Michael Vo - what is he thinking?

[Denny_Crane]

Offloading picks 28, 44 and Dalziell for three average (at best) footballers in Raines, Staker and Buchanan.

Denny Crane

 

[Spluff]

He's trying to take all the Richmond staff he can get, possibly to emulate our greatness? Raines, McRae, Rawlings - he can have McMahon too if he wants.

 

[Zvim]

Maybe he just wants to show how terrible the other coaches are by turning plodders at best into good footballers.

He does love a challenge.

 

[chubbspeterson]

None of those players have been travelling all that well the last few years, but maybe he thinks he can get the best out of them and gain a bit of experience.

Staker and Buchanan could be earmarked as that 3rd forward and small crumber they're looking for.

Raines won the rising star and at his best is a decent player, but hard to see him getting back to that.

If it works he'll look like a genius, if not, its a Brisbane Hay trade.

 

[gokangas]

Have to admit they all look like average pick ups. Maybe he can see something in them that we can't.

 

[Roxley]

Pretty sure Raines didnt win the rising star champ

 

[lethal03]

He knows the draft is crap.

 

[Paddy_Mac]

Experience and depth maybe? They got smashed by the dogs purely cause they had a very young team. Depth can't hurt, that's what propelled the Saints up the ladder. At least they're trying to improve.

Buchanan could be quite good for the Lions.

 

[Roos4eva]

Buchanan could be quite good for the Lions.

Agreed.

If Voss can get him back to his form of a couple of years ago, they'll have themselves a handy recruit. A change of scenery might be all that's required for Buchanan to revitalise his career.

 

[Yianni]

Dalziell will do well at West Coast. Subi will suit him down to the ground.

It's going to suck, but they'll be a really good team in a few years.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Buchanan could be quite good for the Lions.
