If his past two seasons hadn't been cruelled by injury, key defender David Astbury would be an important cog in the Tigers' back six. Knee, foot and hamstring injuries have seen others go past him, however, and he is now being trialled as a forward in the VFL. Contracted to the end of 2016, Astbury certainly has currency, but the question is does he have value to the Tigers in a premiership push? With two games in four seasons, athletic tall defender Todd Elton, who signed a one-year contract for 2015, is also in a vulnerable position. Attacking defender Matt Dea is yet to play in 2015, despite being available, and others may have gone past him in the Tigers' pecking order. He also signed a one-year contract for 2015 and has played 31 games in six seasons. Ricky Petterd hasn't had the good fortune of being available, with a foot injury sidelining him since round three. The 26-year-old is coming out of contract this season and had spent time in the VFL in each of the past two seasons. - Nathan Schmook

No mention of retiring veterans.
I'd hate to see Astbury go, as I think he's got a heap of potential. The others I could live with.
 
todd elton should be moved on. 3rd rounder or try and upgrade one of our picks. elton and swap of 2nd round picks with lions??
astbury kept. more value to us with chaplin nearing the end quality depth.
dea and pettered should go. delisted.
should be a few retirements too
3rd Rounder for Elton - Are you genuine?

Please don't overrate players

Has played 2 games since 2011

Jordan Lisle was traded from Hawthorn to Brisbane in 2011 for pick 29, after having played 5 games.
 
Hmmmmmm,Where have i read that b4?
Hehehe I just like to rub it in seems it's rarely us anymore. Where as in the past 80% of league wide dumb decisions were Richmond trades and draft choices :D

IIRC that was before delisted free agency came in. Clubs won't trade for those that are going to be delisted, just look at us getting Hunt last year.

Nothing. It's an absolute certainty someone makes a howler. :p

What did we get for Graham? Anything more than some ear hair would have been too much.
 
No problems with all of them moving on except Astbury. As already mentioned he is a good player and if Chaplin or Rance goes down he can step in to fill their spot.

If we are considering trading Astbury it'd need to be for something amazing.

We shouldn't be trading away our depth, it means we are screwed if we get injuries.
Our list is not at a stage where we need to turn over every player that can't break into the seniors
thing is elton wants game time. hes out contract so either a club will trade for him or he'll become one of our de-listed so he can play footy elsewhere. depth has gotta want to stay and push other blokes out. young blokes being guaranteed game time generally sees them leave.
 
We'd be crazy to delist Elton. He was looking great earlier this year. Like Astbury, struggled to stay fit, but if he gets a run at it he'll prove his worth. One of those guys who's far more valuable to us than anyone else.

Better off keeping him on a low wage for another year than delist.

Lot of posters are either all out pay a fortune for a player or na he is a dud with delist material written.


The value player does not get a run on this board it seems:cool:

Remember Chaplin will not be around forever
 
Cheerio:

Newman
Dea
Petterd
Knights (if he breaks down between now and end of year, touch wood he doesn't)
Conca
McDonough
Elton
Arnot

Wouldn't want to add more than 4 from the draft, so that'd be 4 replacements needed, just for the senior list
