I think we are going to have to. I'm still struggling to understand how we reach our cap for 2025..... going to need to be creative. can definitely see us footing part of multiple players contracts to 1) get that better draft pick and 2) get us to the cap requirements.....ONly way i see Richmond getting pick #12 from Gold Coast is offer them a deal they cant refuse
Rioli + F2 + $500k x 2 years for #6 + #12
This gives them points for next year plus cap relief
We could then use #21 (1st pick on 2nd day ) get into 1st round in 2025 and might even do the same with #22 if we get that for Graham
Just basically means we get #12 plus move our F2 to F1
think its a great idea, we need to use the cap somewhere and overpaying people for what they produce is never a good idea. free up the money in a couple of years when we have a better picture of where our youth is at then use it to keep the ones worth keeping.I think we are going to have to.

Has always maintained any of our premiership guys want to leave to better their post football life they go with my blessing.I have no problem with player movement. Swings and roundabouts. Time for us to hit the draft as hard as we can given where we are in our development cycle
3 imoWhats better in regards too Bolton & Baker?
9/10 & 13
Or
3/13 & 23
More I read on Lalor, the more I want....3 imo
Sets us up with the FOS /Jagga or Lalor combo perfectly
If he didn’t blow his Hammy out I would be pushing to use pick 1 on himMore I read on Lalor, the more I want....
Poor form thanking a player for being loyal? WTF?Pretty poor form from the president in my opinion with his comments. I can cop it with Rioli and Bolton a touch, but at the end of the day it achieves nothing.
When it comes to Baker he has seen out his contract, said he wants us to be compensated and is heading home. If we wanted to lock him in for his career we could of signed him for longer but we didn't.
A real back hander would be to actual single out those players leaving. He just thanked Broad. Not sure what these people wanted to hear? Something like "Id just like to thank some players who are leaving the club Baker, Rioli, Bolton & Graham"? **** off.Some Eagles posters on the trade board legitimately think O'Rourke giving Baker a backhander last night has lowered his trade value
Why didn't he do it in the weeks and months after Broad said it on radio?Poor form thanking a player for being loyal? WTF?
Didn't name Bolton, Rioli or Baker at all. Why shouldn't the President thank a player for sticking around?
What's petty is our own supporters wanting to read too much into a speech and pat those players who are leaving us on the back as they leave our team in shambles.Why didn't he do it in the weeks and months after Broad said it on radio?
We all knew what John was doing. It wasn't necessary, it was just petty.
SARAH Olle and Josh Gabelich on Trade Exchange have discussed the potential hand Richmond could hold coming into the upcoming draft.
Following trade requests from Daniel Rioli - who last night won Richmond's Jack Dyer Medal - Shai Bolton and Liam Baker and with free agent Jack Graham also expected to depart, Gabelich says the Tigers could hold up to seven picks in the top 30 come draft night.
"If Dan Rioli gets to the Gold Coast Suns, as expected, there's a fair chance pick six from the Suns will be included in that deal, which is a big, big get when you consider where they're at right now," Gabelich said on Continental Tyres AFL Trade Radio.
"Liam Baker ... could pick 13 be included in this deal? They don't have pick 13 right now, the West Coast Eagles, Hawthorn do. The expectation is that will be included in the Tom Barrass trade.
"All of a sudden, there's pick six, there's pick 13 and we haven't even discussed Shai Bolton yet. The expectation is he (Bolton) does get to Fremantle, they've been in the hunt for him for the best part of three to four months now.
"Then factor in Jack Graham and the free agency compensation they will get for him.
"Richmond could really be armed with pick one, pick six, pick nine, pick 13, pick 16, pick 21 and pick 29 - that's not including the Jack Graham compensation." - Phoebe McWilliams

2 of these players are leaving breaking contracts because the club isn't performing anymore after coming out previously talking about being lifetime tigers.
I'd back the club 100% than these sooks
I think you are a fool.
our club us not in shambles if anything those leaving are help others in the club keep their jobs
