Agreed. If they land Shiel, they’ll be scary good.

Shiel will be at the Hawks is my guess.
Not really, wasn't GHS on decent coin? He will be going...
Plus, salary cap is increasing for next season I believe, plus Taylor and GAJ are likely to be gone by end of next season, so there should be plenty of salary cap available, especially if they back-end his contract offer.

The question that I have is how does a club that is paying Martin over 10% of its cap get another player who will also take 10%?
This is probably the real impact that Richmond will face in a few years. Talented players like Higgins wont be able to earn their market value by staying with Richmond. If they don't win this year, then that will put pressure on them, with players questioning why they have taken a pay cut if they didn't win a premiership. If they win, that too should put some pressure, where players who are now considered as 2-time premiership players generally can get increased salaries...

We were in that scenario back when we were playing in GF’s and winning flags.
They’ll stay if success is what they truly desire.

How many of our premiership stars did we pay $1million+ to stay in the first place though?
I thought our guys across the board took paycuts - seems that Richmond is going to have a couple/few guys on big big money & then it will be those coming through that will be making the sacrifices to stay

Dahl can step in and take linc and gregsons money. They both should be delisted.

Yeah that's true but I wasn't referring to the salary, rather the role Dahlhaus could play in our team. If Kelly is going, he takes his place in the midfield and can play that pressure forward role too. But Dahlhaus is predominantly a midfielder these days, so I think he could be a like-for-like swap for Kelly in the event he departs, which looks increasingly likely, thus the reason we are probably chasing Dahlhaus imo. We actually have enough small forwards now, we just need to keep them on the park..
To many small fwd/small mids on the list it's very lop sided especially if we draft even more.(Pickett) etc.
With the departure of Thurlow, GHS possibly Gardner and House, medium and tall stocks will be very thin.
We need a couple of decent sized flankers like Broard and Grimes.

I had posted the potential "tin foil hat" 3 way trade a while ago - I didnt have the specifics right but the concept plays..
What is NM pick... is it Top 10?
Go Catters
Superficially .. one would say .why would North trade for Gaff... and would Norths pick be enough for us to relent?
North have been willing to trade the R1 because of TarThomas ... and it would give us a pick around ..11
Its still not early enough to get the player we would like ... but who knows who would be available... and the 2 r1 picks is what I have been banging on about for a while... and if he has been offered 700+... makes it hard to keep him
will be 11 after Lynch comp
10-12

When was the last time a three-way swap actually happened with picks and players of that quality?

so we could have our Rd 1 plus Norths...
Now shit gets real interesting - not so much form losing TK potentially - but from having say 2 Top 15 picks in a super deep draft from 1 -20.
Go Catters
well ...id have to say Geelong is taking a lot of risk in the trade... Gaff known.. Kelly Known ... P12ish ? but who knows if we perhaps can use it to get earlier..

Dayne Beams, Mitch Clark, Travis Varcoe, Heritier Lumumba and Levi Greenwood I guess is closest.
There is plenty that would say there is a top7/8 group then another group out to 20 or so ... it would open up a number of players that we might have had to choose between. ...
How they handle it however may be different to our expectation. Losing Kelly will make them carefully consider if they take a kid or look at trades.

I don't know it that would satisfy Geelong though would it?. As it stands, Norths 1st rounder is pick 10, which can slide quite the way down if GCS/Carlton get priority picks that are at the start of the draft....and/or Lynch compo.
Cook has been pretty vocal of late about no trades for Kelly. He was also in the Addy saying Geelong cannot afford to slide out of finals contention until average crowd numbers hit 35k (currently 29k) which can't happen until ground capacity is increased.
Kelly seems pretty vital to that continuing even after just one season.
I hope "Mail Mans" mail is returned to sender.
