Trade period is so uneventful that they're reporting on which players are in limbo from whatever clubs they feel like every day.

Ok at this point, there is no way we are giving up 11 in the Bolton trade. Looks like 10 and 18 is basically a lock
Wonder if they'll cover all 18 clubs by this time next week.

Next Wednesday about lunch time.
Correct could be something like F3 to them and 61 to us. It will need to be a sweetener for Richmond.
10,18, F3 > Bolton, 61
"Embarrassment"? Pffft... are we a footy club or insecure teenagers clinging to the wall at the school formal?
We struggle in the retention area and Bell gives every impression of being unimaginative and even a bit archaic in that area. Hogan's talent was undeniable and what he got from GWS was a chance to find his way. It's pretty clear how beneficial that has been to both parties.
I don't see why we need to provide a sweetener tbh but if it's somehow the difference between the deal getting done and not getting done I guess you just do it.
Picks 10 and 18 with nothing coming back would be just about the most traded for a player that's around Bolton's age and ability IMO. Players traded for more are usually younger and often slightly better.
Define slightly better? I doubt any have as much X factor even if they are a better mid.
Bolton is 25 atm. Age is perfect for us.

I dont think we can afford to move anything out of next year tbh. I dont want to move 11 to next year but I can see us looking at doing draft night trades to move down the order for future points with our 2nd round pick.
Extra points will be handy after giving up the world for Warner
It’s the slightest of sweetener. F3 in 2025 likely to be something like 57. Pick 61 (is the first pick of fourth round) and will come back quite a bit so it ends up around mid 50. It helps us because our current last pick is 67 and the F3 is prob too far down the list to be of value. We can easily pick purchase some late second/ early third round picks for academy purposes.
You say that now, but wait until Bolton goes for 11 and 28, leaving us 10 and 18…what’re you going to do then?

AFL Trades 2024: Richmond at centre of trade period stalemate with West Coast, Fremantle, Gold Coast deals

Richmond are at the centre of a frustrating hold-up in this year’s trade period as they refuse to budge on three of the biggest deals of 2024.
The Tigers are negotiating deals to trade out Liam Baker, Shai Bolton and Daniel Rioli to West Coast, Fremantle and Gold Coast respectively.
It could lead Adem Yze’s team with an incredible draft hand, but they’re haggling over picks has haltered any deals with no movement on a stagnant Wednesday frustrating pundits.
Fremantle are believed to have tabled two of their three first-round draft picks in exchange for Bolton — who still has four years to run on a deal at Punt Road.
They want to hand over picks No.10 and No.18, while the Tigers are understood to want No.10 and No.11 as they look to maximise the loss of the 2022 All-Australian.
“A few of the players are contracted and contracted for a long period of time so it’s really on the club’s that they’ve chosen to come to us,” a defiant Richmond list boss Blair Hartley told reporters on Monday.
Fremantle general manager of football talent, strategy and special projects Peter Bell said the Dockers had made a strong offer to Richmond for Bolton as talks remain at a stalemate between the clubs.
Shai Bolton. 2024 Getty Images“We’ve gone in with what we consider to be a really strong offer. As everyone’s aware the draft is very strong, so the offer we’ve put forward is strong on any given year, but particularly this year we believe it to be a strong offer,” Bell told Trade Radio.
“There’s a fair amount of negotiation to go ... hopefully from a Fremantle perspective we can make it work.”
AFL Trades 2024: Peter Bell says Fremantle Dockers have put strong offer to Richmond for Shai Bolton
AFL Trades: Fremantle great David Mundy says Richmond forward Shai Bolton could be missing piece for flag
AFL Trades 2024: West Coast recruit Jack Graham says Andrew McQualter, Liam Baker influenced move to Eagles
Top WA draftee Bo Allan — who won a premiership with Fremantle’s WAFL affiliate Peel Thunder — is expected to fall around pick No.11 in the draft and could be why the Dockers want to hold onto the selection.
Richmond also want a first-round pick for out-of-contract vice-captain Liam Baker, who is looking to move to West Coast after they announced former Tigers midfield assistant Andrew McQualter as their new coach.
Liam Baker wants to be at West Coast next season. AFL PhotosWest Coast only have pick No.3 at this stage and while they are open to splitting that selection, it’s not likely to be part of a deal for Baker unless the Tigers can package up a reasonable pick in return for the midfielder.
This leaves West Coast needing a deal for sending Tom Barrass to Hawthorn to go through before they can land Baker, with negotiations continuing on that front.
West Coast are believed to want more than the Hawks’ pick No.14 and while they are unlikely to get another first-round pick for the 29-year-old defender, a future second-round pick or this year’s second-round selection (currently pick No.33) could be part of the package.
The Tigers are also haggling with Gold Coast over the price for recently-crowned club champion Daniel Rioli, with the Suns’ pick No.6 not enough at this stage to get the deal across the line.
Richmond coach Adem Yze. 2024 Getty ImagesGold Coast seemingly hold the cards when it comes to a trade for Port Adelaide’s Dan Houston, with both Carlton and Collingwood chasing their pick No.13 to on-trade to the Power for the two-time All-Australian.
Richmond already hold picks 1, 24, 32, 42, 43, 45, 51, 61, 70 and 76 in this year’s draft.
Really nothing new/of substance in all that
Apparently Gold Coast want 13 to end up at Port for Houston, which will allow Port to trade their future 1st for Lukosius. There is literally 0 chance it ends up at Richmond
Kapow!!!

Other than sheer, unadulterated entitlement which we're getting in spades from the Richmond press and fans it should never have been even close to a legitimate thought unless it was on its own without 6 being in the conversation.
Seriously how far removed from reality are the Jon Ralph spruiked Tigers Literally expecting to rebuild all in 1 off season because Richmond?

This will backfire for the Tigers
They will lose Baker Martin and Graham for scraps and not have the draft hand they want if they become too picky

Who can we target in place of Bolton if we decide to piss Richmond off? Rachele?
Tigers are sensing this is a lachie Weller situation where gc are over committed to bringing him in. Not sure that gc are quite as desperate these days.
