Kicked 2 goals and went well. If he can maintain 2 goals per game then that's 44 goals from CHF. That's a very good return for the season proper.

you propose we play one tallfwd riewoldt at 195cm and whos slow   3 ruck/fwds at 200cm and 1 ruckman in ivan. lol it is dramatically a different set up to hawthorns,


Incorrect.

I am saying playing three of them, there is no reason it wont work.

ie.

hf - Cotchin  -  Griffiths/Vickery  -  Martin
ff - McBean  -  Reiwoldt  -  Deledio

ob - Maric  -  Miles  -  Vlastuin/Conca/Foley

McBean is a tantalizing prospect.

With have played 3 (tall) forwards and a ruck before. Infact, there have been occasions where we have played 3 tall forward and two rucks.

If we lose this bloke bc we offered him way less than other clubs you can thank Newman and the brightsparks who re-signed him

I don't agree with this but if he isn't going to ever be played ahead of Vickery and with McBean coming through we may as well trade him while we can get something for him.

his value will go up not down

Don't see why he cannot go past Vickery in say two years , if not sooner

I rate them both , both have upside

As tony said, you can't re-sign Newman and get rid of one of the most talented big men we have had at Richmond for years.  Needs to be coached on how to demand the ball more and his teammates need to honour his leads more often. Huge potential.

Trade Vickery, keep Griffiths.

Agreed. But Ol' Slugger is contracted.
