Time for some house cleaning.

1) Do not drag discussions or individual posts over here from other threads or boards.

Feel free to respond to those posts wherever they were posted, if you so choose.

2) Enough with the personal attacks. It’s a long season and this one may go the distance, so if you want to remain a part of the discussion, do it respectfully.

We will use thread bans and infractions if necessary.

You want a WA kid who will be available at pick 9 so it makes sense to get Baker basically for free

Yeah, just like Ralph reported that we wanted a WA kid in last year's draft instead of Reid.

Stop believing his fan-fiction.

It is pretty clear he is WANTING to go to West Coast and is waiting on a coaching decision to be made.

If he likes the coaching announcement and the coach wants him, he is headed there.

If you take a Victorian kid at pick 3 it's a flight risk in 2 years.

From the author of 'Rioli for pick 6' and 'Bolton + Baker for 9, 10 + 17'

What you want and what you can get are different things. Richmond will still do very well out of this trade period though.

What?

Who cares?

We will get pick 6 for Rioli I think

I'll shoot the messenger when the messenger keeps posting Jon Ralph quotes that are nothing more than his own thoughts dribbled onto a keyboard

Gold Coast can use that pick themselves before the Lombard pick comes in. There is no incentive for them to trade that pick.

It's a done deal. There is no trade without that pick.

Pick 3 for Baker? That’s some funny shit.

 

[Barrybran]

Like no trade for Bolton without 9 + 10 and no trade for Baker without a first rounder, right? You realise other teams have their own priorities that may or may not align with your team's priorities? I imagine the Suns would be more than willing to part with all of 13, 20 + 26 for Rioli in a very favourable trade for Richmond. They don't need to trade pick 6.

Hook, line and sinker for Richmond fans.

Thats funny. Eagles used pick 3 on Chris Judd back in 2001. Still got 6 years out of him

And Richmond drafting Perth boys is proving it goes both ways.

Bolton and Rioli are contracted. Rioli and Bolton elite players capable of improving a team quite a lot.
There is absolutely no way we trade Rioli for less than pick 6. It will probably be pick 6 and pick 20.
There is zero chance of trading Bolton for only 1 first round pick. It will be two first round picks at the very minimum otherwise we keep him.

Rioli is worth pick 6 in the same way Weller was worth pick 2.

Gold Coast want them, and that's what they have.

Correct on the last bit. Will be 2x firsts. Which 2x we'll see. Probably depends on where Port finish.

According to Jon Ralph, Don Pyke went ballistic when he heard Kate Perry was headlining the AFL Grand Final entertainment instead of Birds of Tokyo cos he wanted a WA kid
