Value of Rich

[tunksy]

While there has been a recent article on the afl website alluding to rich wanting to re-sign with the Lions. I'm wondering what his value would be on the market in terms of draft pick/s and salary.

He is a good user of the ball who seems to have stagnated or stayed at the same level (although last year was statistically his best) he needs to ultimately find more of the ball to become 'elite'. I feel he would go well in Richmonds midfield being 4th or 5th inline for a tag, would use the pill well, is good inside and out and kicks goals. I doubt we have the picks or players to bait him over however.

Would you want him in your teams midfield, what would you pay pick and dollar wise to get him?

a Mid-Late 1st Round Pick

 

[Igloo]

Somewhere between pick 10-14 probably.

 

[Tommy D]

Around pick 10 at the very least. Might need to throw in the second rounder as well.

 

[Bert Man]

A top ten pick for me at the least.

In a top 6 side Rich would excel and be known to be a better player than he currently is. He could be the missing piece in a midfield that requires a good ball user and exceptional kick, and carry that team to finals footy.

 

[half_back_flank]

6-8.

Needs to be single figures. Would shine at a club where he doesn't cop a tag or at the very least when he does other midfielders try and help him out.

I have to agree with you regarding his kicking... Only one of the best going around. Other clubs should only settle for the best

please don't degenerate the thread guys.

Fair enough, what would you give for Rich?

 

[mattyc75]

pick 10ish would get it done i reckon.
If he was being put up for trade the eagles would jump at i i think

 

[Sin City]

Stagnated?

BigFooty amnesia strikes yet another injured player. He finished second in the Lions B&F last year and shouldered a massive load in the midfield.

Top five pick or top six player at a club.

It's amazing how quickly players stagnate when they don't appear on FTA every week or two.

 

[Altum Volantes]

I doubt he'll be going anywhere but if he was keen to return west I say WCE first pick and a decent prospect.

Too much for someone who'd be 5th in line for a tag at Richmond?

our first rounder and a player. astbury needs to be played forward (brown aging) or dare i say it elton who is being groomed for chf and will be a big bloke similar build to cloke, atm his marking is good, his kicking for goal lets him down at times.

first rounder and astbury wont be enough but maybe elton and a first...

I personally don't mind Astbury, and I don't know enough about Elton to form an opinion.

Of course this is all hypothetical as Rich isn't going anywhere.

Pick 2 for Rich and Rockcliff!.........

 

[dajesmac]

Given West Coast are likely to pick up a top ten pick, they are in a good position to make a play for Rich. With Kerr retiring probably this year or next, he'd be a suitable addition.

Whether Rich is willing to come home yet is another issue.

 

[saintsrfreak]

Pick 2 for Rich and Rockcliff!.........

Yeah, because Brisbane would trade away their future for a draft pick...

 

[nickrebellious]

1st round, 2nd round + Savage is probably the best we could offer.

 

[HBF]

6-8.

He'd be a fantastic get for Essendon. Would just about round off their midfield with Goddard coming in last year. Essendon should really have a big go at him, provided they didn't use up their salary cap on Goddard.

probably better than heaps of crappy players

 

[Silvagnis]

Lachie Henderson and Kane Lucas.

Jokes.

Straight swap for Franklin?

think he'd really go well up forward, looks more at ease and natural up there.
