Trade/FA rumours

[Francois Jackson]

Barlow....

LMFAO

[YellowandBlackBlood]

The style of footy we play must put players off coming to us surely.

Is the RFC that dumb they cannot see this?

We are stuck with Dimma for at least another year, he still has time to turn this around if only he wasn't so stubborn.

The game the other week against the Dogs was good to watch even if we did lose. He played the kids and seemed to let them play with a little more flair. Since then it looks like he has gone back to what got us to where we are today.

Play to your strengths, take some chances and at the very least the game is exciting to watch.
We have some decent kids coming through IMO and now is the time to ease out the list blockers like Grigg and Hunt. Not bring in Houli.

Hurley is not coming because of a ridiculous low ball pitch by Dan the man. The senior playing group did their bit to get him to us but Dan lives in the "Geelong circa 2009" era where he feels that all players must accept unders to build a premiership side...

You serious?

Yep.  This is what a good source has told me and he is usually on the money.

Barlow has a very serious sholder injury and is rated only a 50% chance of resurrecting his AFL career.

Buyer beware.

[Owl]

how about buyer avoid even

[WA Tiger]

We have to stop looking at these players, they are moved on from their current clubs be cause they are finished or not part of long term successful plans. Barlow has had his day in the sun, move on.

[Stalin]

Well he is/was a mad Richmond supporter...can't see it though but gee..

We are due some luck ...

He good enough to carry the duds too

[Jonesracing82]

forget Barlow at his age, hit the Draft instead

I believe this, havent heard the reasoning but have heard that we're not in the running.

He means to say he read it on big footy

We continue to ignore our kpp situation. FFS trade for a couple of  quality kpps or are we going to rely on the likes of Chaplin  astbury Elton  Vickery again.Are we gunna hope Griffiths after how many tears finds some decent consistency.
This draft is chock a block full of mids but is light on for talls.Address the areas that should be addressed first and we should be able to pick up a decent mid or two late in the draft.

I'd have absolutely no problem if every one of them you named were moved on.

Yep. I would take Prestia for pick 8 in a heartbeat.

If we do use our 1st for Prestia then we should be getting 1 of there 2nd rounders as change I would think.

Everyone had been talking Hurley.
What do you think of Eric McKenzie at west coast.
Was almost A/A IN 2014.Did his knee just before the first round in 2015 and missed all of that year.He has taken some time to get back this year and has been a little on the outer. WCE have McGovern, Brown, Schofield Barass and McKenzie is the one on the outer atm.
He has shown himself to be a very high quality defender and would suit our needs down to the ground. Would be in his ear if i was in charge at the club and at least letting him know we are very interested.

Would also be asking Gws about both Tomlinson and Corr.Both have struggled to get regular games for various reasons, i know Corr had his share of injury and has struggled for form because of them.

If we managed to get all three our spine and kpp structure goes from poor to looking pretty decent.

B/ #### - McKenzie - Corr
HB/ #### - Rance - ####

HF/ Moore - Tomlinson - ####
FF/ #### - Riewoldt -  Griffiths

Massive yes to McKenzie- can play and would be perfect to help out Rance.
Tomlinson- yes too but what is he worth! Our first pick??
Corr- no thanks, haven't seen anything to tell me he will be a good player.

[camboon]

If a player can not get a game at his current club there is a good chance he will be a list clogger at Richmond . The strategy of turning horse manure into strawberry jam does not , refer to our 30 year recruiting history
A and B graders or invest in the draft. If a player is not going to be a regular player I don't know why we hold onto him either.
