I think Tyrone would be handy as a trade BUT where does he want to go. The best options for the club are interstate but would he go.

it would be nice to replace him on the list with another ruckman as posted but it makes no sense to have a straight swap of ruck for ruck.

What could work me is to trade Conca back home to West Coast in exchange for one of their rucks - Lycett or Sinclair.
I understand that FJ was very keen on Lycett at the draft and was stymied.
Probably West Coast would not trade away Scott as they see him as the Dean Cox heir but it's worth asking as an opening bid. He's from Ceduna in SA.
Sinclair went from Melbourne to Subiaco and got drafted in 2013 and is still a rookie.  May be surplus to their requirements.
I was a big fan of Lycett pre-draft and thought Sinclair was too old but checking I see he's only 25.
Obviously Richmond would want a sweetener if the trade was Conca for Sinclair.
Conca    22 yo    185cm  83kg  Midfielder   71 games
Lycett    22yo     203cm  103kg  Ruckman  22 games
Sinclair    25yo    200cm  98kg   Ruckman   9 games    ROOKIE LIST

Then you hope that Vickery could be convinced to go to GWS Giants to get one of their young mids - O'Rourke or Shiel - or even one of the key defenders - Jaksch or Frost.
All of those guys are from Melbourne and most have said publicly they want to come home. The problem is convincing someone to go the other way.
I prefer O'Rourke of them all mainly because he's a midfielder with a bit of size but any of them would fit at Richmond remembering Chaplin is old and Astbury was injured.
Again I think a sweetener for Richmond is in order for any one-on-one trade. Maybe a two player for one and a pick is possible. 
Vickery    24yo    200cm   98kg  Ruckman  87 games
O'Rourke   20yo   188cm   78kg  Midfielder  9 games
Shiel   21yo    181cm   83kg  Midfielder   50 games
Jaksch  20yo   196cm   90kg  Key Defender 7 games
Frost   21yo    194cm   93kg  Key Defender   21 games.

It would be nice for the club to bite the bullet at last and take a risk but we seem unable to be that clinical about our list, particularly with favourites like Conca and Vickery.

Should we be deleting the threads on here bagging Vickery?
Absolutely, and create some fictitious superhero ones to replace them
Do you think the opposition clubs will buy it?

Dunno but it cant hurt

Why would GWS want Vickery? Got plenty of tall forwards. Got plenty of rucks.

They wouldn't. As I have said many times they need experienced backmen which is why Batchelor and if possible Grimes are probably the only two we could offer up.

Sinclair is not AFL standard at all. Handy WAFL or VFL player only.

So we are suggesting that we trade Vickery struggles to get the ball but who can kick goals and hit targets for Shiel who can find his own ball but butchers it when he kicks. :huh :huh

How could he be exploring options when he s contracted, if this was true it would be RFC exploring,options regarding a trade , it doesn't surprise me in the least clubs would be interested, see him as a very good follower

If both parties agree it doesn't matter there is a contract. How hard is that to work out??

There's about 3 clubs that have enquired about Ty's availability.

Depends what these clubs are offering.
