Player Watch Joe Richards

[Jen2310]

Well I guess they're just looking after themselves as much as the players are told to look after themselves..

its a business after all.

At least he has a fall back career.

He was working as a teacher aide. He would have been paide $65,000 - $70,000 a year - most only do a few years before moving into something else - a fall back - more than a career.

Oh okay. I assumed he had quals. In that case sign the biggest contract you can Joey.

 

[sideswipe]

Yeah these managers are all about themselves. They push their agendas.
Just like Ollies manager at the time
Gosh they annoy me

Seems like the manager is doing a very good job for his client.

Contract is probably a very small part of it. More to do with opportunity.

I can’t see how Port offers more opportunity than Collingwood

The managers control everything. Invent narratives. Luke Beveridge said it well recently

We're stacked with small forwards. They've got a shortage.

 

[Kes1984]

Wonder if he's one of the 5 signings - 3 still to be announced.

Stene, Pendles
Steele will be one
EDIT: Also Hyphen now
Leaves one more??

What do you think they'd be willing to pay for Kysaiah Pickett? Port have limited draft capital. Is there a chance Richards stays with the Pies and Melbourne lose Pickett?

perhaps Richards is staying and the rumors around Kosi Pickett wanting to go back to SA have started, Port moved their attention to him

Has Howe been announced?

Didn’t re-sign (Hyphen) recently so wouldn’t be him in the 5? Maybe is included but would be better if he’s not in this 5

The TAs who enjoy the industry do often end up training as teachers - not sure if that's Joe, but hoping he's doing something to prepare for his post footy life. AFL is great in that it is part time enough for them to get qualifications easily whilst getting really well paid.

If he goes to Adelaide, you could get him a job teaching English as a second language. Anyone could do that job, surely

You just press play on a Simpsons episode. But it takes a bit of training to learn how to turn closed captions on so that they get some reading practice too.

 

[Kes1984]

Has Howe been announced?

Now he has

 

[rand corp]

Richards has plenty of opportunity ahead at Collingwood, Elliot, Steele, Hyphen, all in probably their last year, (Elliot maybe a couple). And Pendles has now entered into the last ten years of his career.

 

[stormskye]

all these players that people want us to bring in, but concerned if Richard’s leaves. We aren’t immune from player movement. I’d like him to stay, but that’s the environment we operate in. You know, that old cake and eat it thing

Wash your mouth out with razor blades.

It’s disappointing to lose him but I’d say he’s already gone. Let’s get a decent deal and use it to improve our list.

I don’t care about guys who don’t want to wear the black and white stripes. Let him go I reckon.

If he’d already decided he’s going we’d probably already know by now (eg: John Noble)

His manager said he’ll meet up with him later this week to discuss. (Source: Getable)

I reckon he is torn. And didn't want to think about it until he had to. Now he has to, so we'll wait and see.

Their Job is to look after their client’s interests.

If we didn’t have them, the competition would have list bosses negotiating contract terms with kids - which would be very messy.

 

[mocamagic]

What could we realistically get for him?

 

[Copeland]

Wash your mouth out with razor blades.

Its very possible if we win the flag, add Mitchell and Checkers as possibilities too. Remember James Clement was was 31 when he pulled the pin.

 

[BEEG]

He will leave.
