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: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
