All midfielders, the two Darcy lads can play off the half backForwards or backs?
I wouldn't mind the idea of Hawkins and a boyd forward line but reckon we won't be able to afford him since we need to re-sign our young big names.Anyone fancy Tom Hawkins as a free agent next year? Would piss off the rest of the competition so much that we'd become more hated than Sydney & dare I say, Essendon. It'd be pretty fantastic.
Considering we were crazy enough to go after Boyd the way we did, I actually rate Hawkins a 0.5-1% chance of happening.
Rance is probably the one we'll go for though.

unless hes dad chats him up to leave bomberdNow that Hird is safe, am guessing Carlisle will be a Bomber after 2015.
Fingers crossed...unless hes dad chats him up to leave bomberd
He'd think about it if a club offered 1.2 million a year.Hawkins will be off the market soon enough. No way is he leaving Geelong.
Out of curiosity, what do you think someone like Rance would command?He'd think about it if a club offered 1.2 million a year.
I'd say it's a huge possibility if Geelong get Dangerfield, who will definitely command at least 1 million a year.
Not us though.
I'd love to upset the apple cart like that again, even if it's not Hawkins. The outrage when we landed Boyd was hysterical.Anyone fancy Tom Hawkins as a free agent next year?

Do you think Rance is a possibility? I don't think the prospect of success is going to keep him at Richmond, their list peaked in 2013. A nice contract could do the trick.
Would 500k be thinking in terms too small?Out of curiosity, what do you think someone like Rance would command?

He is one of the best defenders in the competition, and flexible as well.Think history has shown you pay a premium for a player as a FA. If he's on $500K, then you'd think it would take at least $800K to get him to move.
IMO, not sure if Rance would be worth anything over $600K?
Happy to hear what others think.
He had a great year but tbh I wouldn't have him with the best defenders in the comp, he's a pretty limited playerHe is one of the best defenders in the competition, and flexible as well.
Frawley is on a rumoured $700k pa so Rance would be worth more on the open market.
Oh, absolutely. I'd take Carlisle ahead of most. I'm just not sure we'll be prepared to cough up what Essendon demand for him.Prefer Carlisle to Rance TBH. Rance had a pretty good year last year...guess I would like to see him string another great 12 months together.
You'd also think that Richmond have plenty of room left in their salary cap. I can't imagine there'd be too many on top dollar. Cotchin, Deledio, Riewoldt, maybe Martin...

Yep, true unfortunately - we will want to start climbing the ladder soon given we should be able to take advantage of the 105% rule in 2016Top clubs pay less for f.a than bottom 4 clubs.
sadly no why gws would let him go without a major major fightHas Tomlinson re-signed yet? Now that would be a ******* great pick up slot him in at CHF alongside Boyd, leave Bonts in the middle, Damnnnn
Pretty sure he resigned with them. Wait for free agency for our next raid there.sadly no why gws would let him go without a major major fight
