lol at some of you who sit & watch Twitts One of the tools l have never used

astbury is 25 next season

hes had a few injury and attacks from sea animals, but overall hes not been given a proper shot

no doubt in the back of his mind he thinks the hardwick selection policy is a bit smelly overall

do we move on or do we stagnate

pick 19 is overs - in a draft thats rubbish outside the top 20, and you only get two b/c grade players in a free for all trade period

You complain that we hold on to blokes who you deem to be no good but make excuses for guys who haven't shown enough to warrant being selected let alone kept on our list

i was all for trading a conca, astbury, B ellis, bachelor, elton to improve our draft position, given the draft is apparently poor outside of the high end

the fact is we did not

i am merely saying i can see how asbtury is disillusioned with his lot given his time at the club

Yarran becomes a Tiger

Richmond has sealed a trade for talented, versatile speedster Chris Yarran from Carlton.

The Tigers have handed the Blues the pick 19 they received from Gold Coast earlier this week in exchange for Yarran, who has played 119 games and kicked 90 goals in his seven-season AFL career.

Yarran, Carlton’s first pick (No. 6 overall) in the 2008 National Draft, enjoyed a career-best season in 2014, finishing fourth in its Best and Fairest award.

Throughout his time at Carlton, he earned a reputation as one of the most exciting players in the competition, due to his lightning pace, evasive ability and excellent kicking skills with either foot.

He’s also capable of being used effectively in a variety of roles, including as a small forward and a rebounding defender.

Only needs to be better than Yarran....... the next Fyfe would likely be someone Hackson would've missed anyway....

Next years draft strong apparently.  And we are already down a 2nd rounder

[Diocletian]

Yeah but Conca, B.Ellis, Houli, Grigg & Griffiths are all required players and untouchable....

[Lozza]

We certainly have scope to trade for further picks in next years draft. If Yarran does lift to a new level as did Betts for the Crows then it may well be the best recruiting we have done for some time. The problem is of course that if he fails to perform then our 2nd round pick we gave away will no doubt turn out to be a superstar. If anyone is in the posession of a crystal ball then please hand it over to the RFC because otherwise we all as supporters need to let things pan out before being too critical of both the decison to bring Yarran to the club and the method of getting him here.

Well turned out ok in the end, happy with this, welcome Chris...
