Players being linked to Richmond - Rumours

[Penelope]

i agree with Daniel. Say No to Houli!

Convince me ramps. I've only seen him play once or twice so my mind is open.

[Willy]

I dont think anybody is opposed to having Knights playing for the tiges.
The real question is, what would we be prepared to give up for him?

Pick 6?

Maguane/Thursty + our second rounder?

Im unsure.

[WA Tiger]

Give up Nahas for Knights, and a very late pick, that would get him, don't think we need to give much up at all, with all the trades goiung on and GC taking everyone teams are just going to have to take what they can get in return. Do we still have pick 2 in the PSD for players that are delisted or want another crack, if so we could get him there too.

[Penelope]

for us to get a quality player in PSD ,there most likely needs to be two quality players in it. Hopefully west coast can convince someoene who wants to go home to WA to nominate, then we would have a great bargaining chip

Knights can kick 4 5 a game ... great for Jack and Griff we should way up who we can get for pick six and Knights

Gee Daniel, with such an insightful appraisal of players surely there is a job awaiting you as a an AFL recruiter.

I must have read dozens of comments, here and elsewhere statinging he is no good and we dont want him at Richmond, but except for one tiger head, the only people to actually give anything resembling an assessment of Houli as a player have been bummer people.

its a deep draft or you dont you pay attention. Whilst our picks wont be as high as previous years lets just stick with he process shall we.

short cuts have got this football club nowhere so lets recruit wisely and search far and wide like Freo with Barlow not washed up hacks like Houli

why is he a washed up hack? What are the knocks on him?

Washed up hack? He was only drafted in 2006
His 2nd & 3rd seasons were pretty good, he gets a lot of the ball and lays plenty of tackles too
I'd hardly call one down season this year when Knights wouldn't play him as a true sign of his value

I'm not saying we should chase him or sell the farm in a trade for him, but he's proved he can cut it at the top level, he just hasn't shown consistency yet.

Calling him a washed up hack is pure falacy

[aetherunknown]

Knights would be a massive pick up for any team. Has a nice blend of class and power.  He can play forward or midfield, has kicked a bag before and loves to run, carry and bomb from outisde 50. Very damaging forward of the centre.
 
Knights' stats for 2009 season are most impressive. He has only managed 5 games this season. Knights (23yo) has had hamstring trouble. He kicked quite a few bags of goals in '09. 

However he reinvented himself as a HF and was sensational with his 55m bomb goals. Kicking it long does not constitute a silky kick. He's field kicking is pretty poor and was taken out of the midfield rotation because of it.

The only two worries would be the asking price and his hamstrings.

The question to ask is would a (fit) Knights on our list makes us a better team?. Knights is possibly someone we should consider.

Houli <-> Polo, McMahon, Nahas

Maybe for Post + their 2nd Rounder.

Wouldn't trade anything else, we're happy where we are going.

[one-eyed]

Rumour has it that Richmond has offered Houli $250k pa to be an outside player.

Rumour also has it that a bonus of $100k will be paid if he plays 22 games.

Rumour also has it that Houli is not a happy chappie at Essington.

Rumour also has it that Houli is keen to take it.

Rumour also has it that he will not go interstate for family reasons.

Rumour also has it that Richardson is in direct contact with Houli and doing his best to keep him at Windy Hill.

Warning... warning.... this is just a rumour.

Sorry Popey, but Post? No we need him here imo! Has WP finally got to you?lol!

[Hellenic Tiger]

If we could trade Polo to the Dons for him and manufacture a pick. Remember Polo was best afield against the Dons in his first game so maybe there may be someone there who still remembers it.

If we could swap Polo for Houli, that would be a great win for us!
