Richmond Contracts/Trading/Drafting and Pre-Season Discussion Thread!

Considering we have Orren, I wouldn't be surprised if we kept him around for another year and made a play for Longer. However, if we went for Jolly, you'd think we'd move Orren on...

I know I'm missing somebody... I'd be damned if I could remember who.

Matt Rosa?

Matt Rosa?

Has he been rumoured? Not him, still blank. Maybe there wasn't and my mind's just messing with me...

Might have been Karnezis actually.

[Kellogscrunchynut]

Weren't we linked with Karnezis last post season? looked really good in the pre season might be a good trade.

Hopefully this is true
@theafloffseason: BREAKING NEWS

Dustin Martin has accepted a new deal to remain with the Richmond Football Club.

Details to follow

I can confirm this to be true. Will be announced tommorow

Not being a pot stirrer but lol :( i'm shattered with todayd news and i'm sure the news would surprise you guys?

Plenty of intrigue surrounds just what is going to become of Dustin Martin after the tough midfielder told the Tigers he would be considering rival offers. Talks between Martin's management and the Tigers have broken down with the Martin party wanting more than the club is willing to offer. What happens now? Well, the Tigers could try and reach a deal with a club - Melbourne and Greater Western Sydney have been reported to be interested, with the Demons holding a very tradeable draft pick No.2 - so they don't lose him for nothing. Otherwise, Martin could walk out and whack a price on his head so he can get to the club he wants to be at or nominate for the pre-season draft where the Giants have the first selection. Or, he could remain in yellow and black next year if all this amounts to nothing. Then there's Reece Conca, who remains out of contract with Fremantle interested in the West Australian midfielder. The Tigers need a ruckman and another defender wouldn't hurt, but midfield stocks will become more important if Martin and Conca leave, given Shane Tuck has already retired

Pretty fair assessment I think, thoughts?

I said it to Toga yesterday, maybe the Tiges should make a play for Jeremy Laidler?

[Toga]

Tbh I think Dusty's dilemma boils down to a dumb kid under the poor guidance of a d!ckhead manager in Ralph Carr (who is more involved with Show Biz).

Will be interesting to see whether he does get anything near the $$ he's asking for, and what will happen if/when he doesn't get an offer - does he wake up to the light, sack Carr & make a formal apology to the club & its supporters?

Will be interesting to see what eventuates.

Longer + Briabane's first pick wouldn't be so bad, we need a replacement for Maric soon, his groins are flowered!

Fully agree, I'd be happy to do it.

[Toga]

What's Brisbane's first pick? #7?

Then we could on-trade a first-rounder for Adams?

[Ringo]

I would not give up our first round pick with Longer. Is Martin worth 2 first round picks do not think so. (Longer was taken with pick 8 in 2011 draft,) Would be happy with 2nd Round Pick.

I understand Ringo, but you're up against GWS and Melbourne to sign him, who all have better draft picks. Don't forget Longer wants to go home too.

Maybe if we get Ports Round 11 pick for Polec that may be enough.

[Kellogscrunchynut]

Doubt Polec would be worth a first round pick, given that he hasn't really taken off.
