The definition of "untouchable" always creates a good discussion.

It depends on the price offered and for mine I only have two players that I wouldn't listen to any talk of trade

Lids
Cotch

These two are young and have the potential to be elite players.

My next too closest would be Riewoldt and Moore as they are young KPP players with potential to be very very good footballers.  Still if the Gold Coast team offered up a few top ten draft picks in exchange I would have to perform due diligence and have a long look at it.

I dont think a team can have 10 untouchables especially if you subscribe to the "trade quality to get quality" theory.
Perhaps that has been one of Richmonds main problems in the past....Too many "over rated " untouchables.
"What if " Richmond had the courage to trade players like Knights,Cambell,Daffy,Gasper when their market value was high.

At the moment only Lids & Cotch are off the table.

I agree with these comments.  The only 2 are the potential blue ribbon mids.  Anyone else can be replaced if the trade is right.  Having said that I would be loath to trade Simmonds at this point unless it was for a like player, and I have discounted Richo because quite frankly, he ain't goin' anywhere!

Foley
Jack
Morton

Apologies to Thursfield, Polo and Hughes whom i believe is the key. We need a Key forward out of the square.

Lids & Cotch are the two most important by a long way.

Foley or Reiwoldt next in line IMO

Not sure if it's the best way to determine a Top 10 but the latest 2009 team swapcards has the following 11 Tigers in the set:

Backs: Newman, Moore

Mids: Cotchin, Cousins, Tuck, Foley

Forwards: Deledio, Richo, Brown, Riewoldt

Ruck: Simmonds
