How did you rate our trade week?

[Ramps]

Summary

Raines for 44
Schulz for Farmer + 72

= 4/10

still 30 minutes to go.

If we can organise a last minute trade for any of Pattison, Tuck or McMahon it becomes

= 7/10

4 out of 10... bit harsh
Two very fringe players gone for some compensation, better than nothing...
We aren't trading high picks and our tradable players arent worth much!
We didn't make a mess of this trade week- he says with 20 minutes to go.
7/10 in my opinion

If we cant get rid of atleast 1 more by 2pm Id think this week would be considered a failure. Just my opinion.

What because clubs are smart and aren't even willing for our crap players.  Not our fault.

Problem is just about every trade week that I can remember has been a massive fail. This week hasnt been a massive failure, just a middle of the road failure. Still hoping for a last minute trade- not likely. I think the result has been disappointing if that is the case.

WE've hung onto our draft picks and swept out a couple of duds.

The other duds are clearly unmovable and we have to delist them or hold onto their contract.  The delisting reflects their value, the contracts reflect incompetency in agreeing to terms to average players for three years.  That's shouldn't be a reflection on our trade week but decisions prior to that.

thats ok and I understand all that. but as a Richmond member I want to see my club do well. I cant remember the last time trade week went well. Its going to be a very long 3 or 4 years coming up. Effectively we only have 1 seriously good pick (3) one pick that is fairly good (19) the rest 35, 44 etc ... I dont see our supporters having much hope for the future.

Geelong only lost Mumford and there trade period could be considered a massive success for a club that just won the flag.

As for us I really fear for our membership levels and finances going forward. There is a lack of hope that has surrounded the club. It could become very bleak indeed.


Final Appraisal: 4/10

[wayne]

I thought it was ok.

Would have liked to have seen Patto, Tuck and McMuffin traded.

We still have 3 and 19, if Wallet and Miller were still in charge, we'd have Fev and our first pick would be 35.

[harry bosch]

7/10 , as others happy we kept our picks and slightly improved our draft position and got another kid..

would have been nice to get another mid draft pick for someone like tuck but can't blame the club for other clubs not wanting our junk..

But we don't have Mumford.  We don't have players that we can give for an early draft pick.  We aren't Geelong.  
You can't compare Geelong and our list.
There is a reason the Kangas, Melbourne and Richmond couldn't do much this week.  We just don't have the substance.  We have to get it through the draft.
Now we just wait and hope.

I think we did ok, didnt take discards ( Hardwick should know Farmer!) and picked up two picks for fringe players or players that didnt fit the plan - 6/10

[WA Tiger]

3-4/10 but thats where we are at with our tradable players at the moment, we are in for some lean years IMO, perhaps two more years before we start seeing a club/team evlove and then a further 1-2 years before finals IMO.

[TigerLand]

Can't create Wine out of Water.

Offloaded two players that have had 2-3 bad consecutive years for pick 44 and 72 plus a young kid apparently worth about a 2nd or 3rd round.

If we wanted another high pick in a weak draft we'd have to have traded something of worth to other clubs ie: Foley, Tambling, McGuane, Newman maybe. Our tradable players weren't even blinked at.

Guys like Joel McDonald and Nikoski were left alone, can't expect McMahon, Patison and JON to be picked up before them

[FooffooValve]

With all our retirements and delistings, we probably couldn't have done too much more. If we were trying to offload Tuck, it would have been for an under 30 pick, and clearly nobody was listening. Them's the breaks.

Probably not the draft to be using picks in the 70s, but on the plus side, we'll have a lot of young kids coming through together.

[Francois Jackson]

i rate this week a 3/10.

Those 3 points come from the delisting/trading of Patto, Schulz and the final point for holding onto the picks.

I dont see the recruit of Farmer a success and especially after seeing how smart Choc played this week, i would think this guy is another dude that Port were happy to get rid of.

I agree whoever said it above you cant make wine from water. We have poo players people. Who in their right mind would want any of our hacks.

The biggest mistake made this week was Andrew Raines. We should have waited till 1.45pm today to lodge that poo.

The Lions were desperate this trade week and that pick inside 20 they got for Fev could have been ours if we were patient.
