Richmond fans bag him all year and suddenly now he is valuable?
As much as you like Greenwood?

This thread is not about Greenwood. But since you ask:
I'm not fussed either way with him. If he stays, great. If not, we have the midfield depth to cover him, and I'll be happy that we didn't relent to pay him overs to match the inflated money that rival clubs who are desperate for a mid are offering him.

Winderlich is 30 in a couple of days. In no way would a straight swap for Vickery be adequate. It would be like us wanting Hurley for Newman.
He's bagged because he's a dickhead, not so much footballing ability. He's a pretty good player and very valuable to our future.
If you seriously think you'd get him in a swap for Winderlich... Well, I can't help you
Clearly it would not be a straight swap, it would involve swapping of draft picks and/or a third club.

It depends if Essendon release him from his contract and we get him as a FA which could get the Bombers another top 40 pick.
Where do you place Vickery's worth, out of curiosity?
In a deal where Winderlich would be steak knives. The best we could get from Richmond would be maybe an extra 3rd rounder for Winders plus our 4th. I'm sad to here that Winderlich is leaving but I held the belief that one of he or Fletcher had to retire for list management purposes
If Winderlich went to Richmond as a free agent I suspect there would be no compensation for Essendon.

Given Kavanagh reportedly wants out any chance of pick 12 and Batchelor to Essendon for Kavanagh and 21 with Winderlich as steaknives.
End of first round pick at best. Being a tall and still relatively young gives him currency, but his injury history, inconsistent form and tribunal history counts against him.

If true, a poor decision by Essendon. Fletch is well past his best and while Winders has next to no chance of playing more than two-thirds of a season, he is still a potential match winner in the games he does play.
Yeah I reckon that's about right. In any case I really doubt we'll trade him, I reckon you're best off angling for a pick upgrade or something.
Maybe Winderlich and pick 20 for pick 12?

Would rather it be Kavanagh than Winderlich. Wouldn't give more than a fourth rounder for Winderlich to be honest. 30, injury prone and got one year left.
Very much doubt it would involve our first rounder. I was thinking more like Winderlich and your 4th for our 3rd. Even then I'd be hesitant, looks like a strong draft this year.
Well it depends on which way you look at it. Winderlich would help Richmond more in the short term, potentially helping them move beyond week one of the finals next year. Kav would be a long term recruit, he still looks very slight so doubt he would displacing guys in Richmond's midfield anytime soon.

Nathan Foley is one who will be replaced soon, and Newman retired. Could fit him in the side in the next year possibly on a half back flank or on a wing.
Swap Carlisle for Fletch and you could say the same thing.
Not a chance we would do that, in fact we should only entertain a FA or 4th rounder for him. If not no thanks for mine.
Only page 3 RFC fans. Won't be long before they want Martin and your 1st rounder. Wait for it.
