Player Watch Joe Richards

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Hope so too. Would be like getting a new player, considering he's only played 8 games.

You'd think he's played 108 with so much interest in him

Same goes for Peatling for that matter

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Same goes for Peatling for that matter

He's played 45 (19 this year) and quite a few more consistently better games than Richards. So not really.

Joe only really played 2-3 good games before he got injured.

He's still deciding

PIE STILL TOSSING UP OPTIONS​

COLLINGWOOD and Port Adelaide are still waiting on a decision from Joe Richards as the small forward weighs up offers from both clubs.


Richards has met with the Power as he ponders a three-year deal to move to the South Australian club, while he is also considering a similar offer to remain at the Pies for 2025 and beyond.


Alongside Giants midfielder James Peatling, who is assessing significant interest from as many as six clubs, Richards is now one of the last players still to decide on their future ahead of the Trade Period starting on Monday.

The 24-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough year at Collingwood this season, playing his first nine games of senior football before a series of injuries hampered his progress in the back half of the campaign.


Port Adelaide has emerged as the main rival for his signature and could redouble its efforts to lure Richards having missed out on free agency targets Isaac Cumming and Harry Perryman to Adelaide and Collingwood respectively in recent days.

It describes our offer as "similar". I'd read that as 2 and a trigger for the third.

He’s gone. Waiting for the B & F first.

This is what I think.

Fair enough he’s played more games than I thought. This year he spent a lot of games as sub so thought he was on the fringes somewhat

 

[rand corp]

9 games doth not a super trade make me thinketh

 

[VinnieB]

Its true. We have upped it to 3 years in the last week.

Here:

He should ask Adams for advice.

 

[Kirby]

He’s gone. Waiting for the B & F first.

I don’t think he’s much of a chance

 

[Mollythedolly]

Generous but a gambit bid I reckon to maximise his trade value.

Can't make the offer without an expectation that he might accept. Likely a significant $$$ differential between offers though rather than just the 3 years v 3 years and a trigger considerations.

 

[mocamagic]

I'm not overly fussed if he goes

Given the currency we’d get for him, I’d prefer he stays. Unlikely to get a player with the pick we’d get. I think he can play multiple positions. Footy smarts, clean ball use.

Yep. When a player requests a trade, you lose more often than not. It's that simple and why they always try hard to convince them to stay.

I think there’s more chance we’ll have to give extra than them giving something back in this deal.

The something back is a flag.
