Speaking of key defenders that could end up on the market, on the Footy Show last night Barrett was claiming Ben Reid is worth $400k p.a. and could be the one squeezed out of the Pies after they do deals with Cloke, Beams, etc. That's not that far away from McGuane's rumoured contract ($300-350k p.a over 3 years) IIRC according to Jack  ;D.

I would have Reid as a No1 target if he was available. If he did become available then $500,000-$550,000 per year should be the offer, thats the type of figure the Pies would find almost impossible to put in their cap. I would also be looking at Caddy, he wants Essendon but Essendon dont have anything to bargain with. We have the compo pick and our 1st rounder which will be around the pick 10 mark. We have starting points to a successful trading period.

As good as Caddy is, wouldn't give up our pick 10 plus a compo pick for him. Agree though, would look at him.

No way. Reid plays well on the big guys because he is a good reader of the play and has the defender tools down pat. He only got beaten last Friday because he got moved on to Walker who killed Reid with speed. I reckon sauce is a ripper, but Reid would easily be straight up key back post in our 22. Would be around for yonks too.

Ben Reid isn't coming to Richmond. Gets killed against good forwards anyway.

We should recruit Danyl Pearce and play him at CHB. That should release thunder-thighs Hurley to play ruck, ruck-rover, full-forward and assistant coach.  :thumbsup

No but seriously, Reid is a gun CHB. No question.

Coachy boy done smoked too many billies again.

The loose idiot lost Collingwood their grand final last year. Nick Maxwell is the best HB in the comp. No question.

Ben Reid isn't coming to Richmond. Tarrant and Brown are both better defenders. Even that Keefe bloke :fishing

Chaplin courted by rival clubs

    Jake Niall

FOUR or five clubs, including St Kilda and Richmond, have shown interest in Port Adelaide free agent and key defender Troy Chaplin.

But Port, which has been fending off Geelong's advances on another Victorian, Travis Boak, is in discussions with Chaplin's management about a new contract and is ''pretty confident'' he will stay.

The Tigers are understood to be the strongest suitor for Chaplin, 26, who is a restricted free agent and can seek offers from other clubs which Port has the right to match.

Richmond has been in the market for a mature tall back, having shored up its ruck problem this year by acquiring Ivan Maric from the Crows. Chaplin played one season with Tigers coach Damien Hardwick - his first year at Port was Hardwick's last - while he is also well known to Richmond assistant coach and former teammate Brendon Lade and opposition and list analyst Blair Hartley, who worked for Port previously.

St Kilda, too, has registered an interest with Chaplin's management, the Saints also having a significant weakness at full-back, having lost journeyman Zac Dawson to Fremantle without finding a mature replacement. St Kilda's tight salary cap and substantial contracts have not given it much space to pursue players from rival clubs, though that situation is likely to change in the next couple of years as club greats retire.

Port Adelaide football operations manager Peter Rohde said the Power was in talks with the management of Chaplin, who is originally from Maryborough but said to have settled well in Adelaide.

''We're talking with his management, we're a fair way down the track, but like a lot of free agents, I think there's a little bit of water still to go under the bridge,'' Rohde said.

He said the club was ''pretty confident'' of retaining Chaplin, who has played 138 games, including all 16 this year.

Chaplin is seeking a new deal of at least two years, with the interest from Victorian clubs perhaps improving his bargaining position.
