Its interesting that both Hawthorn and Richmond are getting smashed by other supporters and the media yet very little mention of the club in common here.

GCS have clearly decided to play hardball yet apparently we are the bad guys.

Really does feel like we should let JOM go to the draft and get him with pick 10, and you let Prestia go to the draft and either use your pick 6 or take a punt and hope you can use your 2nd rounder. If he sets a high price it is entirely possible it goes through.
 
It's not just RFC that do it, all clubs do this.
I will add another for you
4. Pressure on club to land "big fish" (all 175cm of it), club offers our first ND selection to club and good salary/contract period to player.

I don't think for a minute you and many many others would be livid if we were linked during the year (and even trade period) to Prestia but couldn't get it done. Club looks to have sold the farm to keep fans happy.
why would clubs do this?, they have no idea where they will be in the draft order at the end of the year. Nor if a player will have a career threatening injury. You value picks + players based on what they are worth on trade day, pure and simple.

But I agree, the fans will be blamed if Prestia goes the Yarran way.

The only way I understand this is if GCS is suddenly surprisingly generous to us in some other deal later this week.

I am, entirely happy to let Prestia fall through!!!!

How can fans be blamed for Yarran and Prestia, its total tripe!!!

Agree yet many people on this board want to trade away next years first.

Ludicrous........

The deals has been done, it will be announced just before the close of trades, so the RFC can save face,

It's the only deal that isn't getting airtime, we have given 6 otherwise Cochrane would be bleating like he us for O'meara , he has been silent on our trade yet every time he opens his mouth it's about omeara

Deal has come out, it will send RFC bankrupt!!!

When talking about JOM this morning he said that they were getting pick 6 today. So I assume the deal had been finalised yesterday.

Well I was super excited when Prestia nominated us. I really like him and in fact I wanted him last year as well. But I'm finding it really bloody hard to get excited about it now. This is a shitful trade. What the hell are we thinking chucking in a future second? 6 for Dion and 24 is more than fair. In fact I want to know what makes us think our second pick next year won't be better than 24? I think it will be to be honest. So it's Prestia for 6 + steak knives provided by us. Surely the club realises this? Like we must know what a shocking trade it is right? I just don't get it.

Anyway. It's done now and we can't do anything except get excited about the player we take at 24. Welcome Dion.

It's a swap of 2nd rounders, we get their 2nd round this year, they get ours next year

So it's really Prestia (former pick 9) for pick 6


Funny thing is I reckon for Pick 6 and next years 2nd round pick we could have nailed O'Meara

I said yesterday the board met and committed 6 so the deal was done GC are laughing at us


In their desperation to be seen to be doing somthing they mortgaged the future again for a guy who has only been on the park 50 % of the time
 
May as well close this thread. Comforting thing for me is that based on the history of pick 6 (both last 10 years and further back) and our recent history, we could well have stuffed it up. Let someone else pick them, develop them and we'll keep giving up early picks to get them in later...
 
F*** this club, we're a joke and seemingly always will be. :thumbsdown:
Just listened to his presser, will be eased into the preseason due to injuries.......lol

I suppose we may see him by the time we start our season in round 6 or 7

where does this 50% of the time BS come from, 95 out of 132 possible games is not 50% its 72%?

Sounds like Yarran all over again. :rolleyes:

Should be more like F*** this board, never known such negativity, if you don't like supporting Richmond you can always F*** off and support another team.

How about we wait and see how Prestia goes before we start the incessant whining:rolleyes:

Or conversely, if you want to post in an echo chamber and chugg goo over the club going nowhere, you can f*** off to one of those more insular Richmond forums where not a bad word can be said. :rainbow:

If Prestia gets on the park, then congratulations, we sold the future for a B-grader, it's going to be fun finishing 9th all over again. :drunk:

Supporters like you are the reason Dan Richardson was content with EF losses.

You seem mad

I was #eco, now I'm livid again. :(
 
Much better deal than Collingwood last year - giving up 2 firsts for Treloar. Prestia changes our midfield setup and how oppositions . Not as good as Hawks get of Mitchell. Not as good as most of us hoped - but still - pretty darn great overall.
