[Smokey]

Don't get the RFC to do it, they will only put the dirty one on backwards and tell you what a great job they did!!

Lol. No the opposite., no drink for 8 days😂😂

There's the problem right there!!   

[WA Tiger]

Is it the end of trade period?

May as well be the end result will be the same as it is now, oh aside from Yarran.😳😳😳

Go and break your 8 day drought. No richmond supporter should ever deprive themselves for so long.

Tom Browne on Ch 7 news tonight:

Melbourne is willing to trade Chris Dawes. Essendon and Freo were named because they are in need of key forwards.

Toumpas has told Melbourne he wants to be a traded.

[wayne]

Dawes got pick 20 for Pies, Dees be lucky to get pick 40 in a weak draft

[Hellenic Tiger]

Dees reckon they'll get something from Freo who are advertising they need a forward.

They may get back Colin Sylvia and Ross Lyon's Prelim post game transcript. Does that make sense?

Brisbane’s Leuenberger, 27, will choose from the Swans and the Bombers, while Gold Coast Suns’ Smith, 25, is believed to be leaning towards either the Cats or the Bombers.

Western Bulldogs, Richmond and Sydney are also in the market for a ruckman.

West Coast ruckman Callum Sinclair told the Herald Sun he wants to stay in Perth to help lead the Eagles’ quest for premiership redemption next season.

Scott Lycett is contracted at West Coast until 2018 but could make a move after playing only six games this year. He was also overlooked for the Grand Final side.

[Hellenic Tiger]

Contracted to 2018. Obviously West Coast think highly of him to contract him for that long.

Get it done Tiges.

I'd accept Lycett for Conca in a straight swap.

[big tone]

Unlike most by the looks of things I'm pretty happy with the thought of getting Yarran. But I also agree with most that we should only be offering our second round pick. After all they pretty much want him gone so we are in the box seat you would hope.

Now that Bennel is off the table we should throw the kitchen sink at Carlisle. I'd be more than happy to give up our first pick for this bloke. He is a very good player and could hold down a key back roll for the next 6,7,8, years. He has been bogged down with all the Essendon crap for such a long time i think his best footy is still yet to come.
A backline with Carlisle, Rance, Grimes, Vlastuin, Yarran and maybe a young guy like Castagna could do the job defensively most weeks but with also the run and carry of a top 4 side.

Just as important this trade period IMO is to off load a few others for picks or players. Why not take a rick? Our list isn't a top 4 list but our best 22 maybe could be if we are brave.

Astbury and our 3rd round pick for Redden from Brisbane would be a steal. Would be easily in our starting 18 and a player like Grigg would be squeezed out.

Griffiths for a second round pick. Griff isn't going to take us anywhere IMO. Trade now while he still has currency.

Conca for Lycett from WCE. Not a star be any stretch but could hold down a second ruck spot comfortably IMO. And Conca IMO is just an "in-betweener " not even in our best 22 IMO.

B. Ellis for Mitchell Grigg from Adelaide and maybe their 3 rounder. I just think Ellis is the most scared footballer I have ever seen in a Tigers jumper. Scared of getting hurt but by far worse than that, scared of making a mistake. And Mitchell is big bodied mid that we need. One less soft footballer can't hurt. 

Morris and a 3rd rounder for Jake Neade from Port Adelaide. He could be the small forward we have lacked for as long as I can remember. And Morris seems to have had a line through his name.

So we could end up with
Carlisle
Yarran
Redden
Lycett
M. Grigg
Neade
And still have 1 pick in the second round, and a few after the 3 round.

And lose
Astbury
Griffiths
Conca
Ellis
Morris
All players with massive deficiencies that we wouldn't miss.

Jeez, they'd be earning their money if they managed that much over the TP. I doubt they will change the list up that much in one season, but we should be looking to be aggressive, give up some of our players with currency in order to fill gaps.

Don't want to see B Ellis leave, I don't think he's scared, he's just a genuine outside runner type. Look at his u18 highlights, the kid used to smash himself.

If we could snag Redden, Yarran and a KP/Ruckman I'd be satisfied without being excited. Still reeling a little from missing out on Treloar and now Bennell.

[one-eyed]

Richmond is now out of the race for Harley Bennell, as the Herald Sun’s Jay Clark reported exclusively.

But after overlooking him and missing out on GWS star Adam Treloar and Port Adelaide smooth mover Hamish Hartlett, what is plan D for the Tigers?

One club insider said last week the chatter between clubs about star players still contracted is mind-blowing, with Tom Boyd/Ryan Griffen-style bombshells still yet to come.

Does Richmond list manager Blair Hartley have an open cheque book to chase and drag down a big name Cyril Rioli-style?

AFL trade period 2015: Your club-by-club guide

  Matt Murnane

    October 5, 2015

Ahead of what is expected to be another explosive trade and free-agency period, we take a club-by-club look at the dramas on the cards for the next few weeks. 

RICHMOND

Who's in play?

The club remains confident of re-signing Ben Lennon, the former No.12 draft pick from 2013, and does not want to use him in any deal for Carlton's rebounding defender Chris Yarran. David Astbury is contracted but Brisbane have enquired about the key defender's status.

What's the priority?

The Tigers have pulled out of the race for Harley Bennell after meeting with him last week. Made a big play for Adam Treloar but were beaten to the punch by Collingwood. It seems only a matter of when and at what price for Yarran. Would they consider looking at someone like Steve Johnson?

What a bunch of negative tripe being put on here. stuffing relax everyone, there's no point stressing about things we can't control. Bennell is loose, i think we dodged a bullet there. Dangerfield? Yeah, like we ever had a chance.
The only blokes worth recruiting are those that don't need to be peeed in their pockets to get them

Besides, as WP posted, trade month hasn't even started yet. We may actually already have something lined up. And his posts make more sense than anyone else's on here.

Trelor ?

He wants to go to te club ith the goo young list

[scjhammo]

looking forward to all the rumours to come out on bennelll shortly out Thursday night with his mate DM, wonder if that was a plan to see how keen he was missed the medical anyway another one bites the dust... we will not improve by just picking up Yarran and a couple of young kids... we need to pull our heads out of backsides and get a player that can take us to the next level there is plenty of money and for the right person throw it at him
