Trade talk, rumours & innuendo [merged]

[The Machine]

Happy with this - prefer Murray for free should it happen.

[Owl]

Devils dandruf is a hard habit to kick apparently.  Do we need the drama?

[pmac21]

Sam Murray... No thanks, got plenty like him already on the list. 
Just take 4 picks to the draft. 
Rookie Coffield & Beasley

[Diocletian]

Beasley maybe, Coffield no....rather go for the likes of Jai Bolton, Tyron Smallwood,  Jonty Scharenberg, Mitch Podhajski or Sam Lowson who was tipped to go early in the mid-season draft until he got injured the weekend just before it...

Beasley maybe, Coffield no....rather go for the likes of Jai Bolton, Tyron Smallwood,  Jonty Scharenberg, Mitch Podhajski or Sam Lowson who was tipped to go early in the mid-season draft until he got injured the weekend just before it...

Smallwood for sure. Classy player.

I wish Dodoro and Essendon were banned from the trade period. We'll spend the next 10 days with every other deal being held up because those deluded idiots want multiple first round picks for their leaving players .

[Diocletian]

As I said, Ellis compo gyp has stuffed us right up - my guesses are we will likely give up Butler for unders, possibly Moore for a token pick , Menadue likewise or part of a package to Freo with McIntosh but reckon KM will only be let go if we get offered a pick in the 20's or low 30's ...probably won't trade picks until draft night....the unknown quantity is whether or not we're looking at trading out next year's picks - and of course whenever Balme's involved there's always a good chance of some kind of rabbit being pulled out of the hat up right until the last minute.....

[mightytiges]

Those out of contract - Butler, Moore & Menadue - have no trade value. An opposition club can just wait for them to be delisted and pick any of them up for free as a delisted free agent. We'd only a get a late pick back if there's a couple of clubs wanting the same player and one of them is willing to trade for him.

Only Markov and McIntosh have any trade value as they are still contracted. Even then Markov would be only worth a late pick as well.

[Diocletian]

Clubs trade for out of contract players all the time and until we actually actually delist them it's a game of bluff...all those players have pace which is what many clubs are most desperate for....also with Ellis now gone, a couple of them may have jumped the queue for a first team spot or at least think they have.....

Brodie Smith from Adelaide toured Richmond today apparently.

Edit: According to SEN

[Rampsation]

is he any good

[Diocletian]

Was very good for Adelaide in 2017 and an important part of their minor premiership that year....got injured in the QF win over GWS which was considered a big loss for them at the time...

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

Yes, would be an upgrade on a guy like Short/Baker or possibly to take Bachars role as he enters the twilight of his career.

Was AA in 2014

I hope CCJ is not involved in this at all

[Diocletian]

That would be a very bad and extremely short-sighted trade....
