Richmond Offseason/Preseason Megathread 2015/2016

Nige · September 08, 2015, 11:47:09 AM

~~For all the trades, delistings, retirements, other stuff and doging about nobody wanting to come to a club on the up. Treloar pls. :P~~

Now for all the draft and pre-season stuff!

Yes Treloar for sure but Yarran I don't want to hear a word about this under achieving sook coming to the club unless we can pick him up in draft for nothing , any draft picks wasted on this guy is going backwards I'm sure others will disagree :P

Nige · September 08, 2015, 05:05:28 PM

Yarran's still contracted so we'll have to trade for him.

Treloar would be nice and it seems we're in the box seat if the Pies don't get him.

We're also apparently interested in Kreuzer, though I'm not his biggest fan so I'm not that keen on him.

Yarran playing poor in a poor club. He is a jet when they are playing well and I think he would slot in nicely and give us a bit of pace. Wouldn't give up a first rounder for him though.

Kreuz is a gun but massive gamble with his injury history.

Treloar is the must get. Would also be keen on Bennell.

Looks as though Treloar has nominated the filth as his club of choice. We will probably miss out.

I think Yarran would do well in a good side as said above. A forward line of Riewoldt, Vickery, Deledio, Lennon, Edwards & Yarran would be a headache for opposition coaches, with Dusty spending time there aswell.

Not a fan of Kreuzer, we don't need him.

I read we are also looking at Jack Redden.

Could have at least waited till the end of the week for this thread :p

Meh.

The Norf fans already made this joke in their board. :P

Couldn't care less tbh, nothing wrong with a creating a thread to house discussion. It can sit idle for a couple of weeks. 8)

Maric is 30 next year, Hampson is a gap filler but will never be a number 1 ruckman and Ivan Soldo is the only other ruckman on our list who doesn't fill me with a huge amount of confidence.
Only thing that puts me off Kreuzer is his body and the deal that would be required to get him.
Think we're better off getting mid with our money

Nige · September 09, 2015, 07:49:11 PM

We're looking at Aish now.

Sounds like we're quite keen on Yarran now, I'd expect him to join us at this rate.

Reports on twitter about a knee injury at training. Early suggestions were Cotchin but sounds like it was Chris Knights

I'd be shattered either way.

If it is Knights, that's so unlucky. He's just retired and can't even train/play out his last few weeks with the club. Life isn't fair.

Ricochet · September 10, 2015, 01:12:55 PM

Yeh confirmed as Knights, poor bloke

quinny88 · September 13, 2015, 11:37:52 PM

First order of business tomorrow morning.
Get on the phone.
Make an offer to an A grade player that they can't refuse (Treloar or Bennell)
Get Chris Yarran
Get a specialised tackling coach (we are by far the worst in the league in this area)
And while you're at it, go kidnap Eddie Betts because we are desperate for a small forward

Toga · September 13, 2015, 11:40:13 PM

Need another A-grade midfielder (Treloar, Bennell, Redden) or take a punt on an Aish type.

Need a small forward - look at someone like Matera from the Gold Coast.

I'm not interested in Aish in the slightest. We need someone ready made imo.
Would definitely take Matera.
