[Phil Mrakov]

Never let the facts get in the way of a mrakov story hey im 21 in juLy

Do you reckon he'll play till he's 31? I don't. As soon as he starts spudding it up he'll be gone.

1-2 seasons max. My guess is delisted after this year. That's my call.

[JVT]

He'll be around in 2014, even if only an insurance option. I think the coaching staff are hopeful that Elton will push him out of the side in 2014, having Riewoldt, Vickery and Elton as our main men up front.

[Ox]

Rewoldt will totally dud out this season.

Lazy prick.

Az was interviewed on Ch 7 news tonight about the night his was arrested for being drunk. He said he thought his career at Richmond was over before it began and he was scared going into facing the coaches and club officials. He copped his right whack which he deserved and since has put his head down and in his view had a good uninterrupted preseason so far.

[one-eyed]

Richmond goalkicking great Matthew Richardson believes former North Melbourne forward Aaron Edwards can have a significant impact in the Tigers’ line-up.

“I think he’ll be a great foil for Jack,” Richardson said.

“He’s a hard-working half-forward, he hits up at the footy, he’s a nice kick, good mark, and he’ll open up space.”

at age 29 its pretty obvious he was taken very much as a short term option. i disagree as long as the process is the correct one. i have one question did we take our fair share of kids in the off season. if yes there is no harm in taking older players even for just a yr or two.

it seems people dont think clubs should targeet short term solutions.
imo we got it the process spot on.
we also went from having just the one medium forward two if you include macdonald who we all knew was gonski a long way out,  to potentially 4 in knights, petterd, edwards, and ohanlon.

with 3 very cheap mature picks that is a f/a pick 74 and a rookie pick  we went from a glaring hole in the list to adequate cover. the process was right in adressing this area this yr.
the one i wanted us to take in 2011 was max duffy as a rookie. we may not have had a need to take an older player if we had done so.

how many picks in the 70s even play a game yet alone come straight in and provide something you dont have. even 1 yr of edwards will give us a better return than 95% of young players taken in the 60s or later.
if we had used a top 50 pick to get him we would have been negligent but we got him for practically nothing.

Just because he fills a hole in your great list structure theory doesn't change the fact the he is a 29 year old reject from North.  Slight upgrade on Miller IMO without the gold looking partner to take the focus off his game.

Wow you actually voice an opinion. Cmon front up and tell us who you stole it off.

Agree clawsy. The club has been pretty open about using him as a short term option whilst the likes of O'Hanlon (who clearly wasn't ready last season) is groomed as a longer term replacement. Even if Aaron only fills a role for us for 12 months and can kick a bunch of handy goals it will have been a successful cheap option for us.

[gerkin greg]

Should have taken Atkins, Hannath or Kyle Martin at that pick

If Edwards can't get a game ahead of McGuane you may well be right.

Neither should be on the list, but if Edwards stops McG playing i suppose that is a small victory

we could have had all three of those players and edwards  just by not renewing player contracts.
