Vlastuin

When you offload your better players, have to be careful not to trade out the soul. North Melbourne did this and they are stuffed. Essendon lost their soul with the drugs saga. Both been stuffed.

I think traded Vlastuin we lose some of that soul we built in the dynasty years. Same if we traded Broad or Nank. But Balta, Hopper and even TT I don't think we lose anything we can't get back in the draft.

The guy who was made a life member today was traded after 250 games and being at the club since he was 17.

Then Richmond won 3 flags

True, but I'd be pretty confident in saying Lids wasn't the heart and soul of the place. I loved watching Lids and had the number 3 on my back when he was drafted but I don't think he was enormously heart and soul player. But you make a good point.

Seth Campbell.  Sell high. 
Reckon he's a dud

Well seeing he only singed a 4 year contract extension a month or so back I think it reasonable to assume he isn't on the trade table

I do agree outside of perhaps cotchin,

Vlastuin is the most 'heart and soul' player the club has had in the modern era

Apparently rumors Hopper wants out.

Might be win - win

If that’s true, I’m sure the club would happily facilitate and even contribute a decent chunk from his salary. Doubt they’d ask for much in return either, maybe something like a future 2nd rounder.

Nothing against the guy, he’s had a good individual season, but don’t think any of the experienced are worth holding to contracts if they want out.

Agree
Shame Tassie isn't coming in next year

Man I know some of you don’t like Campbell and he’s become this sorta polarising figure with some praising him and some being overly critical but to call him a dud is pretty wild.

He’s 20 years old and was a a rookie draft pickup. I’m just his second season he has finished as our leading goal kicker, playing as a small fwd in the by far lowest scoring team in the league.

Lmfao comparing lids to floss, trading balta Campbell.

This is the funniest thread in a while this one.

I was in the camp of trading hopper, but now I would hold him and TT for another year at least.

We need them to protect our kids coming through.

Who was the better player?

Deledio or Vlastuin?

Why can't prestia Ross and Vlastuin protect the kids?

They are not a special needs school.

Would be mad to reject draft good draft assets for hop and tt at this stage of the rebuild

Prime Lids was better. People forget how seriously good he was.

And it/s nothing against Floss, who is my favourite player.
