Q: Any chance of the Tigers actually trying something? Several other clubs hugely creative, doing deals to get themselves up the order, but not the Tigers
A: I find the Tigers fascinating. They are obviously neither selling nor buying, Jacob Koschizkte aside. That seems to say they think they can push up the ladder and Brendon Gale has been public in saying he doesn't really believe in bottoming out. If Tom Lynch is fit and Josh Gibcus can play some footy, the Tigers will likely be better than last year but is that enough to make finals? The Tigers are even holding form on keeping Ivan Soldo, a player that does have some trade value. All quiet at the moment at Punt Road...
Q: Any mature f/agent ruckmen floating around? If so, could Tigers sign that ruckmen, then send Soldo to Port for Duursma? Soldo solid, but he ain't Cox/Gawn
A: Would you take Scott Lycett or Sam Hayes? Rhys Stanley is staying at Geelong and so to it seems is Braydon Preuss at GWS, while most others are locked up. I like your thinking to try and maximise on what you have and the idea of trying to get Duursma back is good thinking but at this stage he has only shown interest in Essendon. Worth making these calls if you are Richmond though!
