This trade is going on way too long.
Surely a week would be more than enough time to get the deals done.
Trade week is the classic definition of stretching the work to suit the time available........hope we have the mother of all gin rumy hands and throw them down at the last minute :eek:

Leading up to the trade period the industry and other clubs believed Vickery was going to be offered a three year deal, Hawks intitially released a statement saying that they had signed him to a three year deal but later changed it to a 2 year deal to ensure Richmond would get a 2nd round pick and not match the offer like they threatened to do if compo wasn't good enough
Interesting to see what comes of it

Doubt there is one. Surely the AFL knew about the whole contract from the start?!?! I assume they would otherwise how can Richmond potentially match terms?

I suspect they didn't expect the uproar. I doubt anything will happen, what are they going to do? Admit they stuffed up, give Richmond another three days from now to match with potentially different compensation?? Richmond a struggling team would just get stuffed, I doubt they would match.
I hope there's a Royal Commission, just cos, u know......it's Hawthorn :D

Throw 38 on the table and walk away .....
Otherwise throw him in the draft with a price on his head and tell em there dreamin ....
This is what Well's was referring to (obliquely) when he said it was more salary cap than draft pick issues that were stopping the trades going forward.

He needs to ensure that we are structured to price Tuohy highly enough that he walks to us and Carlton can f*ck off.

Cocky extended contract too.

They are just stupid fishing.

Dumb... just stupid dumb. Like Hawks 4 picks for 10 and 26 dumb.
Dumb like clearing the top 2 in your BnF dumb
Dumb like getting rid of the top 2 clearance players you had last year.

All for a bloke with no knee and footy for the last 2 years....

DUMB

Maybe Carlton think that they can get a St Kilda/Brisbane happening with us doing a Hawthorn.

Bottom clubs be bottom-clubbing, desperate for any talent that isn't their own - even though they have had higher draft picks, they are realising that they don't know how to develop.

Thats assuming that he leaves.
Can only hope!
Iv got a GIF running round and round in my head where Motlop runs flat out for 15mts then doubles back, runs flat out for 15mts then doubles back, runs flat out for 15mts then doubles back, runs flat out for 15mts then doubles back. . . . . . . .
Its only just replaced the one where he dribble kicks it 20mts to the bloke on the lead 40mts away.

Triple M reported that Xavier Richards has requested a trade.
Not sure what he would require to get a deal done.
Would Geelong be keen?
No currency, unless they want some crappy picks.
Is he a forward or defender?
sydney have no cash - he will go cheap
He been playing lead up forward this year.
Will be cheap,might need to fill kersten spot.
I haven been taking notice of him much,unsure if he's much good or not.

3 way deal for Kersten or Vardy and you'd take it definitely. I'd say though that he'll be off to either the Pies, Saints or Dogs who are in dire need of KP players.
