Free Agency Jacob Townsend [joins Essendon as a delisted free agent]

[Mofra]

25 years old, one of the 'feel-good' stories of last year's final series.
Seemingly on the outer as he's out of contract and potentially forced off the list with Tom Lynch's arrival at Punt Rd.

What is his value? Haven't heard any whispers about who he might be linked to but I'd like to see the Bulldogs ask the question. What do Tigers fans think he's worth at the trade table?

Jack shit. I mean pick 1

Somewhere in between imo.

 

[evo]

a lot closer to jackshit than pick 1

 

[tigs2010]

I dunno. I reckon jack shit probably paying $1.30ish

 

[Isaac Cumming No 1]

Hopefully the Tigers offer him a contract for his sake. Not unusual for a club to work their way down the list of contracts in order of significance. With the Tigers focussed on finals, not surprising they haven't acted to me.

If you package up Townsend, Soldo, Menadue, Conca and Lloyd, the Blues might just give you pick 1, they like their bulk purchase trade ins.

Can we give them Corey Ellis too?

Would do that over McGovern

 

[La Dispute]

Spent time in the NEAFL, we'll be keen for sure

Free to good home

 

[Andrew Birch]

Could be a good fit for Geelong

Our forward 6 resembles a crèche, we are apparently into Sam Lloyd however I'd probably prefer Townsend.

We really, really need another senior body there.

 

[Premiers17]

Townsend will be delisted or traded to Gold Coast or Fremantle

30 something would certainly get the spider senses tingling , a lock in most sides

 

[fridgeman]

He would be about player 30 on most teams lists and with Wright leaving the Blues maybe they would be kean on another retread

I'd be happy to give him another 1 year deal purely for depth and to be a big body in the VFL to help develop the younger mids around him.

 

[Premiers17]

I would give him 5yr contract with Werribee 4th team useless

What have I missed? I admit I haven’t seen him much this season but last finals he was looking like a diamond in the rough, what’s happened in one season for him to be panned this heavily?

I’m with you. Think we missed his aggression and defensive forward play this year. His last game for us his blocking and support for Riewoldt stood out.

I would not be getting rid of but, if he got a bigger/longer offer somewhere I would facilitate the deal for him. A warrior and premiership Tiger for life.

Get the feeling that Premiers17 is a pretty big fan.

Have passed this onto the club in the hopes of keeping him at Richmond for another year.
