Cap room is tight but i expect Swans to draft a player and turn him into someone just as good if not better. and will only have to pay rookie wages.

Definitely.
You guys won't want to hear it but your club is very good to deal with.

We like to hear it. No point haggling in this sort of situation. It's the best outcome for everyone.Definitely.

Can see the tigers trying to play Hammer and Nank together. one is great tap ruck, and only just OK around the ground and the other is reputedly the other way around. Loss of Ty means we have space for one more tall on the field.
So a good trade to me. Tigers get a guy that fits the list and required depth. Swans get a pic (not a good one though). Nankervis gets a shot at playing AFL every week, if he can do the job.

What did you think we should get though? In the end he's a third or fourth string ruckman for us. We don't want players because we're looking to develop rookies. It's about all we could expect.

I'd like to thank the Swans for seeing this completed so quickly and without fuss. Hopefully some other clubs can take note. Reckon Swans and Hawks both always very, very fair at the trade table.
Personally thought he was worth a pick in the 30s, he's gone past sinclair imo, and was very good in the finals, so is probably our 2nd string.
But even if he was 3rd string for us wouldnt be suprised if he is Richmonds #1 ruck by midway through next year, keeping in mind we are pretty excellent at developing Rucks, our ruck coach isn't known as the Ruck whisperer for nothing...

More than we received obviously or I wouldn't have commented

Tbh, don't know too much about him, but getting a 24 year old ruckman who seems to have a good reputation from Sydney for pick 46 you can't complain.

Nankervis is 22, not 24.

annoyed Port didnt get in his ear.
we would have got him for peanuts as well...
but knowing us, we would have gone
pick 9 for Nankervis and 2 3rds (cos equal points, so we break even...

Great pick up for Richmond. Feel like he will be a very good player, still only young.

Sydney may have lost out a little on points/picks, but this is an example of their superior culture.
They did the right thing by their 4th in line ruckman and their attitude to look after their players surely has a benefit in itself that transcends picks/points.

You can only pay what you have. If Richmond had a late 30's pick, they would have used that on Nankervis.
I find it stupid comparing trades, because all teams have different picks and a player nominates a club.
Rant over, great pick up by Richmond. Will give Hampson a run for his money.

Nice rant, but I think Nankervis should have played in the GF. In fact, a few of my mates who are Swans supporters were disappointed he was dropped and would have preferred him over Tippett.
I think the Tigers got a good one here and I think he will be their number 1 ruck before the end of 2017.
You are right that you can only pay what you have available. Doesn't mean the Tigers didn't do well out of the deal.

I would have played him over Tippett as well. I liked his Semi final against Adelaide. He was definitely unlucky.
Richmond won this trade easily. Though, its neither here or there. I would have wanted a pick closer to 30, but being a Swans supporter you get use to players being traded on the cheap.

Bet they do it for round 1 then drop Hampson.
