IMO they are annoyed with what Craig did with that Tambling trade and are now trying to get one back at us.

Just my opinion but it certainly looks that way

Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.

Longer this deal doesn't get done the better, hope we get him for nothing in the PSD, Crows don't deserve any of our picks.

Trade week radio said Freo's Jonathan Griffin was expecting Richmond to contact him but we've had no interest in him. So clearly Maric is coming to Punt Rd.

Griffin is a better ruckman than Maric why we didnt even approach him is really problematic IMHO.

How do you know we didn't?? How do you know we weren't told he would rather deal with Port because he want to get back to SA??

Griffin is deadset on moving back to Adelaide. His manager is slightly put off we didn't attempt to raise his contract value.  :lol

Why would we be interested in a player that seems to request a trade ever season  :whistle

Griffen would be a far better option than Maric. Notwithstanding the apparent head back to SA tendency.

It's a worry that we dont seem to make the effort to even enquire about possibilities.

We appear to get a fixed initial idea and stick to it rigidly, even if a better option falls into our lap.

FFS.....Just because it's not printed in the media doesn't mean we haven't inquired!!
How do you know we haven't made contact? How do you know we haven't been told "Don't Bother" because he only want's to go back to Adelaide or stay?

I Would be certain our recruiters don't sit there and go " Griffen wants to be traded but I can't be bothered calling his manager to see if he is interested in dealing with us"....... :banghead :banghead :banghead

If you read the interview of Blair Hartley on the clubs website, sounds to me he is well on top of players/clubs preferences and availabilities/openness to trades. If no offer was made it was not made because of the information they gathered.

I don't believe the club is as naive as what some are claiming, they have targeted specific players for a reason. Might have to do with the cost in terms of picks as well. Many reasons behind the scenes as to why we have gone for Maric and not another ruckman, not simply because 'Maric said he wants to come to Richmond, so lets just look at him and him only'.
