Given our level of research into players he will never run again and we'll swap 3 1st rounders for him.  I really would want solid proof he is over his leg injury.

Sometimes you gotta take a risk

More when trying to get ahead - in a league with drafts, equalisation, caps

Honestly why would you? He's done a bad injury you will have to pay massively over for him like 2 1st round picks and his best days are over. He will be a good player but not a great one from now on. It's not like the Chris Judd deal his injuries were to his shoulders and he's not a kpp, Fyfe is a leg fracture, anyone remember Nathan Brown here? He won't be as quick or as mobile but will still win contests but for 2 1st rounders and a million a year it would be stupid.

He's 25 years old ...

Big call you are making

It's fyfe, not grimes

He didnt snap his leg like Brown, it didnt have an impact on Chris Newmans career.

Fyfe is an out and out gun, if we had even a sniff of a chance to get him then we would be negligent in not doing all we could.

Shane Edwards was bought back from a broken leg in two weeks

No big deal unless it's gnarly

Fyfe's leg is fine.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

So I guess the question is do we actually have a sniff of getting him; are things in motion to court him across OR is this all just a bunch of tigers supporters getting together and saying "oh he was a tiger growing up, of course he wants to come to us" and its grown into a rumor?

He had a broken leg, not very stable strategy is it ... He's already said he wants to go to Geelong. Lets not bother. It's too hard.

At least there Is yarren. I mean motlop. And Prestia gee whiz a steal

No Richmond will not land a big fish this trade week. There might actually be a lot of time left before te window closes but we will declare so anyway and show our hand. Supporters need to give it a rest. We have a middling rubbish list because of you people

Yeah na cream. At least we are the first team to put our draft picks on the website. Before the draft but you know

Oh sorry I thought it was dangerfield / trelor

My mistake

You people is the Richmond members that according to the list manager - are the reason Richmond are currently terrible with loads of plodding, nearing 30 yoa list blockers

Could have had t Boyd, bont, t mitchel, Parker but you had to be difficult didn't u

His leg is nothing like Nathan Browns, he demolished his leg, snapped it in half ffs.  Knew straight away he was finished.

Chasing mediocroty once again, with dimmer still as coach is the issue.

His overseeing of development in 7 years is the worst in the comp.

There's no hope, surely.

A new beginning is the best answer..... But Ben and peg gave hike another two years.
