How did you rate our trade week?

[Rodgerramjet]

We got what we could with what we were prepared to give up.

[Judge Roughneck]

3/10

we still have McMahon

[mightytiges]

5/10.

Barely a pass and that's mainly because we at least didn't trade our picks away for once and we should pick up 6 newbies in the draft.

It really turned out a non event for us. A couple of minor trades but no surprise there as we weren't bolder and didn't offer something more tempting such as Jacko once there was no interest in Tucky.

[Stripes]

I agree with MT - 5/10 because at least we didn't trade away any of our draft picks. Annoying that other clubs such as Melbourne, Essendon and Geelong have such an array of early picks when (excepting the Dees) they had much better years than us and are much further along the rebuilding stage than ourselves. Geelong has shown why they will remain there abouts for many more years to come with their trade period.

The problem is is that that we just don't have any players with trade value that we can afford to lose.

Tuck, McMahon and Patto (if he isn't delisted) will have this hanging over their heads all summer. I hope it acts as a mighty motivational tool for them or, trade or not, they are gone.

Average week for us but perhaps that is just because we are comparing it to teams such as Brisbane???? Hard to be sure.

rofl Richmond have no idea how to trade.
we still got a team of skilless bozo's going nowhere 

[WilliamPowell]

For mine:

A pass for not trading away our first 2 draft picks in 3 & 19 which means we ddin't do a stupid deal like we've done in the past

A pass because we didn't actually lose a pick at all 

A pass as we off loaded 2 players that most people I think would pleased about

A pass because we didn't trade away any of our good players however......

A fail for not being daring (read having enough courage) to try and trade a name player for another 1st round pick

I am not surprised we didn't move anyomre because no-one wanted them

Overall: 5.5/10

[WA Tiger]

Tuck, McMahon and Patto (if he isn't delisted) will have this hanging over their heads all summer. I hope it acts as a mighty motivational tool for them or, trade or not, they are gone.

Stripes

Well not really Stripes, we tried to trade Schulz for years and it didn't affect him.........

[torch]

Good!

we lost No Draft Picks,

we cleaned/cleared out two players,

we have a chance to Draft 5-7 Cubs,

we still have "bad players" on our list which is obivously "bad" but Hardwick could change some into "good players",

Hardwick did say along the lines of "we are starting over",

6/10.

Tuck and McMahon should be moved, but lets just wait and see!

 

[WilliamPowell]

Can I add

I understand that people are disappointed that McMahon is still there but bottom line is no-one wanted him - let's not blame those that there are now for this, they tried to get rid of him

He is here for season 2010 that's all there is to it

But look on the bright side - at least people will have someone to bag automatically rather than having to find someone new 

[Hellenic Tiger]

I agree with most sentiments on here.
We have for the most part a trash list and hence our players won't attract much attention. My most pleasing aspect is for the first time in years or ever we traded away no picks and gained 2 more picks. Sure McMahon could be gone too but hey he will be at rd 22 next year after virtually a season at Coburg. There will be all the the delistings we could have hoped for and we are investing in the draft. Something different. Results may not be great next year but there is hope. We also have pick 2 and we may be able to snare someone of substance for free to enhance our playing group.

[cub]

Nothing to trade - nothing to lose - nothing to gain - Just a stab in the DARK really! "Am I allowed to say that after Hey Hey"  

Man if Schulz fires I'll run naked down Punt Road - Port = our biatchez Rodan hasn't actually been a superstar as some would like to think, Danny Meyer (YEP) who's that others may ask and now the Sarge - LOLCAKES  

[Tigermonk]

maybe Port will take McMahon off our hands next year for thier #1 draft pick 

[the claw]

hmm we traded a chronic underperformer with poor skills for 44.

we traded a contracted 7 yr dud for a young fringe player  cant lose in that deal even if farmer turns out a dud.

and most importantly we managed to trade into a pick and pick up a player to boot  it must be a first. i was worried we would trade away everything as per usual. if nothing else we have had a feeding frenzy of trades where our players were shunned we did well to gain a pick i would give em 8 out of 10 after all you cant make a silk purse out of poo.

[Mr Magic]

Agreed claw.
So refreshing to see us keep our picks & offload a couple of underachievers for more picks.
7.5/10 for me. Would have love to have seen another pick for Tuck.

[one-eyed]

Herald-Sun gave us a "C"

RICHMOND

GAIN: Mitch Farmer. Picks 44, 72

LOSE: Jay Schulz, Andrew Raines

GRADE: C

Couldn't do much, mainly because it had nothing to give. Schulz and Raines won't hurt and the mail is Farmer can go a bit.

DRAFT ORDER: 3, 19, 35, 44, 51, 67, 72, 83, 99
