RICHMOND

WHERE THEY'RE AT

Still rebuilding under Terry Wallace so focus again expected to be on finding good kids. Unlikely to give up pick No.8 unless for a blockbuster deal.

IN THE MIX

Rival clubs have inquired about Andrew Krakouer and Greg Tivendale so something could happen there. Rory Hilton and Shane Morrison's days at Punt Rd are over so they will be looking for a lifeline next week.

WHO THEY WANT

Have been linked to Carlton star Brendan Fevola with Wallace dreaming of a forward structure involving Fev in the square, Nathan Brown beside him in the pocket and Matthew Richardson at centre half-forward. A hard nosed small defender such as Essendon's Andrew Welsh is also on the wish list.

WHAT'S LIKELY

Always seemed to get involved this time of year with Wallace definitely a coach who believes in reviving careers with fresh starts. Doubt whether have salary cap room to go for big name.

DRAFT PICKS: 8, 24, 40, 56, 72, 88.


Essendon - WHO THEY WANT

Anyone with pace. Richmond's Greg Tivendale has been linked in a deal for Welsh.

Don't know what else we could give the Dons for Welsh, Tivendale by himself won't do it.

The article just appears to be a rehash of all the trade rumours that have been going around for weeks.

If we were the Bombers would we trade Welsh for Tivs on form this year? Nup!   

Doubt whether have salary cap room to go for big name.

Our finances will dictate if we have room for a big name not our salary cap. Sheesh we're paying 94% of the salary cap at the most. Apparently Richo wasn't made a veteran this year even though he was eligible because halving his salary would of dipped us below the minimum TPP of 92.5%. There's plenty of room under the cap which is a first in a long while.

Sportal premium says Welsh for our picks 24 + 40 is rumoured ???.

It's a paid service so I don't know what else they say for Richmond. This was posted on bomberblitz.

Sunday HUN (october 2nd 2005) says on page 42 that "Essendon has declared Andrew Welsh off limits".

In Palmer's Punchline on page 46 Scotty says "Discount speculation that Richmond will offer up improved Andrew Krakouer as a trade - it wont' happen" and regarding Greg Stafford" "Verteran ruckman and new dad Greg Stafford is mulling over whether to accept the one year contract on the table at Richmond or follow Wayne Campbell into retirement. Coach Terry Wallace will need an answer fairly soon but expects Stafford will play on" (page 46 2/10/05 Sunday HUN)

Have to say that I wouldn't mind Ryan O'Keffe from the Swans if was to become available

The Herald-Sun again mentioned Tivs for Welsh. I can't believe this story has legs when nearly everyone is dismissing it. Robert Shaw, former bomber assistant coach, was on SEN yesterday and didn't believe it.

It's interesting the only ones not to come about and say it's crap are Essendon themselves ???.

maybe its because it just could be true, we hope anyway!!!!

A grab from Sheeds today said Welsh won't be leaving Essendon as he's in their leadership group.

I still hope the Hunt and Alvey trade idea is crap

Elsewhere, Essendon offered up Ted Richards and Mark Bolton to Richmond for the Tigers' first selection in the national draft, No. 8, but were rebuffed.

Ahhh.... no thanks Sheeds .

[cub]

I dont think Tigers and Bombers are going to get to far with trades after last years effort and the Miller Sheedy love affair - LMAO 

[PuntRdRoar]

Miller must hold his nerve. If he does he'll be getting the vaseline out on Friday and doing to the blues what he did to the pussies last year...Hold your nerve Greg and then go Bang! We dont need to cough up 8 for Fevola...24 and Hall should do it at about 1pm on Friday

[mightytiges]

Agree RT. I reckon the Blues are bluffing too.

Latest rumour on SEN from a Bulldog supporter "in the know" - Patrick Bowden for a pick.

Wow, goodie etc......


4th round I hope 

Actually it may not be that bad because I reckon he'll be cheaper this year than last year
