Chris Yarran [merged]

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

Jon Ralph on SEN said Yarran for Richmond's first round pick. Currently pick 13 but with all the compensation picks added to clubs below us, it may end up pick 18/19.

There's also rumours that Yarran may end up back home in WA at West Coast.

Ralph also said Richmond should be going after Motlop as he is more suited to our needs.

They owe us a 2nd rounder from the Hampson deal, maybe we can remind them of that.....

I don't know if I want Yarran for a first rounder, 2nd rounder and a player maybe?

I'd prefer Motlop, agree with Ralph.

I think people are underestimating how big trading future picks will be

Also talking about Treloar going to the Pies, if we need one player its Treloar, never mind the dregs in Yarren, MUST TRY FOR TRELOAR!!!

Hello we have, we are? Been well reported but if the kid choses the Pies and they can do a trade (1st round pick) he will go there

Sorry, let me rephrase; WE MUST GET HIM..we cant let this kid go to the Pies...Give up Ellis and our first rounder.

agree if we dont get danger must get trelor

we have traded drafted enough b and c graders need top shelf now

[Stalin]

I'd still rather not pay 650k plus for treloar. if he wants more than that then id be happy to not get him. would rather get yarren and motlop.

why not?

Another top tier talent is always welcome. Id rather him than three or four more average ones

its not every day the so called "best player in league u22" is uo for grabs

[RedanTiger]

Do this "due diligence" then move on from Yarran!!

Due diligence eh.

Something like a quick look at stats.
Yarran career disposals 14.5
Houli career disposals 21.25

or maybe the fact that the bottom team in the competition with the worst list won't play him.

or maybe because we have a shortage of his type with only Houli, Hunt, Drummond, Castagna, Ellis, McDonough on the list.

If the club recruits Yarran AND pays anything more than a 3rd rounder and an average wage (around $300K) then they will have proved their incompetence.
The player we could have got for the Yarran pick, like Rockliff, Barlow and Heppell in the past, will be the albatross around their necks.

A decision to recruit Yarran is so stupid on so many different levels (attitude, ability, trade price, wage, loss of development) I cannot see how list management and coach can hold their jobs.

correct

[Beans]

All rumour, innuendo,supposition, smoke and mirrors at the moment. I wouldn't be surprised if the Yarran talk is a smokescreen.

Fits the mold of our recruits from other clubs.. Disenfranchised, unfulfilled talent. I would not want to risk much on him though.

Our first for Yarran and their second? Its a drop of ten spots i guess.

Maybe Astbury and a second?
 

[scjhammo]

If yarrans head is in the right place then a 2-3rd rounder would be a goer for people saying 1st rd please ur kidding.... Id prefer a motlop who can kick goes and goes on ball but im thinking hell probably stay at geelong depending on what they get as he hasn't signed and rumours have always linked him to part f the danger deal...
when we mention yarran you look at our list he is better then - Gordon, Pettard, lloyd, mcdonaghue certainky adds more toughness then them and as well as rookies Arnott,thomas
GO U TIGERS

[Andyy]

Why the hell would you chase Yarran when we already had a lightning quick wingman in Matt White? And Whitey would have died for the club, AND cost a lot less.

Don't think Yarran would offer us more than he did tbh.

Dangerfield should be priority, followed by Treloar. Motlop also. And I'd fancy a shot at Carlisle and Henderson. We desperately need another KPP at both ends. Jack is crying out for another F50 target to help him share the load - Griff looks like he has gone backwards and Vickery is still a cameo king. Rance will need help when Chaplin retires (probably 2016 his last season? Old and slow).

Honestly if Danger will cost us $800k-1million/year I'd rather have two of either Motlop, Carlisle and Henderson. All 3 would be fantastic once you look at funds freed up by Newman, Foley and presumably Petterd (surely can't keep him).

Would make both our F50 and D50 look a lot more stable.

[pmac21]

Agree Houli is better than Yarran but Yarran is a forward plain and simple. 
I will almost put money on the fact that Yarran will kick 40-50 goals for us playing deep forward

[WilliamPowell]

I'd certainly look at Henderson

The only consistent footy he has played has been off the half back line...

I actually think Yarran could be a big asset for a team. However, i don't think that team is us. The way he plays doesn't fit the mould of our defensive unit. The only role i could see him playing is that of Houli's and I'd say at this point of their careers Houli is the superior player.

We're no shot with Dangerfield. Would love Treloar but i fear Collingwood has all but snapped him up. Wouldn't be surprised if Motlop ended up staying at the cattery. Carlisle has potential but clearly has issues upstairs and plays he's best footy as a KPD which isn't our most pressing need. WB or Carlton will over pay him. Henderson is grossly overrated and a massive pea heart. Want nothing to do with him.

Yep, that's enough for me!!!
