Patton and Tyson plus a couple more off the table for a few years at least.

Well done by the lads

The Tigers will be disappointed about Tyson though.

blaze036 · Feb 10, 2013

Good news for the giants, i expect like the GC they will only lose a handful every year and nothing like the mass exodus some media have suggested.

Faz 2000 · Feb 10, 2013

I think in a couple of years Patton-Cameron in the forward line is going to be a two-headed monster that cannot be contained.

Super Hans · Feb 10, 2013

Damn, Wanted WHE big time.

Chris25 · Feb 10, 2013

I don't believe it. Richmond fans have been telling us for far too long that Tyson and WHE are both theirs for the taking.

ever heard of trading ?

Danair · Feb 10, 2013

It really is amazing that they've managed to keep all of their recruits, I thought Tyson and WHE would definitely return to Victoria next season.

Sin City · Feb 10, 2013

But what about this highly credible article?

Maybe Sam Darley will be traded to North Hobart for Jesse Wells at the end of the year.

Thats great news for the Giants you dont wanna be losing top 5 picks early on, or ever but still sometimes its unavoidable.

They will lose some at the end of 2013 when their first contracts run out similar to GC with hickey/caddy

I can't think of any of their top recruits who have not extended their contracts (possibly Liam Sumner but he was injured most of last season), they've signed them all up.

To say they will keep everyone is just as naive as to say there will be a mass exodus imo.

I'm not sure on their contract situations but 1 or 2 will leave.

Yeah they've resigned every player they recruited from the 2011 draft except Nick Haynes (never understood why they drafted him in the first place, might not even be offered a new contract) and Liam Sumner (very talented but injured last year, VIC poachers will most likely be after him.)

philthy05 · Feb 10, 2013

sa player josh growden in his last year of contract i believe...

still plenty of time for him to put pen to paper though.

Jeez that's poor 'journalism'. Wouldn't expect anything better from these guys and sports news first.

Yes I have great fear of this too. Cameron is a freaking star and if Patton lives up to his billing, lord help the defenders going up against them.

Ah, the delusion. Of course players who are going to sign on with the club when their contracts is going to expire will turn around and demand to get traded...

Adams and Downie.

Out of the ones left off contract, Sumner and Hampton are probably the two I most definitely want back. I think the club rates Adams, Edwards and Phillips quite highly as well. I suspect a lot of the kids who aren't getting games will be on the chopping block simply because of list management (Schulz, Whiley, Aylett).

I knew I was missing one with Adams, I think you'll have no trouble getting him to extend his contract and if Aylett (seems all the NSW zone players are in a bit of trouble) is on the chopping block we'd be more than happy to take him off your hands!

Aylett (IMO) was the most promising of the NSW kids (I like Bruce as well), but recovering from the ACL really put him behind the eight ball and with so many kids there's just going to be some unfortunate ones missing out.

philthy05 · Feb 11, 2013

this is where the whole concessions thing is really bullshit for me.

port came into the league with moderate but fair concessions and we recruited a fair core of our team from the sanfl. fair enough it was different back then, and alot of the state talent is drained compared to back then but we took alot of players from our home state that were never figured to be guns and they turned into stars and/or mainstays of the club.

because gc/gws were given so many 1st round picks alot of their homegrown talent isnt going to be nurtured in the same way. they will be the far too made up of interstate players, and i think that has some affect on how the public engages them.

strauchanie59 · Feb 11, 2013

I actually didn't get the hype around Nick Haynes..I reckon he could be gone this year unless he produces some good numbers, he would've lasted to the 14th pick. They might be regretting picking him over Longer. Sumner is very talented, one of the most beautiful kicks of the footy, once he puts some muscle on, look out.

richmonds · Feb 11, 2013

tyson is an idiot to resign with sheedy as coach, anyway there are plenty of others to go for, **** tyson
