Hope he signs a 4 year deal with us just to watch some heads explode in here.Happy Jack Graham Departing/Re-Signing Day to all those who celebrate
Yep. What people just can’t seem to understand or comprehend in the Rioli and Bolton deals. Long term contracts. Pay up or FRO and they stay at Tigerland. The club has to come first here.The Bolton trade is very easy .....pay up Freo or Fook off and be a shit club forever !!!...we will be quite happy to keep Bolton .....over to you ya purple fooks....that should be our one and only statement to Freo on the subject
tell us how you really feelWill you f**king shut up Magic. Players aren’t coming back if they leave. You are a virus that eats away at the fabric of decent conversation. Go get help you imbecile.
We're in a great position to offer Cadman a godfather offer in 2yrs time or so.Best bit if we time it well we offer the Giants one of our picks in the Tassie compromised draft.Meh, let Geelong grab the damaged goods, it'll come back and bite them in one form or another. We're playing the good and smart game.
I think it's a given that salary cap trading will be implemented, if not next year then certainly the year after. This will add another dimension as to how clubs can build their lists and will be a vital cog in the machinations. Those clubs who can take advantage will have a leg up on the others particularly with Tassie entering the draft landscape in 3 years time.
There's currently a mild form salary cap trading which we've seen with the Treloar, Grundy and Bowes trades, I have no doubt that the Tigers will be juicing up the salaries in the Bolton and Rioli deals too.
The Tigers have cleared a monumental amount of salary off their books, firstly through the retirements of Dusty, Grimes, Pickett and Naismith, secondly by releasing Bolton, Bakar, Rioli and Graham. I would hazard a guess that it would be around $5m. There's a substantial rise coming next year in TPP's but I would think that most of that would already be factored into contracts, possibly through front loading.
There's also been a change in banking TPP's where 95% was the threshold and clubs could bank that 5% for two years. It's now 90% and that 10% can be banked for 3 years. If the Tigers took full advantage then they could build a warchest of around $5m.
I don't think that Richmond will target many FA players over the next 2 years, maybe some young fringe players if they see value. I do expect that they'll hit the draft hard and could easily end up with 10 first round picks over the next 3 years and likely more than that with salary cap trading. Mark my words though, we're in a great position to hit the FA market hard before Tassie comes in and I mean real hard.
Completely agree , bottom clubs rarely have experienced qty on hand like this to nurture draftees , it’ll certainly help us be competitive provided they stay fitWe are lucky to have leaders like Lynch, Broad, Prestia, Vlaustin, Nankervis etc at the club whilst we go through this rebuild. They won’t be around when we are challenging but because of them we will eventually challenge again.
I’m completely at peace with that , his spot is the first we need to replaceFully expect Graham's paperwork to be lodged today to be a WCE.
he went to tour West Coast facilities yesterday probably did a couple of photoshoots, Interviews for the club yesterday.
Be great if a whistleblower brings the cats down.Cats third party deals.
CFL with a brush and some carpet.
Richmond have always done it the hard way.
Need to set up a holiday Village in Torquay ,the home of the Tigers.
Or just win premierships the Richmond Way,with grace.
And West Coast sniffing(Doing us a favor)I never believed for a second that 9 & 16 would get the Bolton deal done.
he is 4 years under contract.
Trade 16 for a future 1st.A few clubs will jump at 16 this year.Pies/Geelong to name a few.If they pay fair value for Bolton they don’t have the capital to get Warner next year. That’s why they’re melting so hard.
Or staying at the SwansIt really is quite simple.
Give us pick 9 & 10 like we want or don't get Bolton. How bad do Freo want Bolton? Their club recently said the time is now to get elite talent in instead of drafting young guys and waiting for them to develop.
If they want Warner more than Bolton, then don't trade for Bolton and move your picks into next year, however there's no guarantee that Warner picks Freo. Would be pretty funny if they moved their picks to make a play for Warner and he ended up picking West Coast.
Benny Gale was always big on that vs when he came in. KB’s cubs were so talented and we should’ve been better, but had very few to bring them alongCompletely agree , bottom clubs rarely have experienced qty on hand like this to nurture draftees , it’ll certainly help us be competitive provided they stay fit
If North keep 2 they'll take Armstrong.If we are trading up to 3 to get a specific player, you would also need to be sure that North don't trade pick 2 to someone else then.
Then we keep Rioli.i would love to get 12 but i think it's about a 1% chance of happening so i don't bother pipe dreaming that much. I think getting pick 20 is hopeful but also unlikely as Gold Coast still need points for Lombard.
Other teams are coming hard for pick 12, more than we can offer for Rioli & other picks, especially when future 1st rounders are being thrown around for it. Doubt we have any chance.
Lmao we aren't blowing up a deal for Rioli if we don't get 12 as well as 6. That's just silly.Then we keep Rioli.
Pretty sure the Suns would be aware of it.
too long....been a while since BJ then
WOW..because we have enough experience anyway
Lynch is not our best forward and leader.
Shai Bolton is
Still think he is more valuable to us with his knowledge for our young fwds.$1.35m for 2025 Lynch would be a big swing for the Lions, or anyone. Do doubt that would appeal
The caller was a 'Jobe' Stronger.....Some flog on radio has linked us to stringer on a 3 year deal

I think Stone has the body for AFL, but not the tenacity. Bit of Tarzan-Jane about him......we do not want Stone,, f... me..
he does not suit our development profile
