To think though Richmond couldn't trade him for peanuts a couple of years ago. The wheel turns.
I don't think they ever wanted to trade him. I think k his manager got a bit ahead of himself and started whoring Dusty around. The AFL intervened though lol. I think they realised that it would **** the tiggas so Vlad was having none of it. Was an extraordinary intervention in hindsight.

You're right in that they didn't originally want to trade him. I think once they realised Dusty was whoring they sat back to see how much interest there actually was. Not that much.

Good point, well made.
I phrased it in a cutesy way, but (if people will allow me to elaborate) I genuinely believe J Grimes is the kind of hard-at-it shutdown player that would really sit well in a top-4 team back pocket role.

Having said that, his brother plays his role well too. But I wouldn't have thought he'd look the same in our team. To be completely fair I haven't watched as much of Dylan as I have of Jack though.

I guess I would just love to see what Jack could do in a better team, because his deficiencies (namely decision making/kicking) would just about disappear when he has better cattle around him.

The correct answer is: whoever can stay healthy for a whole season :mad:

I must admit, I thought you were making the opposite point.

I don't think Hawthorn have any ball butchers in their back half - or anywhere for that matter.

Wasn't sure where to post this.
I've started a season on afl live 2 with Melbourne and have decided to only use the players brought in during the Roos era and Hogan

FB: Newton -- Frost -- Hunt

HB: Lumumba -- McDonald -- Tyson

CT: Vince -- Neale-Bullen -- Salem

HF: Michie -- Vberg -- Stretch

FF: JKH -- Hogan -- Garlett

RR: King -- Brayshaw -- Petracca

Int: Harmes -- Riley -- Cross
Sub: White

What sort of trades should I make during the offseason. I have a rule that I only take 1 player from an opposition club.

Immediate needs I can see are
Ruck
