Delisted: Who's on the chopping block at your club?

Nathan Schmook
AFL.com.au
15th September 2016


RICHMOND

Who’s gone?
Troy Chaplin (215 games in 13 seasons) - retired
Adam Marcon (two games in one season) - delisted
Liam McBean (five games in four seasons) - delisted
Reece McKenzie (no games in two seasons) - retired

Who’s nervous?
Defender Jake Batchelor is out of contract and played only six games this season, putting his position in doubt. Midfielder Andrew Moore is also out of contract and hasn't been utilised to the extent the club expected as an inside midfielder. Kane Lambert is out of contract but should be retained. Ruckman Ivan Maric has not been re-signed.

Who’s worth a look?

Ivan Maric is looking at a dual role as a ruck coach and back-up ruckman, but that may not be at the Tigers. His leadership and mentoring as a ruck coach would make him a valuable pick-up even if he only plays in desperate circumstances. Lambert, if delisted, and Marcon might get second chances, but McBean would likely need to prove himself in a state league first.

Good luck to him, our development of him has been deplorable IMHO

As a rookie?

His true metal will be tested at the Swans.  I'd really like to see it come to pass as it will prove where we are bad. Recruiting or development. If he fails then recruiting if he succeeds it's development.

Or maybe, if he fails, he was just not quite up to it, lazy or due to genetics not going to get any heavier or stronger and we can stop blaming everyone else

Could our recruiting be that bad if one of these supposed good clubs want to take him too?

He has put on considerable weight over the past 8 weeks
He knows that AFL isn't a gift
Given another opportunity, he understands what needs to be done
