RICHMOND has locked away young guns Brandon Ellis and Nick Vlastuin.
Former skipper Chris Newman - still in search of his first finals appearance after 224 games - and cult hero Jake King have also signed for next year.
Vlastuin, 19, has played just seven games but yesterday committed to the Tigers until the end of 2016.
Ellis, 19, has signed for two more years.
"They started talking to my manager the week before the Melbourne game ... and I said whatever they offer me, just take it - I want to sign,'' Ellis told the Herald Sun.
"We are on the verge of something special in the next few years, I think.
"We've just got so much confidence in where the group is going. The last two weeks we've played the brand of footy we knew we could.
"The boys believe in each other and we want to share the success together that is hopefully around the corner.''
A star-studded group including Jack Riewoldt, Dustin Martin, Reece Conca, Dylan Grimes and Alex Rance are yet to commit beyond this year, but Richmond football boss Dan Richardson said talks were ongoing.
"We hope to secure a number of our other key players in the coming months,'' he said.
"It's a fantastic result for the club to extend the contracts of two of its brightest prospects and two of its most loyal servants.
"Brandon and Nick represent the future at Richmond, and they've already shown Tiger fans why they are regarded so highly within the club.
"Chris has been an incredible player and leader over a long period of time, and Jake has been a great story of persistence and hard work.
"Along with Trent Cotchin's contract extension last month, our list is in good shape for the future."

Only worrying one is Jack IMO.

All the other big clubs that have played finals recently don't have issues signing players yet we do.
How does that work?
Unless they are asking for something rediculous like 800k plus I can't understand how we are close to TTP.

Good news but would like others signed up as soon as possible

They don't? Really?
In 2012 it was Cloke - ring a bell? Took all season. While our big re-signing last year was Deledio and it was done on the eve of the season, no issues there.
Right now look Franklin one of the biggest names in the game; he wont sign and it appears it will drag on all season too. Ditto with Thomas & the Pies
Think it happens at every club, we are no different.
Lower clubs target "name" players in the hope they can snag a big fish to boost their crappy stocks.
Our players will get targeted more now as we move up the ladder. Reality of the comp
Only worrying one is Jack IMO.
Not worried about Jack, it's all about posturing and for Jack with a new manager (Pickering) there seems to be more posturing this time.
It will sort itself out. Feel the same about this situation as I did with the Lids thing last year, it will happen ;D
And BTW for people's info the total salry cap this seaosn is $9.14mil and clubs must pay 95% of it = $8.863mil.
To hit at that number we'd have a few blokes on bigger money than they probably should be ;D

Great commnet and lesson to his much vaunted team mates yet to sign :clapping Well done young man :bow

Brandon Ellis just went up afew categories in my estimations of people. The boy seems to have put loyalty ahead of money. Im sure down the track this loyalty will be rewarded. :clapping

Looks like Nazi youth but is OK in my book.

I am not concerned about Jack but Martin is kind of a worry for me, if choco goes maybe he would look at it too.
I just hope they both sign and soon.

WAT, my gut feel is Dusty is closer to signing than Jack at the moment and that both will stay.
Not worried about either :thumbsup

Collingwood and Cloke. Hawthorn and Franklin have stalled haven't they. I'm not taking much out of the articles. Reckon he'll probably stay but I reckon unlike the others he'd be willing to walk, not for money or length of contract but for not getting what he wants

* I can’t put a time line on it [Riewoldt and Martin's new contracts] but we’re working through it with their management. But I’m really confident both of those players – they’re really important players to us – want to be Tigers long-term. I’m sure we’ll work through that in a meaningful way. Sometimes these things take a little bit of time. It’s important you get to a position where both parties are comfortable. We’re not there yet, but we’re certainly, hopefully, getting closer to it.
* We’d like to think that what we’re doing at Richmond at the moment means that all those players are keen to stay and keen to, hopefully, have some success. We think those guys are really loyal, and I’m sure that they want to stay at Richmond.
* It’s a business these days, and we’re under no illusions that money is a factor and players need to be paid what they’re worth. In saying that, we think we’ve got a fair bit to offer at Richmond at the moment – the inner-city location, the facilities that we now have, and what we’re building as a club. We’d like to think that’s more important to our players. From my experience (as a long-time player agent), that’s what really drives players – the desire for success, the desire to be in a good, strong culture, in a place where they’re enjoying their footy. Money is no doubt a factor – I’m not denying that – but hopefully it’s not the be-all and end-all for them.
* We’ve got to be a bit cautious that we don’t get too excited, but certainly there’s a feeling of a bit of confidence that we’re heading in the right direction. I know that Damien (Hardwick), and the coaching staff and players are really big on just getting some consistency into our footy, and getting some confidence that if we retain that sort of consistency, then we can perform well. We’ve done that the last two weeks, but you’ve got to remember, it wasn’t so long ago, against Essendon, we had a pretty poor game. So, as we know in footy, things can change quickly. But, at the moment, we’re confident that we’re going in the right direction.

Mark Stevens Ch7 said Martn closer than Reiwoldt to re-signing but likely to only be for 2 years
Also mentioned that Wayne Campbell is on of the final 2 for the Bulldogs footy managers job

No way Jack is leaving the tiges for anything you bums

Total unsubtantiated conjecture of course

Why would Wayne go to the dogs and suffer another decade of finaless football?
He's been waiting for it Tigerland his whole career and he's leaving just before we're on the cusp of something sustainable.

Just have a poo opinion on him as a person
