And after 13 years GWS still hasn't won the premiership and GC hasn't made the finals so as good as our hand is no panacea as expansion picks were even better than ours.

Trade Week - Richmond Only
- Thread starter Smoking Aces
- Start date
As opposed to winning two games for the year with the same players? Gotta role the dice
It will be but it will be fun watching the team for a totally different reason. We will have so much young talent and I can’t wait to see them on the park.
Might go back to watching some vfl games live as well.
And another crack at the draft next year with some solid picks before the Tasmanian raid
Would love to hear from Blair, but I reckon he's doing a Dusty and avoiding the seagulls.
They did mention on trade radio he'd come on for a chat, that was a while ago though.
Agree. Nothing guaranteed. But by heck you need access to top end talent which we now have an opportunity to get. I’ll back our capabilities in terms of the all important intangibles (I.e. culture, values, standards, united vision, buy in to game plan etc.) to help maximize the talent at our disposal
Thanks Julius, I just wasted time watching AFL Live Radio crap.
‘We’ve been able to get our deals done’ - Hartley
Richmond GM of Football Talent Blair Hartley spoke to the media this evening as the AFL trade period comes to a close.www.richmondfc.com.au
So Norfs have traded pick 25 for Daniel and 44 for Parker + Konstanty. That leaves them with picks 2 and 62. They will want to get back in - supposedly keen to use their future first - as well as split pick 2. They want three decent picks at the draft. We could help them with that.
I might have been wrong to think Melbourne were after pick 2. Certainly now with 5 & 9 their only picks until the dregs and Norf with nothing to give back with 2.
So, we're the frontrunners. And maybe Norfs have just traded themselves out of getting say 6 & 10 from us. Let someone else trade for their F1 - we'll have those coming out of our ears anyway. We'll take pick 2 and give them two good picks. I still think 6 needs to be involved or they'll try to sell to St Kilda or GWS. But maybe it's 6 & 20 now. That'd be pretty sweet business for us.

Nailed the trade period. Now let’s nail the draft in memory of Chris Toce. And then let’s stick it up the rest of the competition and media flogs!
Agree Spook. 6 & 20 will be a great result.
We have 8 picks now. I think we end up with 6 come the end of the draft.
Hartley showed real leadership today.
I'm guessing the Tigers have been aware his health wasn't great for the past few days, as Blair always appeared down. I thought it was odd that a list manager would be this upset at going through the trade week, or having to trade away three players.
Now I can understand better. Would have had a lot on his mind.
