Should Richmond chase after Daniel Kerr?

[blaisee]

From what I have heard we will offer our first round draft pick plus a second round pick we have obtained from trading Schulz to secure Kerr. I was very upset when I heard this but the more I think of it at 24 he would be worth a first round pick around 6 - 9.

Interesting trade period. Lots of teams will be looking for draft picks and be willing to off load players to get them.

Stripes

Would like to know where you get you mail from, ????? As it is 98% right.    1st Round pick and Schultz and one other player
Interesting that RFC leaks like a siv  . Might just add I dont agree with getting Kerr either, we need SIZE in our team, not MIDGETS

we are not interested in Kerr, and never will be.

You have no credibility when it comes to being critical because that is all you do.


Maybe its too much of the old  and your head has gone to mush

You normally throw these in  and these  to make your point.

Its all a bit incoherent to me, maybe thats why were sacked from Richmond!!!

He wasn't sacked they just stopped paying him.

Is that serious?

If so, that is actually pretty ordinary. 

Maybe they should that with miller

Not having a go at you Stripes as you've only posted what you've heard but if we do that then we've effectively traded ourselves out of the last untampered draft for one player who'll be 26 when he'd start playing for us. That's how we ended up with the hole in our list in the first place. There are some good kids in this draft especially in the top 10 or so and mostly types we need who will play for us for the next decade. Rebuilding clubs should not give up early picks.

You'd think so.

However, in 2011, our premiership year according to Wallace himself, Kerr will be 28   

[Infamy]

The stupid thing is, Kerr was taken at Pick 18 back in 2000
The picks we'd give up for him are far better than that, so who's to say that with Francis Jackson & now Craig Cameron on board, that we can't get a better return on our first two picks than Daniel Kerr and theyd play for us for 10 years, not 4.

We offered Pick 2, 18 & 35 for Judd and instead we got Cotchin, Rance & Morton, I know which one I'd prefer every time and it isn't Judd.
Same goes for Kerr.

LOL don't be a smartypants 

2011 is supposed to be when the list reaches a maturity to only start playing finals consistently and challenge. We need guys who are hitting their peak in 3-4 years time. Most mids start to slow down as they approach 30 from all those years of wear and tear. Just think of Sugar, Cambo and Knighter at the Tiges. The kid(s) we pick up this year early on in the draft especially will be into the 3rd year by 2011 and still have plenty of  upside and years ahead of them.

I agree with you mightytiges, I was disappointed when I heard the rumour too as I believe the same way you do. From what its worth the rumour apparently came from Miller himself and why it wasn't definative it was certainly mentioned. I'm not one to make outlandish claims but this one rang true too me when I heard it which is why I was so annoyed when I first heard it.

I still think adding Kerr into the mix with Lids, Cotch, Foley, White and co. who is only four years Lids & Foley's senior and still has at least 5-7 years left in the bank could be a good thing. It's just what we would have to give up for him that worries me and is the sort of thing Miller unfortunately would do. Miller isn't in control of trading and drafting exclusively any longer so hope the trade doesn't eventuate or at least we still have a first round draft pick at the end of it.

Just lock Miller in a cardboard between September and November lol.

If we want Kerr it will cost our first round pick at least so as you say Stripes let's hope the trade doesn't eventuate. Keep the picks and leave the recruiting to Francis Jackson and Craig Cameron.

Not specifically on the subject of Kerr, but we cant claim to be in a development phase indefinetely. Sooner or later we'll start to prioritise trades for other clubs players than early picks. Thats the only game Miller knows and I dont think Wallace disapproves either.

When you've got a 5 year contract, project players and recruiting young talent is a no brainer. When you're into your last year of your contract, the temptation to go after a Kerr is much higher.


   

[dereel-tiger]

kerr would be a great pick up if we where in the top 4,and needed a midfielder to get us closer to the cup.
but he doesnt meet our criteria for age ,and also we have a similar type of player in foley ,we need attacking midfielders .

Agree 1980 that we can't be in a development phase forever but when Wallace and co. have publicly talked up the fact the list won't start to mature fully until 2011 when the like of Lids, Foley, etc are in the their mid 20s, that we won't trade for players over 24, and that we won't trade out of the first round, then Kerr shouldn't be in the target zone come trade week.

Eagles would want 2 first round draft picks for Kerr

Kerr's man talks to six Vic clubs
Brent Diamond | August 17, 2008

WEST Coast midfielder Daniel Kerr's management has given the strongest indication yet that the 155-game premiership player is seeking to move to Victoria next season.

The Sunday Age understands that Kerr's manager, Colin Young, has already spoken informally with up to six Victorian clubs, including Carlton.

Speculation that Kerr wants out of West Coast has been strongly denied by both the West Coast Eagles and Kerr, with the club saying it would demand at least two first-round draft picks for its best midfielder.

However, Young said he was expecting a flurry of offers come the October trade period.
