We'll pick him up for nothing in the PSD thanks.

BTW, don't come in here being a smart campaigner because you got your knickers in a twist over the Martin thing.

It's done.

We have moved on, so should you.

I didn't mention Martin once. And my knickers aren't in a twist- we have him after all. But let's leave it there that's done and dusted.

I'm just talking some footy about a player on our list that this thread is showing interest in. No space for us on our list - don't get me wrong good player but just a bit slow and gets done on defensive transition a bit. You might not get him in the PSD. Not sure he fills a need for North TBH. He'd suit a team short on inside mids.

Paying all of Goldys salary for next year adds value to any trade for a club looking for a ruck. We won't get a top 10 for him, but we could get a late teens pick with that cash incentive. Paying for Swallow at GC and LT somewhere else could get us better than expected otherwise.

If we start trading the likes of Tarrant, Macmillan and Atley we may as well gut the list and start again.

Thanks for clearing that up. There appears to be many tricks / perks when trading out/in players.
 
No you are not wrong about our lack of midfield pace. You may pretend you were being good natured but in truth you were trying to needle. If you wanted to participate and be taken seriously then you should have posted this:

"You can have him, probably worth a second pick and we'd take it. Will be a reasonable fit given the lack of pace of Cunnington, Ziebell, Higgins and Swallow."

But you didn't post that, which shows you weren't serious in your desire to participate properly so go away. Not that I really care that much what you do TBH.


Not a bad retort Horey, just not enough of these ....... and**** you **** and I **** hope you straight **** sets the **** out of the comp! :p
 
It was subtle but good natured. And to illustrate the point of why I think he'd be a bad fit. Am I wrong about a lack of midfield pace?

Anyway I'll leave you to it. Thought oppo supporters would be welcome on the thread to discuss but clearly not.


Again I got red carded for less on the shit pit that is the Richmond board, have a special thread all set to go once the inevitable happens. Hope you can find the good natured side of the thread!

What has Motlop done since signing his last contract, apart from turning up to training 20kgs over weight, to warrant any sort of interest from anyone? He's been awful.

And you don't have to be a rocket surgeon to know Ablett is only going to one club.

I have a sneaking suspicion we'll score Motlop....in a 3 way trade with Gaz Jnr and Spitta.
Why on earth would we give up anything for a restricted free agent.

If we want him we get him for nothing but money.

It's why we would be into him.

When fit he's got speed and polish on the outside. He is flakey as f*** though. We would get him for free and so I see the appeal.

Agreed!
That's why I am agreeing with aggressive reset. Blood the kids, recruit players that suit our age profile only (22-24 year olds max)

Waite should not be offered a new contract. Spitta traded if we can get something good for him. Otherwise offer 1 year. In fact I think if we don't land JK all our 28 year olds and over should try to be traded. It's not like with them in the side we are gonna push for the 8. We need good draft picks and I would rather keep blooding kids and new young talent we bring in.

We need to think long term perhaps another season dwelling bottom table will get the talent into the side to be pushing in 2-3 years time.

Oh dear.

I would put a jumping the shark gif up, but it is just not worth the effort to stop shaking my head.

People are forgetting that Swallow played alright because he played the only position he can play......inside grunt.
My opinion is that the club want to free themselves of Swallow, Geelong wants Gaz for say 2 yrs and they want to offload Motlop.We get him as a boobie prize.

So in this situation we give up something of value and get something we could get for free?

Mate its only my opinion........Swallow you say is value ?? ok , but not at our club. They wanted to see how Dumont went playing his role, he did ok but that didnt help having an ex captain running around the 2's did it??
Club had to whack Swallow, see Dumont play the role, then bring him back to play him where he plays best so we can offload him, this October.
 
Tarrant is 28 so I wonder if he realised that.
I did realise that and my post suggested we should entertain trades, if they are of considerable value to us, not suggesting we trade guys out for bullshit picks and no value.
If someone offers us a first round pick for Tarrant. Would you not entertain this? I wouldn't take anything that wouldn't bring us value.
Further more I guess all this depends on whether we land JK or not. Land him then Tarrant is 100% untouchable.
