What's the go with this guy? Out of contract and can't get a game at GWS. I always like him, reckon he'd be a good cheap pickup. Averaging 16 disposals, 7 marks and 3 goals a game in the VFL.

Is he likely to re-sign? What's he worth at the trade table? I'd say an early 3rd rounder at best, probably 40-50.
 
Poor Mans Weideman

Decent at VFL level but horrendous at AFL level

Would deff can picked up again if delisted

I would give Derksen a game over him now

GWS will re-sign him unless a desperate Vic Club ie NM or Haw offer him a better deal.

Good size but not up to it at AFL level

That's probably a fair comparison. Bombers fans would be pretty happy with Weideman though. I reckon Riccardi has a better work rate than Weideman.

Why would he re-sign if he's not getting games? Someone from Vic will offer him a spot to come home.

Riccardi has had some good games @ AFL level. 9 disposals, 11 marks, 2 goals this year against Blues. 12,8,2 last year. 11,5 and 3 last year. 12, 9 and 4 in his 2nd ever game etc etc.

He would re sign if no offers from Vic Clubs like NM/Haw who are desperate

Weideman is a far better player at AFL level which tells you something LOL

Their stats are nearly identical and GWS haven't been able to develop a single KPF properly bar Cameron. I'd have them both ahead of Josh Schache and your club gave him a spot.

Handy depth at the very least but has upside.
 
Can he switch to defence? He did win the Fothergill as a swingman IIRC and KPDs are in short supply across the comp

Won't argue your views about Schache at all

Who knows maybe the Dees offer him a deal haha

Had 40 disposals and 19 marks against Southport a couple of seasons ago playing in defence in the VFL. Then switched forward and had 24 disposals, 12 marks and kicked 8.4 a few weeks later.

I'm telling ya this guy will be 2-meter Peter mk2. Just needs a change of environment.
