I think a lot of us are missing the point.

I assume SJ wants to try his hand at coaching.

We pick SJ up as a draftee later in the draft and saves us getting a late draft selection we have to use we don't want. When he retires we put him on as a coach.

The fact SJ is virtually cooked is why you get him in the ND because no one else wants him. If someone else gets him and SJ does not like it he can retire.

Either way we don't waste a draft selection, save cap space and get SJ as coach ideally particularly if we are trading first two round draft picks for the likes of Weller, Treloar, Bennell, and Yarran or whoever else plus FA targets plus Lambert upgrade and whatever else
If the point is to have SJ at Richmond as a coach post playing career then i'll eat my dirty work sock. no thanks.

Keep Lloyd, any depth player that can kick 3 goals with any regularity is a very valuable depth player. In a roar vision interview he acknowledged that defensive pressure is something he lacks and is actively working on it.
Still not sure that Treloar is who we need. That doesn't mean I don't want him but he just wouldn't be my first choice.

So apparently we are attempting to trade for Kruezer now too. I think the media have turned their attention to use now so that we are the new Collingwood where everyone out of contract appears to be going to. Good signs for the club I wold suggest

Not really. Treloar is top 15 uncontested possessions but gets less contested possessions and clearances then Miles and Cotchin.

I'd be very happy with Treloar but he won't solve our inside problems he'll just add another guy who'll help our uncontested game and be capable inside ala Edwards, Ellis, Grigg, McIntosh et al.
I sort of like this idea though. We've got well rounded, very talented players that are dangerous on the outside but capable inside. As a list development strategy it makes our team hard to match up on, but vulnerable to big bodied teams that will kill us out of the centre like adelaide and west coast.

Really not keen on the SJ idea at all, don't see the benefit of having him at the club.

Kruezer on the other hand, I would take in a heartbeat - as well as Yarran. Don't see us getting Trelor, but lets win the GF and see how we go in the trade period.

It feels so odd spending the last few years not getting excited about the trade period in late August, still so much football to play. Playing finals sure is strange for a Tiger Fan!
