2018 Off Season (list changes and trade rumours)

[LaHug]

If I'm Richmond, I'd hard-balling Adelaide because they've come out and said they'll hard-ball other clubs. But maybe that's because I'm a vindictive asshole.

Adelaide has laughed off suggestions Brad Crouch would be traded

And to add on to this, glad this is the end of this rubbish

Brad Crouch’s manager has revealed Richmond enquired about the Adelaide midfielder “out of courtesy”.

Crouch was linked to the Tigers, which forced the conversation to occur, but the speculation was quickly watered down.

“They (Richmond) called out of courtesy because his name (Crouch) was linked with them…they didn’t initiate any conversation,” Alex McDonald told SEN Breakfast.

“He is contracted for another couple years. I’ve been in contact with the club (Adelaide), everyone is fine there.

“I think what happens at this time of year as we all know is they are players who have been starved of opportunity, been injured, or there’s a go-home factor.

“Sometimes there is a nice fit, players names pop up from time to time and they get spoken about.

“To the best of my knowledge, Brad is not going anywhere.

“He is really happy over there, lives with his brother, really excited about next year.”

Seems every day the rumours are getting stronger. All but confirmed he'll be off to the Lions.

My guess is that he is waiting until the B&F on saturday night to announce it officially.

When's the thread, "Freo sign Conca" going to be created?  Asking for a friend who's patiently waiting.

Leave this one here for our Richmond fans. The man has a point and for the AFL to be consistent they’d probably have to follow this path.



Not that consistency has ever mattered to the AFL

Surely nobody wants the AFL to ban anyone for getting a free agent though? They made a huge error banning the Swans and they only did so because they were annoyed that Buddy didn't go to GWS in the same way GAJ went to GC.

I also don't think Pridham was being serious when he suggested a Richmond trading ban.

Gee the Melbourne Media do not give up do they:
