Players being linked to Richmond - Rumours

[Penelope]

Haven't seen much of Houli. The only time I saw him this year he was very good.

You wonder how much some of those commenting on him have actually seen. There seems to be a lot of people say he's no good, but not too many reasons put forward for this line of thinking.

He did play pretty well that night. It was his first recall for a while but I put a big red line through his name after seeing him the following week. Absolutely terrible , not up to it and was rightly dropped again straight away.
I believe we're a better team atm than Essendon so why go after blokes who can't get a game for an inferior team ?

[eliminator]

prefer draft picks than trades. Essendon have recruited very poorly in recent times. Don't want any of their players. Don't want Miller.

Port have been a better team than us for years but they picked up Sarge and D Rod who were struggling with us. They happen to be good players now. I'm not advocating picking up Houli, but maybe the guy hasn't been treated fairly at Essendon and has been poorly developed? Don't know much about him so I'm happy to wait and see what happens.

Schulz is not a good player now.

He may turn out that way but not yet after just half a season

[Coach]

Fair call, Chuck. I'd say that he's well on his to being a good player after getting a lot of games at Full Forward in the 2nd half the year and ripping apart a few matches. 35 goals in 16 games is a decent effort.

[Tigermonk]

Schulz will be taken over by John Butcher next season.

[Penelope]

Back problems = bad news.
If he overcomes that and makes the grade it will be a huge effort.

[Hellenic Tiger]

Use the draft picks for kids trade players for draft picks that is what I want.

[Coach]

Schulz will be taken over by John Butcher next season.

Butcher has been playing SANFL twos all year. Still has a while to go before he comes their #1 forward you'd think.

Have to agree with TB actually, in all honesty will there be any players worth trading picks for with the GC taking the best available? I think this year is the year to get as many picks as we can. Last year was the year to get some experience to the club IMO and we didn't. Picks and more picks is the go.

Yep, have to agree- this upcoming draft is said to be a very good one- lets participate as fully as we can!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wasn't aware it is a very good draft, so even more the reason then, like you said, to participate as fully as we can.

[Infamy]

Would have no problem with getting Houli if he came for cheap
Remember he was only ever coached by Knights and showed plenty of talent in his first year

[wayne]

Houli is crap ! Why would we go after that dud ?  Thought Dimma said no more shortcuts ?

we're getting Fev too, Houli is going to turn him musi and get him off the drink, i think we're getting Choc Mundine too 

This is true, Fev has lodged an application to be known as Mohammed Fevola.
