The Bont will be a dog for life...Tom Green will be better and is far more getable...watch his Rising Star interview on 360 from last week.....kid's just biding his time at GWS and could barely hide that he's hanging out to wear a the yellow & black....Tiger through and through... :shh

Lets hope club on to him.

I'm prepared to bet we're ten inches into him in every orifice.

Kid will come home...

IIRC he is contracted to Gee Whiz till end of 2023, reckon we've been into for years

Yep extended for 2 years so 4 years in total.  Cant get him till 2024

He'll be here soon enough.... :shh

Sam Taylor and one of GWS's quality young fringe mid like Caldwell or Hately should be the primary targets this year...if we're looking at older "premiership window" players then we should try and prise Rory Laird away from Adelaide now they're heading into rebuild mode and will get nothing for him at the end of next year...perfect Houli replacement...upgrade in fact...on a similar note..a bit of a gamble but wouldn't say no to a year or three of Luke Parker either...even if we can at least just get him to rotate with Prestia & Cotch in rehab... :shh :shh

Could do worse than to have a look at Sam Simpson from Geelong. Liked his game and no opportunity for him there

Throw the next sink at that Rankine because wow he can find the sticks!

GCS actually a very enjoyable team to watch this year. Need to raid some of those kids...

After the year they've had the AFL are going to have to reassess the value of persisting with the expansion clubs sooner or later whether they like it or not...#richpickings :shh

They wont get rid of GWS or Gold Coast. Theyve invested to much. GWS have been good and are growing support in Western Sydney and Canberra whilst the Suns are now showing good signs under steeart dew.

If Brad Crouch leaves Adelaide and they get picked 2 as Free Agency Compensation I will spew up.

Carlton Big Footy Poster C4[2]Yo`DooR who's probably the most reliable snout there has linked us to him....though from what I've seen of him so far it's nothing to get overly excited about... :shh

Good call D, was touted as a gun in his draft year and was a first round pick but has not developed as expected.

Quote from Knightmares assessment of him( at the start of his TAC season) possibly gong pick 5.

" As a best available selection, Brodie would be a terrific compliment to Patrick Cripps in tight as one of this year's standout stoppage players. Brodie, 189cm, 82kg, is an immediate player who wins first possession at stoppages and displays excellent speed, agility and work-rate by position. He is a proven performer against mature VFL bodies and lifts when the game is on the line".

After four seasons you would have to call bust on him being an A grader but at the right price might end up being a solid C+ player.

Maybe as a Rookie if he got there , I think Richmond only get players that are in the first 22 of their current clubs otherwise go to the draft
if that’s that’s the strategy it’s been a winner the last 5 years

We shouldn't be interested in players from other teams unless they fill a need on our list.

That being the case where is our greatest need on our list?

I would suggest that we are short of another quality midfielder.

Yep, class mid missing from the rotation.  Not B Crouch, SPP or Ollie Wines.  I am thinking a Zac Merrett or someone along those lines.  Left footer be good too.

Constable at Geelong on the outer. Won't play in the midfield if Selwood & Dangerfield are there and that's not going to change. Other clubs will come knocking at the end of the season according to Sam Edmund on SEN.
