What did he say?? probably the usual blurb..

[Phil Mrakov]

Nothing interview. Don't bother listening. Why does he even give an interview if he's just going to say we aren't going to be active at all in FA/Trade period

Richmond eyes Levi Greenwood, Ty Vickery to stay

DON'T expect any Tigers to be put on the trade table, with Richmond football manager Dan Richardson saying his players were all happy at Punt Road.

And despite having some interest in North Melbourne midfielder Levi Greenwood, Richardson said he expected the Kangaroo to extend his contract and remain a part of Brad Scott's team.

Speaking on NAB AFL Trade Radio, Richardson said the Tigers would be looking to add midfield depth over the coming months, but would be unlikely to give up players of their own.

"We don't see any indication from any of our players – including (captain) Trent (Cotchin) – that they're interested in playing anywhere else but here, and hopefully be a part of some success we hope to have," Richardson said.

He was quick to dispel any notion Richmond might trade maligned stuff Ty Vickery, saying he was a required player.

Richardson said his non-selection in the final rounds after returning from suspension was solely based on not wanting to upset team chemistry when they were in such good form.

"Tall key-position players that can play in the ruck are players that a lot of clubs are after," he said.

"He was a little disappointed after missing out on selection late in the year when he came back from suspension … but that's not to say from a long-term perspective we don't see him being a real important player for our footy club."

Richardson said the Tigers had all but given up any hope of getting Greenwood, and would not be sacrificing either Reece Conca or Shaun Grigg to do so.

"At this stage it doesn’t seem to make any sense to us that he (Greenwood) would want to leave North Melbourne," he said.

"They're in the process of negotiation and at this stage we haven't received any indication from Levi's management or the Kangaroos that they want to let him go. I'm sure that's where it'll end up."

Richardson also quashed speculation the Tigers had made a play for Sydney Swan Dan Hannebery.

He said Hannebery, contracted until the end of 2016, would be a welcome addition to any midfield, but was unlikely to move.

"Having just lost a Grand Final, I'd be astounded if any Swans players weren't working hard to rectify that. I'd be astounded if any of their players were to move on."

Did they ask him what had changed from the middle of the season when he stated we were going to bring forward our play for free agents?

[tiga]

Required player is indian for player on contract with no currency.

Richmond confirms interest in North Melbourne midfielder Levi Greenwood

Herald-Sun
October 02, 2014

RICHMOND will swoop on North Melbourne hard man Levi Greenwood if he is unable to agree to terms at the Kangaroos.

The Herald Sun revealed on Tuesday Greenwood was unsigned for next season despite an expected top-three finish in tomorrow night’s best and fairest.

The Roos remain confident a deal for Greenwood is imminent, but will likely have to increase their offer to the onballer on the back of his career-best season.

Richmond head of football Dan Richardson said the Tigers were interested in Greenwood if he decided to leave Arden St.

“He’s the type of player certainly that there is some interest from us in, but look, at this stage, I think at the moment it doesn’t seem to make any sense to us that he would want to leave North Melbourne,” Richardson said on AFL trade radio.

“At this stage we haven’t received any indication from Levi’s management or the Kangaroos that they want to let him go.

“I’m sure that’s where he will end up, most of the time it does.

“Certainly he’s a player that we have got some interest in. He’s good friends with Aaron Edwards, who ironically we’ve delisted.

“So we’ve got some understanding of where Levi’s at, but until anything falls out with the Kangaroos I think that’s probably where that will end up.”

Richardson ruled out trading for Carlton pair Mitch Robinson and Jeff Garlett, while contracted Tigers Shaun Grigg and Tyrone Vickery would not be offered up.

All I can say is Grigg must have photos......

[Yeahright]

You'd be a fool not to offer up Shaun Grigg if it was going to get you Greenwood  . Better player plus we offload a soft outside player who we started playing inside for a genuine inside mid

[Phil Mrakov]

Why would we not be interested in Gartlett? Is it because he's an aborriginee

Why would we not be interested in Gartlett? Is it because he's an aborriginee

Is there such thing as an aboriginal muslim?

[Penelope]

maybe coz he's a stuff up that struggled on the field when eddie left and he copped all the attention?

Yeah, Mundine is one

Yep, this.

It would go against the 'good-character' rhetoric continually coming out of the club, if they suddenly recruited a player that had been in trouble for off-field issues/matters at his former club.
