Richmond expected to lay low in AFL trade period (Herald-Sun)

[tiga]

Not even a rumour but someone on the Giants' BF board has said Mark Whiley (inside mid) is in the same boat Miles was 12 months ago (on the outer at GWS) and would like him to go to Richmond to get a decent go.

Comparison: http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_player_compare?tid1=25&pid1=3793&tid2=15&pid2=3786&type=A&fid1=S&fid2=P&fopt2=2013

Yep Whiley is a quality inside mid and excellent tagger who has had very limited opportunities this year. Watched him play a fair bit over the past 3 seasons. Played 2 games in 2014 with an average of 18 disposals. Had a tagging role on Pendlebury against the pies and kept him very quiet. In NEAFL this year he was a ball magnet and had 30+ touches on at least 4 occasions. In 2013 Was The Giants NEAFL player of the year.

Excellent replacement for Jacko!

Where do we sign?????

Was listening to Balmey on SEN this morning and he said of players like Hunt "of course you want to keep them all, but it doesnt work like that, its most important to make some hard calls and keep rejuvenating and improving the list, you cant just sit on your laurels"

If Swans can't afford Hannebury offer him $700,000 a season and swans pick 11 or 12 and get it done.

Sydney’s Daniel Hannebery is going nowhere despite Victorian clubs including Richmond expressing interest in the 23-year-old star.

He is seen as the perfect inside-outside midfielder, but after a disappointing season is determined to bounce back and win a flag for Sydney.

His manager Nick Gieschen said Hannebery was content in Sydney.

“Knowing the bloke Hannebery is coming off the Grand Final loss there is no way he would leave the Swans,’’ he said.

“He will go all out to make amends and there is no way they would let him go in their premiership window.”

apparently the inside tough mid we are chasing is brad sewell from hawthorn hahaha know im just kidding people settle down

So our laying low in the trade period indicates the coaches and recruiters think our list is in good shape and is ready to roll next year?

The stakes for 2015 get higher by the day.

By the way, Winderlich to Richmond is the word on the street.

Relax.

We have Chris Newman.

He's a finals specialist.

Our footy department aren't tuff enough and brave enough to make big calls on players.Perfect timing to put Vickery and Conca out there.Were not even brave enough to realise players like Grigg,Batch,Petterd,Houli etc can't take us further yet our footy department is blind.I wasn't happy with the Dan Richardson appointment and still not.

Or not.. We realise we have many holes and we are going to the draft to fix them instead of loading up with players ( hampson, thomas, petterd )

[Judge Roughneck]

I exepect Vickery and conca will have more trade value in 1-2-3 years time not less.

Given factors such as age, potential

could go either way, more likely the other way based on performance to date
