Trade Week - Richmond Only

I still stand by it but the deal with north of 2 and f1 for 6 and 18 is a win win. Big improvement for north to pick up taru and trainor.

It is a decent deal but given it’s been reported for a while (saw it again the other day) it looks like we aren’t biting.
All the signals are that we want to keep pick 6 and get 2.
If we can get St Kilda’s pick 7 somehow it would be just as good because 7 and 6 would essentially be the same for us as we know North would pick Tauru at 6 and we would get the same player.
So do the deal with North and get 7 from St Kilda. Not sure how we do it though. Maybe the Port deal of 13 and 29 for 10 and offer 11 and 20 for 7?
That would leave us with 1,2,7,13,23,24,29 and north’s F1
In 2,7,13,29 and north’s F1
Out 6,10,11,18,20

Respect your work Stan but that's a no, no, no from me.

Think about it this way. The draft is set up to provide every club with one first-round pick.

Matched bids and compensation picks mean that some clubs are lucky enough to have two picks in the first round.

You might even have three picks if you get a first-rounder for a want-away player.

In seasons past, two or three picks in the first round was your club's ticket to a significant upgrade of the list.

We have an unprecedented seven picks in the first round of a draft that is considered to run deep into the 20s with high quality talent, plus we have the first pick of the second round.

I reckon you'd need to have your head read if you gave up even one of those picks unless it was for a significant climb up the order (or tipping a first-rounder into next season).

We currently have holes everywhere. We actually need eight quality players coming into the place.

This is a deep draft at the right time for us, and we have massive collateral.

I wouldn't imperil a single one of our picks without consequential upside.

Just a random thought. Rebuilds take time, and success isn't a straight line. Compared to the last rebuild, it's nice having justified confidence that the club knows exactly how to build a premiership list.

Going into this rebuild, there's a healthier psychology surrounding the club IMO

A couple of days later, he had organised a coffee catchup through mutual friends with Richmond's triple-premiership captain Trent Cotchin. It was his chance to pick the brain of someone who had been in his position before.

Also a by product of our decline.
Allows for an easy out.
If we were still competing, still "in the window" the go home factor is IMO non existent.
No September, so I want out.

Very happy to keep our picks as is.
No Deals.
Load up on these young Jets.

100%, we may be a little bruised from all of the changes we've endured over the last year... but we're proven. an interesting dichotomy.

I don’t think Stengle counts. Didn’t we offer peanuts compared to the crows. Don’t think go home factor contributed.

If he went home, he counts.
I’m not sure how much we offered him, but we traded him for p68 so I wouldn’t think he was considered too high a priority to keep.
It doesn’t matter what was offered, or the reasons. It was a factor. Go home, better contract, live with Eddie Betts. It was attractive to head home for him. I doubt he was interested in going anywhere else.

I do understand the go home factor, and have been surprised that up until now, we haven’t had too many wanting to go.
Jack Graham a couple of years ago dipped his toe in the water until port stiffed him. But seeing he’s headed west, I don’t believe the ggf was a priority. With quite a few WA’s on the list I thought one or two might have been tempted to go. Or does that make it easier to stay. Hard to say. Family always has a big pull.
