If Mark Coughlan wanted to return home to WA.
What would you offer Richmond for him?

Hasleby??????
Polak?????
McPharlin?????
who?????
 
Currently Mark Coughlan is happy at Richmond and fingers crossed he remains happy at Punt Road.

Some quotes from a Herald Sun article.

http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/footy/common/story_page/0,8033,6818629%5E19771,00.html

"I've developed a feeling for the jumper in the past three years,"

"We haven't enjoyed success since I have been here and I want to be at the club when we are winning and in the finals.

"We showed at the start of the year that when we have our best team playing we are capable of winning."


However statements like that don't always hold true, just look at Nick Davis last year.

I don't think Coughlan will or would want to leave richmond, But just interesting to know what you would give up for coughlan. And you never know with players away from home.

Not a hope in hell.
That said I would hand over Siegurt and our first round pick.
 
I'd Give Seigurt , Thornton & Toia and if Richmond dont want that we'll offer that to Carlton for Koutafides.

1st round pick + player.

Agree with that, but I wouldn't make the player any of our front liners, that's for sure.
Or Croad + 2nd rounder. Maybe just Croad if he keeps putting in like he did on Sunday.

Let's face it guys, Croad is our main trade bait, if anyone's going anywhere, it's him.
 
Agreed 1st round pick + player, and definitely not any of the players mentioned in the initial post.

To be honest though, I'd rather go for another Western Australian such as Armstrong or Cassisi. Either of them would be much cheaper than Coughlan and may well end up being just as good, if not better.

Exactly I say we go for Cassisi or Armstrong, both are very higly skilled and both have allot of development ahead of them
My first choice would be armstrong.
 
Is it just me or has Armstrong's progress stalled?.

He was playing for Perth as a 17 year old, was drafted by Melbourne and in my eyes has been hardly sighted. The Dees are in a down cycle, so I would have thought if he was the real deal, his class would have shown through. Is it due to injury or lack of game time?.

Some players show all their goods early and don't keep on progressing, others improve year after year.
 
Ive been impressed with Armstrong when I have seen him this year but he doesnt seem to be getting much game time from Daniher???
I dont know if he would get a game in Freos forward line though.
Anyway I think Freo should just persist with what they have got already instead of trading too much.
Browne, Haines, Webster and Schammer are still developing?

He wasn't given much game time last year but was used to a greater extent in the finals series where he performed very highly, being rotated through the middle.

He had a great start to this season before receiving a shoulder injury. Since then, he hasn't had as much game time and is being rotated through the midfield and forward line.
 
Yeah, Armstrong has dropped away this year. I don't know if it's due to injury/opportunity or what, but he hasn't lived up to expectations this year. He definitely has talent though.

With his form currently may be a good trade for a 2nd round pick

All the more reason we should go for him.
It will mean we wont have to part with our first round pick.

Second round pick + fringe player would probably be a fair trade. He has only turned 19 this year.

How about Croad + second round pick for Armstrong + melbourne's first round pick (likely to be 3 or 4).

I could see a trade like that happening. A top five pick would give us a great shot at Moody, Ray or Bradley. Plus we would get rid of Croad's contract and add another up & coming midfielder to the ranks.

I guess that's a possibility depending on how Croady performs for the rest of the season. Melbourne could do with a KPP like Croad and we could do with some more depth in the midfield.

Any Melbourne supporter or neutral poster prepared to post their thoughts?
