List Mgmt. Trade & Free Agency talk Pt 5

[SleepingGiant]

don’t get excited and things can change but my sources tell me we are considering improving our draft position and may or may not be internally discussing potential player trades. Stay tuned.

Now we have the picks sorted it is the upgrade with Collingwood or Essendon and Curnow.

 

[Joey longshadow]

I dont mind the sound of this Tim Minchin fella...

Can Mildura Jim do the forensics on this before we draw too many conclusions,

Mildura Jim ...Sounds like he belongs in an Australian version of Zombieland

 

[lumpinee]

And Prestia's an example of a quick fix. List-building requires both.

And there is no God.

i know,the proper name is Yaweh

Look I’m pretty connected with the club so I’ll give you some inside juice…. We’re going on a spending spree for players in the next 30 hours as Dusty agreed to go to rookie list as long as all 100,000 members buy a DM by Dusty T-shirt

 

[Hank Heavenly]

Now we have the picks sorted it is the upgrade with Collingwood or Essendon and Curnow.

If it's Essendon, I hope it's 26+28 for 11 ( that's slightly in their favour for value) even if we through 81 in there to keep Dodo happy.

That would leave us with 7,11,15, what we choose to do from there is anyone's guess.

Essendon would then get two picks in the draft, which they have publicly said they want ,OR they give 28 to GWS for Bobby Hill and take 26 to the draft.

Blair was on Trade Radio recently. He gave me the sense that we are very open to doing some live trading to upgrade 2021 picks (stating the obvious I know, but great to hear directly from RFC).

Where can I buy a shirt?

 

[tigs2010]

The year is 2035 and I'm spending the first couple of weeks of retirement reading posts on here with people still trying to work out how we can finally get Tom Green to Richmond for the last year or 2 of his career.

The year is 2024 and I'm reading _RT_ 's 46th trade hypothetical of how to get Lipinski from Collingwood

 

[DoItForCaptBlood]

guys please don't get too excited but my sources are indicating we are pushing very hard for some exciting maneuvers vis-a-vis both pick upgrades and a nice little doozy of a player trade. delicate situation though so no guarantees ok?

Tom Green... The doozy!!!

It's happening!!!

 

[Grrr]

The draft is boring though because it’s like an investment so you have to wait for your reward. Trades are more like gambling because you think you know the outcome but things can go either way.

But you might hit the jackpot with the draft. Fyfe, Martin... I'm not much of a gambler.

 

[docko911]

There will be a stall at the Dandenong markets 9am - 1pm Mondays and Tuesdays… cash only… no tax invoices

Not every share you buy is going to be Afterpay

"We read it on Big Footy, chucked it on the white board and thought that's just as ridiculous as everything else we've read on Big Footy. Well it is Norf maybe they'll do that"

 

[MilduraJim]

Spoke to my contact.

1. We are so tight with the salary cap, its very unlikely we could get someone like Mitchell without Hawks paying and our players renegotiating contracts.
2. We are working actively to package up picks to move up (1st or 2nd round). That's their main focus right now.
3. Not Richmond related - but Jason Horne-Francis is 99% going to Norf. Apparently the young fella has been researching North history and players etc. He want to go 1 and has accepted it will be at Norf. Norf can't be happier with his attitude.

That's all for now!

would do that

even try and get 23 so 23 and 26 for 11

 

[Phar Ace]

Giving up two firsts for Tom Green is insane.

Free agents are so much better value and more conducive to winning a premiership. TOm Green would not come because he will want to win premierships

We dont agree on much - but there is always that rare gem like this

Even though North only spoke to him a week ago........

 

[Phar Ace]

Dimmeys

 

[DoItForCaptBlood]

would do that

As GWS said, no point talking to Dudero. He's like that used car salesman who looks to shaft everyone who walks in. No point 'negotiating' with him. Make an offer sure, but walk away and say 'call if interested'. Ignore all counter offers.

 

[MilduraJim]

I would suggest that Norf are telling little white lies like they all do at this time of year. The year Tigger was draft, clubs where speaking to him and his school on how he was going at least 9 months before the draft.

Interestingly North thought they where going to get Tigger in that draft and kept on ringing his high school to see how he was going with his Year 12.

Agree, avoid the laborious drawn out negotiation/arguments for sure( aka do not be sucked into a trap)

I think it was from an interview with Horne - and it was suggested he had heard directly from almost every Club, and North was not one of them until a week ago - might become an urban myth - but they are not quick off the mark at Arden St (on good authority about that last bit)

Norf have no intention to bid on Diacos or Darcy. For them it's simple they have the first pick and they think Horne is easily the best player in the draft. That came from some one very in the know at Norf.
