Your wish list !

["The Roar Is Back"]

Would be interested in everyones opinion on off season dealings !
Definately Out : Simmonds, Cousins

I hope ; McMahon, Polo

If we can upgrade let go ; McGaunne , Thompson, Hislop

 

[L_J_T]

Outs - Simmonds, Cousins, McMahon and Polo.

In - Michael Rischitelli (Not Daniel lol)

 

[fightingfury]

- a couple more quality midfielders
- a big strong defender
- a decent ruckman that can compete week in week out

 

[theyellowsash]

is rischitelli really quality though. he gets the ball but ive heard he butchers it a bit and we should really be targeting quality outside users.

 

[Madtiger2006]

Outs: simmonds, cousins, mcmahon, hislop, polak, nahas, thomson, roberts
ins: some draft picks

I can't see us delisting more than 8 players. Polo may be lucky. Btw, what are people thinking by having Mcguane traded? He is our best tall defender remember. I like Gourdis but he has had 9 goals kicked on him in his first 2 games don't forget. Should have been 10 goals but Waite missed a goal form 10m last week. You'd be a moron to trade Mcguane and bank our future on Gourdis after only 2 games

Sounds like we are on the same page although wasn't it rumoured hislop got another year. Polo might be worth one last chance, we just have to work out how to get him to play like he did on his debut every week.

 

[mad_doggy911]

I'd definitely want Rischitelli if he was interested in coming to Victoria.

Brisbane can have McGuane or Thursfield or he can walk into the PSD.

 

[nathanchelsea]

if we got chris knights id jizz

 

[Madtiger2006]

I think Polo would be a better choice than jacko as a defensive midfielder. I hope Hislop hasn't got another year

 

[Bazzar]

I hope Hislop hasn't got another year

I hope he does. He has been hampered all his career with injury, and had a senile Sheeds and a hack Wallace in charge of his footy. I want to see one quality pre season and a year under Dimma and Leppa to see if they can transform him like they have done with others, before the decision to delist or trade is made.

There is no way Polo has the tank to be a midfielder. Also does not have the skill or awareness.

 

[folester41]

simmonds, cousins, mcmahon, polo, nahas, hislop and thomson can all go.

plus polak from the rookie list.

This!

 

[JR#8]

Gone: Simmonds, Cousins

Delist ; McMahon, Polo, Hislop , Polak

Possible Recruit Targets ; Micheal Rischitelli = Really hope we try for him. Is a gun and would gel well into our mid-field.

Trade bait ; McGaunne , Thompson, Nahas (But I'd like to give him one more year) Tambling...despite what a lot of people on here said I'd like to shop him around.

 

[The Rusty Trombone]

I hope he does. He has been hampered all his career with injury, and had a senile Sheeds and a hack Wallace in charge of his footy. I want to see one quality pre season and a year under Dimma and Leppa to see if they can transform him like they have done with others, before the decision to delist or trade is made.

Good point as the coaching team are definately improving every player but I think you find Hislop can just not hit a target under pressure by foot and by hand. Easy decision for the coaching staff , delist

 

[Mario Speedwagon]

McMahon , Polak , Polo & Thompson are surely gone. Ironically, Hislop's injury this year could actually work in his favour.

Jackson, McGuane and Edwards put on the trade table if we're even remotely serious.

Tambling possibly as well, though I think he's crucial to team balance IF he comes good AND Hardwick plays him at hbf where he belongs , releasing one of either Lids & Connors to the middle where they belong and will add much needed class....if he plans to play Bling anywhere else though, then I'd rather we try and trade him instead.

We probably need to save a few bullets for next year's draft & trade week and, more importantly, 2012's..

 

[Bazzar]

Gone: Simmonds, Cousins, Polly.

Delist ; McMahon, Polo, Thompson

Recruits i would love to have. Roughy (FF) or Kennedy (CHF)

Trade bait if quality return is guaranteed - everyone except Jack, Cotch, Dusty, Lids, Edwards, Astbury and the Goo.

 

[Tigerballs]

Out:Simmonds, Polak, McMahon, Polo, Hislop, Thomson, Cousins, Gilligan, Westhoff.
Rookie upgrade: Robert Hicks, Jamie O'Rielly
Rookie retained: Pat Contin
Players for trade: Will Thursfield, Kelvin Moore, Alex Rance, David Gourdis or Luke McGuane. No room for all of them in the team.

 

[Bojangles17]

I think Polo would be a better choice than jacko as a defensive midfielder. I hope Hislop hasn't got another year

polo aint half the player of jacko, that's staggering MT

 

[Azzleberry]

Retired: Cousins, Simmonds
Delisted: Polak, Roberts, Thomson, McMahon, Hislop, Polo (if none can be traded)
That opens up 7 spots on the list (Plus one rookie spot)
Upgrade Rookies: Gourdis, Browne and Hicks
Retain Rookies: O'Reilly, Grimes
Therefore, we have 4 rookie spots open and 4 spots on the list to fill..

Potential trades: White, Thursfield or McGuane, Nahas and Rance (Although really rate him, so would need to be used to get an elite talent) and any of the delistee's if a club is stupid enough to offer a 5th rounder etc..
So, we have 4 list spots and 4 rookie picks.. Trades should focus around upgrading picks. I would be trying to trade into the teens and low twenty picks. I would prefer to lose players if it meant we could have picks 6, 18ish, 23ish, 28ish, 50 etc.
This should be our priority this year. We can look at trading for other players when free agency arises. In saying that, various rumours are going around about Rischatelli, Veszpremi, Ash Smith and Chris Knights. I would be happy to bring any of those to Punt rd, as long as we don't use our 1st rounder and we trade back into the second round if that pick is used.

Therefore, in an ideal world, the 5 list spots would be filled as per below (Example of range of picks):
1# Pick 6 (already ours)
2# Veszpremi (Rance)
3# Pick 22 (upgraded pick 50ish for this and lose McGuane type)
4# Pick 30 (already ours)
5# Pick 61 (White)
6# Pick 67 (already ours)
7# Pick 80ish
8# PSD Pick
(Assuming we have the 5 picks and then 3 spaces to fill, due to losing White, McGuane or Thursty, Nahas, Rance)
One last clean out will be really beneficial to the club, however, only if we can get the highest possible picks.. Would love to have 3 picks in the top 30 players of the draft this year and we can always trade for key players and top up in 2012 when free agency hits and we should be on our way to being a top 8 club!!

 

[Tiger_Stripes]

Any suggestion Edwards should go anywhere completely destroy all credibility of a post. Future star for the club with more development and a bigger tank. Will add that freakish element to our midfield.

Whilst I'm not for a lot of these suggested trades, RFC has said we'll be trading aggresively. With that in mind, players like White, Polo with not enough upside (well, Polo has upside but he lives on a downhill slope) will be put up. All these ruminations like Chris Knights coming to Vic will probably turn out to be ploys for more money like similar past stories have been.

 

[Madtiger2006]

polo aint half the player of jacko, that's staggering MT

Can't compare until Polo plays at least 2 months as a tagger in Richmond colours

 

[CASS1]

Out: Simmonds, Cousins, Thompson, McMahon, Polak, Gilligan,

Maybe: Nahas, Roberts, Hislop (i rate his attack on the footy, started okay up forward.. potentially: hislop > king..?

Safe: White, Polo, Tambling (All could be worth something, but im bemused as to why bling cant get a sustained run in the midfield.. polo i have faith in)

I think 6 is enough, 2 rookies, 4ND, potential trades from the safe category.

Agree with stripes, edwards is a future silky-star.
And with MT.. though i rate Goo heaps: McGuane, Thursty and Moore are all good backs.. rarely beaten in a major manner! i mean 5+ goals

Should be interesting all the same

 

[foley_12]

Therefore, in an ideal world, the 5 list spots would be filled as per below (Example of range of picks):
1# Pick 6 (already ours)
2# Veszpremi (Rance)

I think Veszpremi would be the perfect fit for Richmond and trading for Rance and potentially a pick aswell would be a great scenario

Sydney do have a shortage of key position backs whilst we have a surplus, this could work out well for both clubs

 

[Goldust]

I think Polo would be a better choice than jacko as a defensive midfielder. I hope Hislop hasn't got another year

NEVER been much of a Jackson fan, as you'd know ... but he is light years ahead of Polo and I don't think ol' Deano is going to get any better.
Lost his way big time in 2010 and to be quite honest, he's been damn poor!
