Richmond makes play for Dom Tyson [revisited?]

[YellowandBlackBlood]

Tigerbob from BF, seems to have good sources. He says that this weekend Tyson could announce publicly that he wants a trade.

Looks like 'bob's' sources aren't so good after all.

Although I agree things look bleak, in reality little has changed since the start of the week!
It seems likely the club made him send out the message and remove the tiger stuff from his favourites.
He isn't in the group of players that signed contract extensions.
He and his family have close Richmond connections.
He is very likely wanting to come home.

We just have to come up with the right deal.  Easier said than done.

To be perfectly honest I can't see the AFL letting this go through regardless. If Dom is allowed to leave it sets a new precedent for all other new Draftees to break contract and leave after one year. The last thing the AFL want is a mass exodus of first year players going home or to clubs of there choice just because they feel like it. At the end of the day the draft is a raffle, all the kids no that before they nominate and simply if they don't like it, don't nominate.
If Dom is desperate to get to us he will so down track but for now he just has to suck it up, have a pee poor season next year so we can get him for next to nix next year

money talks TFT and i believe the only reason they wont deal is because the deal isn't that strong in their eyes.

Thrown in one our best 22 like Nahas and i'm very sure they will be singing a different tune

I don't disagree Dan, just saying I doubt the AFL would let it happen regardless. It was public knowlage that Anthony Rocca never wanted to be a Sydney but still had to sit out his two years there, Caddy last year never got done and it seems what started out to be a very hot rumor regarding Tyson has has a massive amount of cold water poured over it!! It just seems as though the powers to be have stepped in on all of the above

Eff them!
They chose to horde their elite end draft picks instead of trading them out for seasoned players so what more do they expect!

[Francois Jackson]

very true

nothing suprrises me with twinkle toe and his side kick in charge

would be an absolute pleasure watching all these kids go onto another clubs after 2/3 years

[Loui Tufga]

Without a doubt there lists will be pillaged with a bit of luck we will be at forfront

[Mr Magic]

and so they should be pillaged.
Does the AFL think all other clubs in the comp are going to sit back, bend over and watch the new clubs groom these talented kids into a super power within 5 years?

We have secured selection 1 in the 2012 trade incentive mini-draft & will select boom W.A youngster Jack Martin.

------------------------------------------

Our Tyson trade idea was already dead but weren't the Dogs after Jack Martin if they got a mini-draft pick? They'll probably keep hold onto picks 5 & 6 now.

[JVT]

Yup, but from a GWS perspective, is pick 2 better than having picks 5 and 6? Especially considering they have pick 1 already  I'm not so sure it is.
