Traded Chris Yarran [to Richmond for Pick 19]

[captain cotch 9]

Im sure 99% of tigers fans would be happy to keep 19 and go to the draft.
Yarran hasnt done shit in 2 years.
Take 19 or walk away IMO.

Btw its amazing Calrton can take the high ground in the trade after they tried to convince Lennon to walk to the PSD.

In 2 years?

On the contrary, players WANT to go to strong clubs. We will become a strong club with a strong attitude.

Exhibit a - delusional

 

[SexyBlueGirl]

So you can approach players mid year? You just cant have them pick you? Thats uuuhhh...some great logic.

You can have them pick you but the onus is now on you to satisfy all parties without leaving the player twisting in the wind.

That's the difference.

This is really a bit ridiculous, Carlton people thinking they have the upper had because he's contracted when everyone knows they want to offload him. He's on big $$ and doesn't want to be there and they don't want him there. Him not being traded to Richmond would be a disaster for them.

For Richmond, them keeping 19 instead of Yarran is hardly a disaster, more like a calculated gamble they didn't take.

The idea that Carlton can squeeze more out of Richmond is comical.

Lol, you guys seem to have trouble reading. My point was you need talent NOW. You could pick a goodun and develop him for a few years and just watch that window close on you in the meantime. Yarran will get you closer to a flag, NOW!

Geddit?

We need talent NOW, you say. I agree. You also need to pick a "goodun" and develop him for a few years. Pick 19 is fair and REASONABLE, IMO of course.
You should be biting our hand off for a pick below 31.
And forget the academy picks pushing the pick number up, the academy kids aren't available anyway.

ROFL.

Given we have no father sons or academy players, how is the afl pick value even relevant to us??

 

[Tig22]

From The Age:


ROFL.

As a club with no father son picks or academy players, why should we care? We've got limited space on our list and don't need to be hitting the draft heavily. 2 first rounders, Townsend, and some rookie upgrades and we're good!

You do know that two second round talents points don't equate to one first round talent, right? Otherwise why don't you trade pick 1 for some later first rounders? You'll get more points!

 

[captain cotch 9]

In 2 years?

sorry..6 years

 

[Tiger71]

Aish never chose US. We did due diligence and that was it.

Head in the sand much ?

You flew over there had a chat MID YEAR, outside of him rejecting you, not the other way round lol, whats the difference ?

You did your DD, thats comedy gold, thanks mate lol

I know. Richmond know. Thats why we worked to get a pick in the area he is worth.
What have Calrton done to help the trade move? We've changed our offer from 31 to 19. Calrton have done......jack shit.

 

[captain cotch 9]

Apparently SOS actually wanted pick 120..not 12.
He panicked and left off the 0.
We said no because we will use it to upgrade a rookie

 

[Sin City]

sorry..6 years

Pay that.

In truth though, 2014 he was terrific.

 

[SexyBlueGirl]

Lol, and that sums up the Richmond sentiment. "Take what we give you and piss off".

So Strong.

This is a very understated fact.

Thought it was you guys waiting for us to hand over pick 113 before you gave us pick 12 like you did with Townsend

That sentence doesn't make sense mate..

 

[Mr Magic]

In this draft, it isn't great.

Yazz is a match winner. Compare him to some no-name at pick 19.... Richmond need a flag in the next 2 years. Carlton know this.

Actually we don't , but some in the footy dept seem to think we do. That is why they will be fired now IMO, just not astute enough!!

 

[TerryWallet]

The blues where willing to take 15 from the hawks but not 19 from the team he wants to get to?
Is that Dodo from the bombers working at the blues now?

Dodo just worked a miracle. Hope SOS does the same with Yarran. 19 will be a win anyway. Anything better will be another miracle.

 

[Tiger71]

Pay that.

In truth though, 2014 he was terrific.

Agree, his 2102 and 2013 IMO were not bad either. yeah he shit the bed in 2015, that is why i find this "so strong" line comical. You guys dont want him, that is clear, he is on 450k. You need cap space else why would you entertain trading another small forward who can kick goals when you guys cant score goals now anyway ?

We wont bend, we wont offer 12, guess Yarran will be a blue on paper next year. He many due to "mental health" reasons never play a game next year, whiile still getting paid and training for free keeping himself fit and healthy for us next off season when he comes to us for free and you get way less then pick 19 in value.

We on the other hand, go draft 2 more 200 game players.

We don't have to do a thing. The onus is on you to satisfy our demands.

We've changed our offer from 31 to 19.

That's gold, Jerry.

 

[Mr Magic]

Dodo just worked a miracle. Hope SOS does the same with Yarran. 19 will be a win anyway. Anything better will be another miracle.

2 second rounders for 19 just add fuel to the fire that SOS and others are playing on the stupidity of some in the RFC footy dept to exploit them to gain advantage for their clubs.

SOS has already had a win if RFC has traded those picks for 19 and the fact RFC footy dept has no clear action plan for 19 that can be utilised for immediately just shows up their amateurism!!!

So Strong.

Quote the whole post or none of it.
You need the picks and we need the player, pick 19 is fair and reasonable. Sticking to pick 31 would have been "Take what we give you and piss off".
Richmond made an effort to accommodate Carlton and, it appears, that Carlton aren't making the same effort to accommodate Richmond and Chris Yarran.
