Title: Will we upgrade a rookie ahead of round 1?
Post by: one-eyed on February 22, 2017, 02:19:31 AM
Meanwhile, the Tigers have placed departed defender Chris Yarran on the long-term injury list for 2017, allowing them to upgrade a rookie ahead of round one.

Yarran retired after the club's final list lodgement last November and remains a listed player. 

The move to place him on the long-term injury list could create opportunities for young Sudanese-born tall forward Mabior Chol, who has impressed over the pre-season.

Isn't Morris still on the LTI list as well?

Can't we just downgrade Hamspud, Hunt & Townsend then upgrade them all?

Not at the moment

Would need to be placed on there again for any part of 2017

Jason Castagna pressed his claims for an upgrade from Richmond’s rookie list to senior list, with a lively display up forward in last Friday night’s JLT Community Series win against Adelaide at Etihad Stadium.

Seems like a good player to upgrade if we need to or for reward. He went ok last year too.

Castagna will more than likely get the gig and probably deserves it at this stage but purely from a list perspective I'd prefer Moore or Chol....

Agree. We're desperately lacking talls both in defense and up forward.

Seem to have a plethora of mid/small sized runners at the moment.

Well actually if you read the post because you have made two sentences you have given the impression that you have made the decision based on one practice game and as an afterthought added in last years performance.

However in regards to Nank you believe Hampson is the better because Nank has only played one practice game for the RFC.  However Nank also played last year and done fairly well in the games he played.

So how come whats good enough for one player isn't good enough for another.

I call it inconsistency in argument but given what we all have to put up with you from past experience I wouldn't expect anything less.

The Tigers have a single list spot left to elevate a rookie after a settlement with retired defender Chris Yarran cleared space.

It means any of Jason Castagna, Mabior Chol, Cal Moore, Ivan Soldo or Tyson Stengle could be elevated before Round 1.

Castagna seems the clear favourite given his three-goal performance from eight possessions in the JLT series clash over Adelaide.

Small forward Stengle has impressed over the summer and ruckman Soldo continues to gain ground but were not chosen in last week’s win over the Crows.

Nank is actually on the list proper though and does not need upgrading.

Besides the above is open to opinion id say, because statistically at least he was pretty ordinary.
Last yr he managed just 7 games being over looked for  others.
 For a big Ruckman who we hope can go fwd he went at

11 disposals
1.7 marks
0.5 contested marks
0.3 goals
14 h/o
He did lay 5 tackles a game though.

Clearly we took him for his upside and like most i like what he does without the ball and he shows more than enough to suggest all others areas will improve at this level no hesitation in playing him in front of Hampson though his aggression and willingness for the contest puts him in front of hampson by some margin.
But he sure as hell will have to significantly improve on those stats.

Was that his averages last year

Well the Richmond faithful have definitely been blessed with the mighty Hammers 1.17 average disposals and 0.05 tackles per game.

No wonder Nank isn't the number 1 ruck in the eyes of some

I'm well aware. My comment was in reference to the fact WAT believes Nankervis is still behind Hampson. So in the end we both have made the same conclusion :thumbsup

Fair enough Just think there is a fair bit of baiting going on and on this occasion wat does not deserve it.
So he prefers Hampson over Nankervis dont agree but can see why. So he wants Castagna promoted on this i do agree and again can see why.

No baiting at all on this occasion and if it was I'm sure the mods would have taken care of it. Just making a simple observation that he doesn't apply the same rules he applies to his favourite player/s to everyone else.

Richmond has a pleasant ‘problem’ in the lead-up to the opening round of the 2017 season, according to senior coach Damien Hardwick.

The Tigers have vacancies on their senior playing list for two rookie-list elevations, and several young players pressed their promotional claims in last Saturday’s final JLT Community Series hit-out against Collingwood.

“We’re pretty fortunate in a way.  We’ve got a number of rookies playing well,” Hardwick said in his post-match press conference following Richmond’s seven-point loss to the Magpies at Moe.

“(Jason) Castagna’s been playing some good football.  Mabior Chol, I thought today, was terrific in bits and pieces.  We see what he can do going forward.  And then big (Ivan) Soldo . . . the big ‘fella’ at the end was really exciting for us as well . . . kicked 1.2.

“So, it’s a great position for us to be in . . . They’re good questions to have coming into Round 1.”

Castagna had the equal second most score involvements (eight) by any Tiger player in last Saturday’s match, the equal most tackles (four) and kicked a goal.

Chol had 12 disposals, including nine contested possessions, five score involvements and a goal.

Soldo, who spent the first half on the bench, finished with seven disposals, four marks (including two intercept grabs), four score involvements and a goal.

According to Jon Ralph in today's Herald-Sun:


JASON CASTAGNA (ROCHMOND)

The Tigers second-year rookie has kicked 5.3 as a small forward in three pre-season games and should be elevated by next Tuesday’s deadline and play against Carlton.

MABIOR CHOL (RICHMOND)

After a journey from South Sudan via Egypt and Brisbane, the rookie was so exciting against Collingwood in Moe that he is some chance to be elevated on to the primary list.
