Good question.
NFI, personally, just wanted someone to help the kids.
Set and drive standards, training, the full box and dice.
You can't just have kids.
No one has nominated us so far, so looks like full youth policy.
We will cop some fearful poundings, I fear.
Even if we only have half of this year's injuries next year, then factor in all the experienced outs..... Yikes.
I can think of a half dozen or so players who when fit are automatic ins and have experience, more than half have played in Premierships. It’s more than Hardwick had when he first came in.
We are in the envious position of having the first pick in the PSD as well - the brains trust can assess where we are at, what we have, and whether it is worth picking up an experienced player who is out of contract and can add to the group.
Yeah, usually the no.1 psd pick is some crappy club no one wants to go to (I’m looking at you North Melbourne…..) but at least this time it’s Richmond, a big 4 club that plays at the G with a huge membership and supporter base. Whilst the next few years will be tough you’d be selling them on aforementioned pluses and hope whoever it is that we may be able to steer through to the psd is sold on that.
I dont reckon we keep a list spot for the psd.
Instead we use all 10 (or whatever) in the first 25 picks
Riley Bonner and Jackson Hately are the only players to change clubs via the PSD since Jack Martin in 2019.
I wouldn't be getting too excited.
Heard from family today that Jack is almost 100% staying. West Coast offer not as good as Tigers and no interest from Radelaide.
He can't do that. Gunna completely stuff up our draft fantasies when we don't get rid of a slow lumbering midfielder for an early 2nd round pick. Someone ring Blair quick n tell him to pull the last offer.
Not cool man. There's one thing I wouldn't call Graham and that's fat.
Yeah we're all aware his durability isn't up to par. This is a guy who played with a busted shoulder to help get us into a GF, I'm sure if his body were up to it, he'd play more for us. Heart and soul fella.
I'm OK if he wants to leave, but let's not forget the good stuff he's done for us.
Hopefully he wants a fresh start, move to WA. He’s really been treading water for a few seasons. I’m not sure what’s going to change for him that he’s going to really improve his output.
Exactly. The reason noone is linked to us is because we aren't looking for players to join us and neither should we.
It's possible we may land someone in a money ball type deal but that would be about it. Maybe a mature aged back up ruck as well.
If the west coast deal is worse than ours why wouldn't he have announced it by now, our offer has been on the table for a few weeks ? I can't see the point for him of moving across the country from the bottom team to the 3rd bottom team for less money.
Surely there is more to it than that? Maybe it is the possibility of McQualter being coach ?
Maybe the club knew Eagles offer wasn't going to get us much compo so would have preferred to keep him hence offering a better deal ?
