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

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
