he is not selfish, are you bitter he just wont talk to anyone but the tigers ? When it looked like the Hawks would swoop, you did not have that view of yarran then.
he cracked the shits halfway through the season and pretty much refused to try. how is this not selfish?

i dont really care who he talks to as long as it isnt Hawthorn. we can do without that sort of player.

You can keep him, we'll keep pick 19. We'll get him as a RFA next year and you will get a second round compensation pick which is worse than pick 19...

Then you can shove the 2016 wooden spoon up your arse sideways. campaigners.
I just don't get the tactic.

Pick 19 is fair value for Yarran given his inconsistent year, if anything it is slight overs.

Demanding Pick 12 is pure fantasy for SOS and CFC, no other club other than CFC believes he is worth Pick 12.

CFC think they have the power, sure he is contracted and wants out, but he isn't a superstar or a jet. Yep has the potential. With potential comes risk.

Pick 12 in any draft, if traded, would seek a gun player. Yarran doesn't fit this mould. Again, has the ability, but his past performances have downgraded this. I think Richmond are happy to sit firm on 19 or leave it be, whilst exploring other potential trade options.

Damn, i hate it when i make sense...... :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Personally I wouldn't of been too fussed if we accept #19 and move on. Cut our losses and hit the draft.

However SOS not accepting #19 suggests he told Richmond what it would take to yield Yarran and they've completely ignored that. Instead trying to muster up something closer to what they believe his value to be.

He is contracted thus Carlton is the price maker... you can't slam SOS for trying to get the best deal possible for an 18th placed team with close to one of the worst lists in modern football.

It'll be very interesting to see what happens... does Richmond end up giving #12 knowing it's their only shot at Yarran this year and that they have another first rounder a few spots down the order... or do Carlton just accept #19 and be gone with it.

Then why is he worth more than pick 19?

Because you can only assume that SOS has reason to believe that North's 17(in Bastinac trade apparently) and Hawthorn's 15 are in play.

SOS obviously feels he can get one of 12, 15 or 17. If he can't by tomorrow lunchtime, or earlier, he will accept 19.

I'd love to see a poll taken of people who are not Carlton or Richmond fans, and see what the popular consensus is about Pick 19 being fair value for Chris.

I'm almost certain that supporters of 16 other clubs outside of Carlton and Richmond, would on the whole, agree that Carlton are living in a fantasy world expecting Pick 12, when Pick 19 is on the table right now.

In my mind, it is Carlton vs. 17 clubs, re value of Yarran.

Carlton were seemingly happy enough to take Pick 18 from the Hawks, or at the very least they didn't publicly come out and say they wouldn't take it. But because it's Richmond, it's "Pick 12 or nothing" for some reason.

The key to this, is that they're not declining Pick 19 because they don't value Pick 19, they're declining Pick 19 because the club that wants him have Pick 12. So it has nothing to do with Pick 19 not being fair and adequate, it's just Carlton wanting to have their cake and eat it too. :thumbsdown:

How on earth do you know what Richmond have done? Were picks 13-18 ever obtainable for Richmond? Clearly they've explored their options and found they could play a role in the 3-way Dixon trade to land Pick 19. If that won't do then so be it.
