Trade Week - Richmond Only
- Thread starter Smoking Aces
- Start date
Yeah I told @Dyer'ere the other day I didn't think Melbourne were going any further with 5 and 9.
And we've always been the number 1 potential transactor with Norf - for weeks - and that has strengthened even more now.
Think we are a super strong chance to trade into pick 2.
Quite, Redders. I hope you're right. Then I can put side my endless search for the fly ion the ointment. If Norfs trade we get more info on the board. Armstrong at #9? On the cards anyway. If Thurstfield Howell III trades down he knows Taylor won't be drafting the future Mrs Howell at #5.
Big difference between being disappointed in a trade or being disgusted.
But anyway,off you blokes go and enjoy your little snipe.
You and your mate must have just joined us. Scroll back a few dozen pages and catch up. Critics are still about. We reserve the right to judge each trade on its merits, rather than just being sycophantic supporters.
The likes of which will always find something to have a whinge about instead of sitting back and enjoying a reasonable trade period.

For some reason the image of Blair on the field after our 2017 premiership win has always stuck with me.
He was just shaking his head in disbelief as if to say “ how the *smile* did that happen?” .
Just one more note on Thursfield. If he wants Tauru he can get him at #2. But get only Tauru. How little/much more than the pick that gets Tauru will we have to offer him to get #2?
Who else can play?
Best scenario draft ever.

So lets see how Danjam went>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
He said 1,6,9,10,13,21,29
........ and we got:
1,6.10, 11, 18, 20, 23 and 24
How could he get it so wrong!!!!!!?????
Luckily there was almost 120 pages of conjecture, debate, criticism, ridicule and vitriol in the meantime!!!!
Well done DanJam
Well done RFC
We have lost some very good players - but eight selections in the Top 24 is the most transformative opportunity in recent RFC history (IMHO)..........
Get them right and we might get back into 'the window' sooner than we could have dreamed!!!
No more Ninthmond culture at RFC!!!!
How about this. Swap 1 for 5 & 9. Then offer 6 and 18 to north for 2
We still get 2 of fos, Lalor Draper, smith, Armstrong. North get taru. We downgrade 18 to 9
Yeah Id have to agree it was a reasonable trade period.Big difference between being disappointed in a trade or being disgusted.

At the start I wanted 1, 3, 6, 10, 23 and a couple of late picks.
With those we could possibly get O'Sullivan, Smith, Lalor, Armstrong, Whitlock and maybe El Noor and Davidson with the lates
We ended up with 1, 6, 10, 11, 18, 20, 23, 24
Which is about the same, except we lose out on the second mid at 3 but gain the extra couple of mids teens and early 20s
We could get O'Sullivan, Lalor, Armstrong, Travaglia, Shanahan, Whitlock, Faull and Dodson or Whitlock, hoping The two VFL boys fall to either Rookie or PSD.
That's a pretty good haul and probably better than I expected.
We lose the second high pick midfielder but add a lot in the mediums and talls.
The more I look at that list of possibles the more I think we should just go with that and ignore trading too much to get pick 2.
Giving up Travaglia, Shanahan, Faull for Smith is not worthwhile IMO.
Hahaha wasn’t far off in the end!So lets see how Danjam went>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

As per another couple posters, reckon 6&20 for 2 must be a decent chance. Trade 23 for a future first and we are left with 1,2,10,11,18,24 which would be very nice.
FOS
Jagga
Lindsay
Berry/Hotton
Whitlock
Faull
We have had 6-8 weeks of posting about this trade period on this site, not sure how how many pages but it would be 100s.
Can I just say to everyone who contributed to it that it has been awesome, I’ve loved it. Whether it be complaints or praise, doom or hope, logic or nonsense , calm or emotional it has all been fun.
And we have 8 picks in the first 24 in what is seen as one of the best drafts in a while.
Now for the next bit which is picking the players. I expect more of the same !
Go Tigers

There was plenty of others more upset than you...sometimes it's best to keep that powder dry till the end of anything (except game of thrones) to save a bit of egg on face.
BUT...at least you have outed yourself early and can move on...bloody emotional game this football sometimes
Would be boring if we all agreed on everything.
Bit of a difference with all those expansion kids going to plastic clubs with no history n no fans at Gee Whizz n Mould coast. 16 other clubs just lined up outside the front door waving shekels n inviting the kids to proper footy clubs. We might bounce along on our arses for a year or two, but there's a history, tradition n fan base to help us get through a couple of awkward years intact.
Lovely article summarising our trade period.

Like an expansion team: Tigers make history on day of sadness, rebirth
The player exodus means, like the former industrial, working-class suburb they hail from, Richmond will again be Struggletown. But on the measure of longer-term prosperity, the Tigers have absolutely cleaned up.
Willo is having withdrawal symptoms after they called for mercy on the USA election thread and binned it!!Stop throwing yourself under the bus Willo my man...

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is it all done now? Or can swaps still happen?
