Whispers say he is out the door.... ha, no idea on that one at all really.

However, I have always rated him and although he fluctuates from a C to an A grade on his day, I think he'd compliment our midfield quite nicely.

    He's always had trouble breaking a tag, and he's slow. Nevertheless, his left leg is a cannon and if he can be one of a fleet of on-ballers he'd be handy.

    Would take him in a heartbeat... could be like Green who was disinterested at the Lions and since moving to the Bummers, has really stepped up (and I rate him much more highly than Green).

    Does he fit Goodwin's attacking style?

    would play half-back distributor for us you'd think - he is not nearly quick enough to run through the middle

    i was sure he signed a new contract relatively recently and would not qualify as a free agent; what's he worth on the open market? about the same as hibberd / melksham - a second round pick?

    edit: he signed a 5 year, $3m contract at the beginning of the 2016 season, so he'd have three years left on his contract at the conclusion of 2017 presumably

    Did you get those whipsers from the Buckenara article?  He only suggested he could be someone of currency that they could trade.

    Either way I have little interest in him.

    You now need pace off half back, otherwise forward pressure will close you down. Hibberd is quick enough and strong enough to run past the pressure and find space. Not sure Rich had the same ability.

    Would rival Brayshaw for the biggest head at the club if he joined us.

    Is he an upgrade over what we already have? Not overly quick, but good kick. 

    He's actually a player I recall at the time that he was drafted where the 'experts' questioned how much more development/upside he had in him, but still ranked as top draft pick... but slid to Brisbane in the end as a 'bargain'

    ... experts probably got it right!

    Pretty sure @dazzledavey36 rated him last year too.

    I havent seen much of Rich this year, but wouldnt he just be another foot soldier? I would prefer some pace.

  • Quote

    I thought Rich was the ducks nuts in his first couple of seasons. That laser left foot of his is a real weapon. Can go over defences and hit up a target. But as others have said he is slow and if he can't find space his value is negligible. Daniel turns 28 next year so would be close to his twilight years for any team to pick him up. He should see out his career as a one club player

    read me like a book...not the I read it, just the headline. I swooned over him in his first few years.

    I thought so.  Buckenara was only suggesting that Rich can be used as trade bait if they are looking to add more picks, he didn't say he has heard anything about him wanting out.

    Would he?  I really don't think he would be best 22 and I highly doubt he would leave to run around at Casey.

After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
