Retire / Trade / Delist
- Thread starter Carter
- Start date
4 year deal to a 29 year old in Guthrie. Looks like the Pussy Pensioner club just rolls on.
I can imagine the cats strategy with this....we need to invest in the younger part of our list. Let's give Guthrie 4 years.
He'll just about be in his prime when this contact ends, then 5 year extension.
It is paywalled anyone what plan Bucky is dreaming up for the Tige's?
Bucky: The trade move that could power Tiger rebound
Write Richmond off at your peril. The list is still packed with A-grade talent, and one savvy deal could make it even stronger. Gary Buckenara rates every Tiger.
Here's most of the HS Buckenara article..Can't break the code for ya @caesar ..... I'm sure he'll mention how he stooged us in 2004 though
Pretty much a nothing article by Gary Buckenara - gives Costagna & Chol the same B Grade rating as Vlastuin, Prestia, Lynch, Lambert and Bolton
...Even Daniel Rioli gets a C Grade rating.....lol

LIST NEEDS
Injuries to Nankervis and Soldo exposed the Tigers’ midfield at times this season and they might need to look at bringing in another experienced ruckman, and hopefully some of their development talls can come on.
I think they will continue to look at a balance of attracting free agents and out of contract players as well as investing in younger players to keep the list in good shape.
TRADE TARGETS
I’m not sure the Tigers will be big players in the trade period, and they are likely to head to the draft with an excellent hand — picks 7, 16, 26 and 28.
But an experienced ruckman would be a good option and a player in the mould of Jon Ceglar would be the type of player needed.
He is contracted at the moment at Hawthorn but could be gettable with the club looking to young ruckman Ned Reeves.
TRADE BAIT
I don’t think players will want to move away and I doubt that Richmond will look to offload any players that would get early draft picks, especially in a draft that has been very hard to access watching players around the country live due to Covid.
I expect most of the clubs in the top eight will look to make minimal changes to their list and Richmond, I am sure, will have very few changes.
Josh Caddy is one who seems to have fallen out of favour and could look for opportunities elsewhere.

Looking forward to Noah Balta lifting his game and become a premiership backman.
He's obviously trying to ship Ceglar to us so the Hawks can pick up CJ for the jockstrap they found in Clarksons locker.

Dan Rioli C grade
Not sure about Dion Prestia as a B grade either. Perhaps if you take injuries into account.
Yer, sure. Just like Naish (!?) and Ryan Garthwaite, Derek Eggmolesse-Smith, Matthew Parker.Dan Rioli C grade
The last thing we need is another ruck being one of the rare clubs with 5 already on the list, such that we cannot keep them all as is, and must make a tough decision on losing Chol or CCJ. Why on earth would we need/want a battling ruckman approaching the scrapheap like Ceglar?
What is he on? With all due respect, think Bucky checked out on knowledge and relevance some time ago.
Just had to laugh. This bloke's gone bonkers just like Mark Manure.Dan Rioli C grade
