Looks like the Tigers and their fans are only talking duds. Bowden, Holland, Hall, Richo (well, he's OK, but past it a bit).
We're obviously soft touches in their eyes.

Holland would have to be tossed in, ie the sweetener, but not one of the prime bargaining chips.
Ottens is the only player at the Tigers I would be interested in.
Failing that picks 6 and 22 would be my next best scenario (I'm of the opinion we should rebuild from the ground up with Murph and co the foundations rather than the elite 5). So if we could get that and they want to toss Holland in to secure it in case another club chimes in with a tempting offer then maybe. Holland isn't very good and just because he is tall doesn't mean he is what w need either.

I know Clayton has often mentioned building the list from the ground up but in this case I dont really want two picks on top of the 3 early ones we already have. I don't think we have the resources to have so many developing types at the same time and to do them justice. An early pick and a player is the way I would go. If we are to get involved in a 3 way trade then it should not be too difficult to achieve it. I'm not sure about Holland but he did play well against us which must be in the clubs mind plus if the Tigers want Brown then they would need to offload some salary to fit him in.

We don't have to use the draft picks on kids we can on trade them to secure other more established talent. It's just that I don't see Richmond having very much quality to offer us so in that case take the picks rather than the duds. (ie on trade pick 22 to Lions for McDonald etc)
