At this rate we are going to have more than a dozen picks.
We'll need to bundle some of those up for Brisbane's pick 20 and give assurances we won't bid on Ashcroft at 1.
We'll also use some of those to get into next year's draft as well.

Yep - its way way way too many picks to take to a single draft - they need some "top up" players that can play now, pronto. They can't expect the members to turn up for 18 weeks to watch this current team get walloped, surely. You can't lean on the past success that much. Ultimately the club has had about 5 good years for their members over the past 40 years

fu*k the cfl

Wouldn't be surprised if we had actually floated to Freo that we'd be open to a future 1st as part of Bolton package.

Club had said they will also be looking to bolster next years hand and not going all in on 1 draft.

Freo offer 11, 30 & 66 to Melbourne for future 1st, 28 & 64.

Richmond get 10 & future 1st tied to Dees for Bolton.

Melbourne realise in April that their culture is actually stuffed and come out of denial when they find themselves bottom 6 with no first rounder... Tigers go into 2025 draft with 1&6.

Don't mind as the Dees i reckon will finish bottom 3 next year.
I'd also push for Freo's pick 30(28) for salary cap relief.

A bit more insight into what’s motivating Twomey.

The Essendon supporter is worried they will have use the first pick on a Kako bid so wants his club to try and trade up to pick 2 or 3 and then use junk picks or (defecit maybe) to match the Kako bid.

More power in the draft for us, the more competition for his team.

 

[Groupie_]

Twomey said he expects either band 2 or 3, which is end of 1st round or right after our 2nd rounder (pick 25ish)

Its amazing how anyone thinks Twomey has credibility, he's a mouthpiece employed by the AFL just like Barrett.

PLEASE EXPLAIN AFL

bloody see you next tuesday's

 

[Roksman]

And people wonder why the world has gone to shit? You're not allowed to criticise btw!

 

[tgrs]

Should we trade up with all these picks?

 

[Groupie_]

Had to balance the ledger after Battle. Some prophet on here said a couple of days ago that the uproar over Battle would ensure bad news for us.

why didnt they do the deal before battler then ? complete benny hill show rfc

This is what happens when you hire based on gender targets and not meritocracy.

she wasnt anywhere near the best candidate, she was the best female candidate

Devine femunin my arse.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

To be fair, none of the male condidates are the best candiates either, but they get selection also

(Boys club)

 

[NaturalDisaster]

Plenty of white men get hired in jobs they suck at too.

 

[WCWarlords2012]

Sheer incompetence!

We are going to be so under the cap why couldn't our club say to the eagles up his contract we'll pay X amount towards it so we can get a better compo pic.

Probably because that would be straight up cheating?

Richmond has begun talks on deals which will deliver the club an historic package of early draft picks to help turbocharge the Tigers’ rebuild.

The Tigers are preparing to secure a suite of seven early choices which could see Adem Yze’s men hold selections 1, 6, 10, 14, 18, 20 and 24 by the trade deadline next Wednesday night.

Richmond also secured pick 42 as free agency compensation for Jack Graham’s exit but that could be swept up in a swap with Brisbane to nab the Lions’ pick 20.

The Herald Sun revealed on Tuesday the Tigers had received an end-of-second round compensation pick for Graham’s move to West Coast on a four-year deal as an unrestricted free agent.

The Lions are eager to off-load pick 20 for a suite of later selections such as the Tigers’ cluster of second and third-round picks to help Brisbane bank points for father-son jet Levi Ashcroft and academy prospect Sam Marshall.

The Tigers will snare pick six (as a minimum) for Daniel Rioli (Gold Coast), pick 14 for Liam Baker (West Coast), and look set to land 10 and 18 for Shai Bolton (Fremantle).

The deals will put the Tigers in an extraordinary position to hand-pick its next wave of young stars in one hit although Richmond will look to trade at least one of the picks into next year.

List boss Blair Hartley has begun talks with the Suns, Dockers and Eagles on the deals which could trickle into next week as the finer details and lesser pick swaps are thrashed out.

The situation makes the Tigers’ premiership talent expert the busiest man in football over the next eight days as he looks to lay the foundation for the club’s next shot at a premiership.

But the Tigers’ dealings will also involve other clubs as well, as Melbourne is looking to trade a future pick with either Richmond or Fremantle to give the Demons another first-round choice.

The Demons already hold the number five selection after a dismal year on and off field.

Gold Coast is prepared to hand over pick six for best-and-fairest winner Rioli as part of an exchange which bears resemblance to Adelaide’s move on Izak Rankine for pick five two years ago.

The Suns could also look to involve a future first-round pick in a deal as the Suns prepare to send Jack Lukosius to Port Adelaide in exchange for the Power’s top selection next year.

The Dockers are well-placed to hand over 10 and 18 for Bolton who has shown tremendous upside but battled to produce his best form consistently in yellow and black.

Baker’s move to West Coast looks straightforward as the Eagles wait to receive pick 14 from Hawthorn for Tom Barrass and hand then on to Richmond for Baker.

The Eagles also want a secondary pick such as a future second-rounder to give up Barrass to Waverley where he is expected to help make the Hawks a top-four contender alongside departed Saints’ backman Josh Battle.

Barrass, who is regarded as one of the best defenders in the league, turned 29 on Tuesday.

While the Hawks are on the up, the departure of four of the Tigers’ best players will leave the club exposed on the field next year and the clear favourite for the wooden spoon.

It will put the onus on key recruits Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper to carry a huge load in the midfield after joining the club at the end of 2022 to be part of a premiership push.

The Tigers gave up picks 12 and 19 for Taranto and a future first-rounder and pick 31 for Hopper.

Clubs are expected to make longshot plays for the two midfielders next year who both lobbed at Punt Rd on lucrative seven-year deals.

The pair have said they are committed to the Richmond rebuild but that faith could be tested if the losses mount next year.

Jay Clark

Freo well place to land Bolton for 10 & 18.

Is that right Jay you moron. I'm sure Blair is constantly on the phone with you flog.

Just making the point we are not trading a player the quality of Danger or Cameron. And trading a quality player in contract is very rare, so not many good comparisons I can think of.

Papley was in contract when Carlton wanted him. A single pick around 10 was gonna get it done.

Houston is contracted. Dual AA. He won’t get traded for anything remotely as good as pick 10 and 11 in this super strong draft.

We might get 10 and 11 if we pay some salary. Or 10 and 11 if we give back a F2 or F3 perhaps.

Just because he’s contracted it doesn’t mean it makes sense for us to reject trade value that makes sense, even if it’s not seen as ‘massive overs’. And just because he’s contracted it doesn’t mean Freo will offer something ridiculous. It certainly makes it harder for Freo, but from Freo’s point of view his value to them is the same whether he’s contracted or not, so they’ll pay a little more but will still only offer a trade that makes sense to them.

So for some here we seem to think - he’s contracted so we will get massive overs in a trade. Not realising teams won’t pay massive overs when they can get other players in trades or save the money for free agents they get for nothing.

But I agree, there are not many comparisons, but if we get 10 and 11 with us giving back a little something that’s a great deal and I’d take it and run rather than keep Bolton and get less in the future in likely weaker drafts.

Houston is a hbf
Bolton is a fwd/Mid
Who's a game breaker?
Pretty obvious why Bolton is worth more.

Last time I checked it's not up to the RFC to decide when Jack Graham makes a decision on which contract he will accept?
