Its Draft and Trade time Again!
« on: September 08, 2013, 06:16:51 PM »
Well the season is over for 2013 and we as usual begin the process at who should come to Tigerland and who should get the arse. So feel free to tell us who the club should get rid off for the club to not only make the finals again in 2014 but to win atleast 1 final next year.

Pity our best 20-odd players all just lost currency.

Need a power forward and a mature/strong midfielder with leadership qualities similar to how EFC picked up Goddard.

Gone for me should be - Matthew Dea, Luke McGuane, Shane Tuck (Ann. Retirement) Robin Nahas, Aaron Edwards, Tom Derrickx, Orren Stephenson (Should sign on for Richmond Reserves team), Ben Darrou (Should sign for Richmond Reserves Team) and Steve Verrier and Sam Lonergan. Thats 10 players straight of the bat.

The players who I would consider trading if the right deal came along would include: Dylan Grimes, Dustin Martin, Shaun Grigg, Shane Edwards, Jake Batchelor, David Astbury, Ben Griffiths, Brad Helbig, Steven Morris, and Ricky Petterd. Thats another 10 right there.

Bit harsh on Morro. Had a stinker but his only one for 2 years, just hurts with the timing. Can't fully blame the deep backs after the rot set in either :banghead. The rest is pretty good depending on what you consider a good deal  ;D (probably not martin though).

I thought you were leaving the club and leaving the forum ? Get lost.

We dont need gutless supporters like you. You're not the only one that's p'ed off, mate.

I now know why he got so cut up when I questioned if he is really a Richmond supporter :lol

some or one silky small fwd, a big strong FF who is a dangerous target and will bring the ball down to advantage when not clunking them

I can't see getting rid of McGaune, he's popular at the club, you'll get nothing of significant value at the trade table and he is another tall that can kick the odd goal.  Sure I would like to develop a better forward than him, so play McBean but you wouldn't dump McGaune until McBean or another can play the role.  He still has a year or two I would guess at 26.

Nahas as much as I like the guy has always had a problem with being so small.  I think this year it has been more obvious and you never know it may be his last.  We may keep him in the 2's as a backup.  The other issue is King is getting older he is 29, so who will replace him.  The most obvious small forward is Edwards or Nahas.  So maybe this draft will look at small forwards, but I would assume they look at midfielders (you can never have enough) and backs(to backup an eternally injured Grimes, a will he wont he Astbury and a Batchelor who hasn't improved as much as I'd have liked).  Finding a Scarlett or Corey Enright would be fantastic but they get developed they don't grow on trees..

You couldn't get rid of Derickx and Stephensen without spending draft resources finding another ruck.  There is no way McBean could ruck next year, he's a beanpole and will be 20+ before he can match it with. So you'd be left with Vickery and Maric and hoping Griffiths could ruck in a pinch.  I suspect Derickx will get the arse unless Stephensen retires and we will recruit one young and possibly one mature ruck as backup.  Its also a possibility Griffiths will get his marching orders.

I'd like to see us land someone with a real winning culture, major leadership qualities and is super hard at the footy.
