Raines has asked to be traded

[mightytiges]

If the Lions are willing to offer Rainesy a 3 year deal  then they must rate him highly. Their 2nd rounder is looking a strong possibility now if that's true.

if they are that dumb to offer him a 3 year deal then why wouldn't we start with their first pick and go from there. Aim high. They took that dud Travis  Johnson for what pick 14 so you never know.

Yep there's no harm in demanding a first round pick (the Eagles wanted one for Seaby last year ) and I wouldn't say no  . However Brisbane's first pick is #9. I can't see them being that stupid to give away a top 10 pick. Their second pick #28 seems a more realistic target.

If the Lions are to offload Charman and get an earlier pick than #28 for him in some other trade not involving us then we could always target that pick. This year clubs seem to be keen to trade for players given the compromised draft so we need to keep our ears open and swoop in if any early pick is genuinely on offer.

there is heaps of talent in the draft. Raines willnot attract anything below Pick 45. His got no value

Disagree TMonk - people in the footy industry (for reasons I cannot explain) rate him. Maybe his surname has something to do with it

If Brisbane lose this week to the Dogs they will finish sixth.
Leaves us with pick 28. As I have said before hopefully Brisbane part company with it for Raines and we invest that pick 28 into the draft.

Hope you're talking him up WP and not saying anything to discourage that perception.  Pick #9 here we come. Maybe 2 first rounders?

Like to see how they can rate him when his been broken down & no form for the last 3 years.
1 season wonder who molded his playing style off his father.
Problem is his been molded to play the style of football that went out in the 80's & is why he gets rundown & football is too quick for his kind of thinking 


As for his name, His father was more interested in money than being a clubman & was not as good as he thought he was. Thats why he played for many clubs & not 1. 
He expects Richmond to look after his son better, but he turned his back on us after 1982 with Cloke.
If l was Richmond, l would make sure he dont get to where he wants to go  for what they said we left him rotting. His rotting cause his only a VFL player these days otherwise he be playing AFL. McMahon is getting a game before him so that saying something 

WP l hope we do get something good for him.  cause we put up with watching him

I would be stoked with pick #28 for Raines - it's the absolute maximum value of his worth - over the odds by a long way in all truthfulness.

If West Coast want a 2nd rounder for Seaby, there is no reason why we can't ask for one for Raines.

Was Seaby ever a Rising Star runner up!??!

Disgruntled Tigers defender Andrew Raines will attempt to kick-start his career in Brisbane later this year.

The first trade deal on October 5 will be between Richmond and Brisbane, which has agreed to exchange a third-round national draft selection for Raines, 23, who has not played for the Tigers since round nine. A spate of injuries and a lack of form has contributed to Raines playing just five games over the past two seasons, after he did not miss a senior game in 2006 and 2007.

Lions coach Michael Voss has given his blessing for the exchange involving Raines.

Pick 44 in the end.

A fair deal to both parties - probably why it was done so quickly and easily.

[WilliamPowell]

Whatever, would have liked their 2nd rounder or a player and thier 3rd rounder but if it means he goes then BYE

[jezza]

Happy enough - good to get it sorted nice and early.

[Chuck17]

I'm impressed we have actually traded a player for a draft pick.

Hooray Hooray

Just out of interest can any of you internet rats list the last say 10 pick 44's.
