From a Richmond perspective, this off season is imperative for us. Yarran is a high risk/high reward type - no certainty he'll find his best form again. Because of that, I reckon you guys will have to cop a little risk premium when it comes to cashing in his trade value. A 2nd rounder and decent player is what I'd be willing to pay. No doubt you all think he's worth more. We might need a third party to get it done this year, if it is to be.
If this off season is as imperative as you say, then your people (as opposed to you behind the keyboard) need to forget about lowballing us or any of the clubs for that matter.
You are not going to get the missing pieces of your jigsaw for peanuts. Just look at how Hawthorn does it, they pay near to overs to ensure they get what they need ...... and then get rewarded by winning premierships.
We have not handled Yarran as well as we could of over his time at Carlton, and for that matter, what he needs right now is a strong coach who he respects and wants to play for. Hardwick, or even Lyon, would be good choices as they will get the best out of him.
In the right "headspace", he can do some amazing things, he is a genuine line-breaker off half-back or the wing with pace and disposal that is the equal of anyone in the league.
Players like that normally don't go cheap in a trade, especially ones who were first round draftees with 120 games experience behind them.
