Doughty a Tiger?

Burton played more as a wingman this year when last year he was a forward.

Shirley also came into the side midway through the season - he barely played a game last year. His good form kept the likes of Doughty and Gallagher out of the side, who had been fighting for a spot in the first half of the year.

I loved Sugar. To me, he was a great player.
He was my guernsey number!

As described, too many other, better midfielders jumped the queue ahead of him. 3rd round pick sounds good enough to me.

As for Sugar, we never thought he was soft, he was a very good player, just injury prone and he needed his mummy to look after him and be near him. Hard to get attached to a player that so obviously disliked Adelaide and wanted to go play in Melbourne.

I wouldn't be giving up too much for Doughty except for the obvious duds that no club will be interested in.

Fiora has signed a new 2 year deal and so I don't think can be traded, I wouldn't trade him for Doughty either. Fiora will explode next year.

The crows would be MAD to get rid of Doughty, he is a aplyer who could be flexible, has speed and wins a lot of the ball. And he is not over the hill. He should be kept, AND GIVEN A GO

We have been hearing that for the last 2 years

Doughty, as a player, meh, he's alright but can't seem to crack the side...
but the biggest thing he ever did for the club was being the only player nominated in that "sexiest player" thing the record and the footy show held last year
to me, that makes him a keeper, Damn those dreamy eyes

You get Richmond's list fit and a decent coach to harness their running game - Terry Wallace - and I have no doubt they'd go close to the flag.

Guns/Gun quality:

Ottens
Blumfield
Coughlan
Bowden
Holland
Stafford
Richardson
Campbell
Chaffey
K. Johnson
Gaspar
A. Kellaway

Potential/Need to step up:

Pettifer
Schulz
Krakouer
Rodan
Zantuck
Fiora
Hilton

They've got the list... they just need the right man to mould it and have some luck with injuries.

You list Richmond's guns and leave out Tivendale?? His disposal is 10 times better than Bowden's

And I'd leave off Blumfield - just another overrated Essendon player.

Richmond's core isn't too bad, but the problem is their depth. You only listed about 20 players there. That's not even enough to round out a full side, let alone allowing for the usual amount of injuries. Richmond desperately need a 2nd and 3rd tier if they're going to become a finals contender.

Slipped through the net...

As for Blumfield... well... he is dating the second hottest woman in the world

Got a feeling Bowden won't be singing Tigerland next year, all the talk of chasing a big name (e.g. Stevens, Bron etc) would mean someone has to go. Tigers won't get rid of Richo, they'll want more than he's worth.

First time I've said it.

I think a lot of Richmond fans wouldn't mind seeing Bowden traded even if we weren't chasing a big name.

 

[bionicsasquach]

Bowden hates the Richmond supporter culture, the Richmond supporter culture hates Bowden. Simple, and Richo will go for the right deal , such as brown, stevens or power

DT, I reckon Zantuck is already a very consistent performer for the Tigers, particularly as he is often playing out of his weight class.

Doughty and a 3rd rd pick for Adam Fiora

Don't reckon Fiora is the type of player we need.

BTW, is there anyone decent available to AFC under the father & son rule for our 3rd round pick?

Richmond can keep Richo.

 

[maccas_no1]

Geez if we are asking for Aaron Fiora we might aswell go after Adam Houlihan aswell

Just keep Doughty

 

[DaveW]

I would do the Doughty/Fiora straight swap. Sure Fiora wasn't worth the #3 pick Richmond used on him, but he's a talented player nonetheless.

However I do agree that Fiora doesn't really fit our needs. If we can use Doughty to get the type of player we need then that should be the priority.

But if it's a choice between Doughty and Fiora, then I'd go with Fiora.

Then again, if they're both going to be playing in the SANFL. South are losing a player and Port are gaining one.

This requires more thought.

Dogga struggled to beak into the team, so I reckon he would be up for a trade. Probably worth around a 3rd rounder, but would prefer him to be part of the package to get Ottens.

Better still how about a few tickets to the GP and a slab of VB you idiot!

yeah, not unlike the wakelins whose only value to the side was to drag a few more blondies into the social club after the games...

 

[maccas_no1]

Or if the Wakelins fail at bringing the blondies in, then they go do shampoo commercials

Care to explain your abuse, or are you just a serial sniper?

If you have nothing decent to say, stay off our boards.
