Before everyone gets too excited, we were going to use our last pick to upgrade a rookie regardless so it would not have mattered if that was pick 40 or pick 120. I think we did particularly well in this trade period.

Blair Hartley has ruled out Fev - "We have not considered Brendan as a part of our plans. We have not even contemplated it. "



Why did we let Morton go for so little?
   
Each club is required to make 3 changes to its list, and coming into the final day Mitch was going to be delisted if not traded. Sydney were the only club who showed interest in trading for Mitch and through the dealing with his management Paul Connors we came to an arrangement to trade for pick 79. While we would have liked more, we were happy to accommodate Mitch continuing his career after exploring all opportunities elsewhere.

I understand the reason behind it but I'm still disappointed in the trade.

I think it shows a lack of self respect.

Huh? It was that or be delisted! If anything we helped him out in finding another clud where he can get settled into immediately rather than wait a month and wonder where the hell he might end up.

No, I mean lack of self respect from the club.

Why do a trade where one of your players is basically given away, and help your opposition just to be able to put on the Gary Goodbloke hat?

Morton could be the difference between Sydney winning games or not that have a direct impact on our ladder position next year. It could also have an impact on the draft and pre season drafts. Why make things easier for Sydney?

If it was a long serving player a la King from Geelong to St Kilda then you might give them a break but let's face it Morton's legacy to Richmond is squat.

T Roo, if Sydney let him play his natural game he may well go nuts, but if they need him to play the team game then I doubt he'll get to far, his defensive side stinks and considering he has had two years to work on it I can't see it happening. Good luck to him either way ;)

Happy with that - will free up a PSD spot for any left overs or young talent that earns a spot in the training sessions.
Has to cut Mitch loose and this is fair & equitable to trade him to Pick-a-Parts the best recycling business in town.

RFCO's post on BF:

"The Morton trade was a win for both parties. If there are footy gods, we did them right by getting him to his club of choice/the only one that was interested and not putting him through the uncertainty of PSD/ND."
