with and AA and 2 flags then Shai into 2 first round picks. Not bad from the scum

Legal pursuit of defamation over a re-tweet is pretty ridiculous IMO.

A lot more to it than just the tweet

 

[bruce lindner]

You've got to hand it to the AFL. The fact that they can stretch this trade period out to ten days with such minimal action is begrudgingly admirable. My productivity has been deplorable.

 

[darren forssman]

Oh Foreskin, just when I thought ya were out!

Trade deadline dragged me back in.

Back to “hoochie mama” tomorrow.

What happens to Smith in 2025?

He nominated Geelong, if the trade fails + he decides not to risk ND, what then?

He has another season off from football

 

[Jemaine]

Not really. Bolton is a very, very good footballer and in contract. He's also the exact type of player Freo need.

I think there are two verys in that sentence that don't belong.

He's good, but very inconsistent. Certainly not worth that ransom imo.

 

[Footy Smarts]

Richmond fans getting very excited about draft picks.

Then you look through their remaining list and literally the only clearly AFL quality player younger than Taranto (27 by round 1) is Noah Balta

. My god do they need to find some quality.

There was only one data point on us beating Brisbane, and the prelim optimism was... optimistic, but far from certain.

In terms of the Smith deal - the number of good out-of-contract players who have had to go through the PSD or ND, you could count on one hand over the last twenty years. Nick Stevens, Luke Ball, Jack Martin and Ben Jacobs are pretty much it, plus Rawlings and Tippett (which were stitch-ups by the clubs involved).

So your point is that it has happened.

Plus Smith doesn't have to go to draft. He could decide to sign a one year deal with the dogs if a trade doesn't happen and try again in one years time.

Extremely selfish player as well. Dont think he’s worth the haul either but in contract and they want him so whatever

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Does anyone feel for Soldo?

 

[witsend]

Surely Richmond bundle the higher R1s to get a low FR1 or 2. Crazy bringing that much young talent in in one draft.

AFL player on hundreds of thousands a year to play footy with a model girlfriend? No, I don’t feel for Saldo tbh

He'd fit in well in a midfield which already has three hard working grunts

 

[strauchnyy]

I think we should trade our F1 for one of the Richmond picks on draft night

 

[Turbocat]

The trade period should be shorter…should be 5 days … should be three days …. and the afl says… why?

For me …I think if it bugs people then switch off…. although this year really has been like watching Boycott bat...

my only really grown is I love to see the trade period include the draft ….

 

[Rubberducky]

I personally hate this line of thinking. Being paid well and/or a model girlfriend doesn’t mean he should expect/accept the bashing/bullying/harrasment that happens online. The world was a better place when people couldn’t say/do these things without consequences.

 

[Play it Sam]

If he plays footy with a model girlfriend maybe we can draft her? (Dad joke)

Wishing this confounded draft would end, time can't go fast enough.

 

[D BRIDGE]

What if we are eyeing someone or some move next year and need it?

P.S. the Doggies fans still want it on top of our #17 for Smith.

I didn’t say any of that. I said I don’t feel sorry for him

 

[Turbocat]

The long term contracts are often ridiculed, but this is a clear benefit to the clubs. There's no way Richmond would be getting 10 and 11 for Bolton, or 6 and 23 for Rioli if they were out of contract.

Which is why the Houston trade was so bad for Port considering he has achieved more than either of those and had 3 years to run on his contract.

How much would we offer melb if Oliver was OOC … but then again .. if he was OOC …Melb get a FA comp pick..we get him for nothing … If given the option and a band 1 comp pick for Melb …P6 or P7 ... id say Oliver would be a t geelong next year for no cost.

Apparently it's a 'super' draft though

If we could secure an elite mid ready to step into senior football that is available I'd be all for it

Yes, my point is that it has happened, but it's four times in roughly 20 years, so roughly I'd suggest 1 in 25 or so. It's a pretty long, long, long shot.

Smith won't re-sign with the Dogs only to go through this shit again, no way known.

 

[cats_09]

There's been some talk about the value of draft picks, their value in trades for players etc - not sure how many saw this post from CatToTheFuture future which was posted in the Lawson Humphries thread and there's a bit of discussion about this topic

They should be suspended from the draft for three years! - ABC listen

There's three days to go in the trade period and although it's been quiet so far, there's a feeling that a lot is going to happen very soon. Which club does Roosy suggest should be suspended from the draft if the trade doesn't go through? How important are the combines and what is the real...
