RICHMOND has conceded defeat in its pursuit of a big name star and turned its attention to Greater Western Sydney hard nut Jacob Townsend.

Townsend, 22, has played only 28 games in four seasons at the Giants and only one this year because of injury and lack of opportunity.

“We have two needs that we have identified — one a rebounding defender, which is hopefully (Carlton’s) Chris Yarran, and the other is an inside midfielder,” Tigers football boss Dan Richardson said on Friday.

“Ideally we would have liked to have got an elite mid like (Adam) Treloar, but that’s not going to happen.

Asked if the club would still attempt to land a star midfielder during next week’s trade period, Richardson said: “You never say never, but the reality is we’ve been connected to everyone. Some of it’s true and some of it’s not. If we can bring those two players in we’ll be quite happy.”

“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.

Yesss!!!  :clapping

bring on the meltdown

do it, do it, do it.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
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."

Agreed, couldnt get what we wanted so should have blown the budget on anything available to satisfy the need.....

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."

Well gee whiz.....couldn't see this coming.....

Actually more concerned that - as I already knew -we're looking to play Yarran of half back....obviously pinning a lot of hopes on those guns, Lloyd, Gordon and the kid Butler to meet our desperate small forward needs next year....or will Supercoach go to the Morris well once again? Can hardly wait! :gotigers

wasnt there something very recently that they were looking to play yarran as a forward, or was that just some nupties view?

this is a new strategy
