Title: Richmond 2015
Post by: quinny88 on June 15, 2014, 12:46:40 AM
We didn't wanna play finals in 2014 anyway right?  8)

So I know what we say means nothing but what would you guys like to see going into 2015?
Delistings, trades, recruits etc.

For me this season has pointed out some major deficiencies.

We desperately need:
1. A gun small forward - tackles, pressures, quick, kicks goals (e.g ballantyne, walters, rioli)

2. A secondary key forward - hate him or love him, jack like Richo before him, is having to do to much on his own. Can't be expected to kick a bag every week. Either one of Vickery, Griffiths or McBean step up and become a gun or we need to source one elsewhere.

3. A bonified A grade midfielder. We have a lot of mids with big potential but they are all kids. Cotchin, Martin, Conca, Ellis, Vlastuin, Miles I'm sure will make a strong midfield for the next 10 years but we need someone there now that is developed and can set the tone. Not necessarily an older player but at least someone that is a proven gun that you know will add to our group and speed up the development of the others. We apparently have a mountain of cash so throw everything at a big name (fyfe or danger ;) )

4. Pace. Doesn't have to be quality. Port identified that they needed pace and went after fringe players Matty white and Polec to fill that void for little cost. They have a specific role and in both cases it has worked well.

Time to go?
Newy you are a club legend but probably playing his last season and will retire.
King? Would encourage him to go around again if we can't get the small forward we need. I know there are mixed views on him but when he is fit his tackling and pressure inside 50 is huge.
Az Edwards. 30 years old now, been a journeyman his whole career and has played a role for us but probably won't get an opportunity next year and should retire.
Stephenson will probably retire.

Delist/trade?
They need to make a decision on what they want our forward line to look like. Vickery, Griffiths, McBean, Elton are all VFL players or sub standard AFL players. Something's gotta give. McBean is a long term project. Elton is big and seasoned enough that he needs to be played or cut. Vickery and Griffiths are 50/50. One of them needs to go to the next level. At the moment my money's on Griffiths being that guy. A shame considering Vickery is a top 10 draft pick. Would ditch Elton, persist with McBean and give Vickery and Griffiths one more year to battle it out before moving 1 on.

Grigg. Gone. That is all.

Batchelor, Dea? Make a decision.

Foley? Love the little bloke but use him as trade bait while he has some sort of currency.
Same for Titch for mine. Out of contract and I wouldn't bother with a new one. Doesn't impact games enough, I would look to trade

Our team isn't stuffed. Our year has been a nightmare but I still maintain there is upside in almost all of our players. Very few old enough to be at their peak. Not losing irreplaceable veterans in the near future like other teams. Were in a good position, we just need to address a few things, top up our list and attack 2015.

Another bonus is that we are looking at a nice high draft pick this year :P

I know he isn't a freak small forward but would you guys be interested in Garlett?

He is only 24, what would you offer?
Title: Re: Richmond 2015
Post by: Nige on June 15, 2014, 10:31:07 AM
I'll address each point.

1. Yeah, a dangerous small forward is key. There aren't too many available from other clubs I don't think. I'd like to see us pick up either Christian Petracca (more of a medium forward) or Jarrod Pickett (can play defense also, bit like Impey) for this reason and break away from the mold of players we've drafted recently.

2. Given up Ty, but I still have hope that Griff or McBean can be the messiah. Although, the end of the year draft is a strong KPP draft a good one should be up for grabs with our pick (likely, 6, 7 or 8).

3. We have cash and we need somebody solid. Nobody second tier will do. We have to throw a bit at somebody like Fyfe (unlikely) but it needs to be done because it's a clear something we lack.

4. We don't have too many pacy guys on our list and as said above, I'd like us to grab Jarrod Pickett, he's so exciting and quick.

Personally wouldn't want him, all I see is him being another Nahas.




Newy and Push-Up should retire.

Az is so handy for us, but come next year with another pre-season in Beatle, we won't need him.

Orren probably needs to go too, he's purely insurance but he's been sensational for the VFL team (get him of our list but let him continue to play for the VFL side).




Foley has the smallest bit of currency and should be used as such even though he's been good lately.

Get rid of Elton and trade Vickery to somebody... anybody. Persist with McBean and Griffiths and recruit another player from this year's draft to keep the stocks decent.

I love how Shaun Grigg can accumulate, but that's it. For that reason, get rid of him. Batchelor wasn't bad on the weekend, but I prefer Dea. A few clubs could potentially use somebody like Batch though.

Titch is an interesting one, being out on contract he'd probably be somebody I'd say we should move on but if he had another year on his contract I'd let him try and fight for his spot. We need to replace him with similar player, just with better ability, if possible.




Not sure all of that's going to be addressed this off-season, but I'd like to see Dimma at least do half of that at the very least.

Terry Wallace & Mark Robinson both seemed to think that we're going after Jeremy Cameron with our cap space on SEN before the game yesterday.

I personally wouldn't mind if we went after Luke Parker, Nat Fyfe (probably no chance though) or Dylan Shiel.

You have to remember also that GWS were planning on giving Franklin close to a million a year (or over i cant remember)

They used about 500k on Mumford and Lamb but they still have a lot of money to protect Cameron from leaving.

Patton probably not
Title: Re: Richmond 2015

Yeah good point, I'd prefer Cameron over Patton but I'd be fine with Patton. Hope he doesn't get injured though.

Wouldn't wanna overpay for him.
Title: Re: Richmond 2015
Post by: Toga on June 15, 2014, 04:59:43 PM
Don't have time right now to go through all my thoughts but yeah think you're on the right track quinny.

A small forward, and another tall target up forwards should definitely be on the agenda - I mentioned in another thread, GWS (and to a lesser extent GC) are going to be a gold mine for recruiters in the next few years for sure. Guys like Devon Smith and Jonathon Patton should be seriously looked at by our recruiters as guys that could fill needs in our team that might look at returning home to Victoria. Another bloke that I like on GWS list is Will Hoskin-Elliot, a very high draft pick who's been given limited opportunities, but has skills and pace to burn, which as you've said is an obvious deficiency in our list at the moment.

Yeah no doubt they will be desperate to keep him but at the end of the day they cant hold Boyd, Patton and Cameron forever and there has been a lot of talk of Cameron wanting to come home. He will be looking for big bucks which would free up GWS and they could use to get a quality defender (frawley maybe?) which they desperately need

I think we can keep them all for a bit longer.

Cameron's contracted till the end of 2015 eitherway though, so chill the flower out guys :P

And we actually don't need a quality defender- we have a fair few in Davis, Mohr, Haynes, Hampton, Kennedy etc...

Our two floggings came from when we didn't have any of our top 3 tall backs and subsequently had key forwards kicking like 70 points by themselves.  Apart from those two games we've actually performed reasonably well this season.

As I said though, gws have no intention of trading cameron, and he's contracted till the end of next season, so you guys might want to find a short term option in the mean time :P

Haha he is but he himself is the one putting contract talks on hold. GWS have been trying to sign him on a long term deal all year.
They don't have to make any moves as he is contracted until the end of next year. But if he's made the decision that he's going and they are to stubborn to get a deal done then he will just enter draft

That's just common sense from his point of view. Frankly, he's not going to have a great idea of what he's worth/ what he should be getting from the giants until he hears what other clubs are going to be paying for him, which isn't going to happen if he signs right now.

Like, the media's been saying some clubs will pay a million a year for him, but in reality when they're actually making the offers, they might be only willing to part with like 800k/ year

Zip, that's what his management is for. They will be telling him he's worth a mill a year. I don't think he is personally, at the end of the day he's still unproven despite the flying start to his career.

Still, if he can get that and go home (if he even really does want to go home) then it's a damn good deal for the kid.

Personally would prefer richmond to throw a million at fyfe or danger
Title: Re: Richmond 2015
Post by: Toga on June 16, 2014, 05:02:07 PM
I'd prefer a Fyfe/Danger type as well to be honest, if we were going after a key forward from somewhere I'd much rather Patton I think, as he wouldn't be demanding anywhere near as much as Cameron (at this stage anyway).

Also, I really like Titch Edwards and hope we retain him :P Would be disappointed if we let him go.

A quick look through free agency has Ben Reid and Westhoff that you could say would suit you at a stretch.

I didn't think he was a big ball winner, more the way he uses it cuts open the opposition.

They could be investigating every Victorian club.
That's not to say that they are or that any of them will have anything to answer to.
The AFL had already previously cleared the other clubs so I doubt there will be anything in it

Old and useless? First game back after an Achilles & Hamstring injury.. Pleaseeeeeee.

26 touches, 6 tackles & 6 clearances.  8)

Better than anything any Richmond midfielder has done.

How's Cotchin going? :P

Not just what I think. I think the broad view is that Judd will hang up the boots at the end of the year. Injuries getting the better of him, has a young family, playing in a team with a few years until they return to a premiership window, has done everything there is to do in football.

Wouldn't mind me some Treloar or Shiel either. However the more likely thing we're gonna do is pick off some of the talented youngsters they have to get rid of as they cut down their list, someone like a Whiley.
