Trade Week - Richmond Only
- Thread starter Smoking Aces
- Start date
To work under Balme and hopefully learn how to land a big fish. He’s still failed and hasn’t won a final yet without Balme.As a result, Dan Richardson will now become General Manager – Football Talent, working more closely with the head of list management and recruiting, Blair Hartley, on the Club’s list management strategy. The role will oversee all player contracting, management of the Club’s TPP program, player welfare, list management and recruiting, and the development of the Club’s Next Generation Academy.
“Dan will report into Neil, but both will be a part of the Club’s executive team, giving football a more prominent voice in the day-to-day running of the business.”
Not sure how you came to the conclusion that because of Balme we landed Prestia etc.All within 2 weeks.What an incredible man.What were we employing Blair for?
Laugh all you like, but results don’t lie.That was Balme’s work.
No Hartley mentioned

He's 'incredibly incompetent' 'has no runs on the board' 'has never completed a 'big' trade' and has 'bent over' on this one, but he is most definitely not a moron and nobody thinks/ and or said that. ok got it. Apologies for the strawman I created.We had total control of this trade period was my point before we entered the draft. It’s crazy how people just make stuff up. Brisbane needed us to trade with badly and Blair bent over.
and as I've said repeatedly, if Blair is that incompetent and hasn't got 1 good trade over the line, he's been allowed to stay in his job a long time, doesn't that make Gale, Balme and Livingstones analysis of his position poor and would make them poor administrators? I mean good administrators would move on poor operators, especially those that need 1 of your bosses to get the best players over the line as you just aren't that good.
If we do get 10,11, 18, for Baker and Bolton. get the deal done quickly it provides all sorts of options.
Rioli for 6 and 23. that is fair others disagree. Six is a pick we really want and need. To walk away from this draft without this early pick will be criminal.
We caved in no doubt about it simply put it was not a good trade. So many clubs would have come hunting for them on draft night.
Morons well im one who has been very even handed in what i think each trade is worth but at the end of the day a poor trade is a poor trade and people can make all the excuses they want.

From what i can gather and most things i have read this draft pick 32 is similar to pick 20 in any other draft.

Here we go again, another poster introducing facts into a discussion.
This site is going south.
We have to stick with speculation and supposition please.
Take it to the ListManagement thread if all you want to is point score.As a result, Dan Richardson will now become General Manager – Football Talent, working more closely with the head of list management and recruiting, Blair Hartley, on the Club’s list management strategy.

Let them go, they’re just after a bite.That was Balme’s work.

If we didn't recontract Balta by Round 3 next year, Cornes would be saying how irresponsible of us to risk losing him. That's his modus operandi.
Get off your high horse.
All this is just based on assumptions on both sides.
Logic tells me Blair wouldn't accepted such a deal if he knew 20 was ours 100%
Another year like this year and it will be almost a certainty.
As I was once told, it’s better than flogging a dead one
Both sides of what?
You wouldn’t know logic if it kicked you in the kneecap. And you don’t know what Blair was thinking.
Anyway. Move on.
OK, I think the death spiral of whether we traded too much for pick 20 can stop, as can the discussion really Blair's competence or lack of.
I think it's well and truly past its shelf life and is a circular conversation by all (including me) - we've all got our opinions and they aren't going to change one way or the other. There's a few folks sounding tired of the 25th iteration of the conversation so we don't need 26.
Let's get back to talking about the rest of the trade week.
I'll prune any unnecessary point scoring or trolling so we can leave the poor dead horse where it lays. Hope that can help bring the enjoyment levels up again.

I’d still like to know who selected Brown in stead of JVR?OK, I think the death spiral of whether we traded too much for pick 20 can stop, as can the discussion really Blair's competence or lack of.
