Dustin Martin is Chopsticking with Richmond

Josh Kelly!

This * 10.

Kelly slots perfectly into our age profile alongside Zmerrett(played tac together), Parish, McGrath and Hepp to form the perfect premiership quality midfield group.

Fyfe will be too expensive and probably a touch too old by the time we have a good mid group together.

Josh Kelly will be pricy, but he wont be 1.2M pricy and his asking salary end of next year will probably go hand in hand with a pay rise for some of our other young guys as we get a few retirements.

In reality Kelly is more pricey because we have to give up something on the trade table while Fyfe can be signed as a free agent.

Sporting news is the site run by a player management agency so grain of salt to be taken

But I also have no doubt weā€™d be angling for someone. We have the salary cap for it. And so many players contracts coming up at end of year.

Watson would be on $800k himself

Fark Martin. Get Fyfe.

Harves would love to pull the rug out from under Lyon.

Plus 1 for going a young gun rather than Fyfe/Martin

If we end up with a first round pick in the 8-12 range id be happy to give that up for a Kelly/Sheil or other young GC/GWS young gun.

Thereā€™s 0 chance of Freo not matching a bid for Fyfe. If he leaves itā€™ll be like the Adelaide/Geelong trade for Dangerfield.

What if someone offers up a Buddyesque contract?

Lyon out LBW, 434 ahead.

Theyā€™ve bowled Sharma for 3 overs this innings. Not sure why you even bother playing him.

Too many threads open at once hey Crazy?

Fyfe was at Fremantle when Harvey was coach wasnā€™t he? A midfield of Fyfe,Parish,Zerret,Heppel ā– ā– ā– ā–  get it done EFC.

Iā€™m with Speedy Gonzales on this we are definitely targeting some one big just a matter of who. Wouldnā€™t be surprised if we have another crack at Martin he did meet up with Bomber for chat before he stayed at Richmond a few years ago,

North offering $1m/year over 5-6 years.

Didnā€™t realise he was only 25. Want.

North going the St Kilda route of chasing everyone just to get a headline.

seriously, it would be good to land a big name target for once.

I heard North were prepared to offer $100k pa over and above any other clubā€™s offer.

Geez Iā€™m not sure. Yeah he can play, but duck me, surely thereā€™s is another target thatā€™s almost as good but less of a kn@b jockey.

By the way, I love this new (ish) platform that has the updated morman swear filter.
