2011 Richmond Tigers Trade Week

Jon Ralph of the Herald Sun is reporting the following:


Ivan Maric of Adelaide is not looking good, Adelaide want too much Richmond goes not want to give up anything.


Ben Nason's name is being thrown around for a trade to Adelaide


Dan Conners wants out


Similarly, tall defender Luke McGuane would like greater opportunities and a deal would be done for the right price. But he is contracted, so could yet stay.


Matt White and Mitch Morton will both have their names thrown around at trade time.


Nathan Foley's name has been tossed around lately, but he isn't going anywhere. He is contracted for next year according to the club and he is a favourite of coach Damien Hardwick.

Trent Cotchin tooks out the Jack Dyer Medal

I was a very happy Richmond supporter last night when I found out that Trent Cotchin had won the Jack Dyer Medal. We finally got to see Cotchin in every game this year and he showed us all what he could do with an injury free season, two-time winner Brett Deledio and Dustin Martin rounded out the top 3.


The final wash up was:

1st - Trent Cotchin    236 votes (Jack Dyer Medal winner)
2nd - Brett Deledio    203 (Jack Titus Medal winner)
3rd - Dustin Martin    198 (Maurie Fleming Medal winner)
4th - Bachar Houli    181 (Fred Swift Medal winner)
5th - Ty Vickery    161 (Kevin Bartlett Medal winner)
Eq. 6th - Alex Rance    159
Eq. 6th - Robin Nahas    159
8th - Nathan Foley    150
9th - Jack Riewoldt    149
10th - Shaun Grigg    137  


I must admit I am excited about the future of the Tigers, if just for one year we get Cotchin, Foley, Martin through the middle and guys like Deledio and Houli coming off the back line all hitting up Riewoldt and Vickery injury free. It would make me a happy Tigers fan.


There was also a big thumbs up to the recruiting department who made the moves to get Shaun Grigg and Bachar Houli down to Tigerland who both finished in the top 10.

Jake King has intervention order against him extended for six months

RICHMOND'S Jake King has denied allegations he threatened a man and his family who have taken out an intervention order against him.

King, 27, fronted Broadmeadows Magistrates' Court this morning and agreed to the order being extended for six months.

But King's lawyer told the court his client denied any wrongdoing and agreed to the order without making any admissions to the allegations made against him.

An intervention order was taken out against King on behalf of the alleged victims earlier this month.

Police investigated the claims but have not charged King with any offence.

The magistrate warned King that the order was not to be taken lightly as any breach could result in severe penalties including jail.

But he acknowledged that there had been no finding of guilt or wrongdoing against him in making the extended order.
