Trade talk, rumours & innuendo 2023

[Francois Jackson]

Never trade back into the draft or take it seriously paid overs for Hopper & probably Taranto as well when they both were uncontracted and wanted to leave and GWS didn't really care if they did, hung on to Ralphsmith & Graham when they were wanted.  Re-sign list cloggers & over the hill plodders - still think we have a premiership list, trying to be Geelong/Sydney when we don't have their advantages - past their prime and clearly delusional.

well said. Been on this for a while now.

if 2021 draft is a flop, and we hold on to duds as it appears we are doing so then we are in real strife.

Agree many eggs in the 2021 basket but they all have shown something so far. 2006-2009 produced Shedda, Jack, Cotch, Rance and Dusty. Let’s hope 2021 is the start of that next generation

Melbourne, Adelaide & North Melbourne are all keen on Gold Coast's pick 10.

It seems we aren't seeking to move up the draft order into the first round.

[Francois Jackson]

We are in all sorts. As expected though. Still hoping meatball would announce a trade to GC

Can we give away next years first can we to get this years?

Not that i'm for that but is that even an option?

If Gibcus becomes an A grade forward and Brown becomes an A grade defender maybe. Otherwise it just isn't happening.

I know most kids take time to show something but this bunch generally hasn't shown us much.

James Harmes off to the Bulldogs for a future third rounder. So the rumour of him being linked to us was false.

Ben McKay walks as a FA to Essendon. Norf get pick 3 as compo.

[one-eyed]

Richmond never showed interest in James Harmes.

Rumours only began because of his link with Yze.

Richmond don’t plan to attack this off season due to the coaching staff and list management believing in the list already.

the interest in a first round pick has died drastically, but a potential move hasn’t be completely ruled out either.

Q. Any news on Richmond, they've been quiet

A. Expect it to stay that way other than the Koschitzke move, which Hawks are reportedly driving a hard bargain on. Tigers only have picks 27 and 48 - the second-worst of any club - after last year's Hopper-Taranto splash move.

Final bit of Tiger news today as the mail received was quite heavy.

Richmond do have interest in attacking free agency next year to lock up the wing position.

No specific players were mentioned but it’ll be of priority alongside securing Jack Riewoldt’s successor.

I just see us reluctant to put players and clear players of value on the table who we can cover or there time is up for trade. So you tell me there isn't a strategy to improve our draft position bewildering. The club needs to show some courage and evolving.

[Gigantor]

I know we are all entitled to our opinion, and discussion by us the grass root does move things along at times at club level.
But I look at it this way . Who’s more likely to be right a passionate Schmuk supporter like me or the club with it’s paid professionals and with people like Brendon Gale and Neil Balme who are also passionate supporters of the club.
I’m happy to give these guys and the new ones more time to get it right once again

schulz if he does go the pies for 19, which really is 23 is an absolute bargain. Hartley sleeping again. ooh thats right we have the list to contend as i read today somewhere

you know you are struggling if you cant entice anyone but Kosi.

Who do you think we are missing out on?
Please don’t say Schultz

i never said schulz i said at pick 23 its a bargain. Wake up please. 35 goals this year and likely around the same the year before and thats the similar to bolton. Great pick up if it lands at that price

what i did say is hartley is doine sfa because as i read somewhere they are happy with the list we have. Our forward line must be locked and loaded with smalls as well.

Harmes for a F3 is solid depth.

And P3 compo for McKay bloody hell that's corruption. As bad as Geelol getting that sweet pick for Motlopnto make the Gablett whinge return happen.

Also found WB move interesting securing P4 for 10+17+F1 I think it was? Seems a high price but they must really expect themselves to bounce back into the top 6 next year.
