Free agency, trades, draft: Every AFL club's list needs ahead of 2023

Richmond

List needs:

* Star midfielders

* Recycled or state league need-fillers who can add to Richmond's best 22

* Midfield speed

Who should they target?

With a midfield that has long struggled at stoppages and to win the contested ball, now is the opportune time for Richmond to aggressively pursue established ball winning midfielders. GWS duo Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper are the two Richmond have targeted and look set to secure during the trade period as two difference makers who can propel the Tigers back into premiership contention.

With Geelong proving that topping up on opposition talent and state leaguers is a winning formula for premiership success, Richmond may have one final chance to aggressively work towards putting together a premiership side. With Jed Anderson out of contract and Liam Stocker delisted, they would be budget list additions who importantly play the style of football that would fit Richmond.

If Taranto and Hopper are being added to Richmond's midfield, there will need to be an injection of speed and run around them to balance the Tiger's midfield. With Paddy Dow on the fringe for Carlton and having no clear path to a best 22 position, he would be an ideal midfield complement if willing to move.

"Is 12, 30 and 27 enough for the Giants for both Taranto and Hopper?" - Sando

"I don't think that's enough. They're on record saying that want two first-rounders for Taranto." - Edmund

Is 27 enough for Graham should be the question given it will slide to 30-odd.

And despite the cap squeeze I don't see how we can get out of the Taranto/Hopper trade without giving up at least 12, 19 and F1. However if that's enough to get it done and we hit the draft with 30 and possibly 27 that's not a bad outcome.

If GWS need 30 to get the deal over the line I want their 3rd rounders back.

Here's Sanderson and Sam Edmund's full discussion about us and Taranto/Hopper:

Listen here: https://twitter.com/traderadio/status/1575707731956146177

Sanderson and Edmund also threw up:

12 + Future 1st for Taranto

19 + 27 + 30 for Hopper

Plus Soldo.


Then they say Pick 27 for Graham won't get it done either. Pick 8 is too high unless something comes back the other way.

2 mins later they are talking about pick 27 for Graham as a done deal.


Got to love how any deal that screws us is fine while the media forget that GWS need to do a salary cap dump   .

Wow I'd rather go to the draft with 12, 19, 27, 30 and F1

Shame I think he's worth a look myself

Watch Pies get more for Henry (out of contract) than we do from Jack Graham. 
Here's my plan. 
Pick 8 & 27 for Graham & 30
8, 12, 27 our future second to GWS for those boys.
Still want Jack to stay.

What did we spend 19 on??

Agree

Should Sanderson and Edmund be right then we should walk and go to the draft. Take the long haul

See how GWS deal with that

Callum Twomey reckons Graham is worth a future 2nd rounder.

Keep him for that
People think I want him gone, not true.
What I am saying is that if we get good value, or overs, then make it happen

If we get bent over for Taranto and Hopper, and then get unders for Graham, it's a horrible result

While we would like pick 8, I don't see Port giving it up and dropping back 3 spots in the 2nd round for Graham. That would mean their first live pick wouldn't be until pick 53 given they also have to trade that 2nd rounder for Willie Junior Rioli. Port would want something else going the other way from us.

He’s under contract. Eff of Port or pony up. Simple.

Paddy Dow? I've read it all now 

Paddy can't get a game regularly at Carlton

His brother can't get a game with us. He will fall further down the pecking order now with Taranto and Hopper coming in

I mean seriously
