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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
