AFLW 2024 - Round 6 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
To build the elite midfield we need spots and to be honest only way to get spots is to trade Graham and Bolton (can probably keep Bolton but he has currency); delist Dow; retire Prestia; Move Baker to one end of the ground permentantly (I think the backline)We need to rebuild the midfield
If it means trading, rioli, Baker, Bolton
To get us another elite mid so be it , untill we bat deep in the midfield keep expecting the same results like last weekend
Like another poster said Hopper, taranto then daylight. Having said that I don't think we'll trade any of them unless they want to leave.
I'll have a goIn terms of players with any value...
Rioli - Needs to stay
Baker - It's up to him; would be happy with a 1st rounder or for his leadership, effort and versatility to stay at Punt Road
KMac - Can stay for 1-2 years if he keeps his current form. If not, maybe WCE/Norf want him for 2yrs.
Dusty - Will retire or go to GC for 2 years
Bolton - Trade him to Freo and pay a huge part of his contract for the next 2 years while we're only paying draftees, so we can maximise our trade return
Short - Trade to anyone who will take him; same deal re: paying most of his contract. Hope we get a 2nd rounder.
Graham - FA to anybody. Anybody at all.
in other words.. no interest at allTwomey mentioned on Gettable that he thinks JGTI may stay at Richmond.
I'm not against holding onto him if we let some of the other more valuable senior players go, given he probably doesn't net us much in terms of a compo pick.
Not even close. What a ridiculous call.This is the bleakest we’ve been since 1987
Why the **** would we pay a red cent of Bolton's contract??? If Freo wants him they will have to pay through the nose. That means a top-3 pick and another first-rounder. Or two top-10s and a second-rounder.Bolton - Trade him to Freo and pay a huge part of his contract for the next 2 years while we're only paying draftees, so we can maximise our trade return
Wrong Perth team wants him.....Why the **** would we pay a red cent of Bolton's contract??? If Freo wants him they will have to pay through the nose. That means a top-3 pick and another first-rounder. Or two top-10s and a second-rounder.
They don't have that currency and we don't want to lose him. He'll stay.
I’m confident we can rebound. Coz of our resources and experience in the right areas but our on field performance is as bleak as I’ve seen since 87 when Tony jewell had the reigns , the numbers say as much , we are literally tracking toward our worst losing streak at the mcg , everNot even close. What a ridiculous call.
It was bleaker nearly every year of the 90s, and from 2002 to 2009 as well.
**** me dead, Bo. Short memory.
We're loaded, we're well-run, we're in no danger of going extinct. We'll be back.
Rather sacrifice Bolton than Dan.If GC want Rioli they will pay the 2 x 1st rounders (2 in the 1st round not #20)
Picks mean nothing to GC this year and next year their time is 2025 - 2030) and Dimma wants to load up
he said 80% of his team are already in the room then added 4 academy kids and will add Lombard this year and another 2-3 next year.
Picks this year are not valuable to GC but Rioli is exactly what they need
I love dan Rioli almost as much as Dusty but offer like this you just cannot pass up with where our list is at
I am coz he always gets a gameTwomey mentioned on Gettable that he thinks JGTI may stay at Richmond.

Would you say it's time to crack open each other's skulls and feast on the goo inside?I’m confident we can rebound.

If we pay his contract during our shit years, when we dont need to use the cap, then we can get a LOT for him in terms of draft capital. 2 first rounders this year and 1 next.Why the **** would we pay a red cent of Bolton's contract???

Fmd just Capuano him ffs.in other words.. no interest at all
we will be stuck with him!!
happy days
No point hanging onto experience if the experience are checked out. That will set our culture back 10 years if the youngsters are exposed to it.But why gut the list for the sake of a speculative draft pick who may end up being a dud who never kicks on.
I think many on this board have become obsessed with draft picks and are letting that obsession rule their heads.
Gutting the list to fill the list with kids who may or may not kick on is the definition of bat shit crazy. You need to have experience around them.
We are very much very close from a list, player and performance perspective.Not even close. What a ridiculous call.

Agree both are performing well, but its not just onfield where leadership is built. Performance is at same level as previous years. We picked Baker up on the rookie list & he is being offered our Captaincy on an " open offer"? If we are offering him the Captaincy & the contract he is expecting & he isnt jumping at it, & still "torn", i'd consider that a dodged bullet. A rookie to Captain, or going back to Perth. Come on, we are Richmond ffsNot sure its fair to be attacking the leadership of Baker and Rioli. They've been two of a very small group of players that have been trying their guts out all year.
By the sounds of things, Rioli doesn't want to go and we don't want to lose him. I think it's a mix of GC enquiring and the media/fans pushing that one.
On Baker, I think he's genuinely torn on whether to go home or stay on as our next skipper. It's not like he's checked out and isn't turning up each week.
I’m resigned to that’s what’s required to chart a new course and give ooze a fresh set of keys with a smorgasbord of R1s . The hawks have actually turned the corner not so much with several early pics , they’ve nailed a few teen and r2 , will day has become a key and their three trades have all made an impact turning a shite vanilla f50 into a half decent oneNo point hanging onto experience if the experience are checked out. That will set our culture back 10 years if the youngsters are exposed to it.
In any event, Hawthorn didnt leave many experienced players and look at them now.
And worst case scenario, even if 4 out of 5 of prestia, Grimes, Kmac, Lynch and Broad retire, and we trade 4 out of 6 of Baker, Bolton, Short, Graham, Rioli and Martin, we will still have Nank, Balta, Taranto, Hopper, Vlastuin, pickett + 3 of the above.
Plus guys in their early to mid 20s will come on. Miller, Ralphsmith, Ross.
It's not like we will be drafting a dozen 18yo and throwing them all in at once.
Big fan of this kid. Could be anything.I’d be asking for pick 7 and Humphrey for Rioli
Hawthorn traded out players for picks and freed up opportunities for youngsters exactly like we should be doing.
I'm doing my best!!
