time to return the traditional Richmond yellow
You guys always copy usCopying Richmond? Not sure how you came to that conclusion. Pert confirmed on radio a month or so ago that we've been keen on Treloar for about 2 years.

Pies have the worst forward line in the comp and swanny is carrying the team unlike our old goat NewyI think if he wants to win a flag 2-10 years RFC.
If win at Collingwood, 5-13 years if he is lucky. Pies have to get replacements for Cloke, Swan etc...Reid
I know what they want, but doesnt mean they will get...^ not enough, gws would want a top 5 pick plus a pick in the teens/very early 20s
He's out of contract, that reduces what they can get for him^ not enough, gws would want a top 5 pick plus a pick in the teens/very early 20s
I 100% agree/understand, but gws aren't gonna bend over backwards and let us damn emHe's out of contract, that reduces what they can get for him
We don't have a Top 5 pick to offer so if he wants to come to Richmond then they need to find a trade that will actually have a chance of happening
everybody wants to be fukd by a tigerI 100% agree/understand, but gws aren't gonna bend over backwards and let us damn em
Completely disagree with you. We don't need another A-Grade midfielder, do we need midfield depth YES but we shouldn't be selling the farm. We need a genuine small forward, not a bit player midfielder a 3 goals a game Eddie Betts, Cyril Rioli type is our biggest weakness at the moment. Midfielders we can pick up in drafts, quality, mercurial small forwards are diamonds.I will say it again small forwards who can't play midfield are a liability when the heat goes on . We loose one of Cotchin or Miles and we are rooted . We can't and shouldn't continue to expect them to carry the workload for a prolonged time . Cotchin , lids , Martin , Edwards are all capable of playing equalling as good , as a forward , as anyone in the game .
Miles is our only mid who can't go forward with great effect which he needs to work on.
If that is the case we will have to give him a miss.
I assume Adam is far smarter than that like Boyd with the bulldogs looking at lists rather than ladder position.
What might be more relevant is draft position end of year.
Remember it is about what we can do for Treloar in the future not what RFC has done in 2015.
Any astute investor knows that except unfortunately Ryder with Port
I think Boyd was looking at the ridiculous amount of money he was being offered. GWS have a list at least the equal of the Bulldogs.... They just had a KPP hole and he could fill and get paid far far more than he is worth.No brainer.... cash is still king sometimes...
If he wants a premiership then he has to go to a club that doesn't have the pick GWS want. But GWS can play hard ball. So our first plus a player they want. Could be done. But GWS want to reduce their list not increase it. Interesting negotiations I reckon.
I am sure that had a bit to do with it to
I hate typing it but Collingwood would be an attractive destination for any player.We are the most desirable location from a football perspective. North are old and finished and the Pies have been exposed as pretenders in the last month.
-If he wants to win he'll come to Richmond.
-If he wants money he'll go to Collingwood and get his footy show money from Eddie.
-If he wants to destroy his career he'll go to North.
I have honestly no idea what we could give them though. I just hope the future draft pick thing is brought in this year.
Players like Petrevski-Seton can do both......Completely disagree with you. We don't need another A-Grade midfielder, do we need midfield depth YES but we shouldn't be selling the farm.

Sign him up!Players like Petrevski-Seton can do both......

Bisafe. mble by Doggies. Would you consider a Treloar deal (say it was 650-700k/year for 6 or 7 years) a gamble by the RFC or not bad (depending on what we had to give up)?
Slightly strange head, but
I wouldn't say its a gamble because Treloar is pretty safe, but 650-700k is bit rich for me assuming with cough up our first and a player like Astbury as well.
More inclined to get a cheaper Plowman or buntine or Hampton if Treloar was that pricy
Can't say that Buntine has impressed me however he has been playing as a third key defender (or 2nd depending on injury) hasn't he?
Hampton could develop into providing us Yarran type run without the price tag, so would be an option.
Haven't seen much of Plowman.
Doubt many of those guys would have the immediate impact of Treloar though. 650k in 3 -6 years won't be the same as what it is now though in terms of cap space....
