He did that on Thursday, before Collins was even mentioned.
Can't possible see why.
Better than nothing I suppose but they will definately need to exchange picks in our favour. Its just really disappointing he has chosen to leave.
Seemingly Richmond judge trade week success by the scraps they can pounce on in the PSD. Not a shred of coherent trade discussion to be had on that board, just retrobates frothing at the mouth at the prospect at picking up another clubs fringe players.
Well done guys...you sure showed us
If both were in contract they'd have to upgrade ours. But unfortunately Grigg has decided to walk out and Richmond are well placed in the PSD. If an upgrade of very late picks is required, I've got not worries if it sees us getting anything of note from this debacle.

I see Chamber-Pot posting happily away on the Richmond board. Is he just banned from the Carlton board? Poor nong. Last post I read that was directed at him said "Please go away". Gotta laugh.

Any deal where both groups of supporters walk away unhappy is probably a fair deal. I haven't seen much of Collins (did see his 2 goal heroics on LRT), but I haven't really been that impressed with what I have seen. Seems like a good ordinary type who plays with a lot of enthusiasm, kind of like a Richmond version of Mitch Robinson.
I'm prepared to believe Denham if he has run with it as fact. This is different to his usual rumour reporting, which is quickly forgotten. He is actually claiming this will happen tomorrow and both Carlton and Richmond supporters won't forget it if it doesn't happen.

Will wait for this to be confirmed, but I'd be over the moon if this trade happened.
Have always liked Collins as a player, and in a trade that could easily have resulted in us getting completely shafted, this is a great result. I'd do it even if we did have to upgrade a few of their later picks.
Here's hoping it is true.

Same here.
He has always seemed like a good kid. Sort of like Hendo. He is young and there is plenty of room for improvement if he gets out of Richmond.
Wouldn't be unhappy at all if this trade happened.
Denham seems pretty unambiguous about this:
I reckon he must of confirmed this with club or player. Imagine the shit KB would give him on SEN if he got this wrong.
From what i gather that reaction has more to do with how much he is loved by the tiger fans then anything else.

all any doubters have to do to see if this is a decent trade for us is go to the ricmond board .... they are in meltdown over this.
Hope it gets confirmed so that I can have decent giggle.
Wow trade week has been exhausting this week!

I reckon that this will make it hard to play the three amigo's all at once. However, if Collins can rotate through the midfield then that could mean that the club would be working on developing Yarrans tank during the pre-season with the intention of having him playing on one of the wings.
Or... he could be being brought in as a long term replacement for Hoops.

That would have to be the plan.
I'm not quite sure whether or not Collins is AFL best-22 quality in the long term but at the very least he'll make a very handy depth player. Has to be considered a big win for the club considering the circumstances.
I think Grigg has more potential than Collins but it's not always about potential - Collins has the level-headed maturity that a club needs. Is an inspiring type of guy who you never have to question whether or not he leaves it all out on the field. Quite possibly the polar opposite of what we're losing in Grigg.
Anybody remember Matty Lloyd's tale about Collins?
I think that Hoops has a 1-2 more years on the front line and then he will become a depth player as his career winds down. About that time I reckon that Collins would have come on enough to take over Hoops place with confidence.

If this is true it must be that Richmond is willing to lose a little on this deal in order to achieve its overall strategy which may involve another one of your players. I don't think this hand has been 'played-out' just yet.

If true, your club has managed to make the yellow and black bleed again, oh how I hate the old dark navy blues...
Your song is bullshit, you let me down a lot of the time

thats the clubs plan for this preseason
This is a strange deal. I'm just bitterly disappointed with what Grigg did. He'll be regretting that decision for the rest of his career. Would have thought a draft pick, or a player over 192cm would have been more logical. Grigg for Collins seems a downgrade to me, and he'd have to improve enormously to crack into our starting 22 and might be stuck in the Bullants. Feel sorry for Collins, given that he was committed to the Tiges, and is being thrown out by someone who was disloyal and shafted his club at the last minute for an easy game and a bucketload of cash. Well, thats trade week for you.
