Me reading the Richmond board after trade week….

Check the dynasty thread while your on our board, get a glimpse of what it feels like

 

[nut]

Ninth best centre clearance player in the comp and the genius Yze plays him as 178cm centre-half-forward.

Yze also said he didn’t train with the midfield group!!!! WTF.
Chris Newman should be demanding him in the midfield group.

 

[nut]

He's also a very good player, but that doesn't mean Fremantle has to wear the price of decisions that didn't involve them until the time came to pay a bill to facilitate what others wanted.

I think Fremantle is quite a way down the road with Chad Warner and Bolton would need to fit around that, but it would be stupid for Fremantle to not try and get a win for everyone here.

What about all our firsts and our second for Bolton and your future first?

We already have your second

 

[DragoDelph]

We already have your second

It was a down payment

 

[Taylor]

We already have your second

We have St Kildas

No Treacy or Darcy for the Dockers this week. Dockers prioritizing early picks for Shai over scraping into finals this year.

Well we can’t rely on port for anything.

Only Ken can rely on Port

Or you can pay him to spend most of the season in WA with his mind elsewhere. That works too.

Pretty sure clubs aren't required to pay players who don't meet their obligations (like turning up to 'work'/training).

The clubs aren't able to declare a medical condition is a breach of contract. This is why mental health reasons saw Dayne Beams paid to not show up

Maybe Shai could retire and then un-retire like Dimma and Dusty

You flatter us with your supposition that we know what we are doing and have any control of our destiny whatsoever.

So he'll have a 'medical condition', that is so serious it means he's unable to play or contribute in any way for Richmond, but so easily resolved that he would be able to play for Freo with it?

I'd love to see that one argued in court.

Also, just imagine the precedent that would set.

It's not a negotiating tactic, it's just what player managers have at their disposal to get what they want because clubs can't do a thing about "mental health issues" when it's dropped on the table as seen many times previously

"It's not a negotiating tactic."

"it's just what player managers have at their disposal"

How did you get this contradiction to work in your head?

Because Fremantle aren't going to be using that in negotiation. It's a complication from the Richmond end of the table. It only benefits Freo at all because it makes it more appealing to move him on and brings a cost to retaining him.

He signed the contract with Richmond, he is the one who needs to get the deal done.

Maybe it means he takes a whopping pay cut and Richmond pay some salary so Freo pay more in picks and don't have to pay a player for a couple of years.

So the club wont use it as a negotiating tactic, they'll just get the player's manager to use it as a negotiating tactic.

Yeah, that's totally different.

Depends if they're in cahoots, which I'd like to think they aren't. I'd also like to think no club would be so obtuse to use mental health as leverage, but there's no denying that Richmond will have to consider it if Bolton brings it up. It may make them amenable to a trade, doesn't necessarily mean they have to take unders though.

Honestly, both teams have good reputations for trading fairly, doubt anyone gets ****ed over here, whatever happens.

I don't understand how Richmond can be so bad with so many players that have a trade value of 2 first round picks.

Educate yourself

 

[sydney_gws]

Educate yourself

Your list has been stuffed by injuries this year, a bit like GWS in 2019 grand final.

 

[tiger_tough]

Freo are mad I'd they don't go all in for this guy.

 

[freo_leo29]

Welp, we have 2x top 10s


If the Tigers are serious about a rebuild then this trade goes through

Only thing stopping it would be some off field indiscretion that comes out
