Richmond and Yarran deserve one another. Threatening to stand out of footy should be ringing the alarm bells at Punt Road. I mean, who the **** does that?
Buyers beware. Yarran will give you 3 good games out of 14. Other 8 will be suspended either by AFL or internally by the club

Incorrect. Read the back page of the HUN, Carlton are blocking this, and no one bar Carlton can believe you are not taking 19. Nearly everyone (bar Carlton supporters) are either shaking their head or laughing at Carlton.

Knocking back this trade its official, SOS is the new Dodoro, and it will make life difficult for the Blues in future trade periods.
Thats absolute rubbish, he has gotten two trades done with no fuss this trade period. One of which was for a contracted player.

Don't mistake extracting full value for a contracted player for the ridiculousness Dodoro comes up with.

Then this club is even lower than I thought... and that's pretty low.

I have trouble believing even Richmond could sink to those levels.
Sorry but you know SFA about anything. Just because a poster writes this doesn't mean it's true. Can't believe the dribble on this thread....

So when you get a good pick for Bell and screw Brisbane of course the trade goes smoothly.


Ok mete. ...

A first rounder because the Cats are arguably the most generous traders there are, and a quite generous deal from Brisbane for a player who wants to go home to his sick parent....

Yeah, Carlton are such great traders........

Refusing pick 19 for Yarran is incredibly stubborn. He's just not that good a player (and Carlton fans can go on about his importance now, but I'll believe it when I see it during the season), and both he and the club want him to leave.

Fun thread to read. Carlton posters are fuming and seeing Yarran and RFC as traitors and incompetent *%&U&%#. Tiger posters are fairly uncommitted about this. Keep 12 and 19 is a win!! Yarran for 19 good deal. Yarran for 12 not on. One side is committed to the cause - of feeling betrayed and wanting their pound of flesh. The other is fairly unbothered. Asymmetric attitudes by supporters and the clubs.

And if you feel betrayed what does a professional club like Adelaide feel about one of the top few players in the AFL doing the same or worse - they arrange the best deal they can and quickly. Danger is in Geelong for less than his worth but more than the alternative. That is what professional clubs do, talk to players they want and arrange things to the best advantage, even if it isn't all they desire. 17 club supporters are looking at this and thinking 'WTF are Carlton doing, this is a win win'

A few things blue supporters are missing out on mate.

First the bridge is burnt between the blues and Yarran. Your club does not want him back, they have not even spoken to him since the season has finished, so if anyone believes he will walk back into the fold are dreaming, this is no walker situation here.

Secondly, the blues have put themselves in a real precarious position. You stated you wanted a first round pick, we get you one as 19 is technically a compo first round selection and the blues balk ? The message that sends to the players on your list currently and those that may want to come in the future is scary. Its ok for the blues on one hand to break a contract for example with menzel as long as it benefits the blues but if you serve 7 years and you want to go, we will crucify you.

The tigers risk here is minimal. We can now keep our 2 first picks, trade one of them for a jet like Steele, get Yarran to quit footy after the list lodgement phase do your list plays one short and his money is still included in your cap. Then we higher him as a training assistant for the year, so to keep him conditioned and get to bond with the players, then next year we draft him for a late 5th round and the blues get nothing at all.

Bottom line the AFL is corrupt, they hate bad press, they will force the Yarran trade, just watch lol. Personally, even though I rate Yarran and want him in my side, i would perfer if the blues dont accept 19 by lunch today, to walk away and let the above shit storm happen. We still at worst get 2 quality kids, or 1 quality kid and a quality trade and get yarran next year for nothing and the blues get zero.
