Recommitted Ed Richards [signs 5 year deal]

[The Nostradamus]

the 25 year old is a restricted free agent this year, has played 121 games and I reckon is about to become an A grader after moving into the midfield in 2024.

One to watch as he should get a fair pay increase with this contract

 

[briztoon]

Honestly, where’s he going to move to if he leaves the Bulldogs?

Collingwood, and that’s probably it.

 

[The Nostradamus]

depends who stumps up big overs in cash if doggies lowball

 

[Warhorse]

Turned into a very good midfielder. Will get some big offers

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Would fit the Blues midfield perfectly but we won't have the coin or the picks.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him make AA in the next 3 years

 

[go_the_dockers]

Honestly, where’s he going to move to if he leaves the Bulldogs?

Collingwood, and that’s probably it.

He would be very handy for 10 to 12 clubs.

Hawks need a bit more run in the midfield.
He would be very good for North.

Would be in the starting midfield for St Kilda.

Crows need more midfield talent.

He will get serious cash thrown at him.

Think you missed my point.

He either stay where he is, or moves to the club where his grandad was Collingwood royalty.

I expect Collingwood will have heaps of cash as well.

It depends how much he has a connection Collingwood.

I would pick Hawthorn or North over Collingwood.

Dogs cleared $1.5-2 mill cap space this trade period (Smith, Macrae, Daniel).

We are definitely not lowballing any of our key resignings in the next year or 2.

I think his family has produced three Collingwood captains with a thousand-odd games between them.

Richards is a must-keep and we have the cap space, I doubt we'd be letting him go.

Could of been at Carlton sliding doors moment

In the end, Richards stayed in his car, was 45 minutes late, and walked into a meeting with some stern-faced Blues officials. “They tried to not be annoyed but you could sort of tell, he said. “But if someone was 45 minutes late, that's pretty annoying.3 July 2018

Another SOS classic. Instead we ended up with LoB

Carlton did the right thing getting rid of SOS in the end

Carlton did the right thing getting rid of SOS in the end

Honestly, I’m expecting Dodoro to end up at St Kilda with SOS and Grubby.

 

[Bulldogs85]

Honestly, I’m expecting Dodoro to end up at St Kilda with SOS and Grubby.

A club should think twice about giving Dodoro a job

 

[Pralaya]

Richards could be what any midfield has been waiting for. The price is right for him and he's got plenty of takers if the Dogs lock him in, it's a win.

 

[Danger in Texas]

I’d offer him a bag

Though he won’t move to SA you’d think

 

[anotherletdown]

Big fan of him in his draft year. Happily take him as the consolation price if Warner leaves

 

[Mofra]

We'll have plenty of cap space and he's super important to us. He's going to get very very well paid.

 

[Eric Shin]

Exactly the type of player Collingwood need going forward. I hope he’s disgruntled at the Dogs!

Massive PoD for the Dogs midfield, as he has pace.

They should be doing everything they can to keep him.

 

[Apex36]

Time to come home Ed.

think you find the 1.5-2 mill you speak of be gone by the time darcy and bontempelli sign their extensions.

Bont is already one of the highest paid players in the game at over $1mill. He won't be getting dramatically more for his next extension in his 30s.

Darcy and Richards will get healthy increases, and we will still have a good chunk leftover.

 

[DopeMaster]

I would pick Hawthorn or North over Collingwood.

That would be a poor career move as you’d end up playing for Norf.

Didn’t quite think it through did you?
