Rubbish generalisation

I've worked for billionaires.

They get to where they are because they build talent. They recognise you need talent around you.

Every recycled hack every young un missed is another step backwards for this club which can't have too many more

Trigg talks about how difficult things are due to our player contracts...

Um, Mick Malthouse brought that up in his FIRST month at Carlton before he entered his first draft with us.

Daisy was signed between these two identical comments.

Anything been done to change anything?

The Way things are going, I might get a 4 year Contract as a homeless begger, to work just in front of the Club office and the Pokies... that might Generate some good Revenue for the Club....

You'd be the perfect front of house man IMO.

You could also be in Charge of our random Capitalisation department.

Agree. I would be interested to know who's idea and who instigated trading pick 7 for Jaksch/Whiley?

Imagine having Pick 7, 19, 28, 46 (Jones), 60 & 63 and then picking Ahern, LaVerde, Howe, Gregson, Sinclair, Smith. That is what can happen in one draft. Still specualtive but would we feel a lot better about our list and it's future then?

I would be the Perfect Man to Capitilize on the stuff ups of this current useless Board in Charge!!

True albeit speculative. That's a fair few picks.

If Jaksch really wanted to come to us I'm sure we could have paid a pick 28 or PSD...but then again I'm being speculative.

Is pick 7 worth a third tall? My concern is I don't see him as a key position player, too skinny and I can't see him getting bigger. We could of had Ahern Duggan Cockatoo Ellis or Garlett?

Ablett's move to GC wasn't a trade. As it was the AFL dudded the Cats massively with the compensation.

If we'd finished bottom in 2007 we'd have held all the cards and could be as aggressive as many wanted us to be.

As it was Richmond still had pick 1 in the pre-season draft and had Judd departed the Eagles for nowt - i can't imagine the Eagles would've allowed that, nor would Judd have left in such circumstances - Richmond would've gladly met any and all demands.

The issue is, had we screwed the Eagles over we'd have entered Collingwood and Essendon** territory in terms of trading. No one would want to deal with us and would hold a grudge over the fact we got a 'bargain' with Judd. Everyone would want their pound of flesh in negotiating with us and the conversation would always go back to,"yeah, but you screwed the Eagles."

We had to do the right thing and we did. Fair trade for all involved, really.
