Oppo Camp Joe Richards (Traded to Port Adel. 2024)

[sr36]

AFL big man ‘immediately regretted’ career decision

‘You’re going to scoff at this, but I can tell you this is absolutely true. It is quite remarkable.’

He moved to be first ruck, but they they also brought in another who jumped ahead of him, so his reason for moving disappeared.

It doesn't get done much anymore but a straight swap for Richards and lord is more than enough

Probably a decent plan B if the Houston trade doesn’t transpire .

 

[domin8tors]

what are the rules with trading a mid-season draft pick. I thought they become free agents ?

Richards was a mature-age National Draft selection

 

[CheckerTrade666]

This thread is gonna be busy for the next 12 months, analysing every game and every kick that Joey does at the Power.

That’s not true anyway, Peatling of GWS was an MSD pick and he has to be traded for by Adelaide.

I can't help feeling the same way. It's hard to use the " feeling unloved or unwanted" argument. Maybe he was worried about his future kids starving like Tay Adams. But then I love all of the players who turn their backs on their clubs and run into our loving embrace! Isn't trade period an emotionally messy and complex time?

C'mon, stop beating around the bush. Tell us how you really feel.

 

[The Majestic]

I am a little disappointed that he's decided to ask for a trade, but I wish him well, just not against Collingwood.

 

[OniAu]

Bought low , hopefully part of the reason to get a good player in. Not doom and gloom

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Wish Joey all the best & will watch his progress at Port. Not going to lose any sleep over an 8 game player though.

If it helps facilitate a Houston trade, I'm more than thankful for his services

 

[Kes1984]

Only slightly surprised to see Joe choose Port - always seemed likely I thought, but Fly made it seem otherwise - must have just been wishful thinking on his part.

He's a potential gun, but I'm ok losing him if we get Dan Houston

Probably wants to play 20+ games

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Good player but if we land Houston and he’s part of the package then Joe Richards originally drafted at 48, is a trading win for us, along with Johnny Fkoff Noble who was a mid season bargain.

 

[Granit1962]

Can only be that Collingwood see this as part of the Houston trade. I think he was outstanding at times and surprised we didn’t try to lock him away earlier. Sorry to see him go, but if he is a valuable piece in the Houston trade that does offsets the disappointment.

 

[swoop42]

As a supporter group we saw his potential, Port obviously did to but he's still only 9 games in and nearly 25 years old.

Hard to really know what we might be losing or Port gaining as his future prospects are hardly locked in.

Outside of Rioli Port have little in the way of small forwards so he should find it a little easier to remain in the 23.

If he's one piece of the puzzle that helps us land Houston then he's served us well.

 

[peter9789]

I have no issue with Joe going to Port. Showed a bit in a few games but certainly not a lock for a starting 22 role in 2025 at the Pies. In this context, using Richards to trade in Houston makes perfect sense.

Good luck at Port Joe.

 

[Eric Shin]

I love you Joey but if you help us get Houston I’ll love you even more

Straight swap for Houston or gtfo.

It really can't be understated how much this is true - His first season, as a mature age 23 year old recruit, he looked a million miles off it even at VFL level.

He literally only showed that he was even possibly viable as an AFL player for PARTS of this season, and he's gone around fielding offers from other teams.

If he's getting anywhere north of $350k per season over three years, he's pulled off a MILLION DOLLAR GUARANTEE for barely one season of decent footy at a decent level.

Which it's pretty hard to begrudge him for doing. Would be pretty funny if he flopped hard, because you really couldn't claim that you thought you had a rock solid recruit in the bag.

Flogs like Kane Cornes want to complain about what he imagines Harry Perryman to be getting paid, but Perryman has already played 129 games of footy, including 12 finals with a winning record across them.

Joe Richards is the same age, and has played 9 games of little to no consequence, and is getting a substantial guarantee still.

 

[Jen2310]

This was very nice of him. And honest. I don't blame him for being selfish and looking for more senior opportunities.
