With Carlton and Hawks swapping picks
Could freo offer tigers 10 11 and 18 for Bolton and Baker.
We then trade Houston to Roos for pick to.
We swap pick 2 for 10 and 11 or 10 and 18 with the tigers

We could probably do that with north's future first. Tigers already stated that if they end up with the kind of draft hand that they will have they would prefer to take extra pucks into next year as they don't want 10 awesome kids who all come out of contract in the same year. I think that thinking had some bearing on signing balta for 7 years

I think you'll find that we think he is a decent player. I've seen a him a bit and think he's quite a competent player. Our problem goes like this. We have a bunch of small forwards on our books. Now my expectations is that we will probably be asked for a 3rd Round pick to get him.

Is Richards a 3rd round pick better than the small forwards that we have, that we have pretty much given nothing to get.

And Hinkley will probably use him as a pressure forward not as a goalkicker.

Didn't we use thus years first rounder last year to trade with the dockers for 3 2nds which is why freo have our pick and we drafted 3 small forwards who are all "still developing"

Very kind of Carlton actively working to obtain pick 3 and give to us for Houston

Can GC forget using pick 6 for the Rioli deal since Richmond are making it hard for themselves and just use pick 6 as the central piece in the 3 way trade between the pies, suns and port?

GC following hawks example with their attempted dealing WC.

In a heartbeat

Hey Port fans. Scrolling through and seeing lots of you saying Richards is worth a fourth rounder or whatever. Just so you know, Joe is going to be a great get for you. His improvement from last year to this year was incredible. Really smart footballer, sharp around goals, can find the ball and uses it well. You'll be pleasantly surprised when you see him play. If he keeps improving like he did this year he will be a star.

Here at port , we do not play pokies with players . He is going to or will be not our style . If you want Dan then cough up 2 first rounders and 2nd round pick . Player like Richard can only be sweetner to the deal but not part of deal . Otherwise keeps on dreaming ....

it’s still not a very good deal. I think we would feel like we lost this trade

How about Pick 13, Bobby Hill and Richard’s for Houston?

I am going to throw this here first to gauge the amount of criticism I may get if I post this on X but:




Who loses in this deal?

In my view:
Richmond get fair compensation, 2 first rounders for Rioli is slightly overs but close enough

Pies can view it as getting 39 for Richards which is overs but they pay Noble, 36 and F1 for Houston which is close

Suns they can see it as F1 for Luko (slightly overs imo), Rioli for 6, Noble + 36 for 13 (which values Noble at pick 27 which maybe overs as well but offsets with Luko)

Port, I think we could actually even use pick 6 on a Tauru or use it to split say for Carlton's 12 and 14, or Essendon giving us 9 and a future first.

The biggest question is, are Richmond willing to give up their dream of pick 6 and make it 13 + F1
