Ted Richards will thrive elsewhere

I would have liked him to stay, reckon he is about ready to be a regular senior player..Can't blame him for wanting to leave though- Bolton, Henneman and zantuck all got more opportunity than him.

Hey, if the Saints are prepared to cough up pick 17 for Angus Watts, you have to say that the Doggies first round pick for Richards aint that far fetched.

It is far fetched.

Pick 11 for a guy who hasn't done much?

We don't want him as much as the Saints wanted Watts.

I personally beleive that Ted Richards is doing the correct thing in saying that he wants to be traded. He is an extremely underrated footballer and why a man like Kevin Sheedy is not giving him more of a go just bamboozles me. He works his backside off all year round, has a very determined and gritty attitude that typifies a 'never say die' mentality and is a brilliant size for a KP. 194cm and 90 odd kilograms, why isnt he getting a crack at windy hill? He has been badly stitched up a few times which has really hurt his reputation, ie; when Jon Brown bagged 8 on him in his return game this year. If i was Ted Richards i wouldnt worry too much about that, Brown is going to kick plenty of bags of 8 on plenty of opponents during his career!

If he gets traded to the Bulldogs, he will be an instant hit. The Dogs need a tall, marking and leading forward that can be used in defence also. Richards is just that. His young, his agile, his versatile and his fit. He will work very well at the Dogs and just needs someone to really give him a crack. He would go well with Paul Roos as well. He may need to pack on some beef, but has already shown he can play football and just needs someone to beleive in him.

The reason he hasnt been getting a crack is he simply hasnt been ready until this year. Hasnt had enough bulk to start with and he was behind players like Wellman,Solomon,Fletcher and McPhee. He would have played a lot more games this year if he didnt side step Brown in the Brisbane game. The last 7 games he played he did well and he played super well in the VFL finals.
The most annoying thing is now he is finallly shown he is good enough and has built up enough to play as the 2nd/3rd tall back he wants to move.But at the end of the day that is what he is , a second string back and he is replaceable.

What about

Sydney get Ted Richards + 3rd Rounder

and Essendon get Jarad McVeigh

Why the talk of Sydney trading J. McVeigh. Seriously, why would Sydney trade McVeigh? And why would McVeigh want to leave Sydney?

Richards would be very handy for Sydney - I wouldn't trade our first rounder for him, but I wouldn't complain if Roos did. I think we should try and wrangle some kind of deal involving Powell and Saddington.
