You are Richmond's list manager, what do you do this off season?

[Haggard H]

If I was List Manager

Keep our required players. > Pretty much done, waiting on Lennon

Get as much talent as possible for as little as possible in trades and FA's. > Yarran and Bennel fit this. Would like inside mid and ruck. But what with?

Draft players to fill holes 5 years out, if young, or immediate holes if mature aged state leaguers. > Depends on picks available after trades.

I wouldn't trade young guys with talent, but injuries etc > Griff, Conca unless a great deal was put up or the medicos reckoned they were shot.

I'd be looking at next year to try and set up FA's/Trades.
Look at players on the list and work out who needs to be moved on given our playing list and age /fitness structure. So, that means ruck (Ivan), KPB (Chapman) need replacements - which we have (Hampster and Astbury/Elton) but not of proven AFL quality.

Overall, I'd say I'd be doing pretty much what they are doing. I'd love to have gotten Danger, but he was Geelong or Adelaide only. Treloar would have been great, but the Pies are wiling to pay overs for players.

* I'd also be trying hard to make sure other clubs pay high prices for players that we don't get. I.e. Pies pay 2 * firsts for Treloar.

Right on the money with every call, I reckon.
