Player Watch Welcome to Port Adelaide Joe Richards

[philthy05]

You think I'm here to somehow influence his trade value? I'm not even here to argue about what we should get for him in a trade. I understand that a player in his position isn't going to be worth much more than a pick in the 40s.

I was just here to offer the opinion from someone who's watched plenty of him that I think he's going to be good for you guys and I think you'll enjoy watching him play. He's your Toby Bedford

I never said any of these things.

You’re complaining because we’re not rolling out the red carpet for you after the shit we’ve heard in here.

Get over it.

This is what Richmond fans told us about Soldo.

Yes...but on evidence, who would have believed them? Soldo was always gonna be hit or miss. Borderline goofy cult figure whose reputation was more attractive than his ability.

 

[PJ Power]

not a fan, id prefer owies

i guess he might be an upgrade on some of our smalls, would have rathered ANB or peatling

ANB would have been good. Upgrade on Mead.

Your not paying attention, we are getting a very good player for bugger all.
Read the above reviews on Collingwood Tripadvisor.

We need a perpetually injured small forward to cover for ORAZIO FANTAAASIA

 

[Port 2004]

Come back in April/May next year. He was the sub against Gold Coast because he was coming back from injury. Collingwood is stacked with small forwards (Elliott, Bobby, McCreery, Schultz). He's pure class. You clearly don't want to hear it now for some reason (have all Port fans developed a natural pessimism?) but he's good. Collingwood gave up Ginnivan for nothing last year, we love underestimating our fringe players and trading them just before they fully break out.

You gave 14 games to McEntee last year. 13 to Narkle. Mead played all 26. Richards is better than them. You'll realise it next year, you don't have to believe me now, just enjoy getting him for way less than his true value

I have watched Richards closely, in particular the last round against Melbourne. I agree with your assessment. Far better footballer than the other tried small forwards in our squad, Rioli aside. I for one are very happy that he is coming to Port.

FMD I think your onto something !

 

[rumoursofwinter]

Owies is horrible. Richards is 24. That doesn't seem old!

 

[dirty2]

Joe Richards should be a delisted free agent... That's about his worth.

Have you seen him play?

Except Collingwood offered him a contract. So he isn’t delist worthy.

If only you knew about Joe Richards

 

[EskimoPAFC]

We preferred to let Nick Stevens go for nothing instead of dealing with Collingwood's pathetic trade offers.

I mean we let Nick Stevens go for the prize of getting rid of Nick Stevens

Similar asking price for Ken Hinkley Id say

 

[EskimoPAFC]

The Vic media is not talking him up at all. I haven't heard a single person mention him in anything more than a passing comment. He's a no name. No one is suggesting it's a straight swap for Houston, he's going to be an added sweetener to the deal. I just rate him highly and think he could end up being a tiny bit like the Jack Crisp steak knives to the Dayne Beams deal back in 2014. Probably not to this level but he's good and will improve your side, I promise you.

It's not about this trade value, I'm just frustrated that he's leaving and I think/thought that fans of the team he's joining would be more interested in hearing the praise than the fans of the club he's leaving.

This forum has had to deal with 12 years of failure, wasted opportunities, shitting on tradition and gaslighting from our administration. Dont take it personally, we're always grumpy.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Has Hinkley just ruined your desire to enjoy footy? If a relatively unknown player was joining Collingwood I'd want to hear a little bit about him to get me excited. Maybe that's just me

Abso ****ing lutely

 

[240volt]

Have you seen him play?

From what I’ve seen he will be depth at worst.
Only thing that puts me off a bit is he’s a bit scrawny looking even for a small.
Bottom line he’s played 9 games and is 25 years old so I wouldn’t be getting my hopes up to much.

 

[elbarton]

Imagine if Joe Richards neknominated Port Adelaide. I’d like to see that!

 

[240volt]

For people saying Richards is going to be an upgrade on the likes of Evans, Mac and Narkle doesn’t exactly excite me.
In all honesty my Grandmother would be an upgrade on those 3.

Can we get her as a category B rookie?

Bi-Lo Bedford.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

He reminds me of Jason Horne Francis

Bi-Lo Bedford.

Stick around it will go from Tody Bedford to Toby Greene faster than you can say good old Collingwood forever.

That old bat saving the batteries in her hearing aid in Flowery Twats is his grandmother.

Fingers crossed. Toby Bedford was traded for pick 44 too. Happy to have him thrown in, but that value doesn’t really move the needle much in terms of a Houston trade.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Richards is a clever forward, as is Lukosius, and heaven knows we need those in our forward line. Both will complement Georgie and Rioli.

Lord leads well too.

*Edit - Marshall is a smart forward too but I just don't know what to expect there.
