Trade talk, rumours & innuendo 2023

Freeing up salary was touted as one reason Richmond could move on from Martin, with the space used to turbocharge the club’s rebuild.

But Gale said Richmond would have room to move in the cap at the end of this season, with retiring pair Riewoldt and Cotchin off the books.

“We will have some space,” he said.

Tell you what if Norf gets a first round pick for Ben McKay it will be an absolute joke.  He's no good.

You can blame the teams that are offering him 800k+ a season.

I wouldn’t mind Larkey playing for us

Of which we're one....

That'd be the multi-Logie winning Larkey?

Mick McGuane on who your club could lose and where they could be headed

RICHMOND

Ruckman Ivan Soldo is 27 years old and he has probably got to a point in his career where he is sick and tired of being second-fiddle to Toby Nankervis.

While Soldo is still contracted for next year, the Tigers couldn’t begrudge him if he wanted to leave.

Geelong could be the perfect fit for Soldo, given Rhys Stanley is not getting any younger and Jonathon Ceglar has retired.

The Tigers would be keen to improve their draft hand this year and giving up Soldo could allow them to do that.

Out-of-contract key forward Jacob Bauer could also receive interest from clubs, having shown glimpses of his talent this year.

Mitch Cleary floated the possibility of 27-year-old Richmond ruckman Ivan Soldo heading down the highway after he considered a trade move to GWS last off-season.

Thought Soldo was excellent last week, he showed real agression with the hit outs and played well up forward. Could have kicked 4.

From Mick McGuane in the HeraldSun:

My mail is that free-agent Jack Silvagni (Carlton) wants to work something out and stay at Princes Park, despite still not having a contract offer. But if I was Richmond, I’d be seeing if I could lure him to Punt Rd. With the retirement of Jack Riewoldt, the Tigers could do with another marking forward to support Tom Lynch and the 25-year-old Silvangi could be an answer. If the Tigers were to lose Ivan Soldo, Silvagni could also be handy as a back-up ruckman to Toby Nankervis.

Harrison Jones (Essendon) might need a fresh start. Since bursting onto the scene in 2021, the key forward hasn’t done a lot and needs to ask himself how serious he is about his footy. There is clear upside there if another club can secure Jones and get the best out of him and his body, which has had its injury issues. He’s an athletic 196cm lead-up forward, which are hard to find. Jones could fit in well at a club like Richmond, following Jack Riewoldt’s retirement.

Forward Jade Gresham (St Kilda) is still without a contract for 2024 and there are three clubs who should be having a good, hard look at him. They are Hawthorn, Richmond and Carlton. The word is that Gresham wants to play more games at the MCG and those three clubs are all regular tenants of the home of football. Gresham hasn’t had his best season this year, but he has just turned 26 and has still averaged 17.4 disposals and a goal a game for the Saints.

Silvagni no thanks.

Gresham could actually be useful given our crappy small forward stocks.

As for the other tall bloke well we don't have much going on there either but he's not exactly getting a game for a middling club already is he
