Richo for Judd

The thread is guff because the swap simply will not happen.
Why would they take Richo? Why would they let Judd go?
Re: Leave the big fella alone
Well said Rosy. Have those even contemplating such a move, know that Richo has loyalty emblazoned on his forehead.

Hypothetical I know, but...
Would you do the trade if you knew Judd was going to help us make the Finals next year and win us a flag.
Would Richo be untouchable at the cost of a flag next year?
Would you put player loyalty before a Flag?
Give a serious answer rather than the derision that is too easy a cop out.

I've thought about this answer for several days now, and have absorbed everyone's opinion.
I've come to the conlcusion that losing Richo for Judd will weaken our forward line, and definelty strengthen our midfield. However, if the RFC had a bloody CHF to rely on, I would without hesitation swap the two.
As the old cliche goes, no individual is bigger than any club, no matter how big the players heart is. Let's remember, that 90% of football is played above the shoulders, and not with the heart.

The silence was deafening.
Of course the trade is fanciful. Of course it is never going to happen.
But...
Nobody yet has said they would not swap Richo for a Flag. Forget the Judd vs Richo aspect, is the individual greater than the club?
It is a discussion worth having. One of the few, to my knowledge, that examines our basic beliefs.
I would like those that attacked the post with comments such as "fanciful" or "guff" or "ridiculous" or "silly" or "sheer lunacy" or "we have a late nomination for Tool of the Year......" or "absurd" or "crap like this" to answer the question honestly.

This is bordering on the augumentative method of reifying - where one takes
as a concrete fact that swapping a Judd for a Richo would in fact give us a flag.
No one knows the answer to that.
The question that should first be asked - is 'Would swapping Judd and Richo give
us a flag?'. Once that is answered, the actual question asked
above can be contemplated.
