What are the best trades your club has ever done?

From the Lions i reckon getting Mal Michael to Brisbane where he and Leppa held the defence together during the premiership years was one of the best for our club.

 

[King Elvis]

McLeod.

 

[Stormer]

Carey for 10,000 from Sydney

 

[cats2rise]

Ottens. Best I can remember.

Gave away Meyer and Pattison by virtue of Richmond drafting them.

No coincidence that our losses in round 4 and 5 happened to be without the help of the big donut.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Pick 1-20-36
for Croad+Mcpharlin

 

[gandaal]

Hamill for Pick 4

We have a poor trading history.

 

[Stormer]

Instead of listing draft picks maybe list the players you got with them picks, would be indicative.

 

[BrisGirl]

Headland for draft pick = Brennan

 

[Eagles 4 Mine]

Stenglien

 

[Big Cox]

Pick 8 (Luke Brennen) for Daniel Chick

Smother handball shepherd Goal

 

[jonesy86]

Nathan Buckley for Craig Starcevich, Troy Lehman and draft pick (chris scott)

does anyone know what the pies gave up for James Clement?

Given it was Fremantle - probably a mouldy sandwich!

 

[tigerdan]

Jeff Hogg and a draft pick (I think it was #8 but will stand corrected) for Michael Gale, Paul Broderick and Matthew Dundas.

Sorry, Fitzroy....!

don't speak badly about that mouldy sandwich...its freo's best hope for an AA guernsey and definately front line stakes for its B&F.

definately a win for freo.

we also got harley from port Adelaide for nothing

 

[tonxi]

Liam Pickering, Leigh Tudor & Darren Steele for pick 123 (Marty Christensen redrafted)

Phil Gilbert to the Dockers for Jeff Farmer was pretty good.

3. Trent Croad and Luke McPharlin for picks 1 (Luke Hodge), 20 (Daniel Elstone) and 36 (Sam Mitchell).

2. Pick 10 (Ryley Dunn) for Trent Croad

[the_big_sav]

carey AND longmire for less then 30,000

 

[Jizza9]

Althought he wasn't a trade, he was picked up in the PSD I think, Craig Bolton is about the best value pick up we would have had in many years.

Jeff Hogg and a draft pick (I think it was #8 but will stand corrected) for Michael Gale, Paul Broderick and Matthew Dundas.

Sorry, Fitzroy....!

Tell it how it really was (insert angry swear word)

Richmond already did a deal with those players as Fitzroy couldn't pay them. All the senior Fitzroy players were abandoning ship. That wasn't a great trade, those players wanted out and Richmond like the dogs they are (can't recriut or develop there own players, look at last 30 years as examples)) came in waving a cheque book. In return Richmond offloaded a 'passed used by date' player and again Fitzroy got the rough end of the stick.

When you remind me of that deal, it actually makes me smile at how badly the tigers have gone in recent years, you deserve it.
