Baker not a free agent.
With Zurhaar lack of defensive pressure, I don't think we would chase him.

Trading a pick forward into next year's draft is an option.
We don't just need more players. We are at the list stage where we need to be surgical. Trading especially but also in the draft. 'Best available' needs to be tempered.
I don't have concerns though and think our list management is very good.
Agree with this. We need very specific types of players now and all our list management moves should reflect that.

So happy we found a long-term winger in Sharp, and on the cheap, too.
Yeah that looks an absolute bargain at the minute. I was worried after his first couple of games as I thought he wasn't finding it enough and looked a bit timid.
Then he took that defensive contested mark last week had 30 touches this week and suddenly I feel really good about it.

Agree, I am getting more and more on the baker train.
Brandon Starcevich looks to me a good get as a free agent at the end of 2025.
Warner would be brilliant. Stengle is a pipe dream, but is exactly the player we are missing.
Imo Baker will be too loyal -repay the faith Richmond showed him & help the tigers rebuild.I know Bolton signed a contract extension but we’ve got ample picks & Richmond need picks to claw back the ones they lost for Taranto & Hopper.
Although unpopular I’ll say it again,
and again and again……
SHAI BOLTON !!!!!!
Covers the need for speed with bursts from the middle and stoppages…
More a forward than a midfielder in my opinion, but has great footy IQ …. Killed us last year at home in the last quarter - playing on the ball in the wet.
If this isn’t the player we should been over and reamed for I’ll be stuffed…

Why would it be unpopular?

Bolton is my ideal target as the exact type of player we need. Richmond board were starting to turn on him start of year so it gave me a little hope but I think someone would have heard rumblings if he was a chance

Totally agree re Bolton. He is class and has the tank needed for our current game style.
In term all the other potential needs I would just say a week is a long time in footy and the season even longer. Making list management calls based of a game is just not realistic. And the club isn’t going to be doing this.
Let our younger guys have a full season to develop.
Amiss is currently down on form;
Treacy had a few bad plays;
Jackson had a shocker.
Let’s see what next week brings.
They are all young and this is normal development for young KP’s.
Tough calls will need to be made on our older players at the end of the year. But let the year play out.
We are 10 wins away from finals. We have 10 Optus games with 1 away against the Weagles and our home game against them. Win all these and we play finals.

So just Tabs then?
Fyfe and Walters are both contracted for next year. So no tough calls need to be made for them end of this year. Either they get selected in the best 22 in 2025 or they don't.

Contracted doesn’t mean they play.

Hopefully the target was McDonald and now that’s seems to have been squashed, Walls etc have a whole season to get into Shais ear.
I think atm easily our biggest area of need.
So much cash and picks it should be possible.
Really need Richmond to shit it up this season so they go rebuild mode.
Never really wanted Shai. Desire to keep winning, and other possible red flags always thought wasn’t worth the risk..
But can’t help but feel a guy like him on the list yesterday breaks that game apart with his Xfactor

Wild suggestion but just hear me out...
Our 3x First round picks for Pick 1 from West Coast. I don't even mind if it's our future 1st instead of our later pick (likely from port). They go through this year realising they have glaring holes and quantity vs quality wise 3 picks will do them better.
We don't need another 3 kids, we need the best kid. A goal kicking half forward gun who plays from round 1. We need the quality over more kids to develop.
*This is very much dependant on what players are actually available from the draft and I am a hard no if it's just another great midfielder. But worth a look?

Would 2x first rounders be enough in exchange hypothetically speaking for Bolton?
They'd both have to be top ten I'd think and one probably top 5
He's not the only superior player taken after but I don't think we can complain about our drafting in general. It's been far better than most sides recently, especially the ones that don't get gifts.
Will Brodie would be a better fit for both parties.
He’s not getting a game for Freo and would help out their kids.
Unless JOM plays predominantly forward, this trade has stopping WB and Erasmus getting games.
Brodie AND Erasmus may ask out. That’s not ideal.
Then it’s Fyfe and JOM with Johnson.
The 4 years to JOM, after career best season from Brodie still doesn’t make sense.
