Trade period / National Draft 2024

[_RT_]

 

[The_Kraken]

Im not a fan of equalisation

should be like the epl

we are a rich club for no reason, you cant benefit from being rich in the cfl anymore

Can you imagine the outrage if we were relegated?

 

[tigs2010]

No pressure just a once in a lifetime player.
How hard could it be?

Not like I asked for a Cotch, Jack and Tross as well!

Carey and Buddy are the two obvious choices.

they are no obvious choices but they are choices meaning a star does not mean someone one necessarily goes to the footy specifically for to watch.

Bontempelli might be marginally someone to go to watch the footy for specifically for some as he is rather unique but there are not that many I would have thought currently

By the way just because we select a player high in the draft does not mean they have the pressure to be a player to go to the footy for.

Sam Walsh is a very good player, but I am not specifically going to the footy to watch him necessarily.

A lot only go to the races to watch Black Caviar or Winx but how often do they appear and now with the higher prizemoney and lower turnover the racing industry has a few issues apparently with cost of living and high housing costs? Maybe the new business model requires thinning out the player marketing divisions and become more team performance orientated toward premiership aspirations?

What would everyone think about us trading Vlaustin? I just wonder whether it would be worthwhile trading any assets that we have that aren't going to be at the club next time we contend and he is one of them.

Please note that I adore Vlaustin, I'm just thinking about our options. Please play nice if you don't like the idea. I'm just exploring thoughts.

We do not want RFC to go the way of the dodo and we want the best for Vlastuin and RFC surely

Shit rag….hope you don’t pay for that garbage

The irony of the herald scum rejoicing in scahendreude…when they can’t giveaway their paper for free…only the toothless with Hapsburg jaws still buy that shite



We will be back…HS won’t



End of rant….

Smilie is nothing like Cripps or Tom Green. The only thing they have in common is their height.

The closest thing to Cripps in this draft is likely Jack Ough. Who if the last two games are anything to go off will be rising in the lead up to the draft.

I’d say that’s fairly accurate.

We need to keep the older ones who aren't going to get us overs. This guy is a rock down back. What would we get?

I just wonder whether a contender would pay overs to get him for a couple years.

He wants to keep all links to Mia at Richmond. Battle FA and JUH trade.

on a pure "potential" level Josh Smillie is the most athletic Cripps-like player to appear in a draft since Tom Green.

We chose Ben Lennon over Cripps because of the same reasons Josh is falling down the rankings.

My biggest worry is that this draft and next we HAVE to get a franchise player that can sell memberships and get bums on seats. WCE are TRASHHHHH but the Harley effect gets them through the door.

Im not worried about getting a franchise player in this draft, happy to add
an A grader or 2 and a couple of B graders ( with a loaded draft hand)
When you look at our list I don’t think we have an A grade kid on our list at the moment. Gibcus probably the closest.

pick 6 the cursed pick

There are some players like HBF and small forwards that aren’t overly difficult to replace , accumulating intercept defenders who are very good marks , a rarer commodity, the kids will need experience around them To develop, Vlas appeals as valuable in that regards , there’s enough already on the table

i've always pictured this board to be majority balding 40+ yr olds so that seems like it'd be a big ask in my imagination
