Richmond Trade Rumors

[Kellogscrunchynut]

It's easy to underestimate Chaplin seeing as he plays for Port but I reckon he could be a good fit for our grand team.

Quick stats on him:
Height: 195cm
Weight: 100 kg
Age: 26

So he's basically the same size as Rance and Grimey... Do you reckon we need that many big talls? I don't really know enough about him to judge him...

As long as Dimma knows enough about him it will be a great trade.

Where after Knights

Matt Thomas has been rumored to be at Richmond next year. (Could be our tagger)
Dom Tyson as well has been rumored but don't think it will happen

Does that mean we could get rid of Jacko? ::)

Trade him and graham to GWS for Tyson would be alright!

Haha yer I reckon Thomas is a better version of Jacko

Ok so looks like Chris Knights has officially walked away from the Crows and the tigers are firming as the new home for him and possibly his cross-town rival Troy Chaplin.

Will be easier for us to secure Knightsy than it will be for Chaplin by the looks of it-I doubt Port will be too keen to let Chaplin go so they might put up a fight and start a bidding war (because lets be honest they can't be spending too much on any of their current players...)

Some of these come as a bit of a surprise to me, I would question where some of these sort of facebook pages get there sources and information from. Richmond do however need another tall defender and a mid sized forward so I guess most of these fit that description.
It has been pretty public that Chaplin and knights are the 2 most likely to fill those positions but of that list theres certainly some others worth looking at

ftr that page is throwing up pretty much every rumour they see on bigfooty & has no credibility....

Yep +1
and apparently on Bigooty Post for Karnezis straight swap is almost a done deal  ::)

[AFEV]

Bigfooty and Facebook 2 of the least credible sources you'll ever come across.

SEN rounds out the trifecta of BS trade talk.

At least it'll give us a good laugh this October.

I was personally dissapointed when we got rid of Rodan in the first place but not sure that he fits in with us now 7 or so years down the track

yeah i agree, he was ok at richmond but i'm very surprised port hasn't given him more opportunity tbh...

he is a kind of bullish midfielder that can break packs and turn a game on its head, but i just don't see him fitting into our midfield any more... we have dusty now 8)
