With our best players playng junior in Victoria, (martin, lids, cotchin) do we risk picking up Grundy, Mayes or Menzel?
When our track record with south Australians are shocking
I hope we select a kid from Victoria
 
The go home factor is always strong and now with free agency will get even stronger. If Cotch was from SA, you can bet the Adelaide clubs would be into him from about 4-5 years.

Wanted to play in a premiership.....and he did.

So lets draft them so they can go and play in premierships at other clubs, top stuff!

LOL so this is exclusive to ruckman is it? Ottens left because we sucked at the time, don't blame him. Let's draft the best players and start making finals, if they still want to leave so be it, we will get a 1st rounder back (Ottens, Jolly)

Does this go for kids from WA, NSW, Qld, NT or Tassie as well?
Probably the real reason we overlooked "Buddy" ;) we might have to trade Rance & Jack .
I'd rather we build a winning environment and attract and keep our best players

If we are any good as a club, then they will mostly want to stay.

If they are any good, but don't want to stay, then we should be able to get a good trade for them

If they are no good, then who cares.

I am pretty confident that we now have a positive environment for the kids to learn. All players can leave for many reasons, look at Ablett to GCS - he left a good stable club that has still played finals.

Get the best we can to come to the club regardless of where they are from.
 
Got a vague feeling plenty of interstate migrants were happy to be playing at Brisvegas a few years ago. Same might be said for a few of those dodgy imports playing for Sydanee.
Build a decent club / team and players from all over the country will be more than happy to receive an invitation.

Damn King Islanders, they *smile* off back to SA first chance they get.

Spot On there is not many players at richmond these days that want to leave quite sure there would of been some nervous players scared of getting delisted the club is on the up who wouldnt want to play with the likes of cotch, lids, martin, roo , rance etc etc

Only time they should consider this is when they can't split a player.
