Poster Drofder on BF (https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/2020-mini-pre-season-training-watch.1239997/post-65344632):
I’m hearing we are in excellent position list and cap wise going into next year and we are very confident of shaking out not 1 but 2 big name players from other clubs for next season.
We already have a big saving with Rance’s contract terminating last December but apparently we have massively front loaded a few contracts last year and this year - not the least of which is Lynch and Caddy. Plus, we re negotiated on pretty favourable terms with Shedda, Jack and Chimpa plus in all likelihood Bachar will retire at season’s end.
All up, I’m hearing we’re gonna have the best part of $3m in cap space going into 2022.
...
Im hearing that one player may necessitate us having to trade away our first round pick. We’re looking at a prime defender and a prime mid. The prime mid is part of a plan to extend Dusty’s career by sending him forward more over the ensuing years. The overall strategy appears to be similar to Hawthorn’s over 13-15 where we recruit in big name experienced players to take advantage of the window we’re in. We know it will require a reset in a few years but the time and the capability is with us right NOW.
Rance will never play for us again. The club’s pretty much said that but there’s also another supporting element behind it. A few clubs are interested in trading with us to ensure he gets to a club of his choice - whoever he may select. Maybe a 3rd rounder or that range. One club has a few planets aligning with us it seems.
-
Rance is a round 1 draft pick not a 3rd rounder. A 3rd round choice woulf mean we have been reamed.

The annual Brad Crouch wants to move story. Does he still want $1 million? Same ending if he does.

Reckon they're might be a few interstate Victorians pining for home after the events of this year so far.... :shh
Hope GWS is where we're looking for defenders... Taylor, Williams & Corr all still up for grabs... :shh :shh
Brad Crouch is cooked.
Agreed and never thought he was that great to begin with....rather go hard for one of Wines, De Goey, SPP or even a fringe GWS kid like Caldwell or Hately.... :shh :shh :shh

Getting Sam Taylor would be a master stroke!

Essendon and defender Adam Saad are not on the same page when it comes to contract negotiations, according to the Herald Sun.
The report suggests the two are far apart in discussions, despite his strong start to the 2020 season.
Saad signed a three-year deal when joining the Bombers from Gold Coast, which is up at the end of the year.

Are these (almost) free agents gettable? Meet 2020's 'pre-agents'
By Callum Twomey
afl.com.au
7 July 2020
The pre-agent is a player who will become a free agent in another year, thus ticking over from seven to eight years of service and being able to leave and join a rival.
This year is different in most ways, but COVID-19's impact won't stop clubs from hunting players who are only a year away from free agency eligibility.
KEY 2020 PRE-AGENTS
Adelaide – Matt Crouch, Rory Laird, Brodie Smith
Brisbane – Dayne Zorko
Carlton – Patrick Cripps
Collingwood – Jamie Elliott
Essendon – Orazio Fantasia, Zach Merrett
Geelong – Jake Kolodjashnij, Joel Selwood
Hawthorn – Luke Breust
Gold Coast – Sean Lemmens
Greater Western Sydney – Matt Buntine, Josh Kelly
Melbourne – Max Gawn, Christian Salem
North Melbourne – Luke McDonald, Trent Dumont, Jack Ziebell
Port Adelaide – Robbie Gray
Richmond – David Astbury, Kamdyn McIntosh, Nick Vlastuin
St Kilda – Jack Billings, Luke Dunstan
Sydney – Aliir Aliir, George Hewett, Luke Parker
West Coast – Dom Sheed
Western Bulldogs – Marcus Bontempelli

Gold Coast – Sean Lemmens
How the hell is this guy a free agent? I've never even heard of him

Playing for the Suns and not being a top 10 pick does that :laugh:.
Lemmens actually debuted against us in 2014 in our last lost to the Suns. He use to be a regular in their line-up but has been injury prone since 2018. Now he's a fringe player.

All in on Botempelli.

The Bont will be a dog for life...Tom Green will be better and is far more getable...watch his Rising Star interview on 360 from last week.....kid's just biding his time at GWS and could barely hide that he's hanging out to wear a the yellow & black....Tiger through and through... :shh

Yep extended for 2 years so 4 years in total. Cant get him till 2024
-
He'll be here soon enough.... :shh
Sam Taylor and one of GWS's quality young fringe mid like Caldwell or Hately should be the primary targets this year...if we're looking at older "premiership window" players then we should try and prise Rory Laird away from Adelaide now they're heading into rebuild mode and will get nothing for him at the end of next year...perfect Houli replacement...upgrade in fact...on a similar note..a bit of a gamble but wouldn't say no to a year or three of Luke Parker either...even if we can at least just get him to rotate with Prestia & Cotch in rehab... :shh :shh
-
Could do worse than to have a look at Sam Simpson from Geelong. Liked his game and no opportunity for him there
-
Throw the next sink at that Rankine because wow he can find the sticks!
GCS actually a very enjoyable team to watch this year. Need to raid some of those kids...
-
After the year they've had the AFL are going to have to reassess the value of persisting with the expansion clubs sooner or later whether they like it or not...#richpickings :shh
-
They wont get rid of GWS or Gold Coast. Theyve invested to much. GWS have been good and are growing support in Western Sydney and Canberra whilst the Suns are now showing good signs under steeart dew.

Carlton Big Footy Poster C4[2]Yo`DooR who's probably the most reliable snout there has linked us to him....though from what I've seen of him so far it's nothing to get overly excited about... :shh
-
Good call D, was touted as a gun in his draft year and was a first round pick but has not developed as expected.
Quote from Knightmares assessment of him( at the start of his TAC season) possibly gong pick 5.
" As a best available selection, Brodie would be a terrific compliment to Patrick Cripps in tight as one of this year's standout stoppage players. Brodie, 189cm, 82kg, is an immediate player who wins first possession at stoppages and displays excellent speed, agility and work-rate by position. He is a proven performer against mature VFL bodies and lifts when the game is on the line".
After four seasons you would have to call bust on him being an A grader but at the right price might end up being a solid C+ player.
-
Maybe as a Rookie if he got there , I think Richmond only get players that are in the first 22 of their current clubs otherwise go to the draft
if that’s that’s the strategy it’s been a winner the last 5 years
-
We shouldn't be interested in players from other teams unless they fill a need on our list.
That being the case where is our greatest need on our list?
I would suggest that we are short of another quality midfielder.
-
Yep, class mid missing from the rotation. Not B Crouch, SPP or Ollie Wines. I am thinking a Zac Merrett or someone along those lines. Left footer be good too.
-
Constable at Geelong on the outer. Won't play in the midfield if Selwood & Dangerfield are there and that's not going to change. Other clubs will come knocking at the end of the season according to Sam Edmund on SEN.

A plodder who's being kept out of the side by the likes of Menegola? Yeah...nah...pass... :shh

Sam Edmund on SEN just said Richmond still has some interest in Brad Crouch. Not as much as Geelong (due to Crouch being Dangerfield's former teammate) but the interest is still there. Crouch is a restricted free agent.

Overrated, slow & injury prone.... :shh
-
I’m concerned about the psychological issues that might be brought back up when he has to sing our theme song without being forced to :lol
-
The Big Footy lads have been on this rumor for a year or 2 re Crouch. Apparently the Crows are looking for players from S.A like Graham, Markov to strengthen their squad. Not sure we would entertain that if he is a free agent. He's solid but no star.
Jack Graham should be in the seniors by the way.
-
They want CCJ & Graham.....they can probably just take Markov as a dfa.... :shh
Getting Crouch the slouch for "nothing" would be bad enough.(don't forget Adelaide will want a high pick as compo so he won't be cheap salary-wise)...actually trading a similar younger player and/or a young KPP with huge potential for him would be downright idiotic.. rather take any of Fogarty (fat chance),Laird or maybe Himmelberg and/or one of their firsts(they have a couple this year)... :shh :shh

Report: Rival clubs keeping tabs on premiership Tiger
SEN
12 August 2020
According to AFL Media’s Cal Twomey, rival clubs are keeping tabs on the premiership Tiger who falls out of contract at the end of 2020.
Twomey understands that clubs view Graham as a “gettable” player having fallen out of favour at selection.
The 22-year-old midfielder has played six games in 2020 and hasn’t featured at senior level for the reigning premiers since the Round 8 loss to GWS.
“He’s out of contract and talks had started on a new deal prior to the COVID-19 contract shutdown,” Twomey told AFL Media’s Footy Feed.
“He’s also out of the side, last weekend he played for an Essendon side in a scratch match so some others have gone ahead of him in the queue at Richmond – and other clubs are certainly seeing him as a gettable player now.
“He’s a South Australian, a hard-bodied midfielder … he can come in and make an impact straight away which he did at Richmond.
"They (Adelaide) are keen to build up their midfield … depending on what happens to Brad Crouch as well. They’d be one of the clubs out there who will have a look.
“A number of other clubs are watching this space with Jack Graham.”
A shoulder injury ruled Graham out of Richmond's Grand Final win over the Giants last year.
https://www.sen.com.au/news/2020/08/12/report-rival-clubs-keeping-tabs-on-premiership-tiger/
-
This guy probably made an article straight out of BF.
Anyway, happy to trade Graham personally. He has a few good games per year. Just make sure we get something useful no effing pick 55.
-
His shoulder is the big issue for me. Towards the ends of seasons he looks really good but at the start of seasons when coming back from a shoulder he just doesn’t look like he has the mobility and is effectively playing 1 armed.
-
Interesting situation with Graham. Do the club believe Will Martyn, Jack Ross, Thomas Dow and RCD can hold down tough inside mid positions in the future years? This could provide the answer as to should Graham stay or go...i would love him to stay.
I didn't put English in this group as i think his time will be up this year.
-
AFL Media co-host Mitch Cleary added “a number of clubs” are also looking at South Australian Tiger Callum Coleman-Jones.
One of three ruckmen on the Tigers’ list, Coleman-Jones is contracted to Richmond until the end of 2021 after recommitting to the club in late 2018.
Coleman-Jones made his debut for the Tigers against Essendon in 2019, but hasn’t added to his AFL games tally since.

-
With Jack R getting near the end, I hope we keep CCJ.
-
Soldo, is the one you would allow to go or trade. If we trade Nank were idiots. If we trade CCJ were idiots.
You also don't let 22 year old future captains walk like Jack Graham. Would break my heart if he went TBH.
We need to keep this squad (not just the 22) together as long as possible within reason.

I don't think Graham is anywhere captain material tbh

Clubs circling dual premiership Tiger Nathan Broad
afl.com.au
13 August 2020
DUAL Richmond premiership player Nathan Broad is attracting interest as a trade target as clubs circle the defender.
Broad is out of contract at the end of the season and discussions on a new deal at Richmond have not progressed.
Gold Coast is looking to add to its half-back stocks this off-season and AFL.com.au understands they are among the suitors for Broad, who has played every game this season.
The Suns are searching to bolster their defensive stocks with Jarrod Harbrow and Pearce Hanley, who are both out of contract this season, both entering the latter stages of their careers.
Broad is also a close friend of Suns recruit and former Richmond teammate Brandon Ellis.
The 27-year-old, who joined the Tigers as a mature-age recruit, has shown his versatility in Richmond's back half since he cemented a spot in the second half of 2017.
He played in the Tigers' breakthrough Grand Final win that season and missed only one game last year en route to their premiership victory over Greater Western Sydney.
Richmond's list depth continues to amaze rivals with the Tigers again hit by key injuries and unavailable players through this season, but Damien Hardwick's men remain one of the leading premiership favourites.
Rivals believe fellow premiership Tiger Jack Graham, who is out of contract, could depart for more opportunities elsewhere after being squeezed out of the first-choice midfield.
Two-time premiership ruckman Toby Nankervis is also without a deal for next year, while talks haven't started on a contract extension for last year's Grand Final debutant Marlion Pickett.
Young ruckman Callum Coleman-Jones, who is tied to the Tigers until the end of 2021, is on the radar of clubs looking to boost their big man stocks.

Nank the perfect replacement for Mumfurd at GWS IMO and far more trade value than Slomo who I can't see going anywhere while Maric is still at the club anyway.. :shh
I don't think Graham is anywhere captain material tbh
Richie Vandenberg type of captain..... :shh :shh

I don't think Graham is anywhere captain material tbh
He captained SA in the under 18 championships and it is one of the reasons the Tiger's drafted him, his leadership qualities

This. And whether it just this year or not is a fair question but he seems to be regressing as a player. Unconfident, slow, hampered by his shoulder ?

Have said a number of times that I was told by a former AFL player that coming back from a shoulder reco is tough. Takes 12 months to get full movement back depending on how "tight" the surgery to the muscles/ligaments are. And the to that it takes 12 months to get full confidence back.that former player told me it was harder than a kmee reco.
Graham is coming off his 2nd. If we go back to last year it took until late in the season for him to get back to consistent footy. He basically had no full preseason and barely any contact training prior to round 1.
Reckon he has a few credits after his premium final effort. It would have been bloody easy to sit out the game. He didn't, he played on and helped us get to a GF.
-
Reckon Miller & Garthwaite might get reprieves if we lose both Broad & CCJ...though I've heard rumours Garthwate wants to pack it in anyway to pursue other interests...:shh
-
Sounds like groundhog day with the media regurgitating the same names they got off forums and were throwing out there last year. No one knows yet the number and quality of draft picks & salary cap available to make list management decisions
Even if it was true, don't expect anything in return for any of the three given we only received pick 40 for a dual premiership regular such as Ellis.

WATSON CAUTIONS SUNS OVER OUT-OF-CONTRACT TIGER
Essendon legend Tim Watson has warned the Gold Coast Suns to be “a little bit circumspect” in their pursuit of Richmond defender Nathan Broad.
It was reported on Thursday that multiple clubs are circling the two-time premiership Tiger, who has played every game this season.
Speaking on SEN Breakfast, Watson said that while Broad could be good at the right price, the Suns should be wary of paying too much to prise the 27-year-old out of Punt Road.
“You just need to analyse exactly what you’re going to get,” he said.
“I think there’s certain players that as part of a unit look good, but I wouldn’t be overpaying for these types of players because
I think once you take them out of that system and that unit then they’re not maybe what you think they are, so I’d just be a little bit circumspect about that one.
“It’s not that he can’t play ... just don’t be overpaying for those sorts of blokes, but they’re probably being underpaid at Richmond too because there’s so many talented players they need to keep on their list.”

Pass for mine.
-
No CCJ crazy to he is the most likely out of all our rucks to play forward role to big upside.
-
If CCJ wants to leave then so be it - we should be looking at what we can get while he still has a year to run on his contract ( there's a very good chance Adelaide will finish last again next year so if decides to go to the PSD they can jump straight on him and we'll get nothing) but doing it just to get Crouch would be downright idiotic....same goes for Graham...Adelaide have better things to offer than an overrated, overpriced injury prone restricted free agent that we really shouldn't even have to trade for anyway ..... :shh
-

Laird but CCJ + Graham likely wouldn't get that done. Interested in Foggarty too.
-
Can't let CCJ leave. Should end up a very powerful forward/ruck. He is already a fantastic contested mark and his kicking is sound. Must keep!
-
Adelaide dont have any good players. Laird is going downhill as a player. Keep the hyphen and jack instead.

SA products the Crows should target
afl.com.au
15 August 2020
Marc McGowan looks at seven rival players with South Australian roots who might appeal to a rebuilding Adelaide.
Callum Coleman-Jones (Richmond)
Age: 21
SANFL club: Sturt
2020 games: 0
Career games: 1
Out of contract: 2021
The top-20 draftee is in his third season as a Tiger and developing nicely as a 200cm ruck-forward. It's tough to break into Richmond's senior side at either position, with competition from Tom Lynch, Jack Riewoldt, Ivan Soldo, Toby Nankervis and Mabior Chol. Coleman-Jones has multiple rival clubs tracking his progress and he'd be an intriguing addition for the Crows. They could do with more ruck depth, but already have emerging forwards Elliott Himmelberg – who's showing good signs this season – and Darcy Fogarty. Himmelberg is serving as Adelaide's back-up ruckman to Reilly O'Brien, while Billy Frampton was recruited from the Power to compete for that role as well.
Jack Graham (Richmond)
Age: 22
SANFL club: North Adelaide
2020 games: 6
Career games: 45
Out of contract: 2020
Played in the Tigers' 2017 premiership in just his fifth game and would have doubled up last year if not for a shoulder dislocation in the preliminary final. It's been tougher for Graham this season and he's currently out of the team after being dropped for a second time. Has spent time on a wing in 2020, but can also play as an inside midfielder or across half-forward – he has four multiple-goal matches – so that positional flexibility helps his value. Richmond's been willing to offload its depth players in recent seasons, so it wouldn't be a shock if Graham left for greater security. Developing in the Tigers' successful environment adds extra sheen.
Others: Oleg Markov (Richmond)
Crows' 2020 draft picks
First round (Adelaide)
First round (Greater Western Sydney)
Second round (Adelaide)
Second round (Western Bulldogs)
Third round (Collingwood)
Third round (Fremantle)
Fourth round (Gold Coast)
* Could also match bids on Luke Edwards (father-son) and James Borlase (NGA).
** Restricted free agent Brad Crouch may score the Crows a high-compensation selection if he signs a lucrative long-term contract elsewhere.

Agree with Ramps. I'd keep CCJ. However, if Adelaide wants him then hand over your first pick.

Talented ruck/forward in his early 20s, a couple of years of development on an AFL list and at a top side at state level already under his wings plus a decade of footy ahead of him. He's not some dime a dozen flanker. We risked a decent 2nd rounder to draft him when he was a raw teen. He's worth a top 1st rounder now. Other clubs would kill to have him as his type & talent are hard to find.
This year's draft is heavily compromised too so picks are worth less than usual. If Adelaide want him then pay up.

Yeah we're not getting a first rounder for a kid who went at pick 20 three years ago and has only played one game of AFL so far, regardless of potential or position... :shh

So let me get this straight Machine
You wouldn’t take pick 1 for him ???
Dunno what’s in your water , but I gotta get me some

Would Lachie Hunter be getable from the Doggies?
Would he have a spot in our side?
And what’s he worth?
-
I think Hunter would be a good get for us. Hed be really good playing on a wing at the MCG.
I also like Hunter Clark from St Kilda and I still think Adam Cerra from Fremantle will be a good player.
-
According to Big Footy Richmond's main snout Tiger 71 (who I don't really rate but anyway) Adelaide, Wobbles & GWS all going "super hard" for CCJ and "strong noise" about Pickett back to Freo possibly to help us get Cerra.... :shh
Same bloke now reckons Cerra's not happening but now teasing that we're heavily into a "contracted player" who wants to come and "will set us up for years" and would "produce massive salt from oppo supporters if we pull it off" or something like that....says he'll reveal all in the next BF tigercast podcast...sounds like a bit of a wank to me and he's pulled this stunt before... but anyway...we'll see... :shh

Essendon and Adelaide keen on premiership Tiger Jack Graham
By Jake Niall
The Age
August 19, 2020
Essendon are among the clubs with a strong interest in Richmond's 2017 premiership hero and midfielder Jack Graham.
Graham, 22, is out of contract and of interest to a number of teams, with Adelaide another that has some interest in the South Australian.
Key Essendon figures – next year's senior coach Ben Rutten, assistant Blake Caracella and football boss Dan Richardson – have a relationship with Graham from their period together at Richmond. Caracella is the most recent to join the Bombers over summer after playing an important role in Richmond's 2017 and 2019 flags.
The Dons have a need for an inside midfielder and Graham would fit that bill, although at 181 centimetres, he is not the big body that the Bombers arguably lack.
Graham is one of the relatively small contingent of Tigers who are not contracted for 2021. All told, Richmond have 31 players signed from their playing list, with Toby Nankervis among the other players without a deal.
Richmond are one of the clubs with a very high percentage of players signed, despite the freeze of contracts that was only recently lifted. Collingwood have 30 players signed for 2021 or beyond, while Gold Coast have 38 but with an enlarged playing list.
Graham has played in seven of the Tigers' 12 matches in this shortened season, having returned to the team to play against the Gold Coast on Monday night.
Adelaide's interest in Graham is also well known and based on the fact that the midfielder hails from North Adelaide in the SANFL. The Crows, certain to finish bottom, would be well positioned to pursue Graham given their salary-cap space and expected number of spots on their playing list.
Graham missed the 2019 premiership after injury in the preliminary final against Geelong, when he played out the game despite multiple dislocations of the shoulder, a courageous feat that earned him plaudits from coach Damien Hardwick. He was replaced in the grand final side by Marlion Pickett, who famously made his AFL debut in the decider.
Graham booted three goals as a 19-year-old in the 2017 grand final, playing a surprising and important role in Richmond's first flag in 37 years.
The Tigers, having signed nearly all their key players and with few of their elite names out of contract, obviously have a tight salary cap, although the retirement of champion defender Alex Rance has alleviated that issue for the club somewhat. They regard Graham highly and there is no suggestion he is unhappy at Punt Road.

Good mark, good kick, good decision maker and showed yesterday he can play both ends...handy if we want to switch Balta forward during a match...in the longer term he can play a similar role to Riewoldt as a foil for Lynch which the likes of CCJ & Chol are probably less suited to... :shh :shh

Possibly behind Riccardi at GWS, with Cameron #1.

New club enters the race for premiership Tiger Jack Graham
By SEN
10 September 2020
Carlton is reportedly showing interest in Richmond midfielder Jack Graham.
According to AFL Media’s Mark McGowan, the Blues are keeping tabs on Graham who falls out of contract at the end of the season.
Essendon and Adelaide have also been linked to the premiership Tiger.
Graham has found form after being dropped twice at the start of the season.
Since returning to the side in Round 12, the 22-year-old is averaging a tick over 18 disposals, four tackles and three clearances per match.
Graham was part of Richmond’s 2017 premiership side but missed out on last year’s flag because of a shoulder injury.
https://www.sen.com.au/news/2020/09/10/report-new-club-enters-the-race-for-premiership-tiger/
-
we will get screwed once again on the trade table.
be nice if we just kept him and offloaded some other duds we have
-
Yep. Dont give any players to our key rivals. Especially not players like Jack Graham.
-
Especially not to Carlton who bent us over for Yarran and Hamspud. We got one over them with Grigg/Collins but still owe them a goodie.
Premiership player. Would their second pick (26 before any slides) do the trick?

Prefer to keep him at the Tigers who incidentally are one of the clubs keen on his services :snidegrin

Straight swap for Cripps?

Straight swap for Cripps?
They can have Higgins as a steak knife
-
Gold Coast will listen to offers for Peter Wright during the trade period, knowing they will likely have to pay a portion of his salary cap if he moves clubs.
Wright has two more years on a contract foxfooty.com.au understands is worth more than $500,000 per season.
It’s almost certain a rival club would refuse to foot the half-a-million dollar bill, but they could get him for a fraction of the price.
The Suns are open to trading the 24-year-old if he declares he would like to explore opportunities elsewhere.
Wright has slipped back in the pecking order in 2020 and hasn’t featured in Stuart Dew’s best 22 at all.
Victorian clubs have long believed he will be gettable in November’s trade period.
Essendon and Collingwood have told agents they would like another big man, while Richmond may need to look for a Toby Nankervis replacement if he doesn’t re-sign.
Wright, who is 203cm tall, has booted 85 goals in 66 games for the Suns since he was selected with Pick 8 in the 2014 National Draft.
Rival clubs see him more as a forward who can pinch-hit in the ruck rather than the other way around.

Out: Broad (Gold Coast), CCJ (GWS), Graham (Adel), Pickett (Freo) is what I have heard. My guess is Nank will stay if CCJ goes.
We need to clear cap space to fit in Baker, Chol, Soldo, Aarts off the rookie list and on to the main list.

Just going by the type of bloke he is.
Have spoken to him at a few club functions. Last one was pre COVID at a Club XII function in Feb this year and the one thing that stands out is his love for the club and how loyal is he.
So I am confident he will stay

I reckon this is bull dust..

Every chance we could get Tom should we want him. If he can build his aerobic ability he could be a very good player. Plods along and racks them up but has no leg speed. Me thinks he would jump at the chance if given half a snif :shh
-
He is playing well tonight as is Perryman...
-
Looks like he loves the contested footy likes to get in and under to extract the pill and hardly kicks the footy. Big boy too. :shh
-
Should be moving & earth to bring Tom Green back to his spiritual home....stuff anyone else... :shh
He is playing well tonight as is Perryman...
Don't pay for Perryman, don't even fix a price... :shh :shh
-
Tom Green had 30 possies last night (21 contested) playing just 67% gametime. Problem was he only kicked it 8 times (22 handballs). 193m gained = just ~6m gained per disposal. That's not our gamestyle. Adding an inside ballwinning bull to our side would be a handy addition but Green would need to build up his tank big time and kick the footy more often if he ever joins his grandfather's club.
-
What rot ...stats schmats.....he's exactly what we need in the guts... talent is talent and he'll be a gun.... :shh
-
Here's another stat for you: He lost to a rabble like Melbourne despite getting 30 possies and dominating the contested footy.
I didn't say Green doesn't have talent but he has got to build up his tank and turn his ballwinning ability into territory and scoreboard impact. Handballing it over 70% of the time cause he can't (yet) get separation from his opponent and gaining just 6m per disposal ain't that.
-
We got anyone from our northern feeder team that we are looking at?

Richmond’s stance on wanted midfielder Graham
By Andrew Slevison
SEN
2020-09-17
Richmond assistant coach Adam Kingsley says Jack Graham is a player the club is determined to keep.
The 22-year-old midfielder’s name is being mentioned in trade circles with the Adelaide Crows touted as a possibility while Essendon and Carlton have also been linked.
However, Kingsley says the 2017 premiership Tiger, who is out of contract this year, is someone the reigning premiers are keen to re-sign.
Graham was dropped prior to Round 9 but returned to the side in Round 12 and has been one of Richmond’s best players since, highlighting his importance to the team.
“It has been (difficult) early but he came back in a month ago and has performed really well,” Kingsley said on SEN SA Breakfast.
“He’s probably playing his best footy. He’s put his best block of footy together, I think, since he’s been here.
“We’ve been really happy with him. I’d imagine there are numerous clubs who are pretty keen to get his services but it goes without saying that we’re really keen to keep him.
“We think he’s a really important player. We’ve got a couple of midfielders who are moving towards the end of their careers so he’s the obvious one who we want to try and keep.
“We see him replacing them and being a long-term player for us.”

Top-Up Tom Cats again going by that.
As for Tom Green, they were comparing him to Clayton Oliver last night on the coverage. Not really a complement ;D as Oliver butchers the ball by foot.

Agree, damaged goods.
N0rt have turned an exceptionally talented player into a timid VFL standard player with zero confidence
I wouldn't look at any of them, they all seem damaged
It sums N0rt as a club that 2 of the delisted are in their leadership group this season
Seriously, Jasper Pittard in a leadership group :gobdrop

Blues fans don't want Graham.
I don't see it either Mick. He was a man child as an under 18 but he's a so-so footballer against players his own size. Doesn't win a heap of ball, isn't clean in his handling, no athletic traits and an average kick.
There's better choices out there.
Have you watched him lately ... looks really slow and probably finished …
This smells LIddle.....another overrated player looking for a big pay check on the back of team success. Hopefully Austin is not that silly or the yes man we fear.
As I've said elsewhere, I'd rather stump up the extra bucks for Jack Viney. Free agent and proven ball winner.
Hear, hear! I reckon Graham, like Brodie and Ahern, is a bit of a plodder - not a bad footballer per se, but not what our midfield needs.

North Melbourne looms as a potential suitor for Melbourne forward Tom McDonald, with the club exploring ways to replace Ben Brown in the trade period.
A stumbling block is likely to be McDonald’s salary, which the Herald Sun reported is as much as $700,000 per year for the next two seasons.
This significant amount means if he departs, the Demons would likely need to pay a portion of his wage until the end of 2022.
Carlton and Geelong both believe Jack Viney is up for grabs for the right price.

Out-of-contract Essendon speedster Adam Saad has reportedly gained interest from at least four rival clubs.
The Herald Sun is reporting Saad has attracted interest from rival Victorian clubs Richmond and Carlton, while 7 News have suggested Melbourne and North Melbourne are keen on the 26-year-old.
Brad Crouch is set to join former teammate Patrick Dangerfield at Geelong, according to Herald Sun reporter Jon Ralph.

I am not sure I would trade for any player unless an absolute star like Kelly or Greene became available.

Broad to Gold Coast for pick in the 20s or Peter Wright as a back up ruck
Pickett back to WA for something
Sign Nank & Graham.
Keep Stack for one more year.

If what Matt Rendell says about Matt Phillips being another Rowell is true I'd be trying to get one of Adelaide's first round picks - they currently have two and they could potentially have a third after the Crouch trade to Geelong...Phillips is tipped to go at at around 9 and one of Adelaide's picks is currently 8 but if the cat's out of the bag about him being another Rowell he'll probably go even higher....only thing is we're also massively into Hollands who's tipped go top 3 so maybe we're planning something along those lines....:shh
-
I think we as supporters undervalue our players. Broad has played in 2 x premierships. If we cannot get a second rounder for him then I don't know who would.
CCJ was pick 20, he's 20, he's had 2 years of development at the best club in the comp, and he's contracted. He's also ready to go. We need to drive the hardest possible bargain.
Yes, I am aware he is suspended for the first portion of the year but he's a 10 year player. Personally I would keep him

Richmond midfielder "legitimately torn" between staying or joining rival Victorian club
By SEN
23 September 2020
Richmond midfielder Jack Graham remains “legitimately torn” on whether to stay at Punt Road or take up an offer from Carlton, according to SEN Chief Sports Reporter Sam Edmund.
The 22-year-old premiership player, who is out of contract at the end of 2020, has been heavily courted by the Blues after impressing in his four seasons at the club.
Carlton continues to target midfielders to provide support for co-captain Patrick Cripps and Edmund reported that Graham “likes what the Blues have sold” with their offer.
“I think Jack Graham at the moment is legitimately torn between staying at Richmond and joining the Blues," he said on SEN Mornings.
“He likes what the Blues have sold to him – and I’m not saying that he’s definitely going – but the choice he has to make is between Richmond and Carlton.
“He is a chance of leaving and there’s an offer on the table from the Tigers and there’s some toing and froing taking place there is my understanding.
“But it isn’t done.”
It’s set to be a busy trade period for Carlton, following the likely acquisition of free agent Zac Williams, while they also continue to show interest in Essendon rebounding defender Adam Saad.

And will clubs come knocking for Jack Higgins? The Richmond livewire has been in and out of the Tigers' line-up this season as the fleet of small forwards at the club was boosted by the inclusion of Jake Aarts. Higgins is contracted to Richmond until the end of next year.

Adam Saad was asked at Brisbane Airport what his priorities are in the trade period.
“Everyone wants to win a premiership, but the thing for me is just to assess everything,” Saad told Seven News.
“Go back home and enjoy my time, see family again, it’s been three or four months and I haven’t seen my mum in that time.
“Me and my manager are working through it with the club, so first I’ll just go back home, see the family, relax and enjoy that.”
It’s believed a five-year deal totalling between $2.75 and $3 million would be needed to lure Saad away from Tullamarine.
St Kilda is emerging as a potential new home for soon-to-be-discarded Kangaroos forward Ben Brown, according to veteran AFL journalist Damian Barrett.

According to veteran AFL reporter Damian Barrett, while Saad has been linked with Melbourne, Carlton and Richmond, he is now likely to re-commit to the Bombers.
"I fully expect Adam Saad to now stay," he told Nine's AFL Sunday Footy Show.
"We know that there is a good offer or good offers for him to leave, but I think in the last week or so Essendon has done enough to keep him.
"That's still to play out, but that's the way I'm reading that one now."
However, Barrett admitted that Essendon was likely to lose both Joe Daniher and Orazio Fantasia.

AFL trades state of play: Every club, every player who could move and every draft pick
September 27, 2020 5:07pm

RICHMOND
They’ve kept Jack Graham at the club after he was linked to several others, which is a plus. The other out-of-contract Tiger drawing interest is Nathan Broad, with Gold Coast one of the lead contenders with close friend and former teammate Brandon Ellis making the move there last year. Richmond are one of at least four Victorian clubs linked to Adam Saad as the Essendon speedster continues to mull over his future. Saad has said himself he is driven by the quest for a premiership and none of his other suitors could boast being as close to one as the Tigers. There was some interest around Callum Coleman-Jones even though he’s tied to the club until the end of 2021, but his COVID-19 breach hasn’t exactly upped his value to other sides. Toby Nankervis is still without a contract beyond this year, but a serious knee injury to Ivan Soldo will boost his chances of another contract. Three interesting case studies are [/b]Marlion Pickett[/b], Jake Aarts and Derek Eggmolesse-Smith. All three remain on the rookie list and are entitled to reject another rookie contract at the end of the year and become unrestricted free agents if they choose. With list sizes to be cut and rookie numbers with it, at least one of that trio may well be looking elsewhere for opportunity.
Draft picks: 17, 32, 53, 71, 89

At least four ruckmen are expected to draw interest from GWS and Sydney, led by premiership Tiger Toby Nankervis. The other three ruckman set to draw interest are Melbourne’s Braydon Preuss and Port Adelaide pair Scott Lycett and Peter Ladhams.
Collingwood defender Darcy Moore’s management has reportedly told other clubs the 24-year-old will be staying put at the Pies.
Carlton have reportedly met with Essendon speedster Adam Saad “twice in recent days”. “Carlton has missed out on Jack Graham and they’re upping their efforts for Saad,” Tom Browne said.

The Dons are trying to lure Bachar back.
:lol
Baaahaaahaaaaaa
Here's the article:
ESSENDON is exploring the prospect of bringing Bachar Houli back to the Bombers.
The dual Richmond premiership defender, who sensationally walked out on Essendon in 2010, has received inquiries about a return more than a decade later.
AFL.com.au understands the Bombers are open to offering Houli greater career security with the 32-year-old playing on one-year deals for the past two seasons at Punt Road.
While he is settled and content at Richmond, Houli doesn't have a contract in place for next season at the Tigers.
Houli shares a close relationship with Bomber Adam Saad, a player Essendon is trying to retain on a four-year deal amid keen interest from clubs including Carlton and North Melbourne.
"I call Bachar my brother, I've looked up to him since he started. We speak once or twice a week and we're very close," Saad said before playing with Houli for Victoria in February.
Houli won the first of his two AFL flags under Tigers defensive coach Ben Rutten in 2017 before Rutten crossed to Essendon in 2019. He has since been appointed senior coach for 2021.
The dashing half-back also spent time with key Bombers assistant Blake Caracella when he was at the Tigers from 2016-2019.

Off-contract defender Adam Saad has “one foot out the door” at Essendon, according to Bombers great Tim Watson.

Houli. Great player, love him but this is insanity from the bombers

Adam Saad has been “split down the middle” on his future, says foxfooty.com.au senior reporter Tom Morris. It’s not necessarily about the money, it’s about the direction of the club. Channel 7 reporter Mark Stevens reported the Bombers had upped their offer from four years to five, closing the gap on the length and money being offered by rival clubs in a renewed bid to secure his services.
Essendon utility Brayden Ham is attracting “preliminary interest” from rival clubs.

GWS has upped its offer to Jye Caldwell in a bid to ward off Victorian rivals from snaring the talented midfielder. The Giants are believed to have lifted their original two-year offer to a deal up to four years as Caldwell weighs up his future.

More Dodoro fantasy :putz. Why would Bachar go back to the club that's still the complete rabble that let him go for nothing a decade ago?!
Essendon should be massively rebuilding their list as they are not in the same galaxy to a premiership yet they are chasing a 32 year old they let go of as a 22 year old. They are the gift that keeps on giving :lol.

After dopey Dodoro and his massive ego refused our offer of an early 3rd round pick. Got greedy wanting a high 2nd rounder for what was then a 22 y.o. fringe player who wanted out. He even lied saying they wouldn't have used such a 3rd round pick in that draft when they ended up drafting three players after that pick. He and Essendon got what they deserved - Nothing! Hilarious that this bloke is still their chief recruiter a decade later. Yes, "thanks druggos" ;D.

Yep, it's correct. Essendon drafted 3 players in the 2010 National Draft after pick 47 that we offered for Houli.

Surely one of our worst performances when you think we could have acquired all of Tom Lynch, Luke Parker, Tom McDonald, Jarryd Lyons, Paul Puopolo, Luke Dahlhaus and Jeremy McGovern for nothing.
Houli is the only good thing we did.

One of our worst ever. Conca and Batchelor were both reaches. Jackson very lucky to still have a job after the Conca decision. Heppell, Caddy, Prestia and Lynch all went immediately after and were all higher ranked juniors and all turned out to be significantly better players

Rival clubs showing interest in Richmond duo
Could the pair leave Punt Road?
By Mitch Keating -
DEPUTY EDITOR
zerohanger.com
October 1, 2020
Richmond live wire Jack Higgins is reportedly attracting interest from rival clubs while Gold Coast continue to show curiosity in teammate Nathan Broad.
Higgins suffered a brain bleed in 2019 and after a steady recovery, made his return to the training track late last year. The 21-year-old featured for the Tigers in their opening pre-season game but has since struggled to break into Damian Hardwick’s side.
According to SEN’s Sam Edmund, the out-of-luck forward has gained interest from rival clubs.
“I think they may have been a few calls made (by opposition clubs) on this,” Edmund said.
“Whether he’ll leave or not seems wildly unrealistic, I think he stays and he’s got Richmond very much running through his veins and given everything he’d been through from a health perspective, it would be really hard to prise him out of there.
“Given his status (not being in the side), definitely calls have been made.”
Higgins is contracted with Richmond until the end of the 2021 season, while Broad remains without a deal for next season.
Broad is understood to be in the sights of the Suns, with Edmund revealing there is some interest in the 27-year-old.
“Nathan Broad remains unsigned at Richmond and he’s been linked to Gold Coast, who have a lukewarm interest.
“They’re not red-hot on him, it’s more lukewarm given what they’ve got in that position.”

Higgins is tradeable for me a decent pick or young player in return.
-

That draft was such a let down, because the Conca pick got leaked early by the RFC website!

Peter Wright
Sam Edmund says: “He is well and truly up for grabs.
“Peter Wright is up for grabs as is Will Brodie at the Gold Coast Suns but there’s no takers there as of yet. I think they fit into that basket on uncertainly over list sizes given their status in the competition.
“Once that picture becomes clearer, I think we’ll hear some suitors”

Need to target a ruck with Soldo out for 12 months and Nank injuries issue and lack of winning taps and CCJ unknown situation even if he stays we're still short.

Nathan Broad (Richmond)
A 27-year-old, 192cm dual premiership defender hungry to play on, but can’t get a gig in Richmond’s senior team at the moment. He remains unsigned beyond this season — and, subsequently, has drawn interest from other clubs. Broad has been linked to the Suns, but it was reported by SEN’s Sam Edmund last week that the Suns had “lukewarm interest” in the backman. With Pearce Hanley retiring and Jarrod Harbrow nearer to the end of his career, Broad’s experience would be handy in defence — although he’s a very different player to Harbrow and Hanley. The Cats are in need of a key defender or two, so they could be an option for Broad.

Todd Goldstein is expected to stay at North Melbourne according to Sam Edmund.

Twitter all a flutter saying Saad wants out of the Bombers
Tom Morris from Fox Footy reporting it as well
-
Essendon defender Adam Saad has told the club he wishes to be traded to Carlton. Sources confirmed that he wanted to cross to Carlton on a five-year deal.
Essendon defender Martin Gleeson is believed to be “more than open” to a move away from Tullamarine after falling out-of-favour with the Bombers in 2020.
Lewis Jetta could be on the outs at West Coast after the speedy midfielder managed only six games in 2020.
Melbourne midfielder Jack Viney has agreed to a new deal with the Demons that will see him remain with the club and not enter free agency.

$800k over 5 years for Saad is something we were never going to offer for a half-back flanker. That's equivalent to Lynch's contract who is a big key forward.
Good luck Carlton dealing with Dodoro. Waits for Dodoro to come out and demand two top 10 picks for Saad :lol.

And he walks out and they get nothing and ends up at Carlton

Joe Daniher has selected Brisbane as the club he wishes to play for in 2021.
Zach Merrett has also made it clear to both the club and his management that he's not overly happy at Essendon.
North Melbourne veteran Shaun Higgins is almost certain to join Geelong, according to Herald Sun reporter Jon Ralph.
Port Adelaide's Ollie Wines has given his strongest indication yet that he’s staying put at the club, despite persistent whispers linking him to Victoria.

I'd go for Merrett... :shh
-
Same BF snout I mentioned in the Markov thread also says we're looking at Charlie Constable but reckons he's more likely to stay at Sleepy Hollow..hope so...with him & Brodie apparently in our sights it sounds like we're just targeting any big bodied mid that we think we can get on the cheap and just for the sake if it ...surely better off just sticking with RCD & Ross, hate to see either of them leave to accommodate those duds.... :thumbsdown
-
Dealing with dopey Dodoro and his ego with a contracted Bomber is a nightmare. He'll ask for something ridiculous like our first pick plus Dusty for Merrett just to appear 'tough' ::) and hold up the whole trade period ::) for other deals we'd be looking at.
Going to be a few Bombers reconsidering now. The like of Shiel and Smith left GWS because Daniher was one of those who convinced them to go to Tullamarine lol.
Sam Edmund just said Merrett is contracted so will probably stay but other clubs will come hunting this time next year when he is out of contract.

Narkle has talent.

Yes , but who go’s as we may need to reduce our list and cap.

Why would we go after Narkle when we are getting Rioli, how many small forwards do we need?
Rumour started by his manager maybe?

Yeah but Rioli - inconsistent as he may be- is our currently only small forward with any real AFL-level talent and match-winning ability... :shh
Btw, Clayton Oliver now being linked to us on the BF trades board.... :shh :shh

Would love Oliver.

Can't see it happening - Melbourne would -rightly- ask for the earth...reckon he'd be just behind Petracca, Gawn and arguably May in order of importance to them.. :shh

Bulldogs midfielder Lachie Hunter has once again been linked with a potential trade exit.
Tim Watson believes Carlton are interested in poaching Collingwood star Jordan De Goey this off-season.
Geelong is “up to its eyeballs” in the chase for Jeremy Cameron, after a disappointing contract offer from his current club GWS.
SEN reports Fremantle are now firmly in the race for Ben Brown, alongside Brisbane, Collingwood, Essendon and St Kilda.
Sam Edmund on SEN - “I’m hearing whispers Devon Smith is one of those ... whispers around him being unsettled and not happy there. Whether that translates to him lodging a trade request is a very long bow to draw at this point, but certainly some unhappiness with him.”
Edmund also said there were whispers forward stars Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti and Jake Stringer were among those frustrated with the club’s wayward 2020 season.

Wil Powell has been approached by multiple clubs to depart this off-season, reports AFL Media.
“He‘s (Powell) a person of interest in the recruiting ranks,” veteran journalist Damian Barrett said on Footy Feed.
“Several clubs have made an approach to him, including North Melbourne, who do need to replace a lot of players on their list. He‘s a person of interest.”

AFL trade wishlists: The ideal off-season targets for every AFL club
October 12, 2020
by BEN WATERWORTH AND DAVID ZITA
FOX SPORTS
RICHMOND
They’ve never relied on clearances during their premiership success of the last three years. Still, it wouldn’t hurt to add a clearance specialist or two to the side to compliment Dion Prestia and Shane Edwards and at least give them first look at kicking goals, which has become all the more important under the 6-6-6 rule. Brad Crouch wouldn’t hurt if the Tigers could afford him. He’s keen for more team success and there’s no better team for that than Richmond at the moment. All other genuine grunt players around him are pretty much tied up. Andrew McGrath is still somehow not recontracted at Essendon even though they’re working towards a new deal. Ultimately, because they’re such a system-based side, they probably need players who are good at one particular role more than they do an all-rounder.
--------
The Giants have also been linked to Tiger Toby Nankervis, however he’s now more likely to stay at Richmond now considering Ivan Soldo’s long-term knee injury.
Gold Coast linked to fringe Tiger Oleg Markov.
He obviously didn’t have the greatest of seasons reputation-wise, but Richmond’s Callum Coleman-Jones could become an important tall and the Swans should keep their eye on him. Contracted until 2021 but who knows what the future holds after his COVID rules breach.
Someone like Bachar Houli would be perfect for the Eagles, but it would be a mighty hard mission trying to get him out of Victoria and Tigerland.

Wow I’m a big fan of Andrew McGrath. It would be excellent to see at Richmond but I think probably too expensive and most probably unrealistic.

Essendon is interested in Jordan De Goey not Carlton - Sam Edmund on SEN.

You can say that again. :shh :rollin

dusty has pretty much dominated and been in our best since the first few years he was drafted.
This guy no one can actually tell me what he has done so far. Glimpses sure much like stringer, but what else?

DeGoeys 2018 campaign was nothing short of amazing. But beyond that?!?!?!? Martin lives up to the hype. He was giving don’t argues in his first season and was igniting the midfield from 2014. 2016 I feel is when he truly hit elite status and has held that mantle ever since.

People were actually comparing him to dusty in the past.
Degoey has only finished top 10 in the pies bnf once and even then he placed eighth.
Dusty has never finished outside the top 10......never not even in his debut season. That includes 2 1st place finishes and 5 top 3 finishes.

Adam Treloar 'not interested' in move to the Suns.
“There’s still been speculation about ... Zach Merrett. But right now, everyone is saying around Zach Merrett that he will stay at Essendon. (But) who knows what can happen in three or four weeks.
The West Australian reported on Monday that Lewis Jetta was “about a 50-50 chance to be retained” for next season by West Coast.
Collingwood will keep the faith with Jaidyn Stephenson, who’ll see out the final year of his contract with the club, according to foxfooty.com.au senior reporter Tom Morris.

Dusty’s value to the team is directly proportionate to his b&f finishes...

Jack Higgins
“I think they may have been a few calls made (by opposition clubs) on this,” SEN’s Sam Edmund reported. “Given his status (not being in the side), definitely calls have been made.” While the Tigers will be keen to hold onto Higgins, their may not be enough room for the goal-sneak.
Brad Crouch (Adelaide)
“Geelong is in the box here,” Edmund said. “They’ve been in touch with him for some time, Richmond has (a little bit of interest), but I don’t think Essendon are in the hunt either. I believe the hold up with this one is relating to the clubs remaining in the finals race.”
Quinton Narkle
“We hear that he wants to move up and live around the Melbourne metropolitan area. We know he’s good friends with Shai Bolton – and I’m not saying he’s going to Richmond – but he’s every chance that he should’ve played more football this year. It will be interesting to see whether he finds a new home next year.”

At least six clubs are interested in out-of-contract Adelaide star Brad Crouch, despite his police run-in that has seen him banned for two games.

In exchange for Adam Saad, Dodoro asked Carlton for one of Charlie Curnow, Harry McKay or Sam Walsh and then when that was knocked back he asked for Carlton’s first pick plus Tom De Koning. All suggestions were given short shrift by Carlton list bosses, who believe their existing first-round draft pick – presently eight – on its own is slightly too much for the talented defender.
Carlton have explored options with Geelong about splitting their first-round pick – Carlton trading their early first-round pick to Geelong for two of the three later first-round picks the Cats have in this year’s draft courtesy of the future picks they received for losing Tim Kelly.
The Blues also have open to them the option of trying to push Saad through the pre-season draft if a trade cannot be achieved with Essendon.

Its pretty funny what the Dildoro try's on. It is leaked very quickly these days though which makes him look like a tool and hence its clear no one has much time for his antics these days. This info was very likely leaked for Saad's manager who would have been sitting in on the talks

Sam Edmund on SEN:
Nathan Broad and Oleg Markov (Richmond)
“Nathan Broad is currently unsigned and considering his options.
“I think this is the moment in his career where if he can get a pay day, he would. But he is wrestling between the ongoing success at Richmond or getting a bit more cash elsewhere.
“I think his camp were a little surprised when Gold Coast changed tact when it emerged, they were more interested in Oleg Markov than Nathan Broad.
“Markov is being tempted by Gold Coast.”
-
Gold Coast is officially no longer interested in Nathan Broad.

The Saints don't have a 2nd or 3rd round pick after their 1st at #15. Their next pick isn't until #58. Unless they trade for a middle round pick or offer a future one, it sounds like they are trying to get another freebie off us with Higgo like they did with Butler last year.
-
As for Dodoro, what him and his ego hold up another trade period for everybody else trying to be the faux tough guy :facepalm. No wonder Essendon is a basketcase.

What's he worth? Bombers would probably pay him more than Brisbane so there's surely a chance they'll try to match/force a trade.
For someone who hasn't had a proper season since 2017 and played just 15 games in the past 3 years because his body continually breaks down, I wouldn't pay more than a 3rd rounder for Daniher.
He's a restricted free agent who wants out of his club for the second year in a row. If Essendon want to keep him for another year and waste a spot on their list then that's their problem. Brisbane hold the upper hand here. Dodoro, of course, is asking the Earth again because he had a chance last year to get a top 10 pick plus something else for Daniher and he knocked it back :wallywink.
If Essendon are offered one of Brisbane's late first rounders (#18 or #19) or they gain a second rounder (early #20s) in compo they should take it and stop wasting everyone's time. The latter would still be a joke given we received just a 3rd rounder in compo for a dual-premiership player who never missed a game in B.Ellis.
-
Although Joe Daniher is a free agent, there is growing expectation the two clubs could be forced to do a trade, if the Bombers matched any deal from the Lions. With a contract of around $600,000 per year, it will likely equate to a selection at the end of the first round, currently Pick 20. However, with the Bombers likely to want more than that selection for Daniher, the Lions would need to give a better trade offer if a free agency bid is matched.

According to Tom Browne on Ch7:

Mitch Cleary on ABC radio was asked just now if Richmond would seek another ruckman with Soldo out for a year?
Cleary replied that Richmond have the suspended Coleman-Jones and we rate him highly. But they probably do need another ruckman. Will they be interested in someone like Peter Wright? Suns will pay some of his salary to get him off their books.
-
Peter Wright doesn't want to ruck that's the issue.Better get a 1 year rookie like Abbott who got delisted from saints for a backup or a wafl or sanfl prospect.
-
Given that we had to play a SF this series CCJ will only miss 3-4 games of 2021.
Nank ruck.
Chol backup.
Balta/Astbury as 2nd ruck to give Nank a chop out.
Then CCJ is back after 3 weeks.
No need to make a big trade target out of it considering all the above. Get a DFA/rookie etc.
-
Not the worst idea if we can get him on the relative cheap (and sort out his "issues")...can't see it happening though and would be surprised if it's even true (if it is it might be a clue as to whether we plan on keeping CCJ or not):

BRAD CROUCH (Free agent)
He’s seemed set to leave Adelaide for some time - the Crows will be happy to let him walk if he’s going to sign a large enough deal that they’ll get a first-round compensation pick, because that would be Pick 2. But it’s unclear exactly where he’ll go. Geelong has been the leading contender but now they’re in line to get Jeremy Cameron as well as Shaun Higgins, and potentially Isaac Smith as a free agent. They surely can’t all fit into the Cats’ salary cap which could leave Crouch with one less option. The early morning incident where he and teammate Tyson Stengle were caught with cocaine wasn’t ideal timing either. Don’t count out Port Adelaide, and Richmond was named as a dark horse contender a few weeks ago, though they wouldn’t be paying as much. Geelong still makes the most sense, especially if they miss out on one of the other players they’ve been linked to, or trade out players and gain some cap room in the Cameron deal.

Leaked emails have revealed how the AFL will determine free agency compensation
Herald-Sun
23 October 2020
A leaked email has revealed how the AFL determines its compensation picks for departed free agency, the memo delivering a warning clubs not to expect bumper dividends from their departed stars.
The AFL has warned clubs they should not expect to be fully compensated for the departure of their superstar free agents.
In an email seen by the Herald Sun, the league has made clear clubs should not expect entirely equivalent returns for any player which exercises their free agency rights after eight years’ service.
The document also details how the AFL determines the compensation picks based on free agents’ new salaries and their age.
However, there is an “expert committee” which reviews all pick outcomes and can recommend changes to the league’s general counsel in the event of an “anomalous result”.
Greater Western Sydney is slated to receive pick No.10 as compensation for Jeremy Cameron’s move to Geelong — if they do not match the Cats bid under the free agency model — but the Giants are determined to force a trade to secure a more attractive outcome.
Likewise Essendon (Joe Daniher) and Adelaide (Brad Crouch) want first-round compensation picks for their departing stars, but may have to settle for end-of-first round selection picks.
Crouch’s new salary at St Kilda will be significantly less than $700,000 a year, it was confirmed on Thursday.
But the AFL told clubs this week they should not expect bumper compensation pick returns for free agents.
The AFL memo said the compensation formula was “NOT DESIGNED to fully compensate a club for the loss of a player”.
Instead, the league advised the picks were designed to “reflect the relative values of various players to one another” after eight or more years of service to one club.
The scene is set for tense talks between clubs as the Cats have no plans to give up any of their three first-round picks to GWS in a trade.
Cats’ pair Esava Ratugolea and Brandan Parfitt are also off the trade table, their managers have confirmed.
In the AFL document, the league detailed the five bands which determine the compensation picks, based on the “age of player” and their “average guaranteed payments – base plus ASA (additional service agreements)”.
Players must be in the top-five per cent of earners for their age bracket to trigger first-round compensation.
Top 15 per cent of the pay scale triggers an end-of-first-round pick. Top 30 per cent is a second-round selection.
Top 50 per cent is an end-of-second-round pick. Top 70 per cent is third-round.

So Ablett was clearly a joke?

This formula only applies to 17 clubs. Geelolng via their AFL agents in SHocking and Shifty Sheehan get an automatic upgrade to the next band - see Ablett and Fatlop

Port Adelaide interested in Swan Allir Allir.
Zach Merrett will be at Essendon in 2021.
Essendon forward Orazio Fantasia is expected to nominate Port Adelaide as his club of choice this week.
St Kilda and Adelaide struck an agreement as part of Brad Crouch’s decision to join the Saints in free agency. That deal will see the Crows take on a pair of Saints players (Jimmy Webster & Luke Dunstan) to give salary cap relief and allow St Kilda to pay Crouch enough to grant Adelaide top-bracket compensation (pick 2).
St KILDA is weighing up whether to throw another lifeline to delisted Essendon tall Shaun McKernan.

Would defs take a punt on hogan. Trade and salary wise wouldn’t cost much, seems like a low risk high reward situation.
Agreed- let him learn our style on and off the ground during 2021 in preparation for Jack post 2021.

GWS to ask the question to sound Jesse Hogan out and whether he'd be interested in coming over east.
Melbourne are the frontrunners for Hawk Isaac Smith.
Collingwood want Adam Treloar to make the first move and they desperately want this contract off the books.
Clayton Oliver now stays at Melbourne.

TIGER JACK HIGGINS ‘TOLD HE COULD BE TRADED’
SHOULD THE BLUES GO AFTER "GETTABLE" TIGERS SMALL FORWARD JACK HIGGINS?
BY SEN
26 October 2020
Richmond small forward Jack Higgins fell off the map towards the end of the 2020 season.
The 21-year-old didn’t feature for the Tigers after Round 15, despite being a regular part of the team for the first half of the year.
SEN Chief Reporter Sammy Edmund believes Higgins could find himself on the trade table next week.
“Jack Higgins, definitely gettable is the term we throw around at this time of the year, he has been told there’s a chance that he will be traded. He’s got one year to go (on his contract),” Edmund said.
Brownlow Medallist Adam Cooney believes Higgins would be a perfect fit for Carlton.
“He’s one that would slot into that Carlton forward six really well,” Cooney told AFL Trade Radio.
“We spoke earlier about Alex Sexton, I’m not sure he’s the type of player Carlton needs in their forward line.
“I’d love to get Jack Higgins if I was a Carlton supporter. He’s a pressure player, kicks mercurial goals and just tackles and harasses and that’s what they need down there at the feet of those big boys.”
Carlton has been actively seeking a small forward for a while, missing out on Tom Papley in the 2019 trade period.
At 21, Higgins would provide the Blues a long-term solution at the position.
The Tigers meanwhile have a plethora of depth at the position, including the likes of Shai Bolton, Jason Castagna, Jake Aarts and Daniel Rioli.

Jesse Hogan is in the class of Brendon Fevola, damaged goods who will drag a club down.
Big pass.
-
Tom Morris reporting that the Pies have indicated Treloar no longer a required player at the Pies
-
We dont need Hogan. Higgins leaving is fine because he is eadily replaced. Pickett leaving is fine too because he is easily replaced too.
I hope we do a deal to go ip in the draft to pick up Will Phillips if we can. Phillips Rioli and a tall forward would be a good draft.
-
Treloar apparently on a $900k/year back-ended deal.
Fmd what a joke.
Don't mind if we trade Higgins. Pickett I heard is staying at RFC for 2 years.
Hogan I have strong reservations about unless he is dirt cheap to trade/pay.
-
Serves Collingwood right. Theyve botched their chance. Buckley will never win a flag.
-
LOL what did Treloar do, crap on Eddies desk?
He was a good player, wtf did they do to him?
-
Wouldn’t it be funny if Treloar somehow was able to come to us and get a premiership and where he felt loved and wanted. :rollin
-
Im open to Hogan if he comes relatively cheap.
Only 25. His ceiling is very high.
-
I am all in on Jesse Hogan, the guy can play. If we get him for a late 2nd or 3rd rounder he is worth the risk.
-
LOL what did Treloar do, crap on Eddies desk?
He was a good player, wtf did they do to him?
I think he refused to crap on Eddie’s coffee table

Never thought this joker could top his brilliant plan from years ago to trade Riewoldt to GWS for high picks and then get him back when we were in our window...but by jingo he's given it a fair crack here:

Jack Higgins (Richmond)
“I’m more inclined to think he could head to Carlton but I’m only speculating there,” Sam Edmund said on SEN's Whateley.
“He’s very much been told he’s a chance to be traded, he has a year to run on that contract and I think he’d be a great pick up for Carlton considering their obvious desire to land a small forward at the other end of the age spectrum to Eddie Betts."

GOLD COAST RENEW INTEREST IN THREE-TIME RICHMOND PREMIERSHIP DEFENDER
BY Sam Edmund
SEN
27 October 2020
Gold Coast has a renewed interest in Richmond defender Nathan Broad.
The Suns had cooled on the triple premiership backman, who remains unsigned for next season.
Broad’s uncontracted defensive colleague Oleg Markov, who was again overlooked for much of the season, had become Gold Coast’s priority.
But it’s understood the Suns have had a change of heart and are again knocking for Broad, who has former teammate Brandon Ellis at the Queensland club.
It’s understood the Suns would only take one of Broad or Markov.
Broad, 27, has played 69 games for Richmond since being taken with pick 67 in the 2015 national draft.
He has been a dependable regular in Damien Hardwick’s side since playing the last 10 games in the Tigers’ 2017 premiership season.
But the Suns will not overpay for a player who may want a decent pay rise after taking less at a strong Richmond side.

Who better to turn around Jesse Hogan than Richmond? Murmurs from those linked to Purple in WA that Tigers are taking a look. @7AFL
Hogan suited to playing higher, Lynch deep ... the long term Richmond forward set up post Jack Riewoldt? Nice year or so to set up transition. @7AFL
https://twitter.com/Stevo7AFL
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Talks this week for Jesse Hogan about whether he is officially up for trade. Talk of a Richmond offer utterly denied despite rumours all weekend. Swans the only club to actually ask Freo on him. Jordan Clark wants to stay at the Cats, Cats want to keep him

If Josh Dunkley wants to move, why don't we make a play?
Would this be a good idea?

Let's face it, even the media don't know what is happening. I still can't believe they talk about this crap for 10 hours a day for 3 weeks.
God I love winning premierships.

Outside of him being contracted and the Dogs won't trade him
If they were to trade for him, they'd want an earlier first round pick (top 5) and we don't have one
As for players, they'd want one of our guns

Ch7 & Ch10 news also now saying we're interested in Hogan.
Clint Stanaway on Ch9 though doesn't believe we are and said it's Sydney who are interested.

Tiger Higgins considers next move
Michael Gleeson
The Age
October 28, 2020
One of Richmond's most loved players, small forward Jack Higgins, is stuck in a quandary of whether to stay or go.
He is contracted and wants to stay at Richmond but he also wants to play senior football. Late this year he wasn't doing that and he is considering what he does now. Does he try to go somewhere he is more likely to play regular senior footy or does he stay?
Richmond's view is they do not want to lose the popular player who has also come through the hardship of a serious brain injury. They are also sympathetic to his situation and desire to play but are also open to the idea of a trade.
St Kilda would potentially be among clubs interested depending on the cost of the contract and the cost in trade terms but they would firstly be interested in what happens with Jack Lonie who has been offered a one-year deal to remain at Moorabbin but accept if he can get a better longer term deal elsewhere they are open to him exploring it.

Need to get something decent for Higgins. Can't afford another Butler bend over the barrel situation.
If Dunkley is even somewhat gettable I am keen as. Great inside mid. Get something from Saints that can forward on to Dogs.
-

I see Saints have picks 15 and 58.
58 ain't gonna get it done so it's 15 for Higgins + pick/steak knife.
-
Lol
As if we would get 15 for Higgins and steak knives
-
Lol
As if we would get 15 for Higgins and steak knives
Either that or they need to trade for a better pick. But we sure as hell shouldn't let him go for 58 like we did Butler.
We have great depth and for the longevity of our list we need to stop giving away fringe players for essentially nothing.
Same with Broad and Markov. I would rather keep them as I see Houli finishing up soon.
-
There is always next year's first
-
Higgins and Broad will be the ones traded. Markov will stay and take over from Houli next year and Broad is surplus to requirements with Balta, Grimes and Astbury likely to be playing back.
Higgins doesn't have the pace or skill to fit in with our game plan as a small forward.
-
Sam Edmund on SEN just said it's true that Richmond are interested in Hogan. He is still only around 25 and would be a replacement for Riewoldt who only has 1-2 years left.
-
Hogan?
FWIR he can’t kick?
-
Sam Edmund on SEN just said it's true that Richmond are interested in Hogan. He is still only around 25 and would be a replacement for Riewoldt who only has 1-2 years left.
As in a bad replacement
-
If he is the right price I would take home. Took Rance to town a few times
-
Matt Rendell on SEN just said Hogan was a key defender in his junior days and that is where he would play him. Team Hogan up with Balta in future years given Grimes and Astbury will be both 30 next year.
Edit: Rendell has now said Hogan to GWS is a fait accompli to replace Jeremy Cameron.
-
I would play him in the VFL
-
Yeo apparently not happy at the Coolers.... :shh

X2
Wing sorted.
First round pick. We have WA blokes too for steak knives. Pickett and Broad.
-
Realistically Yeo will not be leaving WCE under any circumstances, however, if there is any semblance of truth to this, I think the club goes ALL IN on him.
He is an out and out GUN of a player and the Eagles were definitely disadvantaged with him being injured in the back half of the season.
The Eagles would demand something completely unrealistic for him, but sometimes you just have to try and make these trades work. Richmond is THE destination club and and would be as big of a recruit to come to the tigers as Tom Lynch.
As unrealistic as this is, geez, the thought of having Yeo in the starting lineup is tantalising.
-
Yeo is signed until the end of 2023.
WCE do not let prime 27y.o dual AA and dual B&F's midfielders walk out the door without a reason, particularly when the player is from WA.
-
Txt to Whateley on SEN: Paddy Cripps to Richmond to replace a retiring Cotchin.

Geelong lose Ablett and Taylor and pick up Cameron, Higgins and Smith.
Taylor out of their backline is a loss for them. Can he be replaced? Not from the three ins.
Cameron will allow Dangerfield to play predominately midfield. Hawkins has a season out of the box.
Higgins takes Ablett's place and they get some more run from Smith
They should be improved but not hugely.
No problem if they are anointed favourites for the 2021 season. We do not usually do well carrying the favourites tag

They are one step below Carlton in their culture and Carlton is the pond scum of the AFL.

Collingwood is open to parting with young forward Jaidyn Stephenson during the upcoming trade period, according to AFL Media's Damian Barrett.
GWS defender Aidan Corr has officially received an offer to join North Melbourne as a restricted free agent.

Hawthorn will receive a third-round compensation pick, current Pick No.42, in return for Isaac Smith’s departure.

None of the 3 ins solves Geelong's ruck problem which has been their problem since Ottens retired. Stanley was shown up by Nank and Balta in the 2nd half of the Granny. Blicavs will now have to be moved back in defence to replace Taylor so they either have no 2nd ruck or have Henderson as their only key defender.

Who cares about Geelong. They seem so desperate

Joe Daniher officially a Lion.

How do they get a first round compensation pick for this prancing pony, can’t get on the paddock and when he does he fails to contribute.
-
The whole compensation system is open to corruption and bias
There is no equity in the system and it rewards under achievement
There are no known rules , it’s like a secret Socialist society ( the rich take , give to poor achievers penalise the others)
All these pick push outs down, our pick will be worth a late second round pick by the time they finish with all their deceit
-
The afl is rewarding teams who have been poor full stop while teams successful are being compromised.
Williams is not worth a pick 10
Pick 7 for dons for a injury prone player while Franklin.net hawks pick 19 lol
Corr a pick 30 we loose a double premiership player for a late pick
We're is the media and Damo harking up now.

From Barrett's Sliding Doors column:

Re: Essendon / Josh Dunkley. I’m getting renewed indications it will happen for a first round pick. I’m not willing to second guess the dogs, they seem steadfast it’s not on. But ive been told again Dunkley wants to go, and has told the dogs, including the coach.
I think you can mark down Jesse Hogan / GWS. That’s again the messages I’m getting overnight
Get impression cats don’t believe there is much in Sam Menegola moving. They haven’t heard anything. And he is contracted. No doubt he deserves extra money as part of any extended deal. An incredible season.

GWS have just tweeted that Hogan has nominated them.

“Ben Brown has chosen Melbourne. The Dees have met with him, done a medical, and he will request the trade.” - SEN's Sam Edmund told AFL Trade Radio.
Jesse Hogan will be traded to GWS when trade period opens. The details are set to be revealed over coming days, with a third round selection likely to be involved in the process. The Giants currently hold Pick 44 and 51 at the 2020 national draft.
GWS have made AFL history, becoming the first club to officially match a rival team’s bid on a restricted free agent, forcing the Cats to head to the trade table to try and secure Jeremy Cameron.
St Kilda and Adelaide are set to be at a stalemate over Brad Crouch after it was revealed the Crows wouldn’t receive first-band compensation from the AFL.
Essendon interested in the Suns Peter Wright.

Q. Hi David, just wondering what the Premiers will be up to this trade period, any murmurings about possibly another ruck/forward or do they blood CCJ after the 10 week suspension is done?
A. They were a sneaky chance for Hogan but think he is likely to sign with the Giants now. Think their main priority is re-signing depth players. Think they back in CCJ.

Witherden would suit our gameplan IMV. He is an interceptor and Dimma likes longer kickers from the defensive half when you think of Short & Balta who can kick over an opposition zone and allow us out the back goals.

Just pee off compo or reveal the formula/cheating/favouritism.
-
Reveal the formula and everyone will be cheating the system. Just make compo end of 1st, 2nd and 3rd round only. Three bands of compo not five.

Good idea but how do you classify a free agent as 1st or 2nd or 3rd??

Yep, just get rid of the compo system
Only FA in the world that offers draft compo
AFL Free Agency is shambles
Should be simple; like most other sports; which is
* Nil Compo
* Contracted players can be traded by their clubs to whatever club they like, players get no say.
* Only exception is if a player has a no trade clause in their contract
Under the AFL FA & Trade system players have far to much control

Jesse Hogan has been traded to GWS for pick 55.

Pick that deep in the draft with minimal junior footy to make an assessment on...would be a real hard task finding someone who can play well.

Maybe at that trade price it means GWS are covering his entire salary. I was all for going for him but based on a low risk high reward model. But if you have to cover his whole salary on a multi year deal, it might be a bit too risky for the club. Also he’s probably better served in Sydney than the footy mad vic especially at a massive club like Richmond.

Good question. I think about this a lot as well. Like why did Shiel and Goddard go there previously? My guess is they somehow still have the allure of the 80s/90s dominance and they still hang their hat on the Sheedy era. And people still buy into the hype?

Unless they want an established player in return I would not be knocking back two first round picks. You can trade those for an established player if need be.

2 first rounders plenty as long as they are the Cats first 2. They will then have picks 10, 11, 13,15 plus another (probably next years first from Bombers) for Caldwell plus 23 for Hately.
They could trade 10/11 plus another later one to Kangaroos for pick 2
They could also try to trade down with the other picks for another inside 10

Well there may be more to come as the AFL considers a second exchange window.

Here's the AFL website article:
We say: Markov was a depth player who wanted opportunities, so the Tigers would not have been too concerned about his exit. But Higgins' departure isn't ideal for them. The hard-working midfielder/forward was squeezed out of the senior side this season, but had a year to go on his contract and was a first-round pick three years ago. Ideally for Richmond he'd still be at Punt Road next year, but they did move a few spots up the order into the first round. Richmond didn't add to its premiership squad. - Callum Twomey

And now there is a petition started by Collingwood members with more than 400 signatures by Friday evening, pushing for an urgent general meeting to force the board to provide answers for its decisions.
The petition calls the trade period a “dark day” in the club’s history and has had a “destructive and soul destroying” effect on its members.
“Our club is spiralling into shocking territory,” it says.
“Bad press, salary cap issues. From the top the president and board must answer serious questions. They have treated members and supporters with no respect.”
Meanwhile, another group of Pies fans arrived at the Holden Centre on Friday night, waving banners in support of the departed Treloar and Stephenson.
Some of the banners read “The weet bix kid Stevo our No.1 rising star” and “I roar for Treloar”.

Poor planing and poor management and then to pretend otherwise is Collingwood arrogance at it’s best

They landed their big brown mullet this year

Speaking on SEN radio, Buckley was directly asked if he had "actively" driven players out of the club.
"Yes, we had to. The conversations were pretty short and sharp, and for a varying number of reasons. Some were inside their control and others had absolutely nothing to do with those individuals," Buckley said.
"It's been on the cards for probably the past three or four years. We nearly won the title in '18, we were around the mark and contending, we decided to keep the group together for as much as possible, and that required us – or the list manager and footy manager – to push back these cap issues for right or for wrong.
"There are a lot of things which have come to pass over the last 24 months that have brought these decisions forward, and we thought this was the time we needed to stop pushing our pain into the future and take it all in one gulp now."

We need to sign up Grimes and Vlaustin ASAP.
Edwards, Astbury, Riewoldt etc shouldn't go anywhere else being in their 30s now.

There’d be no way grimes and Vlastuin would leave. Surely!!!!
