Its about time we landed a genuine big fish, and I feel we're primed for a guy like Treloar.

Yes most of the pick-up's we've made over the last 4-5 years have been solid, indeed they have been fine, but now we need to prove to the AFL community that the tigers truly are back and land this guy.

If we want to mix it with the big boys, stamp ourselves as a "big 4" then we need exactly this type of high-profile signing - using the lure of the brand and stage that is Richmond. I know we all think of ourselves as a sleeping giant, a powerclub of yesteryear with potential always a-brimming - so lets prove it and sign this guy.

Look at the way players flock to the Hawthorns and Collingwoods, the Man U's and the Lakers; for moreorless the same amount of money. Its just as much the prestige of the high-profile club as it is the alure of a potential premiership.

Get it done tigers, he's a jet and we'd have one more box to tick for the resurgence!

He is not a big fish yet but by God he will be and a 200 game plus player.

Is a must for our club and we need to throw the lot at him.

Averages 28 possessions at 75% with 5 tackles, 4 clearances and 3 inside 50s.
I'd say they are elite numbers.

“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

True, but would u give up a gun 21 year old to hold said cupboard open if u are gws list manager?

If he wants to go then GWS have to see what they can get in return. Pick 13 and Conca/Lennon would be my offer.

Pick 13 and Conca, leave it at that. Lennon has not been given a chance.

If you really want Treloar, that's not even close to his value.

It would be if Treloar threatened to walk and demanded Richmond.

If we don't land a "big fish" I'd like us to do what we should've done last year and at least trade for a few more high picks. Especially in  a supposedly shallow draft. Would be happy adding Balic, Dunkley & Crocker to our list. Collingwood, Footscray & St.Kilda have all improved markedly with this strategy. Mind you, they all had more aging quality players they could offer than we have. Also helps when you still have a relatively recent good finals record, as it can inflate the perceived value of your players.

Should you trade for picks in a dud draft though? Seems like you'll just be trading duds for duds and better off waiting for a better draft? Then again at least they are untried duds

Yes but the quality should be more condensed at the high end of a shallow draft (if that's what it actually is - the "experts" regularly say drafts  are either shallow or "superdrafts" this far out and they usually don't turn out to be either) so it's perhaps just as important to get more high picks in a shallow draft. Kevin Sheehan reckons there'll be good quality to at least around pick 35-40, which really wouldn't be that much worse than last year's.

I tend to agree on Carisile.
I like Treloar but I don't love him. Would prefer DANGER!
