Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

2024 Picks



2025 Picks

 

[number23]

Can’t see any sense in picking him up. Would make our midfield even slower

Solid but with nothing to offer that we don't already have. We can't squeeze the mids that we have into the side and they have more skill.

 

[HedgeFund]

Lyons playing well against us in the VFL. Normally we look for players that audition well against us!

Not when they’re about to turn 32.

Tunstill may be worth a look.

 

[HawksILove]

Tunstill may be worth a look.

Yes, that what I thought, only 20 year old too.

I’ve said it last year and earlier this year and I will say it again. Leek Aleer. What a star. Behind Taylor and Buckley. Go get him Rough!

Hope Sam Mitchell shows the boys GWS in the last 10 minutes. That’s how you defend.

100%
They went for it.

The boys done pretty well the two weeks previous.

 

[Sixpence]

To be fair, the 20 mins before that certainly wasn't.

I seem to recall we've been linked to Ralphsmith in the past. Can anyone confirm that? He's shown some real speed and spread a few times tonight. Looks to have some points of difference.

Admittedly not seen a heap of him over the journey though.

His Dad played for the HFC. Not up to it however.

Yes - of course.

That’s why he was drafted in 2018 and has been on the list of a multiple premiership club for the past 5 seasons.

Playing 37 AFL games (and counting) which is more than quite a few players on our list.

A list which has achieved far less in the past 5 seasons than Richmond - or have I got that wrong?

 

[The Chad and I]

Yes - of course.

You make good points - all of them.
However, a squad player at a club that has achieved more than us over that period is not necessarily someone you take as a rebuilding club.

As I pointed out in another thread, it's too early for us to be building depth. We need to prioritise discovery of high-level talent first.

You'd may as well make the same case for Kyle Cheney. Doesn't mean he was up to it.

Well he managed to hoodwink 3 AFL clubs including their list Managers and senior coaches for 11 years.

You don’t play 85 games if you’re “not up to it”.

Do people think someone needs to play 200+ games to be an actual AFL standard player?

I think what he meant is, Cumberland is an okay player, but not what we need. When fully fit we have a group of about 6-8 players that would be above / around his level that cant make the team already. Need to target guys that we think will be pieces in our next flag.

Ralph-Smith was being discussed, let’s not ever consider Cumberland an acceptable player. He wouldn’t get a game for us, now or ever.

My bad. Cumberland a level above Ralph Smith anyway.

Ralph Smith only getting a game because the cupboard is bare at Tigerland.

 

[KermitJagger]

Lohmann would have been nice but I get the feeling his value has gone to the moon after this season.

 

[hardway]

Time to bring in a couple of A grade game changers. It’s time to take the leap into the top bracket of teams.

you can do both simultaneously. D'ambrosio is clear proof of that.

Make the list better in any way you can. As long as you don't totally Ned Guy your payment structure and sell off all your assets you can always try and go for superstars while still slowly strengthening each tier of your list

If this game doesn't have him sold about our future I'm not sure what will!

Wonder how we would divide up the CBA's if he comes across.

It's going to be hard to fit all of Day, Newcombe, Nash, Worpel, Moore, Mackenzie and Ward as it is.
