He would be stupid not to take 4 years. Afraid he’s gone. A bit of a shame considering I thought he showed something throughout the season.

I'm down with that. He wants to come back home so it's an opportunity that's come knocking.My thoughts exactly - even if he could miss the first couple of games of next season, if Port have another straight sets finals exit.
It paid off, but boy was it risky. Imagine if someone got injured in the first quarter and we had to sub him in early.The Old Revenge Sub Manoeuvre into a Dropping. A classic

Bergman looks a ripper to me.There’s actually not a lot of untapped talent on Port’s list.
If Richards was to go then you’re really looking at Bergman or maybe an Ollie Lord who could challenge Cox for a forward/ruck role.
I’d be more interested in involving a third club to get a Peatling, Berry or Davies type.
I love Joey but as others have said if we can use a list strength in small forwards to improve our list I’d be ok with it. We could potentially replace with a mature age small forward type as well.

Ah yes, I believe you are referring to the unfortunate series of events that occurred in 1987 at the La Palma Polo Club in Ecuador? The unexpected early substitution of the Argentinian firebrand El Diablo? Turned into a goddamned bloodbath.It paid off, but boy was it risky. Imagine if someone got injured in the first quarter and we had to sub him in early.
If the stories about us being interested in Keane and Berry from Crows are accurate, then we might use whatever picks we get from Power to help get that doneVery similar to ginnivan situation. I really like Richards but can't imagine we would offer 4 years to someone who has played 8 games. Given his age, he should take the deal and run. Just hope we can get better compensation this time
What’s his value to Collingwood?
Who would he push out / take over from?
Our 30+ year old players:
Pendlebury - no.
Howe - no.
Sidebottom - maybe (wing role).
Cox - no.
Elliott - possibly (we also have Harrison when he comes back from ACL)
Mihocek - no.
Mitchell - no.
WHE - maybe (forward role).
Crisp - no.

Reckon Steele might turn into a bit of a spare parts man. Sometime tagger, sometime mid, etc. Dunno if he is quick enough for the forward line these days.Am i out of line in thinking Steele would be a good option down forward? We really need to sure up our mids/wings in terms of age going forward. Goal nous , good disposal , crafty.
Many years ago, a colleague approached our boss, seeking a pay rise, explaining that he had been offered X by a rival firm. The boss replied, "That is above market for your skill set. It's a good offer. You should take it."LOL. What an overs offer.
Good luck to Port, thanks for your service Joe.
12 months ago most of this board wanted Richards delisted.does anyone see a scintilla of irony
- that we paid a 1st + 2nd rounder to bring in a small forward who was out of contract (OOC) in 12 mths time
AND 12 mths later,
- we're losing an up & coming small forward who is moving for greater opportunity and valued by another club to be offered 4 yrs but given his OOC status we will likely receive peanuts
now, if you were to do the net trade capital maths:
- _OUT 1st + 2nd rounder / IN small forward Schultz
- _IN likely peanuts (nothing) / OUT small forward Richards
- Schultz also likely occupying 3-4 times the cap space that Richards will have been on as minimum chips player. Even after an upgraded offer put to him this year, Richards likely stil the cheaper option.
As Alanis Morissette once said:
"An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day"
.. lack of planning /foresight, incompetence, discontinuity in list management or perhaps a tad ironic!
What do you think the reaction around here would be if we offered Richards a 4 year deal?does anyone see a scintilla of irony

12 months ago where do you think the list mgmt crew at CFC rated Richards ..that's a bit rhetorical but have a stab!12 months ago most of this board wanted Richards delisted.
If it's true, we sure as hell shouldn't match it. Richards should take the deal and we should try to get enough to pay for a target for us like Keane.What do you think the reaction around here would be if we offered Richards a 4 year deal?
Why are you always pushing the panic button? Can you at least let the season finish before negatively critiquing a trade week that hasn't even happened yet, geez Louise.does anyone see a scintilla of irony

His do we get that done. Or has Houston designated another club?Would rather Houston.
