He would be stupid not to take 4 years. Afraid he’s gone. A bit of a shame considering I thought he showed something throughout the season.

I would offer 3 years with a trigger for 4th
And hope that's enough
Mind blowing
There’s actually not a lot of untapped talent on Port’s list.
If Richards was to go then you’re really looking at Bergman or maybe an Ollie Lord who could challenge Cox for a forward/ruck role.
I’d be more interested in involving a third club to get a Peatling, Berry or Davies type.
I love Joey but as others have said if we can use a list strength in small forwards to improve our list I’d be ok with it. We could potentially replace with a mature age small forward type as well.

I'm down with that. He wants to come back home so it's an opportunity that's come knocking.
Next question is, what would the trade look like?

It paid off, but boy was it risky. Imagine if someone got injured in the first quarter and we had to sub him in early.The Old Revenge Sub Manoeuvre into a Dropping. A classic

Bergman looks a ripper to me.

Ah yes, I believe you are referring to the unfortunate series of events that occurred in 1987 at the La Palma Polo Club in Ecuador? The unexpected early substitution of the Argentinian firebrand El Diablo? Turned into a goddamned bloodbath.

What’s his value to Collingwood?
Who would he push out / take over from?
Our 30+ year old players:
Pendlebury - no.
Howe - no.
Sidebottom - maybe (wing role).
Cox - no.
Elliott - possibly (we also have Harrison when he comes back from ACL)
Mihocek - no.
Mitchell - no.
WHE - maybe (forward role).
Crisp - no.

Very similar to ginnivan situation. I really like Richards but can't imagine we would offer 4 years to someone who has played 8 games. Given his age, he should take the deal and run. Just hope we can get better compensation this time

If the stories about us being interested in Keane and Berry from Crows are accurate, then we might use whatever picks we get from Power to help get that done
There's plenty of players he could push out like Mcreery Noble Bytel ect.
Also there will always be injuries so its a moot point
Am i out of line in thinking Steele would be a good option down forward? We really need to sure up our mids/wings in terms of age going forward. Goal nous , good disposal , crafty.

Bergman. That’s where I’d start and finish with Port.

Reckon Steele might turn into a bit of a spare parts man. Sometime tagger, sometime mid, etc. Dunno if he is quick enough for the forward line these days.
Many years ago, a colleague approached our boss, seeking a pay rise, explaining that he had been offered X by a rival firm. The boss replied, "That is above market for your skill set. It's a good offer. You should take it."
does anyone see a scintilla of irony
AND 12 mths later,
now, if you were to do the net trade capital maths:
As Alanis Morissette once said:
"An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day"
.. lack of planning /foresight, incompetence, discontinuity in list management or perhaps a tad ironic!
- that we paid a 1st + 2nd rounder to bring in a small forward who was out of contract (OOC) in 12 mths time
AND 12 mths later,
- we're losing an up & coming small forward who is moving for greater opportunity and valued by another club to be offered 4 yrs but given his OOC status we will likely receive peanuts
now, if you were to do the net trade capital maths:
- _OUT 1st + 2nd rounder / IN small forward Schultz
- _IN likely peanuts (nothing) / OUT small forward Richards
- Schultz also likely occupying 3-4 times the cap space that Richards will have been on as minimum chips player. Even after an upgraded offer put to him this year, Richards likely stil the cheaper option.

12 months ago most of this board wanted Richards delisted.

What do you think the reaction around here would be if we offered Richards a 4 year deal?

I like the idea of Richards on the wing and I think both wings have a vacancy sign up. Steele to stay as a run with and the Josh to half back move is a winner. When Checkers returns, WHE might get one of the wings. I also think we need back flankers - and he'd be a possible there in a Nick Daicos style of back flank role.
But if we can turn him into a KPD - Keane or a more proven running flanker like Bergman - good stuff.
Of all the people I expected to be quoted on BF today
12 months ago where do you think the list mgmt crew at CFC rated Richards ..that's a bit rhetorical but have a stab!
assuming i know in which ballpark your answer will land, i'd suggest that in itself is an issue .. not knowing exactly what you have on your list is not exactly a position of strength.
or put another way, if the club's assessment of a player is in line with the bf community's assessment, with both being wildly inaccurate ..then it's no wonder we get bent over in many of our trade negotiations

If it's true, we sure as hell shouldn't match it. Richards should take the deal and we should try to get enough to pay for a target for us like Keane.

Why are you always pushing the panic button? Can you at least let the season finish before negatively critiquing a trade week that hasn't even happened yet, geez Louise.

His do we get that done. Or has Houston designated another club?
