I rate the man and we are desperate for another ready made midsized goal kicker. Don't question Dimma. Dimma knows what he's doing
On a 3 year deal, worth 400k AND we have to give up a 2nd round draft pick???
Go and get well and truly ****ed.
When will clubs realise that sometimes when clubs find themselves in situations like this, other clubs like us are best to let them stay there. Seeing Brisbane carry such an expensive dead weight is better than us taking them off their hands on the cheap.
It ****s their salary cap for 2-3 years and seriously restrains them from competing financially.

Do you want us to get better or Brisbane to get worse?
I agree.Shuffling the deck chairs is not getting better. He's in the same bracket of players all competing for game time, and none of us are any the wiser as to will make it and whol will not.
I'd rather invest in an unknown kid, than invest in a headcase thats gonna cost 400 large each year. Sherman... l feel like l'm gonna be sick.
Sherman... laughable. He will make Tucks decision making look supersonic.
Completely agree.
Why is it that Richmond are always the one shopping around other peoples trash hoping to find a little nugget. Does anyone really think that Geelong and Collingwood would even entertain the idea of getting Sherman?
Jesus Christ... l want a recruitment model thats going to see us win a premiership. Sherman is exactly the type of junk that sets teams back, not takes them forward.
We get rid of one high-paid turnover merchant (McMahon) and we go and recruit a more expensive one with worse skills and worse decision making. What are we honestly doing? I, hand on heart, would rather we just keep McMahon for another year. It costs us less and it will prevent us from giving away a draft pick. Callan Ward, Callan "****ing" Ward everyone.
When will people learn? I'm too tired to type anymore, tell me its a sick joke, someone, please!

In saying that, we shouldn't completely ignore trading just because in the past we have been terrible at it in the past. It can give you a good mix but it's difficult because of 2 things.

AMy biggest fear is DH may overrate the list and will go too hard too early instead of just taking the extra pain for extra gain. He said he wouldn't do that many times and won't take shortcuts. I expect him to stick to this sort of mantra. This type of attitude will see us have success. He hasn't done much wrong yet so I can have faith in him but being a Richmond fan at this type of year no matter who is in charge makes you nervous. Especially these players we're being linked to.

A) Teams will not willingling trade away good players, even if players wanted to leave they would do everything they can to keep them.
B) Generally players being traded away are fringe players (Houli) or players who have had a poor season and are limited (Sherman).
These 2 points alone work against you in finding good trades. Houli and Sherman are not the right targets and would be be major busts ala Thomson/Hislop/McMahon, etc. List goes on.
Hit the draft, we only just started to draft well. Trade away unwanted players for picks ala Raines and Schulz, only trade for players if it's a very good deal and the right player. Why go topping up with more senior experienced players when we're a fair way off it? Chasing recycled players is generally a means of topping up to have a crack at a flag. We're a long way off which we're a fair way off in terms of our development. We're still in rebuild mode.

Can't add much more than that from both of you. I absolutely agree.This draft, although heavily compromised, is meant to be one for the ages. Talent galore. Yes GC will reap the rewards, but why are Adelaide, Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Hawthorn considering using their compensation picks this year? They have the option to use an 'end of first round selection this year' which will be selection 26 minimum. Or they could wait a couple of years and it becomes selection 19 or 20.
Its because they recognise that the draft this year is far stronger than most years, it bats deep. Our 2nd pick is in early 30s (l think) and we're giving that away for someone like a Sherman?!?!
Oh dear. Anyone else smell the dejavu of Wallace and his 2nd up attempts at a draft.
We havent learnt a thing.
4 years, 6 years, 15 years, i'm so lost with what he is trying to get across. i tried clearing it up last night without success.
