Doubts the Blues would give 3 + 8 and still pay him $1mill+ for the next 5 years. We'd be paying him $300k pa for that to be possible.

They don't have a good Trac record for brining in highly touted players only to watch them become injury prone bench warmers eg. Martin, Williams

Can't see it happening.

Would they consider Clarry?

(ducks head...)

Given how much cap space we have, I would happily, happily pay $300 k a year and probably more to get those two picks in the door. Happily 

Bombers getting pick 53 for Stringer

True but they could just draft them no need to pay over that much, reminds me of when Malthouse went to Carlton and got daisy over 

GC do draft them, then they leave for "home" and GC get more draft picks.  They have picks out the ying-yang, they're not as valuable to them as players are, that's why they'll pay what seems to be a high price for other clubs but isn't for them.

Any chance our club will pick up a forward.. it’s only been an issue since 2022!

Van Rooyen, Fritsch, Turner, Petty/Jefferson, Pickett (from Round 4), Chandler, with supply corrections in midfield and off half back.

Compare and contrast with the other 17.

Rioli will be 28 when season starts. that is a crazy price to pay 

Although when do the Suns get good players?? they need to overpay

They also don't need to worry about throwing early picks away due to the production line of their academy.

So they can pay over and still come out winning.

Insane price to pay for Bolton. 

An amazing outcome for Richmond, regarding the totality of their trade period.

It's all about when you bottom out sometimes. Freo and Suns stacked with picks, Tigers have gotten overs on every deal.

Then you've got the opposite end of the spectrum, with sides like the Dogs soon to be shafted on Baz Smith

Richmond have fleece Freo in this deal.  And have so much flexibility now with this and the expected GC trade for Rioli.  Crazy good draft hand.

Tall forwards … JVR, Petty, Turner, Fullarton, Jefferson, Kentfield

Smart forwards… Fritsch, McAdam, Sestan

Small forwards… Pickett, Chandler, Spargo (Kolt) (Laurie) 

that’s enough 

admittedly Petty should play CHB but fills in at CHF 

admittedly Turner is a forward or a defender 

admittedly JVR yet to fully grab the footy but he’s still young 

admittedly Jefferson shows signs but the ghosts of Weideman remain

Freo overpaid for Bolton. A flashy player but he’s no star.   Effectively Freo gave up 2 x first round picks for him.   Wow.  Tigers are Big Winners from this !!! 

The Tigers have cleaned up in this trade period. Perfect timing with Tassie coming in, the nucleus of their next premiership team should probably kick in to finals gear in time for compromised drafts.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with that and most of the commentary this trade period is that the majority of traded players have been obtained at 'overs'. Still, I just don't see a world where Bolton is worth that price, even acknowledging Pick 14 coming back their way. 

Bolton is a nice player to have, but I think he's far from a regular match-winner and isn't often the difference between a win and a loss. 

Freo WC and GC being molested - lucky if any of those players were worth 1 first round pick, let alone 2 for each of them.

GC did well out of the Houston deal though. WC and Port are the biggest losers so far.

alternatively, all of these players will be coming out of contract simultaenously, just as the taswegian franchise joins the competition

I wonder how many of the 2024 All Australian team will be wearing Richmond jumpers next year? 

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if Richmond traded at least a couple from the 18-24 bracket for future 1st round picks and use them to poach top level players next year. 

They are going to be an interesting watch.

What if they sign new deals?

As I mentioned on an earlier thread Richmond will be looking to exchange some of the players drafted with these picks after say two years in the manner of GWS. (Think Tyson and others)

I had thought they might be stymied by the Tasmanian entry but it could in fact be Tasmania itself that is interested in 21 year old players from the Tiges.

Good luck to them. It makes sense

PS Just noticed that Palace Dee posted similar thoughts

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
