Re: Ruck Trade at seasons end?

the talk here in SA is we are very keen on Jackson Trengove who is out of contract this yr
an he is unsure if he want to sign or head back home to vic

Come across Jackson! Only Issue is will Rance, Grimes, Astbury and Trengove be to many tall defenders.

Re: Who Should We Target At Trade Time?

if it is too many its depth, they dont all have to play every game.. What happens if rance gets injured?

Re: Who Should We Target At Trade Time?

Not sure if it's already been mentioned on here, apologies if it has, but I reckon Jackson Trengrove would be a great target for us.

Young and is really showing signs at Port this year. He in tandem with Vickery would be a great duo for many years to come. Can play down back as well.

And let's face it, what's worth sticking around Port for?

Has put contract talks on hold as been mentioned but I think he'll stay. They backed him in and picked him when other clubs didn't after his injuries. I think he'll repay them. Would be huge if he moved.

Have it on 100% secure authority that we are throwing large money in a front-ended 4 year deal at McIntosh. Unhappy with Goldstein replacing him as long term ruck 1 at North. North not willing to pony up the cash he wants as they're saving for a crack at D Swallow next season.

Thoughts on this as potential?

I am warming to the idea of McIntosh - as long as his body is right. Four year deal is a long time, but I have no doubt that if we chased him we will have done due diligence on his health. He's a good player. 27 is old for a midfielder, and I may not be interested in that case. But 27 is peaking age for a ruckman, and he's already been at the top level before. His injuries are my only concern.

Players I'd be interested in as of 22/6/2011 (realistically) - Trengove, Toy, McIntosh, Z. Clark.

Re: Who Should We Target At Trade Time?

whoa, that's not a backline, it's a dynasty..make it happen

Ha ha loved this call.

Firstly I would give up our first round pick this year which will be between 16-22 most likely than give up our compo pick. Pick 18-25 next year will be of higher value imo. This draft is not rated at all in comparison with the next.

Trengove was taken at pick 22 in an extremely strong draft after having done a knee. Initally was rated in the top 5 prospects. He is only a 3rd year player but has shown quite a bit. It is in the next few years where he will come through and start peaking similar to what we are seeing with Rance now.

Therefore I would happily offer up our first rounder and maybe even a player to get the deal done. This guy will be a gun CHB for the next 10 years...would allow the following to happen:

Newman, Rance, Grimes,
Houli, Trengove, Batchelor

(Lids obviously winning a Brownlow with Martin and Cotch in the middle)

Astbury could then potetially play CHF or 3rd tall with Griffiths and Riewoldt and Vickery will be dominating in the ruck.

Unless the GOO starts dominating in the 1's as of this week which I believe he can do, but Trengove is a bigger version.

IS SCULLY HAPPY?

The whispering campaign has already started that Tom Scully is worried about more than just cash.

The story goes that Scully doesn't believe he can be his best at Melbourne and is worried about the direction of the club.

Even club great Garry Lyon said on Saturday the club needed to do everything it could to satisfy Scully and ensure money was the only factor for him considering departing.

But when the Buzz spoke to Scully on Sunday after his 26-touch game, he couldn't have been more emphatically behind coach Dean Bailey.

"Dean has been exceptional with the way he's handled himself,'' he gushed.

Who knows where the truth lies?

The only certainty is that Scully's decision will be dragged out until season's end.

Richmond is the place where you want to be Scully. You can see that Damien has gotten the best out of players even dud players who we thought were duds like Rance
Plus Scully can get autographs from Richo anytime anywhere

This is an incredible post. Especially the bolded part. I like Astbury down back but if we have enough defenders that he's allowed to be a luxury up forward, then great. I hope Dimma and FJ are thinking about the part in bold if it's true.

WOOTTTWOOTTT!!!

TRENGROVE. BUMBUMBUM!!!
Awesome. Just terrific. Everyone wants to come to our bucket full of talent.

Re: Who Should We Target At Trade Time?

I love it how Port fans and some in media feel Trengove should re-pay the faith Port showed in him when they drafted him becuase of his leg injury issues leading up to the draft.

The fact is Blair Hartley was Ports National Recruiting Manager when Trengove was drafted and he is with not with Port now, He's with us...

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

Re: Who Should We Target At Trade Time?

Like the idea of trengrove. Have a pretty good relationship with port when it comes to trading though that was with chocco.

And does anybody know when H-Mac's contract expire, might be able to pick him up in the PSD if we have a pick.

Also wouldnt mind trying to get a young guy who can be drafted next year as there is a lot of talent in that group.

Your post sounds like you're in favour of getting Trengrove, but at the same time you're not. So do you want him or not?

Re: Who Should We Target At Trade Time?

The Big H's contract expires this year.

Is anyone else looking forward to having all contract expiry dates released when FA comes in at the end of this year? The one positive byproduct of a horrible shift for the game.

Re: Who Should We Target At Trade Time?

I should clarify here that we won't be able to get him for a PSD pick - North will force us into a trade knowing GWS (who don't want to trade for him or tempt him with the big bucks) can snap him up before us in the PSD. They'll be looking for a late first or second + fast outside player package. The current word out of the club is that they're very hot on Richmond's compo pick and the flexibility it brings over the next couple of years - it's unlikely they'll acquire one of their own as the new franchise isn't too keen on any of their available talent now Zieball and Swallow are off the menu.

Re: Who Should We Target At Trade Time?

I'd also love to see some footage of Trengove if anyone has anything decent. He's an interesting prospect.

Shit, second rounder and a fast outside player I'd be willing to part with! Second rounder and Edwards? Even Nason might suffice if we can give him the Collins treatment.

I'm definitely keen on getting him to the club, My only knock on him is his kicking but Dimma has proven with Rance that with better decision making and the ability to withstand pressure you can stop it from ruining a players game.

I'm also keen on Richmond seeing what options they have to access to the U17 year olds.

Particularly O'meara, Stringer and Crouch. I don't think we'll have enough to give to get O'meara but Stringer is an interesting one given his broken leg.

I doubt they'd even consider Nason. Edwards would have small currency. Would probably take more. I could envision a 'sign and trade' w/ Nahas - word is North amongst others are monitoring his situation. Would make valuable and replaceable currency.

We actually don't have to trade for H-Mac, as a 'Restricted Free Agent' all we have to do is offer him more $ then what North can offer and the AFL will compensate North with a compensation pick.

Re: Who Should We Target At Trade Time?

I'm sorry I should of been more clear, I thought we were discussing getting him when Free Agency comes in, I would be dead set against trading for him, Trengrove from Port I would give up draft picks for but not a 27 year old, Free Agency yes, Trading no.

 

[popcap]

Re: Who Should We Target At Trade Time?

As his contract is expiring this year he'll have to be traded or go to GWS if he moves (which he will).

He would also be a UFA if this was next year, we wouldn't have to give anything to get him.

I think the upside of trading low value assets ala Edwards and a 2R dp for a talented and high-ceiling veteran ruckman far outweigh the potential negatives. Not only could he contribute to building a 'win-now' philosophy in the rooms and admin, but he'd also provide great assistance to our young rucks over the next four years.

Obsession with youth can only go so far (although I know it rears its rabid head on this board on a regular basis).

My bad I thought he was out of contract at the end of 2012.

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/preparing-for-free-agency-20110618-1g91w.html

The top 25 per cent, effectively the top 10 at each club, coming out of contract at the end of 2012 and who have spent at least eight seasons with that club will be declared "restricted" free agents. They can take offers from rival clubs, but their current club can match the offer, in which case the player may stay, request a trade or nominate for the draft. Original club gets a compensation pick.

Re: Who Should We Target At Trade Time?

I have been wanting this kid at richmond since before he was drafted & was getting excited when pick 20 came around and he was still available with only 4 seelctions left BLOODY PORT POWER calls out his name.

Jackson Trengove should be number 1 priority for the richmond football club we would have completed our spine with young players all under 22
Rance,Trengove,Astbury,Post,Grimes,Griffiths,Riewoldt,Vickery

1st round selection should get the deal done or 2nd rounder + Edwards
Trengove,Jackson 197cm 97kgs 21yo

To be perfectly honest he is woth that , Ask yourself this What would we want in exchange for Tyrone Vickery Atm !

Jackson would of been a top 10 pick if it wasnt for his injury in the year he was drafted & That is no longer an issue along with 3 years of development.

1st round pick , I would do no questions asked ............. Done deal

You have to remember that our first pick this year will be around Pick 16-18 in a normal draft without the GWS concessions that equates to about pick 30, now ask yourself would you trade Pick 30 for Trengove?
