CARLTON is unmoved on its demands for first-round draft picks in return for wantaway stars Chris Yarran and Lachie Henderson, head of football Andrew McKay says.
The Blues are set to dial up the pressure on Richmond to meet their asking price to get a deal done for speedster Yarran, who is contracted for next year but has nominated the Tigers as his club of choice.
Yarran's manager Paul Connors said on NAB AFL Trade Radio on Monday that Richmond was "strong on only a second-round pick" but hoped there would be "a happy medium somewhere".
McKay said the Blues were willing to get a deal done for the right pick.
"Let's make it very, very clear that he's a contracted player so we'll be fighting tooth-and-nail for the best possible pick for Chris, because he is a quality player," McKay said.
"We want a first-round pick. Richmond are baulking at that by the sound of it, but that's just all part of the negotiation process."
