I wouldn’t mind Jack Martin at all. Another who hasn’t hit his peak at the GCS.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Take a wide berth from Mason Wood after yesterday. We don't need another forward who misses gettable shots from just 25m out.

Hope he keeps it up, he could be a bargain...still rate him.... :shh

...though having just watched the U'18 Australian team smash Casey think I'd rather trade for higher picks.....some seriously exciting talent on dispay.....Adelaide will be rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of Matt Rowell - hope Carlton think Stocker was worth it... :shh :shh

Any other prospects that could be good gets.
I think we will be looking for a midfielder or two with our early picks

You should've asked me just after the match finished -  can't remember any of their names now... :shh

There was an indigeneous kid who looked like he was playing at half -forward that reminded me a lot of Jack Martin - from NT and not named Rioli so probably wont go early....there was a taller Libba Jr lookalike think his name was Flanders who looks a decent inside mid that can drift forward and kick goals.....some talent in the backline too...a tall long haired kid Josh something- IIRC last name sounded similar to Warpole or Weller (but wasn't either of those)....most of the very best players like Rowell seemed to come from Oakleigh Chargers... :shh :shh

Most of the kids all went in hard and tackled. Casey seemed to be taging one of the kids you mentioned.
Stock seemed a bit lost at AFL level last time I saw him, but give him time.

Wernt there rumours during trade period that we were after Matt crouch? Would be a great addition to our midfield.

Who would your club target in a mid-season trade?

Sarah Black

RICHMOND

Trade targets

Brayden Sier: The Magpies' big-bodied inside midfielder is yet to play a game at AFL level this year but played 12 (including finals) in 2018. Will add depth to an area hit badly by injuries.

Jack Gunston: With depth being tested at both ends of the ground, a genuine classy swingman could be the icing on the cake. The Hawks are still no finals certainties, either.

Lachie Henderson: Out for one more week with a plantar fascia injury, but not in Geelong's best 22 regardless. Richmond's key back stocks have looked wobbly at times this year, and Henderson is experienced on the big stage.

On the table 

Jacob Townsend: A proven player with good form in finals, Townsend can play either midfield or forward. Not in Richmond's best 22 and was re-drafted as a rookie.

Dan Butler: May be looking for opportunities elsewhere after falling out of favour. A classy premiership forward who knows where the goals are. Has also been playing a bit of midfield in the VFL.

Jack Graham: A somewhat controversial call given his Grand Final exploits but was out of the best 22 before his hamstring injury. Now fully fit, he is capable of playing as an inside mid, half-forward or even across half-back.

Yes. I would be happy if the club made enquires. A Big bodied extractor is just what we need.

The other young bloke at the Wobbles who's not getting a game that I'd be looking at is Ben Crocker....he's basically De Goey's understudy......not quite as talented obviously but probably more versatile....can play forward, mid and off half back....liked him since I saw him play for Vic Metro in the champs - was hoping we'd select him with a later pick that year... :shh

Call me crazy, but I'd consider trading probably all 3 for the other 3 haha.

Currently Townsend and Butler are 100% not best 22. Graham I think might struggle to get back in also.

Gunston a class act and long-proven goal kicker. Henderson not a bad option for KPD depth. Sier probably more upside at this stage than Towner.


Anyone else?
