Welcome to Richmond Chris Yarran

Memory says the Blooze didnt demand 2 2nd round picks. We valued him at about pick 20, which is what the blooze were happy to get. We had to give up 2 later 2nd rd pick to get pick 19.
if we had of offered pick 40, they might have been happy with that.
I reckon our trading strategy has been great since we got Houli and Grigg. some of the players we valued wrong- such as Yarran and Hampson, but our approach of putting a "fair" value on players and sticking to that value has generally worked for us.
Yarran becomes a Tiger
Richmond has sealed a trade for talented, versatile speedster Chris Yarran from Carlton.
I can see a way for the umpiring department to improve overnight
Are you saying it cost Richardson his job? Wouldn't surprise. It did seem a 'risk it for the biscuit' move at the time.
I've never heard jungle drums so loud as I did with Yarran BEFORE the trade was getting done. Some of the stories were astounding.
The two worst trades I've seen at Richmond both involved back flankers and picks around 20. Yaz and Jordy.

Spot on Scoop, if Yarran was fit and healthy he would of been in the Blues top 5 players and a wanted player. A case of take off head and put on pumpkin for the recruiting team at Tigerland.

Punt Road End. The best place to watch The Tiges.
And yet without Richardson it can be argued we don't get Emma Murray and consequently 3 premierships.
Am pretty sure that the club and certain individuals within the club were warned about Yarran. Some of his issues were public knowledge.
This is what led to the demise of Dan Richardson as head of football.
Dan Richardson’s public comments about the tiger army having to be “patient” didn’t win him any fans either. P!ssed me off mightily and I remember writing to the club to express my disgust.
The only other time I ever wrote to the club was when Benny Gale was appointed CEO. Told him how excited I was that he’d come home to lead the club. He responded too, God love him.

Pretty harsh on Yarran TBR. Yes he didn't play 300 games, but saying he was an absolute bust is incorrect IMO.
Yes, he had a lot of faults and I agree with a lot of what you said but when he was on, he was white hot. One of the few players who would have me genuinely worried when he had the ball.
Sometimes when you have a shot at the stumps, it hits. This time it didn't. It happens.
Agreed. He could have been such a good player if his head was right and could have made a great life for himself and his family.
It’s sad really what meth does to people, yes he could have stopped it happening but he’s just let it ruin his life like so many other people.
I never rated him as a player but I do know from those close to him that he felt left out in the cold and segregated by his mental health issues not being taken seriously.
Was told to harden up and stop being a sook when he shared his issues. Was shunned by the clique player group as a result.
Dan Richardson was a plonker
That's why he got the arse from Richmond, and that's why he didn't last at the bombers either
Player management does not equal football dep management
