GWS now will have some cap space with Cameron, Corr, Williams, Caldwell, Hately and others gone. It needs to be used and Preuss and Tom MAC would be useful additions so we won’t be paying any of their salaries, IMO, it is just the trade we get. That said, Tom may be Bomber bound. They have space with Saad and Joe and others leaving. Personally I would prefer him to go to GWS as they don’t have Dodoro.

Don’t worry about the pick, it will be pick 90 if they offload most of his salary. Can’t have it both ways. Again like some other players, there are other issues. These and cap room all need to be evaluated. Personally I would only look at my early suggestion for him, worse than pick 50 and Pies to pay $400-500 k of his salary for every one of the five years left on his contract. If not, we don’t consider it. Even at $400k for 5 years and with his issues, it could be a problem. Actually, on reflection it is probably all too hard, pass. PS. I can see him being traded at the last minute, on a heavily favourable deal to the buyer, or staying at the Pies.

Treloar.

Could ET be about to "dust" off his cobwebs with the biggest trade of all.

Under my fantasy proposal, we would be paying him only about $300-$400 k a year.

My absolute favourite post of the day so far.

No not yet, but he is just about to.

We should help the Pies out. Offer pick 50 and they pay $500k of his salary for the each of the next 5 years.

I would take him for pick 50 and Pies paying $500k of his salary each year for the next 5 years.

If not he stays and gets paid for 5 years or leaves/retires and gets paid anyway.

It could. Don't think his team mates or prospective recruits would like a 5 year to go contract just ignored.

With his being lured from GWS, his wife playing Netball in Queensland and his mental health issues, this is a big call actively pushing him out the door. Not sure his team mates will like the optics, nor some Player Managers who will be wary of the Pies promises to their players. This type of action can be a culture killer.

But at least you’re first with news.

This could be our biggest list turnover in ages.

He is cheeky.

I agree.

But we already have the name Brown on our list.

Simple philosophy really. Everything they sell is pure gold and what they buy is pure rubbish. That is if you measure it by the demand or offer.

Journos now linking Cameron deal and Clark to Dockers and Jesse to GWS. Interesting few weeks coming up.

Didn’t KK cop another head knock or two with us? Definitely got one in a game and possibly another in training, or a scratch match as I recall.

No hope of getting Bolton now, unlike the possibility a few years ago, when I suggested it on here, when he was playing in the seconds. I also suggested MacKintosh a couple of years ago, when he was looking at leaving, but it didn’t get much support on DL.

My favourite post of the weekend, it brings hope.

Yes all true, but what if we had taken say the mercenary and Dusty as our picks. Would the Tigers have won 3 flags without Dusty, maybe not. I was just illustrating the point that a small decision can change so much. I am not suggesting that having Dusty would have got us success, but rather affected Richmond’s chances of it. Anyway it is what it is.

Yep. We tanked to get 1 and 2 in draft and he went 3.

Tigers should build a statue of Barry Prendergast.
