"Brisbane is understood to be entertaining trading midfielder Daniel Rich to West Coast for the Eagles' No. 1 pick in the national draft - the No. 4 pick overall."

Should we meet with the Lions? I'm tipping pick 12 wont do it, so who do we lose?

Edit: Changed our pick to it's correct position (to keep G2W happy!).

interesting they are thinking of trading one of their quality youngsters!...THought they would offer one of the older boys who wont be around when Rich is at his peak.

Rich has peaked. Won't get any better than his '09 form.

Eagles won't throw away their pick. They're just floating it around.

haha Rich has peaked. never thought id see someone peak in there 1st year.

I admit i can't tell the future but im fairly sure he will be a star

many players struggle with tags in their second year

The word is That Rich is a beautiful kick, but he doesn't get the Ball...That's why the Bears have put him up as a possibility....They are a club in Serious Trouble Brisbane.

Neither can I.

But he's 20 and filled out massively already. Won't gain any more pace than what he's got already. There's not much upside IMO.

Good player though.

The question mark about Rich has always been his upside. That's why he slipped to pick 7.

If the rumor is true, the Lions are is serious trouble; loyalty/player relations aint on the page at Brisbane. If they don't trade him, he may well walk when he can.

Then again, he may want a trade such is the state of Brisbane.

Won't gain any more pace?

Love it when people make the most ridiculous statements backed by no knowledge of the subject they speak about.

Any player can improve their speed... I hope you understand that. Do you think sprinters end their careers after they receive

a personal best?

People are ridiculous on this forum.

The kid was taken in the same year as Watts and some are saying that he has peeked...

Brainless.

I doubt it will happen, but i would love to see Daniel Rich Running through the center of the MCG for the Demons.

Brisbane is not a place to nurture any talent at the moment. Someone will get a bargain if he is let go.

Is he a trade option? We have absolutely no idea. One thing can be sure though, our FD would know, and I would like to think that if it is true, they are seriously considering our options. While he may not have as much upside as say Tom Scully, he is still a very good footballer, and if we are going to chase someone this trade period, I would rather him than Mundy.

Personally, I think if we are going to use our first pick as trade bait, it will be for a Full Forward, unless we could get the Big Q for a steal (very late pick/PSD pick).

Rich would be a perfect addition to our midfield, hard, inside player who can hit a forward target like no-one else his age.

Ouch.

I know players can improve their speed. But Rich?

I'm just saying I think it'll be hard for him to top his sensational 2009.

Just my opinion. No need to fly off the handle over it.

Yeah but we're about to enter a phase where we're going to reduce the No of interchanges, as its going to make the game to Monocultured.

Less interchange players may well bring back the advantage of strong endurance players. But you'll still need to be able to win your own footy & use it.

If they are contemplating trading Rich he must be homesick or does'nt get along with Voss. The Lion's would be absolutely crazy to trade him just for the heck of gaining Pick 4 from West Coast.

If I were West Coast I would give up Pick 4 in a flash!!!

Left footers are GOLD...

If Rich was open to a trade to Melbourne. Pick 12 and a player probably would'nt do it!

So I would suggest we trade possibly Morton and an exchange of 2nd round draft picks to the Eagles for Pick 4. Then on trade Pick 4 to the Lions for Rich. Heck! Morton and a player.

Do I rate Morton! Yes and No. I think he will be a good player in time. But no Adam Goodes! Rich is line breaking with an exceptional kick and tackles well. Will be a punishing great player. His average season after a great first season is the least of my worries.

2nd year yips is nothing unusual.

werent we shopping for a forward? Seems to have been the message from Prendergast etc

Rich pickings for sure...but we arent going to be looking there.

I must agree with some of the sentiment, Rich fell to number 7 because his ceiling just isn't nearly as high as it should be.

That said - killer left boot, quality midfield

Downside - Daniel Rick a la '09, '10,

Upside - Even better footballer

If it is at all possible without breaking the bank do it.

I get the feeling Rich's value has dropped, to probably somewhere around 20ish. Maric + our 2nd Rnd-er.

I dont think your deal would be likely. Far off I think!

I would trade Pick 12 & Maric. They would want Bennell or Jetta though.

I would be very confident Pick 12 & Bennel would get it done. Prefer to keep Bennell though. Maric is Victorian and would be unlikely to want to go West. Maric would be my first preferece to trade out of a smaller players.

Maric to Essendon for Alwyn Davey.

Pick 12 & Alwyn Davey to West Coast for Pick 4. They get the small player they need.

I wouldn't use Pick 12 for Rich now. And I wouldn't trade out Bennell, or Jetta. Both, IMO will be very good players.

I'd like Rich with us, but not critical.

*However I'd like Jayden Pitt, or someone of his Ilk.

Brisbane seem to be taking their 'list clean out' a bit far.

And they seem to be doing it from the wrong end, too.

Rich would be a decent addition, no doubt. However, I think the FD would be content with what they have to work with.

It's not likely that Rich would be interested anyway.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
