Deledio...let alone those two and James Stewart as well....

Jay Clark has St Kilda keen on Jack Steele and no mention of us.
He also says almost every Vic club has inquired about WHE.
Victorian clubs target Hoskin-Elliott
JAY CLARK
Herald Sun
6 August 2016
GREATER Western Sydney youngster Will Hoskin-Elliott is open to a move home to a Victorian club next season as rivals circle the former No.4 draft pick.
The line breaking wingman has played only two games for the Giants amid a quad problem this season, but is on the verge of a senior return.
The Herald Sun understands almost every Victorian club has inquired about the utility’s plans, although he remains contracted to GWS next season.
Collingwood is one club which has been linked to the 186cm Hoskin-Elliott, after meeting with powerful 188cm Western Bulldogs’ midfielder Lin Jong mid-season.
From Western Jets, Hoskin-Elliott is a dynamic, goalkicking midfielder who has played some of his best football on the wide open spaces of the MCG.
However, the 52-gamer has struggled to cement his position in a GWS midfield which is flush with hard-running ball winners such as Josh Kelly and Tom Scully.
It’s understood Hoskin-Elliott, 22, will consider his options at season’s end, with the Giants needing to create space in their salary cap.
He kicked 26 goals from 20 games in 2014 but his career has since stalled, playing only 13 games, including a shoulder setback, over the past two seasons.
Versatile key position player Adam Tomlinson, intercepting defender Caleb Marchbank, tough midfielder Jack Steele and homesick goalkicker Cam McCarthy are also being courted from the Giants.
Tomlinson looks set to join Carlton, while the Saints have interest in Steele. Fremantle will certainly claim McCarthy.
The Magpies look set to trade back-up ruckman Jarrod Witts after an injury-marred campaign in what could lend itself to another swap with the expansion club.
Brisbane Lions and GWS are interested in the 209cm big man. Witts was recruited from Sydney University with pick No.67 in the 2011 national draft.

Hurley will leave Essendon to chase a premiership elsewhere, according to former teammate Paul Chapman.
Chapman said Hurley wants change.
“He is very loyal and those boys are really close and it will hurt him to leave,” Chapman said on RSN.
“But I think he craves success and I think he believes it’s not going to be at the Essendon footy club.
“He enjoys his time there but he wants more.”
The Dogs have confirmed their interest in Hurley, 26, but almost every club would be keen to lure the star big man.
St Kilda and Melbourne are other keen suitors.
Chapman said Hurley was not totally content at Tullamarine.
“I know there’s things at the footy club that he knows needs improving and if he doesn’t see these things happening he won’t hang around to live that any more,” he said.

Just ask him one question - Do you want to play alongside Alex Rance? :shh

Rance/Hurley/Grimes - name a better backline?
not sure how likely if at all but that's the selling point i'd be pushing.

I'd send him a big fat cheque

Ask him how much he would like Taylor Hunt, Brandon Ellis and David Astbury kicking it backwards to him all the time :shh

I heard exactly the same thing. Something like $1 million from the insurance and a very good new contract. Then again, a close relative of his said he is staying…..
Wow, talk about very different stories!
-
yep makes sense - however for him to leave, the offer from the other club will have to be well overs ie to make up the the money he will get in compo . For example - bombers offer 1mill compo plus 5 year deal at 900k p/a, if a bulldogs or saints want him to walk it will have to be 5 years at 1.1 p/a.
*figures are purely heresay used as an example - actual figures were never discussed with my mate

hes goneski from the bummers unless they offer him ridiculous "compo" for the drugs saga as well as his new wages. We are not a consideration.
Source - friend in the indusrty is managed by the same manager
Did your friend give a reason? First question I would've asked.

Cause we would of offered him unders big time

O'Meara getting more surgery on his knee - season over. Are we still interested in this kid?

Offer future 3rd rounder

I'd hold off on using that one till we know what's happening with Hurley :santa

O'Meara getting more surgery on his knee - season over. Are we still interested in this kid?
hell no. if anyone was still keen this should have knocked it on the head
-
If you could get him for squids (like a 3rd rounder) you'd do it but let's face it that is unrealistic. Would still command a very good deal.

he wants around $700k a year plus GC will want a mega return on a trade. given his injury etc no1 will touch him.

Hawthorn, St Kilda and Carlton amongst the clubs chasing O'Meara according to Mark Stevens on Ch 7 tonight.
Also, Fyfe will be a free agent next year and is considering his options on whether to remain at Freo or leave (Ch 7 mentioned coming to Melbourne and playing with a Victorian club).

No way. Why sit on your hands and hope someone may want to leave their club, potentially missing both. Go for both there's no reason why we couldn't afford both in our salary cap (unless Hampsons form has warranted a pay rise - was already on pretty big money :banghead)

I would offer Vickery, Griffiths & our first pick for Nat Fyfe this year.

ESSENDON won’t stand in the way of banned star Michael Hurley if he does not want to return to the club, but is adamant it will have to receive something in return.
Melbourne football manager Josh Mahoney confirmed today that the Demons and “every club would have asked that question to (player manager) Paul Connors about what Michael’s (Hurley) doing”, but until he makes a decision said the Demons “expect for him to stay at Essendon”.

For those panting after Prestia.
He played 8 games in 2015 out for the rest with knee surgery/ knee injuries.
He played 14 games in 2016 out for the rest with knee surgery/ knee injuries.
To give up pick 6 for Prestia would be lunacy.
The risk in not worth the reward.

According to Barrett tonight:
Cloke wants out of the Pies after being dropped tonight. Bulldogs showing interest.
Giants ruckman Rory Lobb is considering returning home to WA despite having a year to run on his current contract.

Fyfe will leave WA if he believes that he can win a premiership at the new club he moves too. He wants to win a premiership, he wants that success and he will move if necessary.
The unanswered question Fyfe is trying to resolve is, will the current Ross Lyon plan work? He has givern the club the next 12 months to prove to him that they are going to be contenders for a flag either next year or the next 1 or two.
He is not convinced that it is going to work and is prepared to cut his losses.

I can't believe I'm saying this but in this climate where several clubs are looking for ruck forwards Vickery will have inflated currency imo....doggies, pies, freo etc. We may get a half decent player or surprisingly high draft pick in return if we act now. I'm hoping one of our young talks will fill the very small void he leaves behind.

I'm not sure why anyone think we can trade for Vickery :huh
I'd trade for Tom Boyd - seems more the Tom Hawkins type where his best footy is still 4-5 years away but we might see proof of the potential next year or the year after.
I'd pay half his salary for a 3rd rounder and effectively Vickerys salary goes to Boyd.
Ty might land us a 2nd round compo pick.

I watched Boyd play ruck last night against Grundy, it made me appreciate Hammer a fair bit more! Boyd barely contested at centre bounces & did stuff all around the ground, he stood there & watched his team mates battle it out. Not even half a ruck & an over-paid, over-rated battler at full forward. Even Vickery has this bloke covered! :thumbsdown

A 22 year old full-time ruckman dominated a 20 year part-time ruckman so you appreciate our 28 year old ruckman more? I'm sorry but I think people forget how young this kid is and the fact he isn't a ruckman but more so a forward.
Also, Vickery may average half an extra goal a game this season but he averages less disposals, tackles and hit outs. It's pretty much trading a dud for a dud except one dud has the advantage of youth and development.
Saying all that, I wouldn't really go for Boyd, it was more tongue in cheek. He's on way too much money based on hope

Chunkster, where did I say Hammer did well against Grundy? Where? What I am saying is that Boyd is a $1mil worth of misery on his way to being a three club player by the age of 22! That doesn't make Hammer a star by any means. I will say that out of Grundy, Hammer & Boyd only one of them is worth a $1mil per season! Have a guess which one I think is worth it?

5 clubs after Hurley according to the AFL website and none of them are us.
COLLINGWOOD has emerged as a suitor for Michael Hurley as the Essendon key defender weighs up his future.
The star backman has attracted interest from many clubs, and has already been linked to the Western Bulldogs, Melbourne, St Kilda and Adelaide.

REIGNING premier Hawthorn is one of three clubs chasing injury-ravaged Geelong big man Nathan Vardy.
The Herald Sun can reveal the Hawks, Western Bulldogs and Greater Western Sydney have all flagged their interest in the 199cm ruck-forward.
The Cats want to keep Vardy, 25, but it is increasingly likely the opportunity-starved tall will request a trade at season’s end.
However, Vardy may have to wait for other key dominoes to fall in this year’s trade period before his new home becomes clear.
The Hawks have been linked to Richmond free agent Ty Vickery, the Bulldogs have emerged as the preferred new home for Travis Cloke and potentially banned Bomber Michael Hurley, and the Giants are waiting on a decision from athletic big man Rory Lobb.
The luckless big man has been sidelined for the past three weeks by an ankle sprain but remains hopeful of returning to action before finals.
However, his poor season in the VFL means his trade value has plummeted.
Rival clubs may only offer Geelong a third-round draft pick for Vardy.

Have it on very good authority that we're seriously considering chasing at least two or three of Cloke, Swan, Bartel, Barlow, Harvey, Ballantyne, Enright, Mayne & Hodge and a couple of other well regarded older types with premiership or premiership contending/finals winning experience..the club's reasoning being that we desperately need more onfield leaders & onfield coach types with composure, who've been successful & know how to win matches and instill higher standards in the playing group.... the club & football depatrment isn't quite unanimous this strategy but we should still prepare ourselves to see at least one of the above in yellow & black next year nonetheless....

Straight swap Vickery for Casboult and then get Cloke......will double our shots on goal and halve our scores....
Just so folks understand
There will be no trade or swap for Vickery.
He is a restricted free agent
So he gets an offer, takes said offer, we dont match and he walks = we get a compo pick, no trade
We win :clapping

How could we possibly win a trade to north for Lids?
Draft picks? Majak Daw? lol Drew Petrie and Boomer?
Ahh I hope not north!
Mason Wood is the only kid Norf have that looks to have star qualities. They will have an early teen pick as well. Other than that, they're all poo.
-
Rumour saying Conca for Crozier as a straight swap is a done deal. :pray
I like Conca but like Ty he could benefit from a change of environment. Crozier would be a fair trade.
I reckon its fair too. Would be reasonably happy.

$700k and two first round picks for a kid who hasn't been on the AFL park all year LMAO.
As for St Kilda they would be a genuine option for Fyfe. Have cap space and a great young list...

Hurley confirmed bomber:
Club statement: Michael Hurley
Essendon Football Club is thrilled to announce All-Australian defender, Michael Hurley, has secured his long-term future at the Bombers after agreeing to a new five year contract extension.
The 26-year old’s new deal will see him run out in the red and black until the end of season 2022.
Hurley said he was looking forward to being reunited with his teammates.
“I took the time I needed to come to this decision, and to be honest I couldn’t see my future anywhere other than Essendon,” Hurley said.
“What became clear was my strong bond with the playing group, I have some really great mates at the Club, we’ve made a lot of progress and I want to achieve success alongside them.
“The Club has made significant changes, John has had a huge impact in a short period of time and I’m looking forward to playing under him next season and beyond.”
Chief Executive Officer, Xavier Campbell, said Hurley’s recommitment is a significant show of faith in the direction of the football Club.
“Michael is an extremely loyal person who loves his teammates, and we are extremely pleased he’s going to be a Bomber for the next five years,” Campbell said.
“We’ve always felt confident Michael would remain at the Club due to the positive discussions we had with him and his management, and I’m sure our members will be thrilled to see him ‘don the sash’ again in 2017.
“Michael feels confident in the direction of the Club, and is looking forward to resuming his career under John and working towards helping the Club achieve success.”
Senior Coach, John Worsfold, said Hurley’s return will help strengthen the team both on and off the field.
“We’ve got a really clear ambition for where we want to get to as a football Club, and I’m really pleased Michael wants to be a part of that shared vision,” Worsfold said.
“We all know the exceptional football talent Michael possesses. He’s a ruthless competitor, strong around the contest and will provide us with great versatility at both ends of the ground.
“Michael leads by example, shows genuine care for his teammates, and will play a pivotal role in upholding the elite standards that will help us achieve our goal of becoming a top side in the competition.”
List and Recruiting Manager, Adrian Dodoro, said Hurley is about to enter a peak period in his career.
“Michael is a terrific young man, he’s an extremely important part of our future, and the most pleasing aspect is his new deal will see him remain a Bomber for life,” Dodoro said.
“Michael is an All-Australian defender, finished runner-up in last year’s Crichton Medal, and his competitive nature and ability to transition from defence to attack makes him such a valuable player to our back six, and team in general.”
Michael Hurley joins Brent Stanton, Tom Bellchambers, Dyson Heppell, David Myers, Cale Hooker, Travis Colyer and Heath Hocking as the eighth Bomber to recommit to the Club.

Laverde would be a great pick up IMO. I wanted us to draft him the year we took Cellis so I've kept an eye on him since. Will become a very good player IMO. A good size kid (190 odd) that will end up a mid.

Lloyd - Cloke - Rioli
Steele - Martin - C Ellis

Tomlinson - Rance - Grimes
Fol: Hampson, Cotchin, Miles
Interchange: Lambert, Markov, Menadue, Grigg
Desperately need a better ruckman too, so could trade picks for one/draft one.
EDIT: Need a big midfielder too. Could send Conca to Fremantle for Barlow if he's fit to play another 2-3 years.

Contracted player and Collingwood always plays hardball. What do you think they will take?
Lennon has shown virtually nothing. It's a hopeful hypothetical for me and I'd actually be surprised if they let him go for that. They will want pick 6 guaranteed...

Yeah I definitely wouldn't include pick 6 in a trade for Cloke. His salary next year is reportedly $500,000 due to a front-loaded contract and Collingwood will likely pay some of that.
For example if we offered Cloke three years @ $500,000 and Collingwood paid half of the first year we'd be looking at $1,250,000 for three years which is realistically the kind of money Vickery has been making. Cloke would be a huge upgrade on him surely.
There's reports Collingwood will let him go cheaply but I don't believe that, they never let players go cheaply. If we could get him for a lower price than I suggested then it would be a big win for us IMO.

Geez H Geez brutha, that is wayyyyy overs. He's pushing 30 and been VFL standard for he past two years. He wants to go too, so Collingwood have nothing to gain by holding onto him. Even pick 19 alone would be overs.

Lennon has very little value to me.
Given we paid pick 30 odd for Hampson I don't think it's too bad. Just a hypothetical anyway which could net us talent and picks in exchange for a bunch of players who are likely to hold us back.

Why would a bloke who can't get a game with his own club become a better player at Richmond. This is why we always finished 9th.
What a joke.
Time to get Someone with a football brain at Richmond.

Gold Coast made an audacious play to lure Brownlow medallist Nat Fyfe to the Gold Coast.
The draft pick rich Suns have offered two first-round picks and potentially another player to Fremantle to get the deal done either in this year’s trade period or next year when Fyfe becomes a restricted free agent.
Gold Coast currently have two picks in the top 10 in this year’s draft, plus whatever they receive for out-of-contract midfielder Dion Prestia who wants out of the Suns and is believed to have nominated Richmond as his destination of choice.
They would be rolling in first round picks if Jaeger O’Meara also departed.

Sometimes we want high tackle numbers, sometimes we're prepared to sit off a bit and let them go certain ways," he said.

Yesterday on SEN prior to the match it was mentioned by their trade guru (insert HUN journo) that Brandon Ellis was not happy with some things that happened this season and was also interested in other options.
Given he is often maligned and perhaps rightly so perhaps it is half step and his bulls hit gamestyle which stuff our players

A win win for all concerned.

l know what the problem is. When chicken poo Bellis pulls out of a contest several times this season, His team mates let him know his got no gizzards in that gut of his. They don't wanna play along side him cause they continually have to go to his man. His jogging back to defence as he been chasing kicks. His a loser

Ellis is like the Richmond version of Hunt.
Who would be interested in that piece of poo, sniping dog

Are there any clubs as stupid as us, who would be willing to take another Hunt? Although we didn't trade for him
-
Would we/you be willing to give up our pick 6 for Tomlinson and Steele?
Two for one?

So being a walk up start for every match no matter how unaccountable he is or how badly he plays still not good enough for Brandon? Good luck finding happiness at your next club then, son....

If we could get a pick under 50 for him I'd take it. His type are the reason we all talk about this club having poo culture. Get rid of the cancer.

Lennon + pick 19 for Cloke???!!!! :lol
Is that you Francis?
Contracted player and Collingwood always plays hardball. What do you think they will take?
Lennon has shown virtually nothing. It's a hopeful hypothetical for me and I'd actually be surprised if they let him go for that. They will want pick 6 guaranteed...
Sit down champ if your going to post dribble like that
I'm not saying Cloke is the answer or that my suggestion is the BEST way to get him/move the club forward. Just proposing a plan on how to improve the list given the current stock/trade currency. I have no doubt in my mind that Cloke would be a better KPF for us than Vickery or Griffiths, and give us 2-3 years of time to develop other prospects like Chol or Moore. I would prefer to trade Deledio + change to GWS for Patton, Tomlinson and Steele, but I really can't see GWS letting Patton go after his first consistent year.
FACT
5 posts above it's got
"Out lids"
Then a back six named full of c graders (being kind) short, c moore, lambert and hibberd being discuss hbf too
:gotigers
Short, Vlastuin, Yarran, Rance, Grimes, Tomlinon was my suggestion.
Hardly a back six of C-graders, although I will admit it's not perfect. Can only expect so much change in one year though and as things stand our 2nd KPD is Astbury - FML. Tomlinson would be a big upgrade on him. Otherwise we have guys like Houli and Hunt, whereas I'm hoping guys like Short and Yarran will keep them out of the side.

Oh look no Shane won't be going anywhere, he's one of most important players, his best is elite and we expect him to be back to his best next year....
Yep - it just wouldn't be the same without opposition players running straight through Shank at centre half forward and rebounding out of our forward 50 at least half a dozen times a match.... :gotigers
But Dumma said we aren't a tackling team.....
Sometimes we want high tackle numbers, sometimes we're prepared to sit off a bit and let them go certain ways," he said.

I posted this in the Prestia thread, more on topic here though:-
If we could get GWS picks 14 and 15 for Lids and ontrade one of those for prestia i reckon it would be a good outcome. Gws will have a heap of picks but this year will pay overs for premium talent for a tilt at a premiership.
Praying for a early second round compensation for Vickery.
Early second round for ellis (i thought he was worth pick 30 but apparently others rate him higher) and same for edwards.
FO conca for a pick around 30. West Coast have pick 31 atm.
Ins would leave us something like
Pick 6, 14, Prestia, 20, 21,22,31 and 42.
Gets rid of lids (old and injury prone) edwards (hot and cold, and starting to get on) and squibs Ellis and Conca.
Into the starting 22 side comes Prestia, McIntosh, Menadue, C Ellis. Debut the picks when ready.
Still hoping for a bit more of a clean out but not sure we will go harder than retirements plus Batch.
Basically my best case scenario outcome id wake up with half a chub if it went down this way .
-
I think we should make a highlights reel for TV now that he is being traded, no point raggin on the man he did play for us. Just have the footage of him knocking out Cox on a loop should do it.
-
Not bad but do you really think Deledio would net us 15 and 16? Maybe if we went a year early or he didn't get injured again this year but now I think a lot of clubs will be wary...
That would be similar to the Treloar trade and I don't think you pay as much for Deledio as you do Treloar.

Geez dude Dans still on his L plates. It'll take him the 2 weeks to get the Prestia deal done.
-
Will we wait most of the trade period then poo our pants and do it last minute and have no time for anyone else? Geez that sounds familiar
-
Cant see the tigers shopping Lids of even thu we are not getting what we wont from him but then again there are about 10-12 of those players at our club right know. we need to deal smart with priesta and some how keep the first round pick. ty will give us a second rounder something we don't have and so should conca....
ellis is signed for another year not sure on the money he is on..
really we need to off load the likes of Morris, hunt, Elton, mcbean, grigg, maric, there is 6 chaplin gone there is 7 we could really off load 10 this draft
-
Would we/you be willing to give up our pick 6 for Tomlinson and Steele?
Two for one?
nope!
Prestia aside i reckon we should be hitting the Draft hard
we won't catch GWS by taking thier 2nd tier Players!

given Lids body is starting to let him down if we want to trade him for any value it has to be this year.

By giving gws one of RFC best 5 players ...
-
I don't think this is the draft to be taking heaps of players from.
It's very similar to the 2010 Gold Coast draft where there was a fairly even spread of players from 1-18 but was massively hit or miss beyond that.
My feeling this will be a pick by needs draft rather than on talent, there are 3-4?players who could easily go number 1 then a few more safe picks out to 12 or so but it's a massive lucky dip after that point.
If we're serious about re building I'd be trying to hang onto pick 6, trade a player or players fronprestia and trade for picks to stockpile for next years draft.

Craig Stewart's boy. He played for us after a long career at Collingwood. Showed plenty a season or two ago. Just can't get a game ahead of all those first rounders. Kicked a lazy 8 in the NEAFL on the weekend.

Oh good a key forward sounds good. I hope he likes playing in the backline cause that's where our young forwards play. Then they forget how to go back forward

Another Townsend. Can't get a game at senior level so they just track on over to Punt road. The club where list cloggers come for a quick buck :banghead

Collingwood could have taken him Father/Son but passed.
I watched him play a couple of times and he looks more than capable.

Caught the tail end of a discussion this morning on free agency. Talk was that a Freo player was going to Richmond and then they played the Tigers theme song. Didn't catch the players name but would be Mayne or Zac Clarke. Seems like another stopud move by the club as that will cancel out the pick we would have got for Vickery

Sorry, I didn't know that was the rule. Strange if true. The two things are independent I would have thought. If you kept a good player instead of losing him as a FA, that is a bonus. You can pick up a FA then with no punishment. Yet if you lose him, you are punished for picking up another FA. Very strange rule indeed.

No him & Hartley do..... but hey, if you think our "General Manager of Football" has little or no say in these decisons, well good luck to you then....

very little say. that is down to list manager and coach. they tell him what they want and he negotiates it.
Blair is the man worthy of all the list management decisions, along with coach. if you think otherwise, well........

It's a team effort if you want to argue semantics and score points but if you think the bloke who runs the entire football department simply just rubber stamps whatever his list manager & coach decide ...well ok then....

who is our list manager incidentally? Do we even have one that focuses exclusively on that?
-
Hartley.
-
Is he actually list manager or opposition player analyst or some BS title? As I understand it, we dont actually have a dedicated list manager in the pelchen mode - might be wrong though

His current official title is "General Manager of Player Personnel & List Management"
IIRC, when he started here his primary role was to identify talent from opposition clubs.

Harfwit has the most say on players IMO.

Chris Dawes' heart is set on playing on with Melbourne next season, but a few opposition clubs have signalled their interest in the uncontracted key forward in the event he departs the Demons.
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-08-24/clubs-keen-on-outofcontract-demon
Jack Trengove and Jack Grimes remain out of contract for next season after spending the bulk of the year in the VFL.
While the pair will meet with Goodwin early next week to discuss their futures, Trengove, 24, appears more likely to be retained for next season.
Grimes, 27, is expected to consider his options in October’s exchange period after only two senior games this year.

I think the Dees were keen to go ahead with the trade but we found out his foot is stuffed during his check up so we pulled out.

Richardson is not more more than an administrator. That is his background, he has no footballing background, yet you seem to think he is sort of Graeme richmond type powerbroker over the football dept, in which case he should also be carrying the can for the game plan.
Ultimately the coach would have the final say on who goes and stays, Hartley would have a big say, but not the final, as well as a big say on length of contracts.
There is no way in the world that Richardson is telling these two ( and any others paid specifically to work in this field) what will and wont happen.
Ultimately Hartley and Hardwick should be the target of the hissy fits over contracts

Ultimately the coach would have the final say on who goes and stays, Hartley would have a big say, but not the final, as well as a big say on length of contracts.
There is no way in the world that Richardson is telling these two ( and any others paid specifically to work in this field) what will and wont happen.
Ultimately Hartley and Hardwick should be the target of the hissy fits over contracts
Agree with this. Richardson works out the contracts. How to structure them and ultimately how they fit them into TPP. He does not pick the players. That is BH with input from DH.
-
Harfwit has the most say on players IMO.
The club is going down the 5hitta due to his stupidity and stubbornness.
The other 2 in charge are "yes"men just like the rest of Harwits coaching panel.
I'm afraid we will all have to go through a lot more hurt before anything is done about it.
If Richardson & Hartley are just "yes men" to Halfstep then neither of them are doing their job properly and are every bit as much to blame.

Isn't Richardson the boss?

Which includes the length of contracts.....you both seem to be forgetting one crucial thing - players themselves & their managers are also involved in these decisions and Richardson's the one that handles those negotiatons, he may have input from others but the final offers are ultimately up to him. (Though I'm sure the likes of Astbury, Grigg & Houli all know when they're on a good thing and didn't negotiate too hard.)
If you blokes seriously think that heads of football departments, don't, won't or can't override/veto list management decisions then you're kidding yourselves. The idea of the likes of Neil Balme just being rubber stamps....or that administrators are just there to follow the orders of their underlings, is laughable.
BTW Al...never blamed Richardson for everthing - said all along that him, Hartley, Halfstep & Hackson are all equally culpaple for the general state of the list.
Isn't Richardson the boss?
Yes he is - people seem to be struggling with the definition.

BH is the boss of who we get. That is his job. Why would DR override the "guru"?
I agree that the terms of the contracts are DR's job but the crucial calls of who we get from other clubs come from BH.
-
Yes Hartley is the bloke who targets opposition players - was his primary role when he first arrived - but Richardson would still ultimately decide what we offer them.
-
Still laughing at the thought of Neil Balme being our Footy Manager and Hartley & Halfstep telling him to extend Houli's contract, give Hamspud & Astbury two & three years respectively and Balmy just saying "yep ok, whatever you say, will do..."

i find it bewildering that a anyone would think that a bloke whos back ground was a playuer manager would be installed into a position that he can override decisions made by those specificity paid to make those decisions.
following the line of thought that the general manager of football ultimately has the final say on all matters football, that would mean when he was a player manager, he made the decisions on how the players played or overode their wishes on contracts.
I dont think the players themselves have too much input into these things either, besides their putting forward their wish lists, which would normally be done through their managers BTW, otherwise barely any player would be delisted and everyone would be on long term high paying contracts.
A large part of Dans role is doing exactly what he did as a player manager, just he's changed sides.
Even if it was balme in the position, he wouldnt be able to overide the coach and list manager, otherwise why even bother with a list manager? and how laughable would it be for a coach to be told he must keep players he may not want and loose players he does want?

“Personally, I think I have a couple of years of footy left in me and I look forward to developing off-field too. Helping young players get the best out of themselves is a passion of mine and I’m keen to pursue a career in coaching once my playing days are over," Schulz said.

Richmond are also looking at some of Essendon’s top up players, according to the source.
“We liked what we saw from Matty Stokes this year, even at 31 he showed a lot more skill and pace than anything Steve Morris could muster up.”

Agree with all of that.
I mentioned this a couple of months ago but I know for a fact that BH didnt want to give a player a contract extension but it happened anyway. Halfwit has more say in who stays and who goes than anyone else at the club... And probably rightly so IMO as senior coach. But as an organisation you would want to think the coach knows what he is doing.
I also know a few, apparently in charge, wanted to keep Matty Dea last year but Halfwit didn't and guess what!

He has a completely different job - at ESP he was in a client service role, at Richmond he's the General Manager of Football. He's the boss so while I'd agree he isn't the List Manager as the stuffing GM of Football operations he'd have every right to ask why the stuffing hell we are giving Astbury 3 years. It would be like Dimma not being able to tell Jack what to do because he's never played forward.

exactly, or not telling jack what to do when he has the ball because jack has so much more talent and will make the right decision 95% of the time, rather than pass it off when he should be shooting for goal because some hack footballer has messed with his head about being more team oriented.
we have all seen the result of Dimma telling Jack what to do, and you want a bloke who'e history has been in client services role being able to dictate to someone who specialises in list management what to do?
( forget the who here, just focus on the role)
I'm not convinced that Boss is the correct term either, in whatever context you want to use it.
and further are you saying that when Dan was a players manager ( or players Boss, as you say) he didnt negotiate contracts, or that he doesnt do it now when you say the roles are different?

According to Fox Sports' Tania Armstrong, both Geelong and Essendon have shown interest in Fremantle forward Hayden Ballantyne.
David Swallow is reportedly open to a move to North Melbourne despite giving reassurances to Gold Coast previously, that he would see out his contract.
"We would love to have O'Meara at Essendon, absolutely." - John Worsfold on Channel Nine yesterday morning.
According to Tim Watson on SEN 1116, Chris Mayne to North Melbourne is a done deal.
Geelong would be willing to trade Steven Motlop if a suitable offer came up, according to SEN 1116's Brett Anderson.
According to SEN 1116's Brett Anderson there's a "good chance" GWS youngster Jack Steele will be in St Kilda colours next year.

If Steele ends up at St Kilda it is because he decided the future is brighter over there. We have been all over him since he was drafted but its not over just yet :shh Barrett is another player we have been watching. Can play and is wanting opportunity.
-
What do people think Steele is worth? Is he worth our pick 6?

correct the tigers were into steele early this year and a lot of reports were around that we were keen to take him... if yah can get him in as well dion the centre looks good.

Hutchy and Barrett saying four clubs in the running for O'Meara (not us) - Collingwood, in front of Carlton, Essendon and St Kilda. Hawthorn would join in the race if they miss out on Tom Mitchell.

He comes to a club with nfi and no direction to play for a coach who shouldn't see out half the year

Unless the AFL change the rules (which is likely given RFC have 2 F/Ss next year), we just trade fir a bunch of 3rd round picks like the interstate clubs did for their academy players last year.

Unless the AFL change the rules (which is likely given RFC have 2 F/Ss next year), we just trade fir a bunch of 3rd round picks like the interstate clubs did for their academy players last year.
The AFL has already changed the rules. A club can only have available live picks for every open spot they have on the list. So no more stock piling picks are allowed.

Been hearing whispers about us being into Stringer.....not at all happy at The Kennell.... :shh
Also Trengove from Port ....(well we're bound to get somebody from Port while Moneyblair's still here, my money's on Butcher).....looked better than Hamspud when they chucked him the ruck....
If we get Stringer all will be forgotten for the 2016 year.
I wanted him big time in his draft year.
When he is on, he is an out and out star.
Match winner!... Yes please.... Pick 6 would get it done.
-
Mate at work reckons Hartlett might be on the move and when he gets news its usually pretty good.
Surely if there's any truth to it we would have talked to Port already.
Harlett signed a new 4 or 5 year deal last year at Port mate so im thinking ur mates mail isn't that good
Wake up,players get traded all the time when in contract.

That's silly it gave clubs the ability to trade up. Now there is less room to maneuver.

Massive no from me......Hampson is better and that is saying something. Has done nothing his whole career with young Soldo showing him up in a game early this year. Longer is just a VFL standard player at best.

Went looking for the details about the Soldo/Longer matchup and found this from early July
For me his lack of of awareness just kills him too often.Also the dumb idiotic free kicks keep on happening.
This guy is never going to be anything more than a b/c grader.He aint as bad as a lot make him out to be but he is nothing special either.
He is one i would clearly look to be trading out of the club. You never know another club may still see a bit of upside and get us back into the second round.
100% agree. Hes not as bad as some make out, but he'll also never be anything more than an average run of the mill mid you can find later in the draft. If the rumour is true about conca for longer - I'd do it without hesitating pending a successful medical on Longers head
What Longer rumour?.
According to Sporting Pulse, the Saints have asked for a direct swap - Longer for Conca.
Not sure how accurate it is though.
-
forget it, its done longer re-signed with the saints as WP mentioned
-
forget it, its done longer re-signed with the saints as WP mentioned
The thing is though if they didn't resign him, come trade time he wouldn't be contracted and he could go anywhere and the Saints get nothing. Signed though and they can trade him and get something in return.
Pretty stupid to not sign him even if they didn't want to keep him.
He will almost definitely leave IMO.
As I said in another thread at the time of his resigning, he was stupid to stay at the Saints if he wanted to be the number 1 ruckman of a club.
I'd love to have him as I've seen him play some pretty good footy. And he is aggressive, which I like.

Not sure about that - clubs usually have contracts running out after trade week, yes he could walk to the PSD for nada but it rarely happens these days, players usually get to where they want to go.
You rarely if ever see a player sign and in that same year get traded these days. If he signed he's staying for at least a year im of course.
Also, I may be wrong on this, but I think the afl have rules in place to stop the trading of players just signed that season.
-
forget it, its done longer re-signed with the saints as WP mentioned
he signed a 2 year contartct a couple of months ago & today their american ruckman signed a 1 year deal

Correct but word is that depsite him being re-sigend Saints are still likely to have on the trade table
-
Well he must've agreed to be put up for trade then because I'm pretty sure clubs aren't allowed to trade players in the first year of a new contract otherwise...

BJ Flair has some strict guidelines he employs when selecting players for a possible trade to Richmond.
1. Has the player struggled to produce consitant performances?
2. Has the player had atleast one good game against us?
3. Has the player had some off field issues of any sorts?
Bonus points if the player has has any previous connection with Port or Carlscum.
If the answer is yes to these three questions he's pretty keen to unload any pick under 30 to get it done. :clapping
-
Don't want Motlop
Don't want Blicavs
Would take a couple of picks though.
-
Blicavs would fill a few needs - quick, (very)tall, athletic, big bodied mid who can also ruck, take marks and has averaged around 6 tackles a game for the last two years.... only real knock is he doesn't really kick goals...apart from that though, he's the player Vickery should've been IMO (a second ruck who was effectively an unsually tall but agile mid) but better in the ruck....I'd also prefer a couple of picks but unfortunately Geelong don't have first rounder this year and they can't give us next year's either because you can't trade future first round picks two years running....

all of Geelongs "stars" are aged in Footy terms, i'd want a 1st rounder or no deal, they don't have one so will have to get creative, we can then ontrade that for Prestia... even in a 3 way trade that sends Motlop to GC
-
Motlop for deledio would be dreadful result
I expect it will happen :gotigers
-
Motlop would be a liability in our team.
Reckon they would consider Lids for Motlop
Imagine Motlop, Yarran, Houli, Ellis and Co in the same team. All downhill skiers

Yarran needs a mate when he travels home

Blicavs won their B&F last year. Can play at a consistent high level.

Like Blicavs a lot but he's half the player of Lids when in full flight

3 years of Lids
8 years of Blicavs
I know my preference

Hm get a first round pick please Cats. Keep your fringe players.
1st round pick for Lids. Send Motlop to North they love give up first rounders. On trade that for Lids.
Ellis and Edwards for Prestia.
Vickery for 2nd round compo
Out: Lids, Vickery, Ellis and Edwards
In: Prestia, 1st and 2nd round picks
Add our pick 6 into the list next year that is 3 very talented players in exchange for 3 over rated players with countless chances and an injury prone elite player with 3 years left.
Win.

Still Conca and Lennon to cash in currency. Awful and idiotic by us to make it public that Conca isn't required. We hold no cards now and wouldn't get a high 3rd rounder if we tried unless we get lucky.
Lennon has currency. Think we should be able to command a high draft pick. GC have a heap and want players. Imagine Edwards, Ellis and Lennon off to GC for Prestia and a top 20 pick.
I'd also look at trading Grimes / Astbury to see what type of deals would be interesting. Same as Griffiths. Must be active.
Houli and Grigg shopped to a top 4 club could generate a decent 2nd round pick.

Package Lennon and the Deledio 1st rounder, send to Carlton for pick 4.

Four blokes with currency. The rest are chicken poo hence not resigned.
What rule is there that restricts you trading someone that you have contracted?
If you agree to trade with a club and the player is happy to be traded. Travis Cloke is contracted.
-
I'd don't know the exact rules but I'm pretty sure you can't trade players in the first year of a contract...
....apart from that why would we extend Houli's contract by two years, give Astbury three years and Griffiths two years then trade them?
...we'd probably also have to pay part of their salaries at their new clubs for a start....like Collingwood will likely have to do with Cloke...

I so excited.
Let's get as many high draft picks this year as we can and let's bet how many become superstars of the game. :rollin

i understand it to be within the 1st 12 mths of the contract being signed.
with the guys we signed on i reckon it's the hope that they are pushed out of the 22 & are "depth only" in the last yr of thier contract

the worst thing is we still have morris hunt Elton on 1 year deals.
must off load moore and townsend they didn't step up and not worth holding onto the list
conca, lennon, ty hoping for draft picks
dids if geelong want him wouldn't touch him for motlop specially when we were into him last year and he signed on at geelong for decent coin so that wont happen

Carlton defender Zach Tuohy is the latest player to gain interest from North Melbourne, according to Fox Footy.
Jayden Laverde wants to stay at Essendon but Saints offering much more money.
St Kilda have gone cold on Jaeger O'Meara after "inconclusive" medical. More definitive at North: "his body's just not up to it". Mark Stevens on Ch 7 said that Carlton have ruled out O'Meara too, though my source is playing coy. Essendon bound?

Is there anyone St.Kilda hasn't been linked to yet?

Marchbank talking to 4 Melbourne clubs...we're not one of them... club obviously thinks our KPD stocks are right with just Rance backed up by two injury-prone players, a couple of raw kids from the rookie list and Todd Elton.... :gotigers

Hartung & Honeychurch latest names thrown up in the internet rumour mill re:Richmond
Not sure what pressing needs either would fill bar our apparently insatiable appetite for lightly framed sub-six footers....
-
Hartung is quick, big tank and generally a good user. Looks handy at the Hawks because they can get the footy in his hands. Probably the ideal outside player but not sure he's the kind you'd waste anything in trading for, more the kind you draft yourself to have an impact straight away.
-
If the Hawks bring in Vickery and Mitchell or Omeara then they will need to let go players to fit them in. Straight swap for Hartung. Get Maybe as a FA. Add Prestia and trade conca, Lennon and Edwards for draft picks. Done.
-
Tell you what, if those midgets can chase, tackle & harass like Footscray's did tonight, I'd be more than happy to pick them up...

Chris Mayne is set to walk out on Fremantle, and is set to meet with North Melbourne, Collingwood and Richmond next week.

Latest second hand scuttlebutt from the ever reliable Big Footy....
Heard a rumor that if essendon are the only club going for O'Meara we might try and pinch him and Prestia for 6 and a player. Instead of him walking to Essendrugs

Players like Ellis/Edwards should be very tradeable, somewhere where they can get back to form.
Ellis as part of the prestia trade maybe.

Given that for some inexpliocable reason Lid's trade value is so low, I've changed my mind and say keep. Plonk him at FF as a full time mid size fwd and Im sure he can play another 5-6 years.
The fact Griffiths as a 29 y/o was traded for a lot more than what industry expects us to get for Lids is rubbish. Only way Id consider it was if it was for a big young talent oir a couple of late first rounder/early second rounders.

Watch some of those player reviews on the website if you're bored. Most of them (Vlas, Rioli, Rance) seem pretty chuffed when talking and Menadue looks bitterly unimpressed talking about this year and next. Maybe he doesn't like cameras or something but he didn't seem excited in the slightest

Both as equally as finished I think.

At least Cloke can run still, although he can't kick for goal. Maric can't run and can't jump.

Doesn't really matter who we get, even if we finally get our act together, nobody's coming near GWS for the next 5 years at least....the kids we draft now will probably be veterans and free agents themselves by the time we get another sniff...

...having said that...two quality mids, a good kpd and a good experienced player like Barlow and a half-decent kpf....a good cheap ruckman and bring in at least three quality kids.

North probably have the space to lock him in but the question should be asked

Collingwood has offered Chris Mayne a 4-year deal to join them as a free agent.
The Pies are also willing to offer Daniel Wells a 2-year deal to leave North (the Roos are only offering him one-year).

being we were playing kids at yrs end yet he was still in the VFL maybe he got a harsh review & didn't like being told as such.

AFL Trade Whisperer @AFLTradeWhisper Sep 8
"Am told Richmond have made contact with Billy Hartung's management regarding a long term deal. Contracted at Hawks."
"Hartung could fetch up to $450k per season on a 4 year deal at Tigerland."
"Tigers have also contacted Mitch Honeychurch."
-------------------------
RIC
+ Prestia (from GC), Hartung (from Haw)
- S. Edwards (to GC), Vickery (to Haw)
Also has Lennon linked to Carlton and Port.
-------------------------
"So which prominent player agent was seen touring the site of a major redevelopment at Moorabbin? Ralph Carr. His client? Dustin Martin."

Yes, it's that of the time of the year :stupid.

Not saying there's any substance to that but just for shytes & giggles let's play 2 + 2 = 5
Martin was St.Kilda supporter.
Martin loved Choco.
Choco has left.
Becomes a restricted free agent at the end of next year.
Richmond possibly not all that confident of retaining him, particularly if we have another poor year, which is looking likely at this stage (Martin also loves Halfstep who might be sacked) don't want the distraction with speculation over his contract all year and will have more leverage if they get in first and trade him now....
:shh :whistle

It's simple, if we want to retain him next year we just have to match any offer from another club.
As a restricted he can't just walk, if we have our heads screwed on properly we'll be able to dip into the war chest to match a thing thrown his way.
Losing Dusty would be the least of our worries IMO

Meanwhile, contracted Collingwood forward Travis Cloke is now highly unlikely to head to Richmond following the appointment of Neil Balme as the Tigers’ new football boss.
Cloke had keen interest from the Tigers and the Western Bulldogs, where he may now be headed after requesting a trade.
Sydney midfielder Tom Mitchell could soon join out-of-contract Gold Coast midfielder Jaeger O’Meara in requesting a trade to Hawthorn.
O’Meara knocked back a two-year offer from Gold Coast worth up to $1.4 million. Mitchell is also coming out of contract and it is believed his required pay has priced him out of the Swans, who would not be able to fit him in under their salary cap.
However, The Australian believes the Hawks could fit in both players, and possibly Richmond free agent Ty Vickery, on back-ended contracts with some list changes and other tinkering.

We should match the Vickery offer and force a trade for Hartung

Agree!
-
We should match the Vickery offer and force a trade for Hartung
What's the difference the hawks will accept the compo pick we get for Vickery anyway. We have a chance to work with the hawks here as it will be a win for them if we don't match the offer
-
1.Why do we want Hartung?
and
2. Why would the hawks want to get rid of hartung? Hawks arent blessed with outside run and this will be compounded with Hill leaving, so as a list management decision, no way they want to lose him unless they realise he is complete poo (see point 1.)

Lmfao we need that second pick
For what exactly??

Lmfao we need that second pick

Gee I don't know
Maybe because we dont currently have one
Or heaven forbid we actually use it in a package to get Prestia rather than giving up pick 6
So really there is no reason at all ::)
-
Whatever they do on draft day chances are they will stuff it up.
We have seen what they do with pick 6 so a safe bet is Prestia. Anything else for Hackson and co is fools gold
-
I'm hoping B Ellis to Hawks (to replace Hill's outside run) in exchange for Hartung and a sweetener.
-
Scuttlebutt is that a rebuild is going to be initiated and hearts will be broken. Rance is the only untouchable. It's about bloody time!

Wasn't he originally rated a first round pick (or early 2nd) only to go to the the rookie draft? Had a good first year too IIRC.

We should match the Vickery offer and force a trade for Hartung
We match the Vickery offer and he stays
Hawks will walk away
Part of me wants that to happen just for the melts ;D
:lol
We wont match we need that 2nd pick
He's worth more to us goneskis, compo is far more important

Collingwood's Travis Cloke has come to a two-year agreement with the Western Bulldogs, according to Fox Footy's Jake Niall. Cloke will have to wait until the opening of the trade period to complete his move to the Bulldogs.
Scoop McClure: "My understanding is that Daniel Wells has all but decided to leave North Melbourne. Set to choose between Collingwood and Geelong"
We believe Adelaide's Ricky Henderson has had a medical at North Melbourne.
We understand West Coast are interested in acquiring Western Bulldogs player Tom Campbell.
We believe North Melbourne are expressing significant interest in Adelaide's Jarryd Lyons.
West Coast and Fremantle both heavily linked to GWS's Rory Lobb.
The Dees have expressed interest in Geelong's Nathan Vardy. Still a chance Vardy could be delisted though.
Gold Coast are expressing interest in Port Adelaide's Matthew Broadbent.

And we want are believed to be matching the Hawks offer for Sideshow. :rollin

Campbell's worth a look.....held his own v Gawn earlier in the year IIRC.....upgrade on Hamspud...but then so is every ruckman in the AFL except Clarke who of course is the one we will likely get.... :gotigers

If he can average over four possessions a game and knows which way we are going he has my endorsement

We will match hawks offer of something like 600pa for 3 years, then vickery will stay with richmond when the hawks go cold on him, wait and see
And the hawks will run off giggling hysterically

Just re-signed with Footscray so there goes that idea....

Marchbank just nominated Carlton....so Rance can probably look forward to yet another year of carrying the backline by himself.... :gotigers

If Dawes ends up at Tigerland l will go into Meltdown :banghead

So, what I know on Tom Rockliff. Wants to stay. But, he wants more $. Asked MGMT to test waters on what other clubs might offer. Hence trade #whispers. Word filtered to players + club he tested waters, now some feel his position as captain is untenable
North deny #whispers of a potential Todd Goldstein trade. What's he worth?

Jarryd Lyons could be squeezed out of Adelaide - with North Melbourne the front runner for his signature. Melbourne and St Kilda are also believed to be interested.
Jayden Laverde is set to sign a two year deal with Essendon, according to the AFL website's Callum Twomey.
https://www.facebook.com/AFLTRDON/
Mark Stevens on Ch 7 news tonight said Collingwood has the highest and longest offer for Daniel Wells. Losing Cloke also frees up salary cap space to have them leading the race for Freo's Chris Mayne
-
If Rockliff is only being offered $600k/year as reported to stay at Brisbane I would happily offer him $700-750,000/year for 4-5 years to come to RFC. Cops a lot of crap but is clearly a tough and very good player to me.
Especially if we're reportedly offering Prestia $700k for five then Rockliff is definitely worth just as much or more I think.
Goldstein only worth a shot if we can pick up enough talent quickly but we all know it won't turn around fast enough to make him a good option.
Don't know anything about Lyons. Glad we're not after Mayne (overrated!!!) or Wells (old/injury-prone).

Either that or just an aggressive list management team who is prepared to use our alleged war chest!
Look at Geelong - Dangerfield, Selwood, Henderson and Smith all in one year. It has transformed their list!

Pass on Hartung. His type (small so-so footballer) is what we already have and why we are now back to being a bottom 6 side.

Matthew Richardson states Luke Breust was told by Hawthorn this week that he may be traded.
Wayne Carey also stated that Fremantle have previously offered Hayden Ballantyne to GWS for Cam McCarthy.
Jay Clark reporting the Eagles have intensified their quest to sign Jesse Hogan, speculating JH could demand as much as 1.5 million per year.
Fremantle's Alex Silvagni is rumoured to be linked with Brisbane.
Mick Warner reporting that Carlton and Collingwood are attempting to lure GWS FWD James Stewart. Our Blues source says Carlton will try lure GWS players James Stewart & Aidan Corr to the club in a trade involving Caleb Marchbank.
Collingwood's Jarrod Witts is in talks with the Gold Coast Suns over a potential move. Collingwood have offered him a contract extension.
Bulldogs Hrovat AND Honeychurch. We believe Dons are interested in both.

Four contextual subtle differences with what the fans can take:-
1) They win 6 games but did so off the back of an era of finals more successful than ours and generally sound list building, including one win against us when they were on the slide and we were at our peak.
2) They've won 4 flags since our last one.
3) Highly confusing and dishonest mixed messages from Richmond getting the fans offside, including over promising and under delivering. 6 months we had 'the cream' on top. The remainder of the year we are still fighting for finals, need to rebuild, don't need to rebuild, need to trade our stars, need to keep our top 6 etc etc etc. Not to say Carlton didn't have the odd contradictory message incl fromMalthouse but they have played a far more honest and straight bat with the media and fans.
4) Carlton fans are morons.

That's this year without those three blokes, none of which they actually have or even may get, but the intent is at least there and the point is they're three good young players who would fill desperate needs for us regardless of what Carlton or any other club are doing...

I wouldn't do that.

Batch for Williams swap?

Also, just realised GC have Melbournes first pick which is 8. Maybe 6 for 8 plus Lennon for Prestia. That's a yes.

A guy just called into SEN and was adamant that we would be trading out 5 of our current players who were taken as 1st round selections including delidieo. Also said if Vickery wasn't leaving we would've traded out Jack for 2 first rounders.
Have to say whilst there may be no credibility to his claim it's not disimiliar to what we've been talking about here.
out: Lids, Vickery, Conca, Lennon, Ellis
-
Would be good if we swap Pick 6 and Lennon/B.Ellis for Gold Coast's Pick 8 and Presita 👍
-
A mate just passed on a rumor that Jack wants out and we have agreed on a deal with Hawthorn for their first rounder. Only think getting in the way is that Jack wants $750k and Hawks won't pay it.

Would be amazing at the hawks

Not that I disagree with that move, but how stuffing frustrating is it that we have to give up those players who have succumbed to tigeritis. It's just so dissapointing.
Especially Ellis, I believe a lot of his issues couldn't been ironed out from the start if he had better player development.
Lennon, well what I can I say :whistle caught tigeritis in the wind

There's been denials but believe Breust very gettable for Suns in O'Meara deal (if they want him) .. Midfielders priority
The Suns one of 3-4 clubs interested in Jarrod Witts .. GC likely ...
Bulldog Koby Stevens continues to attract interest. Ess and Suns possibilities, the Bombers more likely. Looks out of kennel

It's unconfirmed but we suspect Hanley for the Suns' first round pick.
Carlton have offered Zach Tuohy a 3-year deal. The Irish defender is set to remain at the Blues, eliminating rumours of a possible move.
Scott Thompson is set to knock back a reported offer from Melbourne and sign on with Adelaide.

Coming out of contract, unrestricted free agent Mitch Brown could be on his way out of the Eagles. St Kilda were one club to show interest last time he was out of contract, but having received little game time in 2016 - Mitch Brown could find himself outside of WA. His wife, Shae Brown has signed for Collingwood in the revamped Australian Netball competition meaning that he too could be bound for a Victorian club.

I was a fan before this year too, but I don't think he's come on as expected.
He was very unreliable in front of goals his year. Blatantly squibbed it going back with the flight in the elimination final too.

North Melbourne's Aaron Black is now expected to leave the Roos, saying he's “happy to go anywhere to play footy”.
Brisbane, who are in the hunt for a defender, are expected to meet with Melbourne defender Lynden Dunn, as well as Collingwood's Jack Frost.
Blues source has told us Carlton do not want to lose Zach Tuohy, very hopeful he'll sign on. No offer has been made by Sydney. However, North Melbourne have made an offer for the defender which appears to be greater than the contract Carlton have offered him.
Jayden Laverde has ended speculation that he will leave Essendon by signing a contract extension.

The Tigers are listening to all offers, including the Crows’ tilt at Dustin Martin, with a view to creating a finals challenging side from next year and Mitchell is very much in their sights.
Expect Richmond’s 2017 first round pick to be on offer, and expect the Swans to be interested.
Very interested.

AFL trade talk: Who is your club chasing?
Staff writers
Herald Sun
September 22, 2016 6:38pm
RICHMOND
The Tigers are set to be one of the most active players in trade talks, with several players potentially on the move.
Free agent Ty Vickery has been strongly linked to Hawthorn for weeks with a reported salary of about $400,000 a season that would give the Tigers a second-round compensation pick.
The Tigers are open to trades for first-round draft picks Reece Conca and Ben Lennon but there hasn’t been a lot of talk about possible suitors, although WA clubs were interested in Conca before he signed his current contract.
Brett Deledio’s name keeps bobbing up but he is contracted for another year and says although his manager has fielded calls from rival clubs, all the trade speculation is just “noise”.
The Tigers will get at least one player in the door after Gold Coast midfielder Dion Prestia requested a trade to Punt Rd, but they might have to get creative to come up with a deal that satisfies Gold Coast without coughing up pick six on draft night.
Ben Griffiths, Shaun Grigg and Shaun Hampson all re-signed late in the season but Jake Batchelor, Andrew Moore and Kane Lambert don’t have new deals.
Ivan Maric has been offered a contract to stay as an on-field coach but is weighing up interest from Collingwood.
And as if Richmond didn’t have enough list management headaches, a new deal to lock away Dustin Martin — who will be a free agent at the end of next season — is high on the priorities list.

He is the sort of player we should get. Hardworking and uncompromising. Two things most of our side lack.
Start with competative beasts.

Would be a great pick up
Which is precisely why I doubt it will happen
-
Gimme gimme gimme!
-
Lol Motlop please no
-
So pick 6 for Mitchell then? Does that do the deal?
-
Motlop is a dud, mitchell and prestia to RFC FOR pick 6 and griffiths, let them work it out, they can have Astbury as well if they throw in someone with some genitalia in them
-
Is Mitchell this year's version of Treloar/Taylor Adams/whoever else we were apparently getting?
-
Prestia and Mitchell? No stuffing chance
-
Did anyone hear the Jack Darking may be in the move?
I'd give up our pick 6 for him if that was the case.

:chuck
He didn't sign an extension though he is contracted for next year
-
I've heard Prestia will pretty much be it and all other trades will be for draft picks in the top 30 - 40....ideally want two in the top 10 then another two before pick 30 and another one before pick 40...targets are 3 mids (at least two inside)& 2 kpps...

It's a start but if that is indeed true, I'm guessing we're happy with Hampson, Soldo, Griff and maybe Maric as our ruck stocks :lol
-
Well we likely won't be trading for a ruck but I think the club's banking on Clarke being delisted and getting him for free, which frankly is worse than getting no rucks...
-
Can't be worse than megan
-
So pick 6 for Mitchell then? Does that do the deal?
Chance
He's a GUN

6 an Ellis for Mitchell and 15-18

15-18 for Prestia

AFL Insider: Martin the core of a super deal
While plenty of folk are denying it’s going to happen, Adelaide’s offer of a $6 million, five-year deal to Dustin Martin has some legs and could see one of the all-time great super trades.
It seems the Tigers can ill afford to lose Martin, but Punt Road powerbrokers are considering all options in their desire to get back in finals contention as soon as possible, and Dusty may be of more value on the trade table than plying his trade in their midfield.
Here are the basics of a four-club deal currently being considered: Martin to Adelaide for Tom Lynch and pick 13; pick 13 to Port Adelaide for Hamish Hartlett; Hartlett to Gold Coast; Dion Prestia to Richmond.
The Crows get the midfielder they see themselves needing to round out a flag assault while keeping a powerful forward line of Tex, JJ and Eddie Betts.
The wash-up of all that would be that Richmond get a top-line key forward to support Jack Riewoldt, plus Prestia and keep their first draft pick at number six.
Gold Coast get an experienced, quality midfielder and Port get salary cap space and an extra first rounder.
That’s as close to a win-win-win-win deal as you will find.

Would you do Lynch and prestia for martin?
-
Best thing about that is keeping pick 6 but Dusty is a match winner and IMO 1x Dusty > pick 6 + Prestia. If we were obliged to trade him I'd rather see how we could use him in some sort of combination to get Prestia, Mitchell and keep pick 6.

No for mine. Dusty is worth 2 Prestias. We get one and a Vickery type in return with this deal.

Yep pretty much how i feel - wouldnt do it
Lynch does ok at the crows bc hes the 4th or 5th option up fwd behind Tex, JJ, mcGovern(when hes there) and the dwarf. All of a sudden with us he gets the number 1 or 2 defender - very different proposition.
-
It depends, if we're getting the impression that Dusty is going to shop himself around at the end of next year, then maybe we need to do something while he's contracted.
-
For me another top 20 pick or Mitchell would have to be coming back out way for that to happen. Even if we had to give up pick 6 or one of the players like Lennon, Bellis, Conca or whoever else we have been talking about but had another first rounder back. Otherwise I'd just keep him and take the first round compo next year.
-
It depends, if we're getting the impression that Dusty is going to shop himself around at the end of next year, then maybe we need to do something while he's contracted.
We'd almost certainly get a first round pick as compo - after our own pick. If we finished bottom 4 next year (where I see us finishing) then we'd get pick 5 as compo.
Would you take pick 5 or Prestia and Lynch for Dusty?

Hmmm, yeah fair point.
Not sure. Probably Prestia and Lynch TBH. They are established good players who will contribute for a while. Pick 5 might get you a Bont, but it also might get you a Conca.

these articles have the whiff of that "afltradewhisper" Twitter account that started the Dusty rumours in the 1st place. a few in the media have enquired about this to the relevant Clubs & all have reported it's a dud rumour.
just on that page, they reckon Cats wants lids, don't have a pick till 35 & Kersten could be the sweetener......

Would you do Lynch and prestia for martin?
these articles have the whiff of that "afltradewhisper" Twitter account that started the Dusty rumours in the 1st place. a few in the media have enquired about this to the relevant Clubs & all have reported it's a dud rumour.
just on that page, they reckon Cats wants lids, don't have a pick till 35 & Kersten could be the sweetener......
a commenter reckons motlop & vardy for lids & our Vickery compo pick (2nd round)
i had to stop reading any further or i'd be sick
:lol fair call

Brett Anderson and Nick Creely on twitter:
NC. Hey Brett any word on Nick Suban and his whereabouts next season? You rate him?
BA: Tigers very interested. Not sure he is what they need, but they feel their list is better than what most others think.
NC: Wouldn't cost a lot to bring in. Any other clubs involved?
BA: Not sure. Just heard Tigs.
BA: Motlop and Hartlett also players of interest for Tigers, FWIW.

Are we looking at more-or-less a repeat of last years trade period?
We're after everyone, but only end up with the one player - never to play a game for the club?

we threw cash at harlett last year yet he went back and signed on with Port so how do we chase him all this trade talk is just crazy and goes nowhere until the footy is over then we should start to look into it more but for know its all just crap....
-
Can't be worse than megan
It's a toss up....either way, the result would be us having both the worst and the second worst ruckman in the AFL on our list.... :gotigers

No for mine. Dusty is worth 2 Prestias. We get one and a Vickery type in return with this deal.
Correct me if I'm wrong Doufey but are you honestly trying to say (between this comment and your comments on the other thread) that you rate Vickery highly?

Hmm.
I'm quite clearly saying Tom Lynch is a Vickery type.
So we Trade out Dusty. Get a player half as good in return plus a Vickery Type. Hence the "No for mine".
-
:lol at Vickery type. Lynch has a very good tank, covers a lot of ground, is willing to hit packs, gets a fair bit of ball and kicks more goals. Only thing is he doesn't take as many contested marks and doesn't ruck.

Tom Lynch Stats Vickery
83 games for 125 goals 119 Games for 158 Goals.
Stats suggest I'm about on the mark.

No they don't, you are looking at one stat in isolation, can you take out Vickery's goals out the back where he has been a lazy prick

[wishful thinking] Yes please, Mitchell to Tigerland. [/wishful thinking]
[reality] He won't choose to come to us, no matter how much we are keen on getting him and even beg publicly. It'll be a similar scenario to Treloar if we try to chase Mitchell. [/reality]

If the club decided on that attitude we would never get anyone :)
Stevo hinted he may be linked to Tigers after tonights game.
motlop as well, I don't mind Motlop but in reality we don't need another player who goes missing.

Damian Barrett has suggested that Daniel Wells has received a number of contract offers - with the most substantial coming from Collingwood. It is believed that it is worth $600,000 a year for three years.
Carlton are interested in bringing Rhys Palmer to the club. SOS is said to "rate his leadership".
Freo have "asked the question" re; Jack Darling. JD said to be shaken up post-final but has said privately he wants to stay.
Told interest has intensified around Swan Sam Reid. Hawthorn are in hot pursuit, having made contact with his MGMT.
Reports suggest GWS's Jarrod Pickett toured Ikon Park (Carlton's training facilities) this morning.

Reid would be a good addition

After watching last nights game, especially the first half, I'd throw the kitchen sink at Mitchell.
He should be our number 1 target.
He is twice the player Prestia is IMO

Wouldnt surprise if theyve done it in answer to the rumours of us matching the vickery offer to force them to trade - ie "stuff you richmond, we'll just go for someone else"
-

100%. Anyone is understands the game would agree with this.
He is a Sam Mitchell No 2. So incredibly gifted with his hands and unlike edwards isn't afraid get in the packs and get his hands dirty.

Prestia is still a great get though, lets not overlook this (so long as we get the deal done).
Pick 6 for Tom Mitchell feels like a decent trade, just have to get Balmy to convince the young fella to put on the yellow and black next year.
Give him a 5 year contract with the promise Dimma won't be there for 4 of them.

No mention of us in the Herald-Sun article about Tom Mitchell.
For Hawthorn, that hard ball ability is perfect. And West Coast and Gold Coast have also emerged over the weekend as keen suitors for the West Australian’s cleanness and hardness in a stoppage.

I think you don't watch him enough. Lazy downhill skier who barely kicks a goal a game.
No different to Edwards so unless this is a direct swap we would lose yet again
stuffin Hartley

If it means lids goes well it's a big no from me. Actually i don't want to see Motlop in a tiger jumper full stop!

I watch him plenty.
IMO he provides something our side doesn't have.
Run and carry.
Titch had 3 bounces TOTAL in 2016.
Motlop 51.
Not to mention he hits the scoreboard.
38 goals is a good return.
Is he a superstar, no.
Do I think he's better than Titch. No doubt.

He is just one of a few players I would never want to see in Tiger jumper. I will happily lead the meltdown on this on as he is a lazy, turnover machine. We have enough of the already.

I'd happily take Motlop if we could do a player swap. BEllis, Titch, Houli, Grigg, all of them if they wanted.
Our list is poo, we need change.
We need run and catty and we need toughness.
Didn't Motlop come second in their B&F just last year?
Motlop for BEllis
Mitchell for pick 6
Prestia for Edwards and Lennon
Darling for Conca and Griffiths
Hartug for Vickory.
Our list is better and it wasn't that hard.

motlop was close to coming across last year Blamey could be the man to change him... He wasn't the worst Friday night for Geelong considering they have a 6 foot100kilo bloke at fullforward who is scared to throw his weight around in Hawkins motlop will be good for the club his in a good team and is playing ok each week unlike the likes of townsend, moore that we picked up please

West Coast wont swap a 40 goal a season forward for a 10 goal a season forward + a bloke who is more famous for cuddling than football ability.
Having said that the Eagles did once rookie JON - so what would I know.

On Darling, if a player wants out sometimes you are just better to get a deal done than keep them on your list. Whether you like Griff or not, he has potential. I personally don't think he will ever be anything more than just a highlights package, but some still get excited about a 5 goal game against the Swans, once a year...,
And yes I do think Hawthorn would swap Hartung for Vickery. I'm told by a very good source ;) that the deal is done.
-
Have not seen one thing to like from Hartung. He can run but so can Ellis.....same same but different :P

Don't worry guys, we can sort them out. All they need is some tender loving care.

so rockliff at his peak is worth a pick in the 20's? lol
Lennon 3rd rounder?
Marchbank a top 5 pick, that is 19 years old and had a few years development is worth pick 20 now?
Rory lobb worth a second rounder? id give up pick 6 for him
-
From Inside Football's Brett Anderson's twitter:
Q. it was said in the hun that lennon is going to goldcoast, have you heard that? If so can you see Richmond keeping pick 6
BA: They may but still a way to go. A few options to get deal done.
Q. heard anything in particular to what sort of deal is likely? Prestia, sps and picks for conca, vickery to take to the draft
BA: Just that Conca may be involved in some way.
Q. surprised suns would want him considering there record with injured players
BA: Doesn't necessarily mean he's off to GC. Can be a three-way deal if need be.

Played two matches this year - 32 touches & 8 tackles in a win v lowly Tankmantle in round 16, 15 touches & 2 tackles in a loss v up & comers St.Kilda in round 17.
Downhill skier...should fit right in....

He's finished. Injuries slaughtered him.
Former captain of their club and a genuinely courageous player.
Calling him a downhill skier is pretty wrong IMO.

Pfft....Alberto Tomba's got nothing on him......

Now this is someone we should be after:

Are Carlscum going to get EVERY GWS kid that wants to move back home?

Why do you think they sent SOS up there for a few years, then got him back? Just like Collingwood did with Gubby Allen....:shh
-
According to Footy Classifield:
Swans offering Tom Mitchell $500-550k p.a. over 5 years. Hawks offering 50-100k more than Swans.
-
How Mitchell is not worth more is beyond me
Get rid of bellis get rid of Batchelor and lids and offer Mitchell 650 and be done with it
Take a risk ffs

Really hope we go after Stewart.

The Adelaide Advertiser are reporting that Port ruckman Matthew Lobbe looks set to exit Alberton Oval, and seek a fresh start.
https://www.facebook.com/AFLTRDON/

But the Power will not move - as speculated - on Western Bulldogs free-agent ruckman Will Minson in a homecoming move to Adelaide. The out-of-favour Bulldog is commanding interest from several clubs - in particular Brisbane, Gold Coast, Richmond and North Melbourne - but Port Adelaide insists the Norwood draftee is “not on our radar”.

Minson??? :banghead
crap player and a massive tool

He would cancel out our Vickery compo so I doubt we'll give that up for him.

Blair will go back to the well and throw a 2nd rounder or the Vickery compo pick for lobbe.
-
flair dudley will screw yet another draft up for us.
-
Hope we go for Stewart.
And if we're prepared to offer Prestia $700k/year and the Swans are offering Mitchell $500-550k and Hawks $550-650k then why the hell don't we offer him $700k/year?

Hoskin Elliot reportabley going to Collingwood for a 3rd round pick!
I know he's been injured but he's an elite kick, straight up replacement for Houli with ten years left in him (if he gets his injurys right) I'd be taking a punt on this kid way before half the other names thrown up, especially at that price!
-
According to ESPN Australia, Carlton midfielder Bryce Gibbs is reportedly interested in a move back home to Adelaide.
It is believed that Gibbs' management have been holding discussions with the Adelaide Football Club about a possible move to South Australia.
Although, it should be noted - Gibbs has three years left to run on his current contract. Therefore, the only way to get to the Crows would be via trade.

Oh and
Admittedly I haven't seen much of him, but Toby Nankervis from Sydney looked alright the other night. Still young at 21 and a little short but he just looked like he had a real go and wasn't too shabby. Laid 9 tackles as well. A bit behind the pecking order over at Sydney so could be a realistic.

199cm is becoming 'short' for a ruckman now days when competing against more and more 205cm+ blokes who can leap tall buildings in a single bound.

Would love to extract Naismith

What nine tackles in a game, that's preposterous Hampson laid 36 for a whole season at 1.8 per game, how does Nankervis find the energy to ruck as well.
I suppose you are going to say something totally outrageous like he also involves himself in general play around the ground

Regarding Tom Mitchell, we understand the Blues are as much of a chance to sign him as Hawks. Media hyping up a Hawks move though..
Kaiden Brand's contract talks with Hawthorn have stalled. North Melbourne leading the race.

As much as we need depth in our ruck stocks, we need a good frontline ruckman more.

This is the thing. The powers that be at our club have an operating system completely different from rational people.
It's a mixture of arrogance, incompetence, indifference and complacency. They are not do-ers. We are not good enough to lure the best people to deliver success.
They are employed to talk and mimic success with the mere incidental chance (and at best, hope) of delivering it. It's all about selling hope and managing the club til the next collection of inevitable failings results in a clean out.

Tom Browne on Ch 7 news just now:
Bulldog Lin Jong most likely off to the Gold Coast despite his mid-season 'visit' to the Pies.
Brisbane's Pearce Hanley also off to the Suns for a first round pick.
Tom Mitchell should nominate Hawthorn as his preferred club to move to. Swans to use the freed up salary cap space on Heeney, Mills and Allir.
Also 3 Giants on the move - Marchbank to the Blues; Hoskin-Elliot to the Pies; and Jack Steele to the Saints.

When we talk about keeping pick 6, I think we are forgetting Halfwit is coaching for his life next year. He will trade that pick 6 for a ready to go player to save his career and we all know that. In fact most of the management around him will be wanting it too.
Just another reason keeping him is and was I massive mistake.

No matter who we pick their career is finished due to our poor development so may as well give pick 6 away in the motlop trade,

Obviously you'll both act as silent partners in the venture. BTW - how well are the people we're currently paying been travelling? They must be going well seeing as they apparently know what opposition players are thinking before even asking them or their managers....
-
Lets hope we are into Stewart from GWS, he has nominated a Melbourne Club as his preference and we have been into him for a couple of years so fingers crossed. I would suggest Prestia and Stewart would a good trade period for the Tigers. Also very comfortable with Leppa back on the coaching panel, with Caraccella we are moving in the right direction as well.

Now come on you lot, we know the RFC are working behind the scenes to secure some big fish with the big war chest, the same as they do every year.

Greater Western Sydney has met with Essendon to discuss what it might take to secure the Bombers' No.1 draft pick, ramping up negotiations as trade period nears.
The two clubs met on Friday with the Giants keen to get their hands on the first pick in the NAB AFL Draft, as speculation continues that it wants to secure highly rated defender Andy McGrath.
AFL.com.au understands the Bombers are attracted to the prospect of turning their No.1 into two high draft picks to potentially replicate their draft strategy of the past two years and bring more talented youngsters into the club.

Don't listen to what is reported by media trying to stimulate interest, its the goings on behind closed doors that matters. Jack for example has said many times he is going nowhere which has been confirmed by club and his manager yet, they still put up articles on the AFL web site saying "clubs circling".....utter crap from media flogs! We can land Fyfe dont worry about that ;)

Pickers on Jay Schulz: We're hopeful of him playing AFL next year.
Damo on Wells: Can I put it to you that it's 2 years from the Roos and 3 from the Pies
Pickers: Yeah that's around the mark. The Cats have got some interest too, there's no doubt about that.
Wallace with some news on a potential recruit for @WestCoastEagles - @CoburgFC ruckman Tom Goodwin in the frame.
Lucas in Sicily: He is very keen to remain at the Hawks. The Suns are going to ask for quality from the Hawks though.

RICHMOND
Draft selections: 6, 42, 60, 78
Unsigned free agents: Ty Vickery (restricted)
Delistings/retirements: Troy Chaplin (ret), Adam Marcon, Liam McBean, Reece McKenzie (ret)
AFL.com.au says:
After missing out on several big-name recruits in recent years, the Tigers convinced Suns midfielder Dion Prestia to nominate Punt Road as his preferred new home.
The Tigers will probably have to send pick No.6 to Gold Coast to get the deal done, but could receive one of the Suns' four second-round picks or a fringe Sun in addition to Prestia.
Richmond made a big play for Geelong speedster Steven Motlop last year and rival clubs suspect they could renew that interest this year, possibly as part of an exchange for star veteran Brett Deledio.
Despite constant denials from club and player, Deledio, 29, could depart as the Tigers seek to refresh their list.
Richmond will also look to bolster its ruck division if veteran Ivan Maric accepts an offer to join Collingwood.

Ruck/forwards
Richmond has been linked to Nathan Vardy and the injury-prone 25-year-old Cat could prove to be a bargain, if he can stay on the park.
Vardy has a ton of talent but has managed just 25 games since his debut in 2011 after a series of knee and hip problems.

Whats our obsession with injury prone players??
It is our approach to consistency, successful clubs use consistency for other reasons, such as winning flags. We are consistently good at picking up garbage, we are in fact #1 in the AFL at it.

Geelong are interested in Carlton's Zach Tuohy, and Steven Motop may be included in a deal with the Blues.
GWS list manager Craig Cameron confirms there could also be a further swap of picks with the Blues in the Marchbank deal.
St Kilda are interested in GWS's Aidan Corr.
Carlton, Essendon, St Kilda, & Melbourne are all interested in WB's Nathan Hrovat.
Fremantle's Matt De Boer has confirmed he'll be leaving Fremantle, saying he's "ready for the next episode."
James Stewart is attracting a lot of interest from Victorian clubs. Essendon are the latest club to join the race for the Giants forward.
Carlton are interested in acquiring GWS player Pat McKenna. McKenna was taken at pick 23 in the 2014 National Draft and is yet to debut.
Gold Coast are showing interest in Western Bulldogs player Lin Jong, who has been offered a 2 year deal from the Dogs.
Lynden Dunn's manager has confirmed Brisbane's interest in the Melbourne defender.

Sydney are rumoured to have great interest in Richmond forward shane edwards with ben mcglynn set to retire.

straight swap edwards for nankervis?
-
I recon there needs to be one rule from now on from the RFC come this time of year
IF A PLAYER ISNT AN A OR B GRADER OR HASNT SHOWN ENOUGH TO SHOW HE POTENTIALLY MIGHT BE, DO NOT GET.
Working on that one rule would have saved us 4 players straight away that are taking us nowhere.
Hampson, Hunt, Townsend and Moore. And that's being generous to others. Imagine 4 extra kids and what they might have been.
At our stage of the game we need to forget about drafting these types for depth. We have more than tried that. Every person we draft or trade for must be a or b grade or have the potential to be.
Drafting kids we will have our misses but draft enough of them sensibly and we will fill our side with enough talent to be able to beat the good teams on a consistent basis. Clubs have shown you don't need all first round picks to pick up gun players.
But it also works the other way- if we have guys on our list that aren't a or b graders and haven't shown enough to potentially be- delist or trade them too and don't wait to long to do so.
Names like Batchelor, Grigg, Houli, should all be gone IMO..
So that's 7 spots straight away for kids and maybe 1 or 2 A or B graders from other clubs.
Add the retirees and we turn over 10 players that most wouldn't loose a second of sleep over.

we aren't that far off.... Bulldogs were a basket case two years ago and they just one a flag.
Our list isn't as bad as people make it out to be, its just not being used right, players aren't being made to work hard enough, the game plan sucks..
It can be turned around in 2-3 off seasons.

Another poor year, he will be gone...heck half a poor year and he will be gone.

Trying to add goal kicking ...

Miles is a good set shot for goal I reckon. In fact has good goal sense in traffic too.
I have no issue seeing a centre bounce three including Miles, Prestia and Hartlett (despite the latter being overrated). Takes loads of pressure of Cotchin (and Miles too for that matter).

Without following the draftees much this year therefore not knowing how deep it bats I think I'd be okay with that. Would prefer to keep pick 6 though. Then again with FJ at the helm I don't think we need good picks we need lots of them. A broken clock is right twice as a day as they say

Any info on a Richmond player going to request a trade to the dogs?
https://twitter.com/Rigs75/status/784683554428952577
Tom Browne reports that Geelong forward Shane Kersten is on the move to Fremantle and that the trade will be done early in the trade period.
https://www.facebook.com/AFLTRDON/
Nankervis a chance to Richmond. Williams unlikely at this stage though.
Port and Essendon emerging as the new front runners for Motlop. Blues, Tigers also a chance.
Dons are interested in Koby Stevens or Nathan Hrovat.
Sydney are interested in acquiring former Essendon player Shaun Edwards.
West Coast are expressing interest in delisted Carlton player Clem Smith, who played 7 games for the Blues last season.
https://twitter.com/AFLTrade
Port have emerged as a surprise contender for out of favour Cat Steven Motlop. The Power currently hold pick 9. Intent on using pick 9 in the draft, Port will try to trade in a 2nd RD pick + use Amon and O'Shea as sweeteners for Motlop.
Further #whispers circulating that Motlop toured Collingwood facilities recently. This is from a 2nd hand source, however I'd think it was incumbent on every club to at least look at a player of Motlop's potential. B+F runner up in 2015.
Melbourne have discussed offering Ricky Henderson a lifeline, possibly as a rookie.

I'd do that, rather take a punt on a young ruckman thats been in the system for a few years rather than stick with conca and lets face it, we wont be getting a draft pick under 50 for conca so take it and move on
-
Not sure about all this. Conca has been very homesick since arriving to Melbourne as is keen to go home. I would be amazed if he goes to Sydney but things change this time of year.

Does homesickness make you eat more pasta? If so, he's really homesick!

That, is a stuffing mystery but has nothing to do with Chol and his natural talent.

In the vfl games I saw live Chol looked good down back. Looked like he knew what he was comfortable back there.
You don't have to put all your talent in the forward line.
Or do you guys want to replace Chappy with another Chappy?

Well according to some well known experts on here, you are not allowed to play a midfielder or forward in the back line

Chol was putrid down back IMO. He would compete at the initial contest then have know idea that he needed a second effort if the ball was still in his area. And that has nothing to do with age or inexperience.
A natural backman is thinking about the second effort before he has competed for the first one.
Generally a natural forward is just more gifted when it comes to getting the pill on the fist attempted.
Chol is a ruck-forward, so play him there.
-
Interesting. Fair enough if that's your take.
He was definitely outmuscled a lot, but that was always going to happen. I thought he read the play much better in defence and his ball use and decision making coming out of the back half was good. .
I should point out that I'm referring to the second half of the VFL season. Helooked lost both forward and back in the early games.

Port has also been linked to Geelong ruckman Nathan Vardy, who Davies indicated would fit the profile of players Port was trying to secure.

FMD we should be chasing everybody too. Mitchell, Rockliff, Prestia, Hanley, Hartlett anybody with B+ or greater talent. Another year another glut of talent ready to move clubs and we're determined to get a single player through the door (Prestia this year, Yarren last).

Lids for Cockatoo or no deal.
They want Lids, they are not far away from a GF, they would definitely consider short term gain.
Plus they have a heap of young mids that are ahead of Cockatoo at the minute. He won't be getting a game in their midfield anytime soon with Danger, Selwood x2, Caddy, Guthrie, Duncan.
You would also hope there is a bit of "good will" between the two clubs now with Balme now at Tigerland.

Next years first rounder for Mitchell
Deledio for Caddy and a late sweetener eg third round.
Pick 6 for Prestia and one or two picks in the 20s.
Pick in the 30s for Nankervis.
Ins:- Mitchell, Presta, Caddy, Nankervis, plus we go to the draft with upto 3 picks in the twenties and be finished by the third round with Kayle Kirby.
Could be done but not sure I like giving up two first rounders.

What about a swap of picks our 6 with GCS pick 8 we get Prestia they get B Lennon and B Ellis I think that is a plus for us and a win for them??

I see swans want to package 14 and 17 to get a higher pick. I'd do that for 6, give gc 14 keep 17 and prestia.

Sydney are offering up pick 14 and 17 to try and move up the draft.
Anyone interested in trading pick 6 for 14, 17 and possibly Nancurvis?
Then offer 17 to GC for Prestier.
Do the deal with Delidio to the dogs for pick 18 and Hrovat giving us the following....
We lose pick 6 and Delidio
We gain Prestia, Nancurvis, Hrovat and picks 14 and 18.
-
Yep id do it, by doing that we hamstring GC and they would take 14 for Prestia imo. Prestia, Nankervis, Hrovat and picks 17, 18 & 26 would be a good result.

We lose pick 6 and Delidio
We gain Prestia, Nancurvis, Hrovat and picks 14 and 18.
Not a bad move but GCS will clearly want 14 as a minimum for Prestia but probably a player too.
I would try:
Pick 6 + B Ellis to GCS for Prestia + Pick 9
Pick 9 + Pick 26 to Sydney for Pick 14 + Pick 17 + Nankervis
Deledio to WB for Pick 18 + player (I prefer Koby Stevens to Hrovat personally)
So in summary:
Out - Deledio, B Ellis, Pick 6, Pick 26
In - Prestia, Stevens, Nankervis, Pick 14, Pick 17, Pick 18
And we go to the draft with picks 14, 17, 18 and 43.
-
And to be honest I would happily offer all of picks 14, 17 and 18 for good players such as the Rockliff + Hanley combination.
Admittedly we wouldn't have a pick until 43, but a midfield of Cotchin, Martin, Rockliff, Prestia, Hanley sounds great. Then some B-graders in Miles and Stevens and we look a lot better as a list.

At a bargain basement price. Nobody wanted him.
Let's hope he can be a reasonable backup player and stay uninjured.

With respect like you or i would know what these fools have offered him.
This board and the rest of these flogs would most likely have him on 350k plus a year for all we know

Not picks, but academy points. Pick 2 is worth a swag of points so they can pick up their academy kids.

Apparently SEN will inform us of another Tiger wanting out after 1pm this arvo

BANG!!!
who is it gonna be?
lay ur bets people

lol don't hold your breath..it might be just SEN wanting bozos like me to tune in

The Hawks just get things done. Effectively have swapped pick 14 for 23 and Brad Hill for Tom Mitchell.
Brisbane's Peter Schwab on Hanley leaving: I'm sure something will happen in that space with the Suns (with Scott Clayton).
Schwab: Jack Frost will be at the Lions next year, there's no doubt about that.

Hearing Geelong have knocked back Carlton's offer of Tuohy for Cockatoo. Darcy Lang the name being thrown into the equation now.
Geelong's Nathan Vardy is set to join West Coast or Port Adelaide. If Lobbe remains at Port, Vardy will join West Coast.

1/3 STK have been quietly dealing away. Their pitch goes like this: Want: *3 picks inside top 30 (currently have 1)
2/3 Want: *a young key defender *Lachie Weller; Offering: *A ruckman. Tom Hickey included *Pick 10 *Armitage + Webster
Armitage's QLD link + GC's need for mids, plus GC's glut of 2nd RD picks means previously required Armo now on table .
I believe STK will attempt to strike a deal with Freo. Tom Hickey for Lachie Weller and a pick. Obvious family connection.
Hickey is the surprise here. Whilst Longer has been linked to a move, it has been Hickey who gathered most attention

Also just want to say on a side note.. Andy Maher is the biggest fuckn flog on radio. Has spent the last couple of days talking down lids value. But on the other hand has pumped up Bryce Gibbs to the value of pick 13 plus Crouch.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-10-13/swapfest-sees-giants-land-no2-pick
What a farce this is. They get to move up the draft order to get a potentially better player AND get more points so they can draft academy players before anyone else, therefore getting a player worth more than their picks
-
We need to get this Pretia deal done sooner rather than later. I know we're waiting on what we'll get for Lids but we all know Hawthorn are going to rip GC off for JOM and they'll be wanting something very decent by the end. Put pressure on Hawthorn tiges!

Jack Steele to St.Kilda is apparently done
This really hurts as apparently we were very keen on him. Very little cost to the saints.
It's sad that these players are choosing clubs like Saints and Dogs (even though they won it) over a big 4 club like us. It's an indictment of where were at as a club as a destination.
This trade week is frustrating and I wonder if we will get any traders over the line at all.

This trade week is no different to others, we either pick up nothing or crap.
Mitchell has just gone to the Eagles.

Kane Cornes reckons Adelaide should trade pick 13 for Deledio which Richmond could then use to land Prestia, and keep pick 6 for the draft.

Yep for sure.
Why don't we have a crack at Rocky too?
We could quite easily add Prestia and Rockliff and keep pick 6 if we pull our finger out.

I reckon rocky might just be a bit that rocky I think after our last stuff up with yarran club treading carefully...

If a deal can't be done to Richmond. This puts extra pressure on GC to do the deal IMO. They won't want a player on their list that would prefer to be at Richmond.

Yeah would be the MO of the RFC, stuff around until they stuff it up. :clapping

Waiting Waiting Waiting
Has Richmond done anything this last week. Have they traded some of the list cloggers or is it going to be another very sad decade.

Isnt it embarrassing that Hawthorn make a call on a still very valuable player in Mitchell, whilst we re-sign Maric? :-[

Yes.
Once again they will fail to make any significant additions to the list.
Must be the dumbest accountants in the country.
LMAO @ keeping Peg, dimmer and Benny and expecting the club to appear as a viable business move for homeless players.

could be movement apparently balme meeting with caddy... so looks like the lids - caddy could be closer then what we think....
when we look at it if its a straight swap do we win out??? adding midfield depth for 6-8 years and loose a club legend who has maybe 2 left in those legs???

For the RFC not to get the Prestia deal done would signal long term problems for us, no club will want much do with us in the future regarding trades, not that they do now.

Not sure how you come that conclusion
What have we stuffed up exactly?
All comes down to if you think Prestia is worth pick six
For memory most on here have said no
So i thought folks would be happy with the clubs stand here

Lots of hot air and bluff being played out amongst the clubs currently..Its all very entertaining to be honest

We are never in a position to get decent players with our picks, trade wise, no he's not worth pick 6 but we have nothing left do we or we won't get rid of players like Edwards, Ellis, Conca and the like to try and improve our picks for the trade. Because Hardwick loves them. Tell me the last time we actually successfully walked away from this time of year compared to other clubs...Then look at where we are. I would say that's a stuff up.

not really, he was going to retire and start coaching he is 34 years old. All he is doing is extending it a year and slotting into a ready made coaching pos.

If they're not going to give TM 500 how an earth are they going to offer DP 700 over 4?
Rubbish IMO.
-
I have no problem taking our picks to the draft if our targets are bust, but geez we'd want more than 6 and 26 to go forward with.
-
I'd prefer to trade out our entire list for picks and future picks.
Save cap space for when we are remotely close to top 4. Prestia will be finished by the time we are top 4 again IMO. Trading pick 6 for him would be a disaster.
If we trade Lids I'd prefer us to keep the pick than to on trade it to GC especially if it was a decent pick.

Got a bit of inside news that GWS's James Stewart will request a trade to Essendon.
My Blues source telling me a Queensland club has enquired about Andrejs Everitt. Wouldn't take much, on the outer at the Blues.

I can also for the first time reveal that North are heavily pursuing contracted Bomber David Zaharakis. Out of contract at the end of '17, Zaharakis, who is currently O/S, has left his manager in charge of negotiations
In other news, talks continue to progress between injury plagued Giant Paul Ahern + NM

I would try:
- Pick 6 + B Ellis to GCS for pick 9 + Prestia (need to shop Ellis and GCS wants players)
- Deledio + pick 43 to WB for pick 18 + Koby Stevens (must trade Lids at his age still with currency, Stevens worth a look IMO)
- Pick 9 + pick 26 to SYD for pick 14 + pick 17 + Toby Nankervis (pick 9+26 have similar value to 14+17, Syd have made it clear they want to go up the draft order so they clearly want to draft a player they're not entitled to in their academy that they think will be gone by 14 - hopefully they're prepared to trade their 4th ruck preference to do this)
- Pick 14 + 17 + 18 to the draft OR trade to Brisbane for Rockliff, Hanley and their 2nd round pick (pick 20?)
Shop Edwards and Lennon for currency to acquire KPPs - specifically Tomlinson and Marchbank to shore up both ends. Young and have shown good potential. I think this is very doable.
Out:
Pick 6
Pick 43
Deledio
Vickery
B Ellis
Edwards
Lennon
In:
Prestia
Rockliff
Hanley
Nankervis
Stevens
Tomlinson
Marchbank

Jordan Lewis rejects trade to Gold Coast, set to be a Demon. The Demons may only be prepared to offer pick No.66 or even No.84 for Lewis.

Carlton have insisted they will not budge on Gibbs' move to Adelaide unless the Crows improve their offer of a first round pick and a player. Rory Atkins was the latest player suggested in a trade along with pick 13 but Carlton have rejected this. The Blues want pick 13 and a player such as Charlie Cameron, Mitch McGovern or possibly Brad Crouch, given that Gibbs is contracted for three more years at the club.
The Western Bulldogs will deal with Fremantle on Joel Hamling and with St Kilda on Koby Stevens. Carlton and North Melbourne are both in the hunt for the Dogs' Nathan Hrovat.

Hawks lose 2017 first round plus 2- 2017 second rounders to get pick 10 which they want to give to GC. That's a big price
Out 2 club legends
Let's hope this is there Richmond moment from the 80's

If Mitchell and Lewis had both retired would anyone have batted an eyelid.
Clearly they think a g/f is out of the question and they are making hard calls and rebuilding. they clearly have targeted young players who will get them up the ladder in time.They at least have a plan . Hmm hard calls something we never do wish we were more like them.

Lewis from same draft as Lids, traded for pick 48, sounder body.
If we traded Lids for pick 48, you'd soil your pantaloons

GWS' James Stewart told the club he wants a trade to Essendon. Stewart will get to Essendon in exchange for either a late pick or via the pre-season draft, where the Bombers have the first pick.
The Bombers also say that talks with Melbourne over a trade for Michael Hibberd have made little progress.
Collingwood are interested in picking up Fremantle's Alex Silvagni, after defender Nathan Brown departed the club for the Saints. The Pies are also interested in Melbourne's Lynden Dunn.
And Xavier Richards' agent arrived in Melbourne today to begin discussions with several Victorian clubs.
http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/afl-trade-period-2016-live-coverage-day-seven-20161017-gs4jas.html
Gold Coast and Hawthorn were likely to head into mediation over Jaeger O'Meara.
Collingwood will trade pick Jarrod Witts to Gold Coast for pick 44, with the Pies to get a bit back in return.
The Bryce Gibbs deal could involve Adelaide's pick 13 and their second-round pick next year.Under another scenario Adelaide would hand over next year's first-round pick in addition to 13 this year, and get Carlton's 2017 second-round pick back. For the Crows, that would mean sliding down the 2017 draft order rather than giving up a full selection. If Carlton secure pick 13 from the Crows, GWS will request that pick alone for defender Caleb Marchbank. A separate deal would then need to be done for Jarrod Pickett.
Brisbane are committed to trading for Collingwood defender Jack Frost and may need to use a future pick.
Fremantle must now work a deal with Geelong for forward Shane Kersten, a close friend of Hamling, while the Bulldogs will trade midfielders Koby Stevens and Nathan Hrovat.
The Dogs will also send a late draft pick to Collingwood for forward Travis Cloke.
A number of clubs are waiting to see which clubs end up with which picks, hoping to move further up the draft order.

Jaeger O’Meara could be forced to nominate for the AFL national draft
Jay Clark
Herald Sun
October 19, 2016
HAWTHORN could walk away from negotiations with Gold Coast over midfielder Jaeger O’Meara in a move that could force the Suns’ star into the national draft.
Talks between the two clubs have slowed to a halt with the Suns yet to accept the Hawks’ two top picks, which are No. 10 and No. 48, for O’Meara.
Hawthorn believe a first-round and third-round pick is a fair deal for a player who has not played a single senior game over the past two seasons due to serious knee injuries.

Pick 1 and jäger

still has to get to the PSD.
hawks will get him with 10 or GC will get him back in the ND, remembering they have plenty of picks in the draft.
fascinating interview with the GC chairman. Standing firm they are and good on them.
-
No.1 pick
Fair enough
He was pick 1 in the mini-draft yeah, but you know what's funny though? People talk about Prestia being injury-prone when there's very little to suggest his injuries will be overly chronic or recurrent. On the other hand O'Meara's injuries are EXACTLY THAT yet everybody seems to think he's worth all the currency because he was a number 1 pick and had two good seasons - yet hasn't played AFL for two years since!
Heck even Lids' injuries reek of recurrence and the typical soft-tissue nature of a bloke whose body is failing him yet people think getting Caddy in return is a poor outcome for a bloke so cooked and disinterested in staying. Honestly I'd have traded Lids to Hawks in exchange for Lewis at this stage...
I think they are dirty on Jaeger for requesting a trade.
Agreed, and I can imagine them waiting until the last minute before accepting Hawk's offer otherwise they lose him for nothing. GCS really must be a crap place to play given how many people want out...
-

Yeah wouldn't it be hilarious if Hawks traded away their stalwart midfielders and future picks only to miss out on O'Meara, or even get him in a trade and he never plays again lol

Pick 1 in mini draft yes lol
Afl rats

Yeah here have a first pick selection then we'll let the draft start again after you've taken the best player lol

I'm not an expert on the plastic franchise clubs but I believe the argument is jägers potential / ceiling is very high, much more so than Prestia. Even if there is little chance he will stay on te park. Hawks claiming the worlds greatest sports-docs will fix him too, like they did rioli, Burgoyne
To be fair pictures in the last preseason thread lids looks in pretty good nick. Wouldn't surprise me if they get a lot f good football of of him.
On the other hand he might have five games left. It's a good risk for gws to take imho. In that side he will run riot

Happy with our work so far. Spewing we don't have a top 10 pick though.. I think that's pretty important for us. Don't see us grabbing one either as Deledio won't be going to gws. But if we get caddy somehow then I'd say, caddy + Prestia + nankervis is worth the picks we lose.

Yessssssssssssssss that's more like it Tigers :clapping
Actually, I'll play devil's advocate for a change.....whilst 15 is massive overs for Caddy IMO and I'd rather not do that - the general consensus amongst all the draft experts is that you can pretty much throw a blanket over the talent between pick 8 and pick 30, possibly even up to pick 40, so there won't really be that much of a difference between pick 15 and our next two current picks, 24 & 27...... my concern however is even if this is indeed the case, the further we go down the order, the more "funky" & "cute" our recruiters tend to get with their selections....i.e. less chance of us reaching for a bloke worth pick 40-60 with 15 than there is with 24 & 27.....
Also, I'd really like Griffin Logue and there's a chance he still might be there at 15.....

Actually, I'll play devil's advocate for a change.....whilst 15 is massive overs for Caddy IMO and I'd rather not do that - the general consensus amongst all the draft experts is that you can pretty much throw a blanket over the talent between pick 8 and pick 30, possibly even up to pick 40, so there won't really be that much of a difference between pick 15 and our next two current picks, 24 & 27...... my concern however is even if this is indeed the case, the further we go down the order, the more "funky" & "cute" our recruiters tend to get with their selections....i.e. less chance of us reaching for a bloke worth pick 40-60 with 15 than there is with 24 & 27.....
Also, I'd really like Griffin Logue and there's a chance he still might be there at 15.....
Chance are, if you want him we'll take someone else.
Also blanket over talent pool or not. Its pretty clear what we need and we know we wont address it

Oh jeez wow! We couldn't believe our luck that player was waiting for us at pick 27... just what we wanted :shh

(Caddy)
Would be dam good

Strange that, isn't it? Salary must be busting at the seams. Wonder if it played a part in Bartel retiring

It's been a while since we could say that Richmond has had a good trade period. It seems we have been accommodating, shrewd and uncompromising at times when it counted.
Just need to see this translate to the games.

turn it up. We have done what is required at the bare minimum and buckled under pressure and gave GC pick 6 or did you forget that?
Get Caddy and a mid teen pick and its a pass for me. Certainly one of the better ones in recent times but not great until we see how these 2 perform. (caddy, prestia)

Until we have proof ie Caddy = pick 26, Lids = 13/15 then we have no real evidence.
Prestia for pick 6 is an ok deal (trading future 2nd round pick for their current 2nd round is vanilla)
Nankervis is just another deal
Neither are exactly shrewd or uncompromising....

One thing is certain for some of you and that is Caddy and Prestia are certainly going to be better than a couple of betamax specials..... :shh

We have currently done Prestia for 6, essentially which is not Great. The ruckman deal was good. Nankervis is pretty much a nobody we just were desperate for some ruckman
It's looks like things could pan out well by the deadline...

The reality is, it has been a good trade period for us. We got overs for Lids, paid overs for Prestia but paid unders for Caddy. We also got a ruck who will be better than our current stocks for a late pick.
We have done better this trade period than many of our others. It's ok to praise the club from time to time.

Pick in the mid 20's for Tyrone was a great result too.

Nor have we traded Lids. Talk tonight it's for a FUTURE first round pick :lol

I just hope the moron isn't that stupid to know he has to change what he has been doing. I'd be happy to eat humble pie if he can turn things around but I don't think he is a good coach at all. Not since about his 2nd or 3rd year.
-
Who cares if it's pick 15 or a first in 2017, it's close to the same thing. Both drafts are rated pretty good also.
Are GWS going to give us any steak knives on top, because IMO a stand alone first round is fair value for lids
-
Maybe they can throw in hoskin-Elliot - his value is rated about 3rd round
-
Carlton and Geelong have agreed in principle on a trade that will see Zach Tuohy join the Cats for Geelong's future first round pick and Billie Smedts. An exchange of later draft picks would also be involved.
The Blues will look to pass on Geelong's future first round pick to GWS for Caleb Marchbank in a standalone trade that means they will not need to wait on receiving pick 13 from Adelaide for Bryce Gibbs in order to do the deal.
Carlton will trade picks 45 and 55 for Jarrod Pickett and the Giants' pick 58.
The Bulldogs have agreed to trade Nathan Hrovat to North Melbourne, with the clubs to switch their third round picks in the 2017 draft as well as their fourth round selections.
The Eagles and Geelong will work to do a deal for ruckman Nathan Vardy who has asked for a trade west.
Essendon and GWS will look to finalise a trade for forward James Stewart.

Short term gratification damien cares

What will a pick 15 (2016) or a 18 (2018) do for damian? Nothing
They are still developing and in a our case history will say they won't be much chop either.
I hope it's this years as they hold the better pick and we don't have an early pick
-
Stewart for pick 77
-
Stewart for pick 77
Yet we paid pick 6 for Prestia and pick 24 for Caddy :help

Stewart for pick 77

No we paid pick 6 and next years 2nd rounder for Prestia and Caddy and an upgrade of 3rd rounder.
Pretty reasonable in my book.

Reasonable. That's exactly right, not great
Second round for Caddy is fair value. WHE and Hibberd went for similar picks
I mean ffs did they even try get Jack some help in a tall forward line
Ooh hang on we have Griffiths :help
-
Really should be trying to get Richards.....
-
Hawthorn frantically trying to get a future 2nd rounder for JOM.
God I love trade period! :cheers
15 mins to go!

JAEGER DEAL DONE. Hawthorn ups its offer and lands its man, with the help of Carlton. Trade details exclusively

That's all folks, time wise!
Trades can still go through if the paper work is in.

SEN saying SOS has walked away and Gibbs is staying at Carlton.
Marchbank and Stevens deals done. Still no details for any of these late trades.
-
T Cloke pick 76
P Stewart pick 77
L Dunn pick 49 (effectively)
A Black pick 92
Honestly I would happily have taken any of them to shore up our KPP stocks. I mean seriously we could have used pick 56 to get Stewart and Black together probably.
-
Word is Carlton were demanding two first rounders for Gibbs. :snidegrin :snidegrin
Gibbs is furious apparently.
More to come I would have though. :rollin

Stewart & Black good value at those picks...should have grabbed at least one or tried to get Richards....

stuffin hopeless and its why this trade period is barely a pass

Wasn't Dunn basically free?

Heard from a source that when Carlton opened up their negotiations with Adelaide for Gibbs the Carlton opening offer was for pick 13 AND Rory Sloan.
Adelaide realised at this point that they weren't going to get Gibbs for anything reasonable and asked Gibbs' manager to try and talk SOS around.
He must be a world class prick to trade with, hence why Carlton only trade with one club at the moment.

Trading Yarran to us would not have helped him. Now all clubs know he is not to be trusted.
Gibbs is now an indentured servant of the club he doesn't want to be at. Should be great for team morale.
I HATE CARLTON. :lol

Yeh the prick held out with Yarran for 1st rounder last year also. Made us trade a future 2nd rounder in the end. Considering Yarrans issues that was a pricks act. Hope Gibbs now walks out of them.
A real simpleton that will stuff their club when the rest of the competition refuse to deal with him.

I really hope it happens. Fancy, in all seriousness, asking for Sloan AND pick 13.
The equivalent of as asking for Cameron AND pick 2 for Deledio.

no pal we were the only fools last year and they are the real winners.
No one makes you sign anything and what sos did was fantastic. I only wish my club had balls like that firstly to trade out a dud (yarran) and secondly to keep gibbs to his contract.
Gibbs is still worth a first round next year so they havent lost anything.
