No if we trade future 1st we can't trade any other future picks and vice versa.

Would you do Brayshaw for Billings? https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_player_compare?playerStatus1=A&tid1=12&playerStatus2=A&tid2=16&type=A&pid1=4037&pid2=3920&fid1=C&fid2=C

@Ethan Tremblay is a spoof account from the username, to avatar and humourous posting. He might rightly satirize and few full on posters now and then. It get tricky for him when he want to make a serious point.

Congratulations to the Martin Football Club on their 3rd flag. Dusty has a strong claim to GOAT and he has a few years ahead to cement it. Those 4 genius goals from nothing were magic. Richmond might have one flag without him. I'm the bearer of unpleasant tidings this week but the fact is that to win that GF, after that pre half time resuscitation goal from Dusty, Chris Scott needed to instruct Blitz to come off the line Mark Yeates style at the start of the third. Dimma couldn't complain because it's straight out of his playbook.

Here's two unpopular opinions: I like Dangerfield. He's a great player, great to watch and he gives his all. I don't blame Scully for going to GWS. We were a disaster area and the offer was just too big to refuse. He would have been mad not to take it. I don't buy the "lying to big Jimma on his deathbed" lament either, Scully was in a no win situation there.

The problem with your posting is that you're the king of criticism and the pauper of solutions. You've got nothing except critique.

Some incredible handball highlights in that package. Good kick on both sides and great agility. 184cm is not small.

Ease up tiger, we won 6 flags and played in 8 GFs in an 11 year stretch in finals - they are MILES off that. You can add a 3 dud seasons on either end to make it up to 14 and we still smash them

The Football Manager and the Coach will report periodically to the Board, he is Football Director is there to understand and interpret the message. Modern football is very complex and it requires a deep understanding.

See this is where you're showing you have no idea about what the Board does. Except for an Executive Director the Board does not have executive roles. If Green was working directly with the FD he would be closer to being an executive.

If we're bringing in quality someone has to go to balance the salary cap books. It's TMac for Brown, and if not there'll be further unexpected trades required. if we're bringing in some combination or even one of Smith, Phillips and Polec someone has to give and Harmes is nice to have and the most expendable quality we have. If you think trade out after this year's result is TMac, Preuss and fringe, then I recommend think again.

Thread should be on Trade and Draft board.

I think they need to win today or things will start to come apart at the seams. Most clubs would love their continuous contending but it's situation normal for them and they'll definitely see 2nd as failure. There will be massive pressure on Chris Scott and at least some of the players will start to doubt the message. No doubt they'll be thereabouts for the next couple of years but that won't be enough. Closing on 10 years bridesmaids. There will be a big winner today, but there will be a big loser too.

2021 flag, Coleman with 5 goals vs 18th for 3 years.

Geelong have defied AFL gravity for a long time through great management, but just like Brisbane, Sydney and Hawthorn their fall is coming.

Amazed you're a fan, what with "186", "history of cultural failure", Norm Smith yada-yada. But then you don't understand the role. Have a read of @Lucifer's Hero and @deanox posts for a clear understanding.

Calling @Elegt - start saving for that membership

Rapt if this the case. I love Nev and want to see the best for him and if that was a longer contract at Collingwood then so be it. But even better if he's staying with us.

As Peggy O'Neill said recently: Richmond are in the business of creating a successful football product (or similar, quote not exact). Modern football is exremely technical. The FD will report progress and performance to the Board. They need expertise to help interpret and evaluate the message.

I rate him and would like to have seen him tried at wing or HB but there must be reasons why the FD believe he wouldn't make it there. in interviews he seems like a good guy, I hope he has a decent career at the Dogs, I think Beveridge is a very good mentor. We'll get a future 4th for him.

So there's a dysfunctional relationship between NMFC and Ben Brown? Take a good look at NMFC right now and tell me which one is likely to be dysfunctional.

Luke Jackson. How many Port or Brisbane forwards would displace current Richmond or Geelong forwards?

Why not - we're the traditional home of the dud brother. Trade Angus to Freo and list Hamish DFA and we're back in form.

and waste the rest?

Look I'm a big Weid fan but the facts are he's behind where Hawkins, Kennedy, Dixon and Lynch were at the same age. That's at least partly explainable because the KPF role is way harder now than it was 5 years ago for Lynch let alone 10 years ago for the other three. I think that it's unlikely that Weid takes the role by the scruff next year and where the club is at, that's what we need someone to do. The best 3 teams this year have that someone and Brisbane are chasing Daniher. I think we need to pull the trigger on Brown and sort out "too many options" as the season progresses. Someone may get injured - who knows? I'd prefer we have a choice.
