Brisbane Lions pursuing Richmond's David Astbury (Age)

[YellowandBlackBlood]

Elton LOL. Dudes done nothing. Hope he finally does something this year so I can eat my hat but I'm not holding my breath

x 2.  Sooooo happy to be proven wrong but I don't get the hype yet.

Maybe we can trade him for Dawson?

Dawson has still shown more positive signs than Elton has.

? ?

Don't agree?

Possibly. But what has Elton got to do with this discussion. I'm the one that suggested we try trading Astbury for Dawson. Mainly to please old Smokey.

What the hell are you on about? Look at the quotes dude. Elton was the whole basis of the conversation, me and smokey were "LOLing" at comments about Elton. You then commented on it saying trade for Dawson while never specifying Astbury. Maybe try paying attention for a change

My discussion was to do with trading Astbury for Dawson. You brought up Elton and stated that Dawson has already shown more than Elton. I can't see how that has any relevance to my statement at all. If you can please explain how Elton fits in to trading Astbury for Dawson. Even if your other conversation was about Elton, trading Astbury for Dawson has nothing to do with Elton. I thought the thread was all about Brisbane's interest in Astbury.

And you don't have to be personal with your attacks too. What are the other examples that show that I'm not paying attention? No more than the average poster here including yourself I would have thought. You come across as a angry man with your posts. I suggest you clam down and not be rude to fellow posters. After all we all want Richmond to be successful. Or don't you think I want that?

I think you're a nice poster Y&BB 

[big tone]

Does anyone seriously think we could get pick 21 for a bloke that that has shown basically next to nothing in 6 odd years except for maybe a 4 week period where he kept an out of form Travis Cloke quiet? 
And has been in the rehab group more than any other player over those 6 years?


Pick 41 might be closer to the mark.

This is Brisbane we are talking about. The legend of Crazy Voss lives on

He has never been the same since stepping on the stingray too. You might be able to snag 21 with downgrades of our
2nd and 3rd picks for their 3rd and 4th.

Why would you directly quote a conversation about Elton and not think to at least mention Astburys name? I'm really not sure what part you can't comprehend.
I don't know if you're not paying attention or twist things or what but you have a tendency to quote me and just change the topic. Has nothing to do with what I think you want. If I didn't think you cared how RFC performed I'd call you out on it, like I did with Ruined-something.
On an aside, quite funny how that turned out, dude just comes in here every couple of months to pot shot me but further proves my point of him not being a real supporter since he chucked the sulks after the Carlton EF loss

That Rumbah is an absolute stuffing flog that should be banned from getting on the internet

Our kpd stocks
Rance  - 26yo A grade
Chaplin  - 30yo Battler
Astbury -  25 yo  Battler
Elton  - 22yo cant get a kick in the vfl.

Yet people are talking about trading out kpds instead of talking about the very real need to add to them. Unbelievable..

Yeah I seriously do

I don't rate him but other clubs do.

Brissie very interested. Helps that the Lions senior coach rates him highly

And you talk about how we keep hacks on our list for so long that they lose all trade value. If Astbury was ever going to amount to anything it would have happened by now. Trade him if somebody is interested.

Chase Carlisle, Henderson and Tomlinson.

Retire Chaplin.

And Grimes is a tall tbh at 193/88. 3rd tall/can play small but a tall nonetheless. Good player too.

And i agree with that. All im saying is if we trade out Astbury it makes it even more imperative we target a kpd or two. There is great need even if Astbury is kept and all he is doing is making up numbers.. . Ive already stated on a thread here that Tomlinson and Carlisle would be a dream trade period for me.

Yep grimes is tall but he is not a Kpd.  There is a distinction that needs to be made. I sure hope the club can make that distinction as well. Grimes role within the side has been to play almost exclusively on the smaller fwds this yr and i agree hes done a decent job.
Trade Astbury and do nothing to cover his loss what does it spell out for next year.
Rance, Chaplin and Elton. Who in their right mind except Richmond  would go into a season with that group (Stalins words) so few and so little quality just one player.   and still expect to be a top 4 contender. Have said it often lose Rance and there is no backline when it comes to talls. Lose rance and you can kiss top 8 good bye yet alone top 4.
Imo the club in the trade period is AGAIN targeting the wrong type of player.

...and talls get overs more often than not...

[Diocletian]

Chaplin's not going anywhere with one year still left on his contract....just pray we don't offer him another one....

Aint that the truth
