Richmond the ******* flogs

The campaigners were trading in both Armo and Trengrove.

Decided not too and both are cooked 2 years later.

Well I hope Armo isn't cooked but geez, wish we could do with some of that luck.

The moment we got Carlisle he turns out doing adult sherbert and got banned for a year :huh:

Cursed I ******* swear
Sliding doors moments never end well, but if that was the 2014 draft, Armo could've netted us pick 12. Pick 12 was instead used on Corey Ellis, but who were the next 2 picks?

Pick 13: Lachie Weller
Pick 14: Jake Lever

Could be worse, we could have picked Blaine Boekhorst as well with pick 12

Obviously, but I'm referring to those players I've quoted in particular. We need a good up and coming kpd and mid.. we're prepared to throw money at someone like a Kelly.. what would Andrews or Oliver cost if they agreed and the price was right for all parties..? Better than going into the draft unproven..

Oliver is a pure insider at the moment and not really what we need. That said I reckon he will win a Brownlow with in the next 5 years he's that good. The Dees would want our 2 firsts minimum. His stats are already top 5 in the AFL in a lot of areas in his second year of footy. They would not let him leave but if he did it would have to be something ridiculously in their favour like Jack Steven and pick 7.

Andrews probably more gettable because Brisbane just seem to be in a perpetual cycle of player loss but would still cost heaps.

its a similar approach to what GWS did where you stock on on good KPP talent knowing you will lose some, but you will get other options coming back

especially when the draft you are in is pretty damn shitty for midfield talent
Yeah, we don't have the luxury of a ridiculous amount of top ten picks so we can't really afford stockpile anything.

I know SFA about Jackson Trengove, except a vague idea that he was perhaps fairly highly rated a few years back, but now not so much -- and that is it. Couldn't tell you how he plays or what he looks like.

What are people's opinions?

Sonny clearly not a fan, I'd hope he's not a dinosaur...

White & Rice have more chance of making it than DMac. I get that they play different roles, but DMac has played 22 senior games & still looks like a deer in headlights when he plays. White slotted straight in like a 50-100 game player within 2-3 games
I will take exception to this. There have been as many players who have been deer in the headlights for the first 30-50 games who have kicked on as those who have been composed in the first few. You have to give young players a go and I don't think Dmac is anywhere near being written off.
Goddard looked like bambi for 4 years. Gwilt looked a superstar winger in his first game. Maguire was going to be a defensive rock for 10 years. Sam Fisher played like a cardboard cutout early on.
