Pick 1 from the Gold Coast for Andrew Raines ? I'd take it in a heartbeat Rosy !!

I'm sure most people would if it was on offer but I'm certainly not expecting it to be.  I just don't get how anyone would expect to get that when they think Andrew isn't much value as a Tiger. 

Edit-I read blx's post wrong sorry...He actually said a pick or 2, not pick 1 or 2 as I read it while talking on the phone.  I have the same opinion about trading players though.  People always want good trades for players they don't think have much value in our team.  It doesn't often happen that way.

Apart from Ottens, who was the last player we were able to trade?
 
Raines does have deficiencies but he would probably be in Richmond's best 22 .

The problem with Raines at Richmond is that we have too many like him - high endevour, poor skills. If the team is to move forward, we have to replace some of these players with better skilled types. Unlike others on our list, Raines may still have some trade value.
