One of three recruits which has helped us get to fourth? For the price you are paying to get Martin, you could of got Prestia and Caddy or Prestia and Nankervis, but hey, good luck with those overs which will get you from 18th to 13th.

Might be fighting it out with the Tigers for 13th if you lose Dusty.

Prestia has been disappointing and Caddy just a player.

Yes, a pick in the 40's for Nank, a late future 20's pick for Caddy and pick 6 for Prestia, and we are going into the draft with two first rounders this year. Goddam, we got screwed bruzzy.
We "gave up the world". Thanks for the laugh.

Late 1st rounders in - as a fellow Tiger posted - the worst draft in a decade. If that is true those late 1st rounders aren't worth much.

Only people who haven't watched us would say that.

So in the whole country there's not 20 talented kids? Man, we are doomed :(

Really? Which was is incorrect? Prestia is averaging 22 touches this year.

I think the draft is fine - especially the top end!!

These are the same paid professionals that are responsible for todd goldstein getting paid $800,000+ this year (and the next 2 years) right?
Was the best ruckman in the league at the time and still can be once injury and other personal issues are resolved.

It happens. Travis Cloke was the best key forward in the game and earned that pay check. It's circumstances that didn't play out well. That is life.

It's the same material across three threads ^ you're responding to and I'm including the Goldy thread without even checking.

Which is why well managed clubs don't throw such massive sums at one player....

Yep, a 1st, 2nd and 3rd round pick.
Not the world, but pretty damn close...
But I suppose when your draft history is as your draft history reads, it's better to offload the picks then actually use them.

As soon as you realize No Dusty: No Tiges you can continue to live in your little delusion that RFC is suddenly a powerhouse.

Think Richmond supporters should concentrate on keeping Dusty instead of finding every excuse under the sun of why Dusty at North isn't going to work or ruin our list. Alot of expert list managers all of a sudden popping out.
Unfortunately I don't think us Richmond supporters don't have much say in keeping Dusty so don't know how we can really concentrate on doing that...

He's gone. Was there ever a player to sign a contract to stay at his club after his last season had finished?
I can't think of any.
Even Fyfe signed on pretty late as far these things usually go.

Big two weeks to play out.
Could still resign so i will not go early.
No signature by finals and he's gone though.
Signing on in October is unprecedented.

Does anybody realise this is different to other situations as he doesnt want to leave the tigers he wants to get paid as much as he can, Richmond clearly have enough to match anything we offer and will, they are trying to sign him up for as low as possible which is fair enough. they are probably the best Richmond side theyve had in 35 years so you better believe theyll match almost anything. If he was disgruntled and wanted to leave or Richmond had salary cap issues thats a different story but if Richmond want to match there is no way hes leaving

I get the feeling he will accept North's offer and then Richmond will match, and he'll stay. Reckon Richmond can afford it, especially if back loaded. They're just trying to lowball him. He is $$$ hungry but if money's the same surely you stay at Richmond. **** playing at etihad in front of 20 thousand.

Lol, it's the Internet "Bru", why are you so angry? It's just a game, relax. Maybe check out our 2014 draft and rookie picks and get some facts? This will be our 4th finals campaign in 5 years, maybe we have got something right somewhere?
And it's ironic (doncha think) you're having a crack about Richmonds drafting when it's a tiger pick that's the topic of conversation?
Keep dragging those knuckles big fella. You'll evolve one day.
