Richmond's turn

[Demonator 93]

Here we go again.

Thankfully it's Richmond this time.

Brett Deledio's Tiger deal on hold

[Fat Tony 5,262]

We should offer him a big fat contract if we have room in the cap. At least we would force the Tigers to pay more.

I think Sylvia is also a free agent, so we may have our own trouble.

Didn't we just sign Sylvia at the end of last season? Was it only a one year deal? I forget...

Is there a reason we should start trouble with the Tigers when we will have our own players in that position soon?

[old55 23,687]

I imagine Essendon would be right into him, If say Goddard or Pendlebury go to GWS then St.Kilda or Collingwood will be all over him.

Not at all. We should recruit what we need. It will be interesting to watch the tigers this year. The have been in the shadows since Hardwick. The media will go hard on this.

Watch out for the Tigers this year. I have a feeling about them and I think they are about as ready as we are

An extended trade period that may go for 3 weeks ... that's all we need.

Anyone know what Brett Deledio's movements were during the month of October?

Deep fried Mars bars?

[Allus Monk 568]

More importantly, how good at recruiting is Deledio's old man?

Came home early from a camping trip to Rye back beach i heard whispered!!

We need more class in our midfield, it is definitely our weakness now, and probably one of the worst in the league. Trengove is the only one who looks set to become A-grade, with others showing glimpses but being inconsistent form or injury wise. With the loss of he who shan't be named, getting Deledio or Pendlebury at the end of this season would be perfect for us going forward.

Which is exactly why we need to aim to play in september 2012 otherwise these A grade players we need will not even consider playing at Melbourne.

Making the 8 this year is important.

The spectre of favourite son Malthouse plotting a return to coaching will dog Hardwick and the Toiges at every turn this year.

Good!

I was on the same plane as him flying to L.A in early October. I thought it was strange he was only flying economy class. Could be he is a little bit of a miser and is looking for more money.

Wow. WHat a breathtakingly stupid post, What were you doing in economy you cheapskate....

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

I for one am looking forward to a season in which we don't have to seriously worry about clubs poaching our players. With GC in 2010 and GW$ last year, it will be nice knowing that no member of our team is signed somewhere else for 2013.

And it's a bit of schadenfreude watching this happen to other teams....

The Tigers SEVERELY lack depth. And their entire season is reliant on the fitness of 3 players, Deledio, Cotchin and Reiwoldt. They have very little else. I know and have watched on a weekly basis for 3 years all of their young kids and fringe players (bar this yea's crop of draftees) and I am not impressed. In fact, that's an understatement. They are an injury or 2 to the above players away from weekly embarrassment.

Edit: Would actually like to be proven wrong as I like these boys as people. Just not sure how the hell they ended up with such a strangely deficient list with so much opportunity to rebuild.

2nd edit: Forgot Dustin Martin, he's not bad either.
