Just a thought. Look at what Hay got Hawthorn this year. Why don't we do a similar thing next year and plan to offer up a name player for lowish first and second round draft picks! Yes clubs will be more reticent next year but a good player is still a good player, whatever we do prise out of them will be very valuable!

The objective of course is to build a team around Lids/Bling/Cogs our 24 and less age group. I think Hawthorn have done very well and will have a very large crop of quality young players improving together. Would love to see that at Richmond.

No I don't like seeing the Richmond "family" broken up anymore than Rosy does but Hawthorn's strategy is instructive. After Hay does a knee again I reckon we could pretty much get anything the Roos/Freo have got for *smile* for instance. They seem to be the soft touches at the moment.
 
It all depends on whether a player has a good year or not. I can't believe that the Bulldogs were stupid enough to pay what they did for Rawlings and now North have fallen for the same trick!

Yet the Roos gained in the Rawlings deal, their draft pick went up 3 spots & half of his salary is to be payed by the Doggies. Only loser there is the Doggies.
 
We would have to give up a deledio next year to prize a 1st rnd pick from a club.

True but I wasn't aiming so high - a top ten pick in next years draft will be very, very valuable.

First pick would be outstanding of course but why would you ever give up Lids. He is the best No. 1 on paper for many years. Now if offered the No 1, 2 and 3 picks then maybe you would think about it!
 
When a player wants to go and can't be talked out of it there are only two choices, find a suitable trade with the club that he wants or PSD. The Bulldogs meddled where they shouldn't have and have paid big time for it. He will probably pull his finger out now and get fit to try to show everyone what he could do. Hawthorn, Essendon, Richmond and now the Kangas are all winners out of this but the Bulldogs have been bitten big time.

They have ended up losing Browny for next to nothing. Rawlings has even taken the money they would have paid if Brown had stayed.

Don't expect this to happen again with Eade there.
 
I don't want to seem negative, but there is a real chance that Richmond may get those two early draft picks just by finishing near the ladder bottom.

As for following the model of Hawthorn and Jonathon Hay, the Squawks simply follwed the GM, Ottens model from 2004. Nothing new in what is going on here.
 
In regard to the Rawlings deal imo the big winners were Ess.

Sheedy came up with the plan to railroad Rawlings into going to the Dogs against his will by getting the Dogs to trade pick 6 for an unknown, which was then used by the Hawks to trade for Jacobs. Hawthorn agreed to force Rawlings to go into the preseason rather than trade him for his true value.

The whole deal stunk the roof off and the AFL did zip. Typical Sheedy.Typical Demetriou.Shame on the Hawks.Shame also on the Dogs & pherhaps there is more than a little justice in their present situation.

With the same old tired hacks going around next year they surely will finish down the last few positions next year. :-\

Can you believe Rawlings will be getting $600,000 next year.
He probably hasn't stopped laughing.

Like you I suspect, I gasped when I read that!!!!!! Perhaps that's why he's over at Las Vegas as we speak, and you and I are here typing on the Net :hihi

How much is a fair price for a top string player, ie Hird or Carey at their peak, who are capable of winning a game or premiership off their own boot.

A top 10 pick is a 1st rounder!
