Day 1: What the Tigers actually said

[Stamps]

Found this pretty interesting. On the Drafts & Trading board it had what the clubs said about Day 1 of trade week and here is Richmond's:

Richmond
Unavailable for comment on day one.

Richmond keeping it quiet? We're usually first in line to comment on trade week, no matter what day. Surely something must be up. Wonder how long this will last.

Greg Miller's gone.

 

[UpTheGuts]

what's the point?

Interesting that HS saying that Seaby attracted no interest at all on Day 1

 

[PHX]

Greg Miller's gone.

Lol yeah dont reckon we'll have 4 interviews a day on SEN from the draft camp like we did last year starring Greg.

Clearly we know how to play trade week. Remember the year we forgot to lodge some papers and put them in late

The RFC people are probably playing golf or just slept in.

Oh yeah I remember that. Who was it that we were to get if we got it lodged in time?

On the club website, there is an article saying we probably wont do much this week.

Leaves the door open,but the tone seems to imply we wont be initiating anything.

I'm tipping a Carlton troll with a join date of sometime after Sept.'07 and a reference to their current captain in their username, will post a comment in this topic about "being in the box seat" for someone...

It was for us to trade Ty Zantuck for Essendon's 2nd round pick.

Was it us who was late? I seem to remember in the dim, dark recesses of my brain (very scary place) that it was Essendon who were late.....

Greg Miller's gone.

Dido. I remember when we were going after Dean Solomon (the same year we got Nathan Brown) when he was still at Essendon, Miller publicy stated to the whole world that we were after him & that we would get him & it was a done deal.

Kevin Sheedy refused to even talk to Richmond, and that was that. So it was a great game plan..NOT

 

[W. Smithers]

lol.

Remember last year we got a whole HUN back page dedicated to us for picking up McMahon.

Miller was a nuff.

It actually was a great game plan in the end. Essendon paid over the odds to keep him and we missed out on him. Great result both ways! Whether it was intended that way is another matter.

Best to keep a low profile

Maybe sheeds had the interests of Tigerland at heart

Maybe Fremantle might trade him back to Broken Hill
