2016 Silly Season, Trades and Rumours and utter BS

[bennymacca]

RICHMOND has boosted its ruck stocks with Toby Nankervis joining the club from the Sydney Swans.

The Tigers gave up a third-round pick (currently No.46) in exchange for the big Swan.

This actually seems like a win for the tiges

Richmond has released a statement from list manager Dan Richardson after securing Dion Prestia on a five-year contract.

The Tigers thanked Gold Coast and Prestia's manager, Marty Pask, for getting the deal done.

"We identified Dion earlier this year as a player that we wanted at our football club, he’s a power runner, highly competitive and impacts games significantly," Richardson said.

"Dion’s management made it clear to us that he was keen to return to Victoria to be closer to his family, and we’re really pleased for our Club that he chose Richmond as his preferred destination.

"At 24 years of age, Dion has many years of good football ahead of him, he’s also a person of great character, and being vice-captain at the Gold Coast Suns, he has great leadership qualities also."

5 year deal then, thoughts @Dutchy ?

Unbelievable,,,,, 22 games in last 2 years, 8 goals and one Brownlow vote....here you go here is 5 years and top $

You would have thought if any club had learnt about long term deals Richmond would be the one....

Bar the Dimma debacle who else have we given long term deals to that have backfired?

[Grenville]

Plough Wallace?

Oh dear me please Sydney shark O'Meara. Would be hilarious after all the hawks have done to move the pieces around.

Gaspar. Resigning Houli Maric Conca and Grigg sums up where you are at.

I love how people in the media are saying Richmond finally landed a big fish. He's not. He's a good player but not a star.

I'll give you Wallace, but no issues with our Lids contract. He wants out for success & the bloke deserves it. We will get something back for him so no dramas there.

Tuohy + Carlton's 2017 second for Smedts and Geelong's 2017 first.

Geelong really all in now aren't they? Giving up a 1st rounder for Touhy.

Yep. About pick 15 at the end of the day. And Gibbs will be pick 13 and maybe an add on. Just goes to show you that its pointless comparing deals from trade to trade let alone year to year.

Probably also shows the difference in trade value between a player who 'wants out' and a player who is chased by another club.

You could make an argument that the value between the two is to great.

Yep, had to request special permission from the AFL to get the trade done as they now have traded their first out 3 years in a row. They now have to somehow get 2 first round picks at the next draft or face sanctions
