Yeah but Richmond are giving themselves so many chances. That's 8 chances. Even if they miss with say three. Thats still 5 top talents into the club.

i like what we've done if we get peatling over the line. anb brings some on field leadership, finals and premiership experience and standards that we're lacking. cumming and peatling help just make the side better and improve depth. add in tyler welsh and whichever mid we take with pick 4.

Yeah I don't think there's any doubting that.

That group will cop some absolute floggings though. And you're still hoping Yze could coach though.

Not sold on Yze at all tbh.

Tigers win this trade period imo. Were always going to be poor in '25 regardless so traded out some guys and now have 1, 6, 10, 11, 18, 20, 23 & 24 in a strong draft.

Set up well for their next era.

I think they could possibly look to trade a few out on draft night into F1 +F2s, to help spread out the talent across a few years and get some extra picks. Reckon teams will want to trade back into the first round come draft night if there are highly valued players left on the board.

That's kind of my point. Having a whole lot of draft picks look great. Need a tangible return from them though. And that takes the whole club, not just the players.

I hope Richmond draft 8 Richard Tamblings

 

[Magma]

i get that they're playing by different rules effectively but i still cant get over pick 6 for rioli.

Bolton trade seems fair, helps fill a big defenciency in the team is the main thing.

We were robbed blind. He doesnt fill a need, hes 26 in december and we gave up 2 firsts in a good draft before Tassie comes in. All this so Peter Bell can save his buddy JL. We'll still miss finals because the coach is shite and we havent addressed the needs of quality ball users yet again.

Goodness.

He does fill a need. We have nobody forward of center under 6 foot that can kick goals on a regular basis. With the amount we get the ball inside 50 and it hits the deck he can be a real weapon. When he is on he is also a real ball magnet.

I agree that it is more than he is worth but the market is completely ****ed at the moment.

We could have got Owies cheaper. You don't spend 2 first rounds on a 30 goal forward who spends some time in the mid and doesnt find enough of the ball when he does. He relies on his pace, hes not a ball magnet. Give it 3 years and a hamstring injury and he'll be useless.

We need outside mids who can kick, our forward 50 entries are some of the worst in the comp.

Agree with this, thought it was massive overs for Bolton from Freo. Looks like they felt bad for us so wanted to join us in the idiots corner so we werent all alone.

Thanks Freo.

**** no. Freo getting Owies wouldn’t have unlocked Pick 3 for us. You guys are our heroes for not going there.

Haha this is cute.

You've just traded Barrass...

I was waiting until it got done before replying.

Here comes the stage managed rush…

This feels late even for that.

Time will tell. 14 minutes left.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Well I am shocked. What we offered at the start is pretty much what was accepted at the death.

 

[chef]

Sad to see Macrae and Daniel go, great servants.

Glad I don't have to pretend to like Smith anymore.

Kennedy sounds a decent role player.

We were always going to. This is not a surprise haha.
