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

    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?

    Richmond have become the new Gold Coast in terms of picks:

    Callum Twomey on X: "Shai Bolton is set to join the Dockers. A deal is being finalised this morning for the Richmond premiership star to join Fremantle and is close to being done. Looking likely the Tigers land picks 10 and 11 with other picks changing hands. @traderadio @AFLcomau" / X

    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

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
