The Merkin does it again.And it's going home. Frankly, it's a better deal than he could have imagined possible. It's actually unbelievable, it's not like he's even a sure thing to be a consistently selected AFL player.

I think you mean 1st rounder for Ellis and we got a 2nd instead. Motlop got a 1st.
It’s staggering.It's actually unbelievable, it's not like he's even a sure thing to be a consistently selected AFL player.
Might end up being a steal yet. Only time will tell how Mabs & CJ turn out at their new clubs.It’s staggering.
I get it when successful clubs start loving the smell of their own farts and think they can turn everything into gold because of their ‘culture’ and ‘coaches’ and whatnot, but this is in another dimension.
I want to play poker with whom ever at GC made this deal.
Gold Coast got an end of 1st round pick (19), for a 33 year old Gary Ablett FFS.Geelong got a first round draft pick for Motlop? FFS now I am convinced we were ripped off over Ellis.

Maybe Blamey shot himself and thus Richmond in the foot when he criticized decision at the time and Ellis was the AFL payback
Richmond football boss Neil Balme has questioned the AFL's free agency compensation method which paved the way for Gary Ablett's trade to Geelong.

It might do, but 4 years of contract andcap space is a brave way to find out.Might end up being a steal yet. Only time will tell how Mabs & CJ turn out at their new clubs.
That would be a great result imoRory Atkins 4 years @$400k got a end of 2nd round pick
thinking same pick #37/#38
It's Richmond we're talking about this time. We'll be lucky to scrape in with an end of third round pick from Gilligan's mate SHocking. Parting gift before he takes over at Geelold.Rory Atkins 4 years @$400k got a end of 2nd round pick
thinking same pick #37/#38
My notes
Is this correct? What compo could we reasonably expect for Mabs?
