Trade talk, rumours & innuendo 2024

[Andyy]

People have been sprucing trading out top players to get draft picks. Now we get some random media speculation (channel 10 mins you who haven’t had a reliable footy scoop in 20 years), same people start fuming. I don’t get it.

If we truly cared about draft picks we wouldnt have hopper languishing around the place.

Some players I don't think should be traded and he Rioli is one, unless it's an offer you can't refuse.

Baker I wouldn't have an issue with and def short. That should give us 2 top 15 picks. Get rid of Hopper and that's 3.

The way we're going we may need to package a pick with Hopper to offload his wages for a FA lol

[Francois Jackson]

Wouldn't surprise Andy  if he may want to leave given the circumstances he ended up at ours.

We need to get active on FA big time. We need talent both young and old. Even Nank is pushing 30 now as well ffs.

Will be hard to prize FA talent compared with the likes of pies unlsss we offer the farm, but we must  to remain relevant and to use up a salary cap which should be bare soon.

Not sure we'd get a top 15 pick for any of them, definitely not Short or Hopper.

Only players with any real currency would be Bolton and Taranto

na would have thought Baker as well but most definitely D Rioli. The latter would be worth a top 10 any day of the week in my book. Look what pies gave up for Schulz.

Problem is nobody would want to trade him in on performance so it would need to be like the Geelong taking Bowes deal. If a team has cap space and wants to hit the draft we'll need to package him with a pick that makes it worth their while to pay him $700k for 5 stuffing years lol.

Why in gods name would we do that? Our salary cap will be bare especially with dusty, Prestias and Lynchys contracts done. If anything we should be front loading who has remained while we are down on talent so that when we make our way up the ladder we’ll have optimal cap to bring in FA’s.

Oh I agree re: not needing the cap.

Just don't know if Hopper is going to be worth it and FJ posited he may want to leave anyway.

Richmond will fight tooth and nail to keep two of its biggest stars at Punt Road beyond this year.
