Still not sure that his attitude is right. I have made mention of it in previous posts and then was told it was mentioned on the radio last night as well. Apparently, a lot of his problem is above the head. Perhaps a trade to Essendon might not be such a bad thing.

Tambling has improved enormously - has worked hard. He is quick, can kick a goal and his skills are way above many of our blokes. If we orchestrate a trade for him - I would be ok with that. If not - happy for us to plumb the depth of the draft looking for teenagers

He is pushing for Adelaide by all early reports.

How do we pay him. He would want 300k and we dont have that.

Missed this SainterK. Interesting. I heard 30 minutes ago he was pushing for Adelaide. Interesting that you heard he wanted the Saints. So is he going to GC instead..??

Trade Week is always amusing if nothing else.

May have room to pay him if we are planning on delisting a couple who would be on $100k+ per year.

Glad we are not actively involved.

Have plenty of young talent ALREADY AT the club ready to take the next step.

Need to continue stocking up on kids.

Yes I agree with this, but I worry with GC having all these early picks, by the time we get a pick there wont be much left.

Very deep draft I have heard ...

And let's face it, once you get past pick #10, you're gambling.

Look at Gwilt, S. Fisher, Gilbert, Stanley ... all taken 30+

Surely this is List Mis - management?
In the most compromised draft in years we are going to stock up with teenagers? In a normal draft we struggle to draft decent players yet now we are going young with our 1st pick being in the 20s? NO wonder Mathew Drain has been given the arse.

What would you...not have signed up all our guns like Roo and BJ??? I am sure that GWS would love to have either.

We have been in the last two GF's straight. It would be hard to not be at about 100% of your salary cap in such circumstances.

Given the bulge of players 26-31 on our list a few more kids will not go astray. Otherwise in 3-4 years we will be completely rooted.

The Cats with continued success battled salary cap problems and started losing players due to lack of dollars and opportunity.

Question is can we trade in better than our young emerging talent???

Who are you going to trade in?

Clarke is staying at the lions...and if he had gone it was to return to SA.

Hampson wants to go home to Adelaide. If you got him you would probably have to offload Ben.

Legendary · Post: # 1011785Post **Legendary** » Wed 06 Oct 2010 3:14pm

Need to draft another young ruckman IMO and develop him.

I reckon between Kosi, Ben and Gardiner, with Blake and Pattison as backup, we don't need a mature age ruck.

May see a lot of clubs, including StKilda drafting players out of VFL, SANFL , WAFL this seaosn, especially after round 1. Plenty of players not draftedin last couple yeras go there and their bodies mature and then are better prospects.

Even our list Fisher, Jones, Stanely cam from SANFL or WAFL and have / are developing nicely. There will be plenty more out there also may just take a little longer.

the other thingis Stkilda have drafted a lot of young 18 years olds/ 17 year olds in last couple years so they will take a little longer.

No reason IMO why Steven, Stanley, Miles, Simpkins cannot be the next Mccaffer, Blair, Brown, etc in 2011.

For the second time in two years we've been defeated in a Grand Final by a team with very few other-club players. And how did our foreign legion stand up when the chips were down? Pretty poorly, actually.

Our best across the finals were homegrown: Goddard, Hayes, Riewoldt, Gwilt, Fisher, Gilbert.

So let's not recruit any more mercenaries and develop our own stars.

fugazi · Post: # 1011808Post **fugazi** » Wed 06 Oct 2010 3:39pm

wonder if Bakes will go, along with King, Lovett...surely would open a bit of room for a player.

Bakes is on the veterans list, so doubt he would open up much space at all.

i'm not saying that we want/ can afford or will get him. i'm just saying the culture at richmond is so unbelievably poor and that he's not a bad player.

What has any of that got to do with Yippers post and my reply?

ChicagoSaint · Wed 06 Oct 2010 3:47pm

FWIW he wouldn't be wanting 300k

saintspremiers · Wed 06 Oct 2010 3:51pm

how many are we likely to clean out this year?

I hope at least 7 or 8

If we dont get rid of our "bottom 6" how are we going to improve?
