Will be a good squad player and decent deal. He can certainly tackle, thanks to his rugby background. We love a steal from GWS.

My issue is that thats all we have done in the past decade just recruit squad players. Even with FA. Miles is an exception but we got pretty lucky there.

If we keep continuing to recruit players in our 15th - 30th picked player rank how long do we have to do this for top 4?
Go Tigers!

id guess 90 - 100 years

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

see, things aren't always as bad as they seem

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.

So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Champion Data’s Jacob Wilson joined Fox Footy’s Market Watch podcast to provide all of the latest information on the players traded on Friday.

JACOB TOWNSEND

GWS youngster Jacob Townsend joined Richmond along with pick 120 in a deal that saw pick 70 head to the Giants.

The 22-year-old only managed one game in 2015, but Wilson provided some of his statistics from the NEAFL that would have undoubtedly attracted the Tigers.

“He’s an inside midfielder, so hopefully he can come in and fix the Tigers’ midfield,” Wilson said.

“In 2014, the Tigers were the third best stoppage team. Last season, they dropped down to 11th.

“They’re bringing in a guy who is a really strong tackler and a really strong clearance player.

“He averaged six clearances and six tackles (per game) in the NEAFL and in 2014 — from his eight games in the AFL — he averaged 7.5 tackles per game.

“Hopefully he can come in and be that big body they need to supplement their midfielders.”

“We are really excited about what we have brought in. We have got great depth of players that can take us where we need to go. We are just putting some cream on the top at the moment,” he said.
