How many rookie spots do we have available?

So why did we have to give up 45, given WCE probably take the same guy with 15 that they did with 16.

And who on the board is going to tell him that? Maybe Tredrea, but it’s pretty clear he just does what he wants and tells the rest of the Board what to do.

Or the coaches tendency to pick spuds

Im in the same boat as you, but he was clearly one of our main trade targets in a position we are lacking. For that reason alone id have him pencilled in with Mead the one who makes way. I agree with your assessment on Finlayson and would have him ahead of Lord and Esava for the third...

Yes, he gave a testimony, during which we would have been saying what the club and its lawyer told him to.

It wouldn't have been Houstons defence, the club and its lawyer would have been entirely responsible.

Burton might be soft and lazy but he is undoubtedly AFL standard and a bloody good player when he’s on. Similarly with Williams, outside of being painfully slow, he’s a very good player.

The end of next year you mean?

He’s contracted, do you recon he’s going to sit of out of the AFL until his contract with us expires? No, obviously not. He’d come back here and be motivated to put in an other good year to attract big money offers from Victoria.

We had leverage over Collingwood. “Trade something out to get us another first rounder for Houston or we are keeping him”

This has been blatantly clear for a very long time

Don’t trade him then

Especially the clubs that are piss weak.

All the more reason the club should have tell him to go to North. It is totally inexcusable we let a contracted player strong arm us into taking a lesser offer.

A bloke that a 3 time premiership coach doesn't want and a guy who can't get a game at Collingwood when they've got a mostly fit list and it only cost us a first rounder and the best half back in the game.... Let's get excited.

Wonder if anyone will be silly enough to take 23 & 36 for a late teens pick?

He'll be BOG next time we play Collingwood and win them the game after the siren just to rub salt in.

Don't forget Koch will extend Hinkley's contract because making finals is the pass mark and we wound't want the distraction of Ken being out of contract during finals.

He'd really want to turn himself into the player all the draft hype suggested he'd be, because damn we need it after that trade.

No we aren't.

Richmond aren't a bunch of piss weak clowns.

Because they are all piss weak. The place is a boys club and they are more concerned about looking after each others interests then doing what’s best for the footy club. That’s why they will not be successful until there is a massive clean out.

Unfortunately now apparently officially approved by the AFL

Just tell them you’re in support of the deal, then go to town when you get on air

They are unbelievably weak. How about just tell Houston it’s North of nothing.

Point 1 is an argument for letting Houston go. It’s absolutely does not justify what we got for him.

This ain’t a serious football club anymore, that’s beyond embarrassing

Something happened

So we have given up Houston and a future first for pick 13 and a bunch of guys who aren’t wanted by their current club, aren’t good enough to get games and a heap of late picks. This is literally the worst trade deal ever.
