Trade Week - Richmond Only
- Thread starter Smoking Aces
- Start date
Plus we could have traded our later picks and kept 41 as they are about same value for Brisbane which seems like a better deal for us I would have thought
Good to know. Rioli is a gun but we still tend to overrate our own. GC want him bad so they can overpay, fine by me.
But neither will I start screaming "disgusting trade" if we only got 6.
Seems that the same crowd that peed their pants over Dustin going to Gold Coast may
be the same ones that currently have wet panties??

Doesn't feel right at all - that is same as saying an influential proven, triple premiership player still in his prime, is worth the same as an untried 17 year old. Makes no sense.
Do not analyze this trade in isolation, wait until our final trading is done on Wednesday. If we can manage 6 selections in the first 25 and use one to trade into a future pick next year, it will be a great result.
I could see something that benefits both Richmond and GC working out to add something to Pick 6.
Just thinking that there must be a reason why we used 32 with Brisbane and not the later picks.
51 and 61 are 394 points.
If you ignore GC's 1st 4 picks (6, 13, 23 and 29) and they have 685 points, enough to match towards the back end of the 1st round.
Perhaps we will be asking for 23 or 29 and giving those picks back that we have in 51 and 61.
Adding 51 and 61 to GC's 41 and 50 would give them 1079 points, enough to match upto 1348 points or around Pick 11 for Lombard without taking a deficit. That would probably be around about maximising the use of your picks as its probably right around the point he will be bid on.
No point holding 32 for this, it wouldn't make a difference if we were getting 29 for example, so the above could be an option for getting that extra little bit on top of Pick 6.
Sure I'd prefer 23 for those later picks to be added to the Rioli deal but I reckon they know that like Pick 13, they will be getting much better offers than its worth with future picks, so would prefer to take that.
We tend to get caught up with whats in it for the Tigers vs other clubs, which is why we are Tigers, but when negotiating we need to understand it works both ways.
I reckon if we got 6 and 29 for Rioli, 51 and 61 we'll have done a good deal IMO. GC will then auction off 13 and 23 to the highest bidder as to them getting picks in next years draft is more important. They can't gain from the depth of this draft, but they can gain next year as they have several players towards the top of the draft, so picks at the moment are just a points commodity to them.

Spot on, regardless of what we do some will put a positive spin on everything even when it’s clear we haven’t made a smart move/decision.
yes and when they're right they claim to be some form of intelligence above humanity , yet they were only just towing the company line and correct by default. I wish they were right more often than wrong as we would all be happy.

But you're calling the trade disgusting in isolation. You've got no idea (and either do I) whether its part of a broader strategy, things are linked to it with the Lions, whether we already have a buyer for our other picks, what others were offering. It's why its best to wait until the dust settles and everything can be compared come Wednesday rather than having a hissy fit.
This deal was always going to happen.
some fans who pretend everything the club does is wrong. Lol
