Heard on SEN that he is seeking a trade. Anyone interested? Think if the price was right would be keen. Maybe a 2nd or 3rd rounder. Maybe a player. Bate?
It was also mentioned Carlton and Richmond are in talks of another trade this year. Not sure which players this involves. Also thursfield apparently may be keen on a move
 
This talk of a possible trade between Richmond and Carlton has been gaining momentum lately, I've had a look at their list and see these players as possibilities:

Collins - as crazy as it sounds wouldn't surprise me, there's been a bit of talk on it, they don't really like or rate him there.
Hampson - purely as a spanner if we don't get Maric (maybe both?)
Russell
White

One can only hope it isn't McLean

I hope it is McLean, would make my day.

In all seriousness, I could only see Richmond really trading for a ruckman.... and I can't see the Blues trading their backup ruck.

All 3 are contracted for next year, with Warnock the next to come out of contract (I don't actually know when Kreuzer comes out of contract, but he has already knocked back HUGE money from the GWS once so I doubt he will ever leave the club)
 
roflmfao, shows how little you know about Carlton .................

All the talk was so so positive about Collins after the drawn game against the Bombres in round 4 or whenever. Bronx cheers when he was subbed. Yes, yes Coryne, shows how little you know about your own supporter base... :cool:
 
All I ever hear is you guys abusing him




The club or some dimwit supporters ??? If it is supporters then I am surprised Richmond has ANY players as your supporters will dig into almost anyone at your club ........


He was flying preseason, then had some injuries (with a shoulder injury ending his season early) but before that there was nothing but positive words coming out of the club regarding him ............

And how many threads have appeared on the Richmond boards about how crap Grigg is, and how you should never have traded for him ??? There is nothing funnier than the Richmond boards after a loss. Should we believe ANYTHING said then reflects the club/supporters as a whole ???

If he decided to clean up his act, i wouldn't mind him down at the Dees. Could take Grimes' spot on the HBF and allow Grimes to go into the midfield.

So you garner views on footballers based on threads on a football forum? Do you go to games? Why bring Grigg into it? Still a bit touchy about that deal hey? You can believe what you like.... but I for one would have much preferred the output from Grigg compared to the output from Collins this year. Collins is a better player than he showed for you.... at least he used to be.... but he didn't show it at all in 2011.... Do you disagree with that?

roflmfao, Grigg is a heartless twat who would work hard for a position in the team, which is why he went somewhere where he is gifted games ........ He wouldn't come close to getting at game at Carlton this year, which is why he left (which is a view many of your own supporters share)

As for Collin's output, how many times do you have to be told he was FLYING during the pre-season, got injured, had x2 pretty poor games due to being under done and then had a season ending shoulder injury. Sure Grigg featured high in your teams b&f award, but that is more a indictment on your club than a praise on Grigg's year ..........

Wasn't he the guy Cousins smacked in the head ???

Yep, the same guy. Got suspended by the club for 8 weeks in 2010 and then played reasonable footy after that. Only 3 games this year before getting dropped and then injured. 1 of those players who always looks as though he could be good without actually ever being good... in other words, he is now or in a year at most ;a typical Richmond list clogger!

Yes yes, the entire football world is well aware that any player who wishes to leave Carlton is a heartless twat, Hamill etc... but my point was that Collins did not provide the output wanted in 2011 and while I like him, I'm still happy with the trade that was done. We needed a solid foot soldier (need more... pref with better kicking skills) and got one.
 
Don't know why clubs would be lining up to take Conners.

Whats he done?

Connors had a really good year last year when he moved to a HBF, really good long kick and got over 25 touches constantly.

Fell out of favour this year, was also injured, but I believe there was a falling out between him and the club. Now he's asked for a trade, he's got lots of talent and potential, it just comes down to whether another club wants to take a risk on ironing him out.
 
This may have come about because Batchelor and Houli have moved ahead of him this season and he's looking to move to a club where he'll be more appreciated.

Straight swap for Maric?
