Analysis The Rebuilds of Geelong and Richmond and their Future Prospects

[Meteoric Rise]

How wonderful it is that Richmond are giving their blessing...

Yes well when you see our enviable best ever draft hand for an established club you will understand why.

'Leaving of their own accord' is quite different to 'shipping then off'...

You do realise Bolton and Rioli can only leave if the club allows it?

Lol Fadge is fuming. When was the last Collingwood player traded out for more than it cost to recruit them? Basically never happens. We are about to do that with 4 players in one off-season.

No wonder he is inconsolable. Hates this almost as much as he hated us winning 3 Grand Finals in 4 years while his shambles of a cub had won 2 in 66 years.

Hmmmm.

Finishing stone motherless last and accepting trade requests from every player on your list with any talent and therefore trade value ain't exactly the 'enviable position' you suggest it is....

3 of Richmond's top 5 B&F place getters have requested trades away from the club. A club that lost a record 21 games this season.

Coupled with the fact that they don't have a single player receiving a rising star vote or filling a position on the 22under22 it looks really, really dire.

Fortunately those 3 blokes in your 1st paragraph are going to net us a bucket load of elite yoing kids to address the issues in 2nd paragraph

Better than treading water....

Clubs not exactly lineing up to offer Harry Perryman 6 years @ $900k, and give 36yo's another year, but Desperatewood are.

We'll take our chances on a strong draft thanks.

A bit like me saying 'You do realise Margot Robbie could only have a sexual encounter with me if I was interested in doing so...'

If she was contracted to do so with you long term, then yeah I guess it is similar.

Ah yes, and here we go again.

Unproven youth with potential is far better than older, proven experienced players...

Nah, Tigers went with both Hopper and Taranto on similar coin, and their older players fall off a cliff once they hit the wrong side of 30.
