Are you Joel Bowden?
Only reason I ask is because you seem to think, just like him, that the amount of possessions one gets is the best indicator of how well someone plays.

No, I don't. But do you seriously think trading a guy who gets 2 kicks a game for a guy who won a club B&F last year is a fair deal?
Interesting Quotes - tell me K - BF is not all about you being correct I hope.
I have to laugh. This started out with me telling you I would not trade Hammo for Lids and YOU told me I would LOL
AND NOW
It sounds like you are not prepared to offer much more than a straight swap anyway for our 'freak athelete'

There have been some trades thrown up, and when you consider how good Hampson "could be" in the next couple of years, I'd imagine a club might take a risk. Personally, I wouldn't him, or anyone else for that matter for Deledio.
I must agree HBF....................what damage has been done to Deledio by Richmond?
I don't mean that to seem nasty, but they have had very little if any development programs in place in his early years. I would fear also he has been infected by the culture of the last 20 years at Richmond..........the selfish "I" attitude that has never let some otherwise good "teams" achieve some sucess......not saying he is a selfish player atm, but what affect has his environment had on his mental state?
Wow, I sure hope Richmond trade their most valuable player for Hampson.
That would be awesome.
That would be awesome.
Let's put it this way, would you rather have Hampson averaging 17.2 hitouts per game as your ruckman, or Pattison (7.7 per game) & Graham (12.1 per game)? Maybe Richmond should have been using Bowden as a ruckman, because apparently the number of possessions a ruckman gets is more important than actual ruckwork.

Ruckwork is overated in my opinion. There's no way I would trade our best midfielder to get a player who is going to get 5 extra hitouts per game. Especially when Graham has started to look like a player and we have just drafted a ruckmen with our first pick.
Graham and Pattisons job is to hit it to Deledio. If he's not there it makes things kinda difficult.
That would be all good & well if Deledio regularly played in the midfield. He seems to be being protected from the midfield, in much the same way as another #1 draft pick (Hodge). This has been made even more so since the arrival of Cousins, who seems to have pushed Deledio further down the midfield pecking order at Richmond.
Whoever coaches Richmond next year must 'bite the bullet' & delist Cousins & play Deledio permanently in the midfield, preferably as the #1 midfielder. He is not going to gain any confidence as a midfielder while playing a bit part role behind the likes of Cousins, Foley, Jackson etc.

Can't see it happening. I think unless you are moving interstate (i.e. back home) or don't get along with the coach (well thats not an issue) then you don't leave one Melbourne based club for another.......happens very rarely.
The Tiges aren't as good as they though they were in round 1, but they aren't as bad as they are playing right now. He will look at the young mids in Cotchin, Foley, and the young forwards in Morton and Riewoldt, and the young defenders, and think with a small amount of justification, that they could be going places some time soon.
Sad......but true. Richmond and Freo are places good footballers go to become hacks.......and hacks go to become captains.

pattison has always been the number 2 ruckmen. and graham has played under 10 games. why you are persisting with this trade i don't know because we won't take it.
Since this thread is just conjecture and fanciful possibilities - it was reported in Adelaide that Shaun Burgoyne is refusing to sign on until Mark Williams' contract is extended - now he's definitely a player worth getting!!!!!!!

I have consistantly maintained that I would not trade more than our second pick and Hamma for lids. I believe this deal would advantage Cartlon, but it would be unlikely that richmond would go for it. I just dont think we should really be chasing lids. I do think that we should trade Hampson though as he would have more value to other teams than us and would give the kid a chance to be first ruck somewhere else and give US a chance to get paid over the odds for him.
Yes Hampson is a "freak athelete" five........but thats ALL he is ATM
If you were on our MC and declined a striaght swap (even though richmond would NEVER offer it) you would be more unpopular than JR!
Coke Zero please read more than one post before commenting on this board. IF you had you would realise that I agree Lids is worth far more than Hampson in a trade you stupid, scum troll!!
Mister Carlton
Better than you.
Jordan Russell for Deledio.

Edited for accuracy.
Fair comment, I do think Cotchin is likely to become a better player than Deledio but I would hate to lose either. Still to early to tell - Deledio just turned 22 and Cotchin is 19.
Nah, I'd take him already over Lids: random injuries and all (I'd make him pull his head in over pre-season though and only train like the fitness guy tells him to).
Lids would look good on the end of it but Cotch is the tough go and win the ball type that we need far more than another finisher.
surely the blues cant fit many more big names in the salary cap lol. Judd , Fevola and Gibbs , Murphy and Kruezer as number one picks are gonna want more money soon surely you guys cant get any other big names lol

FWIW, Judd's contract has been heavily front-ended, as the club took advantage of substantial room in the salary cap. Fevola signed a 3 year deal and is stitched up until the end of 2011, Murphy the same, and Gibbs is signed until the end of 2010.
Not that I am saying we could afford another big name, but I don't think our salary cap "issues" are as bad as what some people think.
