List Mgmt. Trade & Free Agency 2025

Pick 2, pick 3 + Jacob Blight for Reid, 3rd + F2.

Or

Pick 3, F1 + Jacob Blight for Reid + F2.

Jesus thank god you are not our list manager
talk about throwing the kitchen sink

Only way i would trade for Reid is
#2 + #3 for Reid + Hawks 1st rounder

Blight i want to keep and if he wants to leave they can trade for him separately
They have the Hawks 2nd rounder that is #31 currently but will drift out to #40+


I was watching the eagles game yesterday against what could be the worst team in the game this year
Every possession he had i looked at twice by rewinding a rewatching it again , He did a couple of flashy things like the mark and tackle and a couple of receives and runs but he is far from a player that demands the high price thats talked about

While not a fan I can see either being the basis for a Reid deal to come to Richmond and if I had to choose one it would be the one where we trade the F1, as you'd think with the addition of Reid as well as improvement from other younger players we'd climb the ladder and the F1 would be closer to the 10-20 range than 1-5 range

With 1 of the justifications for trading our picks for Reid is its a supposedly shit draft why would you keep 1 pick and trade a F1 ? If this draft is so shit just trade this years picks as we will have another top 3 pick next year

also we're kinda lucky or less unlucky this year because taranto and hopper have already play as many games this year as they did last year. maybe next year we lose them both for half the year again, lynch becomes even more cooked/injured, prestia injured/gone, and maybe nank goes down and we're replacing him with ryan/ohb for weeks/months


so even with reid, we could have a worse year, but in that worse year, at least that would mean we'd get more kids in the mid rotation for experience

only thing is we'd probs never finish below weags even with an unlucky year next year

I just wish you'd be more clear about what you want

For the 16th time just to humor you

• Ask about Reid and if he is happy to come to Richmond for around 7 years at $8 mil - Yes
• If the trade cost is Both picks for Reid + Hawks 1st rounder - Yes

* If the cost exceeds any of the above - NO



* Now i can refer you to post #4881 every time you ask the same question

If we're not backing ourselves to improve next year then we're just setting ourselves up to become the next North where we remain in the bottom 2 for years on end. Also you know what you're getting with the draft this year so for mine you take the known commodity from this years draft and Reid and know that next year we've got a few father son/academy options to add that won't hurt our draft haul by trading out.

That is not correct
Whilst every club wants to improve year on year you also need to face reality and accept we have a bunch of kids that are in year 1 and will get another 2-3 next year that are still kids and learning.

Total rebuild is not expected to improve in year 2 from year 1 when the rebuild is only in its 2nd year and team getting younger and experienced players getting another year older.

Regarding the father son options next year, If we expect to have a top 4 pick next year (which we will ) none of our father sons are in the top 5 kids and you would be wasting a top 4 pick

Also you know what you're getting with the draft this year so for mine you take the known commodity from this years draft and Reid and know that next year we've got a few father son/academy options to add that won't hurt our draft haul by trading out.

every club hopes to improve the following year.

To me what is more relevant is where the club is at now and how far away it is to winning the competition(premierships) More importantly, to win a premiership you have to beat all the other clubs so what is just as important if not more is where are all the other clubs are at how they are improving or declining?? So what all the other clubs are doing is important to projections including whether Tassie is delayed or not because we know such timings can affect the composition of drafts in the next few years

We can only control what we can control so that is about developing our young talent because a lot of what is known even in this 2025 draft is not known because a lot of things can happen, father sons may not be pushing the needle massively in terms of jump in competiveness and really we are about winning premierships as we are a fair way off that right now

the other thing in regards to Harley is what does he want and what does he want to do over the journey? No one wins Melbourne cups 13 years in a row, it just does not happen so people need to be realistic and be smart about strategically timing what can help us at the right time in the right way to help us go forward and win premierships, as many as possible but knowing they cannot be endless over the journey. The other thing is all the other clubs are specifically trying to ensure RFC does not win what we want to win so ignoring what the other clubs are doing and trying to do when and where is not helpful when we are in competition with these clubs trying to beat them. For example, last year the Swans wanted Jonty Faull, we e wanted Jonty Faull so we went early to pick him up to stop the Swans getting in front of us. That is an example of what we need to do to win premierships and set us up to win premierships against these other clubs and not doing things blindly only focusing on ourselves

It may not actually happen, but we should be backing ourselves to climb a few spots on the ladder. While we will have a bunch of young players the majority of them will already have had 12 months in the system understanding how we're trying to play and it would only be possibly 1-2 draftees that we're trying to integrate into the line up, depending on what was given up to get Reid.

My personal opinion is similar to yours in that I don't want Reid, the main difference being that I don't want him at any cost really and would much rather continue to hit the draft and build that strong foundation of top end talent, keep cap space in hand and then when we are ready bring in the big money recruits to top off the list like we did with Prestia and Lynch

 

[Michaels]

There is not a single AFL player that watched some of yesterdays game that would pick Richmond. Harley rang his manager and told him no way

What about last week, what would have phoned there managers about then?

 

[Karp3_dm]

You miss cumbo dont you ?

Na it’s just that you still haven’t told us your take on Cumbo.. let alone Harley

You’re impossible to read

Cumbo was a delist before he arrived

We can back ourselves all we like fact is we wont get out of the bottom 4 next year and would be idiots to think we can just 2 years after going full blown rebuild.

You dont trade out a pick in the top 4 by backing yourself this early thats just such a NorF's thing to do

 

[Danog]

Pick 2, Pick 3 + F3 + F4 + Jacob Blight for Reid, Pick 14 + F2.

Fixed

Reid, NHH, Kellaway (F/S), Roberts (NGA) as Cat B after we delist Colina.

And we still have 2026 1st & 2 x 2nds for bid matching on Armstrong / Daffy / Leys / Walker

 

[Azzleberry]

While not a fan I can see either being the basis for a Reid deal to come to Richmond and if I had to choose one it would be the one where we trade the F1, as you'd think with the addition of Reid as well as improvement from other younger players we'd climb the ladder and the F1 would be closer to the 10-20 range than 1-5 range

Our first rounder next year is not going to be in the 10-20 range. It'll be a top 5 pick guaranteed.

If we have a poor year or injuries to key players like Nank and Lynch then we are in all sorts.

Finishing bottom 2 next year and having no 1st rounder would be a disaster

 

[Azzleberry]

We won't be bringing in only 3 players this off season.

We currently have out of contract; Bauer, Fawcett, OHB, Banks, Lynch, Young, Sonsie, Gray, Prestia, Smith, Blight, Colina, McIntosh & Dow..

14 players and I could quite easily delist half of them without any trouble.

We will again have to be creative at how we bring in another 5-6 kids as part of the rebuild

as it stands we're getting 3-4 draftees minimum with 2xtop5, kellaway & roberts (unless it's reid instead of the 2 picks)

i guess it would depend if roberts is good enough. but this particular offseason i don't see us grabbing too many players unless we get a lot of trade offers for our players which i don't know who would have any value that would leave. i also reckon we might brave nank going down with ryan & ohb as backup for one more year...

but then next year we'll have 1xtop5, armstrong, leys & daffy potentially

next year would be ****ed for trying to get points if cody walker actually nominated us, i guess you'd have to change the 1xtop5 to him, or we'd need to trade a future first unless both walker & armstrong fall far down draft lists
