I think the same thing happened last year. The club was looking to play down expectations because they knew they were going into trade week without many attractive options. The massaging of the message works both ways, but I think that point goes over our heads sometimes.

Terrific journalism by Jon Ralph. Apparently we also signed Griffen, only to have him turn around and say he wants to go home
!
He had a pretty good 2009, so I wouldn't be too dissapointed if this rumour is true.

Depends on the price. I certainly wouldn't be willing to give up a 1st round selection for him - and that includes the Bock compensation pick. I'd be willing to trade Cook or Petrenko for him though.

id rather trade cook than petrenko... i rate the kid.
cook not so much. if vic clubs want him, they can have him provided a reasonable deal can be done IMO. now that it seem that the jacobs deal is as good as done, a draft pick may need to be thrown in there, but certainly not a particularly high one
I see petrenko being quite a good rebounding defender... you only have to look at the 3 seconds it took the hawks to tag him when he was shifted back there to see just how damaging he was...
now we just have to get neil craig to actually play him there, and not use the usual line about the club seeing him has a back pocket but never playing him there...
Petrenko is also a highly rated individual at the club in the playing group and with staff.
Either way, as I said before, Tambling's body is stuffed. Would make sure our doctors give him an honest assessment before we traded a nickel.

apparently thursfield wants out of tigerland. Their backline is looking even weaker now. I reckon we could shop sellar around to them to increase his value...

Hasn't he had shoulder problems or something like that?
Much rather we tried for Hurn with our first round pick over Tambling.

What about Ryan Gamble? Anyone see us going after him?

He's still young isn't he? With Geelong's aging list, I can see them clinging on to him.

Pity the Geelong coaches don't think the same as the Geelong supporters...we wouldn't hate seeing such a trade

Wants out for more senior games and I doubt we will stand in his way...you'll definitely get him for very little.

25 actually.
He's leaving Geelong to get more game time and if he joined our he would struggle to get into our best 22 because we are after a crumbing forward not a mid sized forward.
When people are contemplating the Tambling query, remember he was playing predominately as a forward and a outside midfielder. In a team like Richmond, he was starved of decent ball. At the tail end of 09 he played some pretty good games, and he missed the 2nd half of this year when Richmond improved significantly.
I personally would like for us to go after someone like Tambling, he's 24yo and we have lost a wealth of experience, so someone who has been in the system for 6-7 years wouldn't be a negative thing. Wouldn't give up a first round pick for him

Won't get a game ahead of Sloane, Otten, Douglas, Mackay, Dangerfield, S.Thompson, Vince, Van Berlo and Porplyzia.
Maybe not, but should a game ahead of Jaensch, Martin, Schmidt and Doughty
