Bluemour 'Silly Season' Edition XXXIV

[Blue__Balls]

RCD had so much hype around him. With the new guys coming in, I guess they've given up on him. Was talked up as being their answer to Cripps but I could never see it.

None of those interest me.

Yeah, just had a quick skim of the Richmond board to see what was being said about RCD.

Taken the pick after Stocker, has some good traits, but just hasn't been able to improve his output enough to warrant a starting spot. Sounds like a poor man's Paddy Dow, to be honest. Good burst, clean hands, bit of height, but still lacks a tank and doesn't stay involved.

Stack apparently has major professionalism deficiencies. Would be interested if we were confident the delisting had given him the required kick up the arse, but think there'd be a pretty high chance of him reverting to poor practices in short order

Martyn I know nothing about, which probably says enough.

I didn't mind Aarts a couple of years back, but reckon he was one who looked good in a strong Richmond side with a very specific gameplan, and looks pretty ordinary when those stars haven't aligned. Minor upgrade on Owies, I suppose, but it'd be a negligible difference and Owies is contracted for a couple more years now, so meh.

 

[Hands On]

would we be interested in Sydney ? delisted by tigers today.

 

[Coops93]

Stack does pique some curiosity. The talent is obvious.

 

[rp84]

Would've thought stack and aarts worth a rookie look

Would've thought stack and aarts worth a rookie look

Just been told "God no" to Aarts in the List mgmt thread - why? Easily capable of 20+ goals in a year. Free hit, DFA on **** all cash. Stack the same, immense talent but hasn't put it together enough. Both worth a look.

but we already have enough rebounding half backs. Probably not the right time in our build to bring in someone that has question marks on his preparation either.

 

[katmanblue]

Would take Stack on a one year deal.

Better risk vs reward than pick 49 on a two deal.

Loads of talent.

Both better than owies by a mile

Retread as a pressure forward?

Yes. One of those things is coachable with the right structures...

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

In before someone suggests picking up Stack and bringing Betts across as a coach/mentor to help him get his life back on track....

I was going to do that as well. Thought that it required a " will Eddie come back to mento him" response.

 

[Hands On]

Could stack run on the wing? Is our culture strong enough to fix his attitude issues?

 

[BrownDog20]

Would've thought stack and aarts worth a rookie look

Not sure Stack is an option after getting rid of Stocker for same issues

 

[ferrisb]

Richmond has informed Jake Aarts, Sydney Stack, Riley Collier-Dawkins and Will Martyn that they will not be offered contracts in 2023.

Interested in Collier-Dawkins.

Because.... If we have learnt anything from Tigers supporters in the last four years, it's that RCD is going to be the next Cripps!

 

[JuddgementDay]

Interested in Collier-Dawkins.

Then he might as well come to CFC and shadow Crippa

 

[ferrisb]

Richmond couldn't get Stack sorted after four years of trying.

What makes us think we'd be able to?

Also true - he does seem like a campaigner of a bloke but Stengle was on a dark path and has turned it around in short order. Stack likely the more talented of the two also.

Would love to know more about Stacks story, feel like I’m blindly judging him. Clearly there is good reason for his delisting.

 

[Kramer1]

I'm equally interested in Stack but it may just be a subliminal love of pancakes.

Something, something, Stengle.

Couldn't keep away from late night Kebab stalls.

Wouldn't mind picking up Stack. Seems like a low risk high reward pick. Not sure how many free spots we have but could be a good option

Are we interested in the dark aarts though? Isn’t our midfield already stacked Will martyn be too dusty? RCD might be a good switch!

 

[SurreyBlue]

A BIG Nooooo to Stack or anyone else delisted.
It’s DRAFT time.

 

[Bletch]

If Stack goes back and performs at state league, consider him then, until then the Stengle comparison is worthless.

 

[ferrisb]

If Stack goes back and performs at state league, consider him then, until then the Stengle comparison is worthless.

Not only is the comparison worthless, it's also too big a risk.

A year at state level to show he's settle is needed before taking the punt.
