Title: List changes going into the 2018 preseason
Post by: Dougeytherichmondfan on July 31, 2017, 03:34:31 PM
Alright amateur list managers - what's the feeling going into the EoS changes going forward.

I can only really think of 2 obvious delistings at the end of this year in Bachelor and Hunt, any others likely to get the chop?

Do we have to ask ourselves whether Miles stays, considering Graham is a younger version that appears to be everything we'd hoped for?

Is Corey Ellis on his last chance, same with Conca?

I'd assume we'll keep 3 spots available for draft picks so 3 players will need to be chopped at the very least, and I can't think of any likely retirements.

Edit: Forgot about Maric (duh!). Hampson contracted next year. Can we afford to draft a young developing ruck or do we need someone who can slide in and play senior games when req?

Batchelor stays on every day of the week.

Of impeccable character is the young man.

Yes Batchelor will stay at Richmond...as VFL captain.... :shh

Conca -unbelievably- is contracted until the end of 2018.

Think CEllis is fairly safe for now, though I wouldn't be against trading him.(won't happen)

Lennon &  Townsend's cards looked to be marked so they're probably both gone.

Morris you'd think would be finished but I wouldn't put it past the club ti give him one more because of his injuries and because we still prefer sentiment to professionalism and success.(see Drummond's re-signing)

Maric retired.

Broad's probably saved himself this last three weeks.

Hamspud will probably suck up every bit of contract and stay.

If Griffiths gets back befure the end of the year unscathed he'll likely stay and if he cracks the seniors again, he definitely will.

Hunt -gone

Elton - see Hunt....

Menadue strongly rumoured to be seeking a trade. Miles strongly rumoured to be up for trade.

Edwards & BEllis should bth be traded but won't be.


Reckon we'll only take the minimum three in thedraft..., the rookie list is being scrapped next year in favour of an expanded primary list so I guess our rookies will either be automatically upgraded or have to be delisted? Wonder if the upgrades will count as draft picks this year?

So by my calculations there ahould be a minimum of 7 list changes and at least 3 will be required to accomodate draft picks.

Gee wiz that is one quick write off. What makes you want to delist a 20 year old, 1st round draft pick who has been constantly injured so quickly over some older hacks or even some of the others drafted in his year?

No brainers

Morris
Batchelor
Maric
Hampson
Hunt
Lloyd
Griffiths
Elton
Townsend

The only reason Elton and Griffiths may survive is the lack of talls on the list. Its not a good reason to hang onto such underperformers though.Could easily add others to this list

Others who get regular games but imo would not be too hard to find better players than and who are spineless squibs

B Ellis
Edwards
Grigg
Houli

Some juniors who have to be under question
Drummond
Lennon
C Ellis
Castagna people may raise an eyebrow  but with so many small fwds this bloke is expendable mainly because of his skills or lack there of.

There are others as well but none of it will happen bare minimum cull id say because everything they have done and said suggests they are happy with the list in the main.

on last legs
Batchelor

Lennon(trade if we can)

In a shallow draft I wouldn't cut more than that - Id also upgrade Stengle and Moore to the senior list

I wouldn't think so, they feel they lack pace in the midfield.

I reckon they might have a go at Menadue if he is available.

Thanks for the information (I was too lazy to dig up) OE!

Of those contracted until the end of this year I'd say Batchelor, Hunt, Maric, Morris are gawn.

50/50s are Drummon and Townsend and perhaps Broad.

BEllis & Martin certainties to be offered contracts and likely top 10 money earners

which leaves Butlet and Lambert, both who would surely be there next year.

That's 29 or 27 if Drummond and caddy are sign for longer that are on one or two year contracts. Is it normal to have most of your list on such short terms? To me that would allow you to drop players but also to have players leave. What your saying is those %60 of your list are expendable to an extent.

With two first round picks and abstaining to a large degree from nds over the last two seasons  i would hope like hell we use at the bare minimum 4 nd picks.Id really like us to trade into the draft if possible but it wont happen.
The state of kpds  kpfs  and the lack of mids, plus  if Rookies take up  spots then we have to be looking at turning over 9 or 10 players. Silly thing is this is not hard to do.We could cut/trade 10 and not lose a thing .

Cheers for that, taz  :cheers. I've corrected the contracts list in my above post.

Didn't Drummond sign a contract recently for next year?
This Herald-Sun article prior to the Dreamtime game mentioned we were about to sign Drummond to a one-year deal but I don't recall any further confirmation (?).

Meanwhile, Richmond is set to sign Kamdyn McIntosh to a new two-year deal and Nathan Drummond to a new one-year deal. Rioli, 20, is also in contract negotiations and expected to recommit.

From the Herald-Sun:

The Tigers face a fight to keep onballer Anthony Miles, with the uncontracted midfielder vulnerable to a poaching raid from rival clubs.

The hard nut, who has finished sixth and fourth in the Tigers’ past two best and fairest counts, will play only his fifth game of the season against Hawthorn on Sunday at the MCG.

Miles, 25, will likely wait until after the end of the season to make a decision on his future.

Classy utility Ben Lennon, 22, is again expected to explore his trade options as he fights to extend his football career.

The No.12 draft pick has been leapfrogged by Richmond’s vaunted batch of speedy small forwards, playing only two games this season.

The Tigers move to a more high-pressure game in the forward half has also hurt Lennon, who is out of contract this year and certain to look for a new home.

While the 22-year-old continues to kick regular bags of goals in the VFL, he has been named in the best in the Tigers’ VFL team only once in 11 games this season.

Carlton tried to secure Lennon with a three year deal in 2015 but Lennon re-signed at Richmond and has failed to cement a regular spot.

He was yesterday withdrawn from Richmond’s 25-man squad to take on the Hawks.

Tough defender Steve Morris, former Cat Taylor Hunt and key position player Todd Elton are also all out of contract. Morris is keen to win a contract extension despite playing only one game so far this season.

Castagna rumours are interesting. On paper stringer would be an upgrade... I am unsure if you can keep playing caddy and Townsend long term it may get found out.

It would be bold to trade lambert or bellis for a strong offer. They currently hold lots of value.  Would we be offered a first rounder?

Houli  & grigg should be offered too...  :shh. Houli has been good but you have to be brave to improve the list. If he wins a flag however might as well keep him  8)

From the Herald-Sun website's live trade talk today:

duckky:
What chance of Sam Lloyd of Richmond being a trade target given he cannot get a look in at the seniors?

Jon Ralph:
Yeah, I would think he and Anthony Miles would be going somewhere. Put it this way - he isn't getting a game at the Tigers. And would he get a slot at the worst club out there? So that's on ladder Carlton, Brisbane and Gold Coast. Gold Coast would slot him in as a handy lead-up to keep defenders honest on Tom Lynch. So if he was delisted or wanted out, I am sure there would be another home for him.

Maric
Elton
Hunt
Morris

May be tradable
Batchelor
Lennon
Miles
Lennon

Title: Re: List changes going into the 2018 preseason
Post by: RedanTiger on September 14, 2017, 11:09:40 AM
I'm only talking about Moore and Stengle being upgraded and Chol being delisted due to the statement made earlier that the rookie list will be removed and the list (senior) expanded.

As far as Chol is concerned, I just think watching him over the last couple of weeks in the VFL that while he has the talent to be a very good tall defender, there is a worrying inconsistency of effort. At times he seems to be coasting and satisfied with just being on a list as a professional footballer.

I've listed who I think could be delisted or traded and that allows us plenty of room without making drastic decisions. We have between 5 and 9 fairly obvious changes.

Musing on this over the last couple of days there are some points worth thinking about.

1) We have a shortage of key position players with only Rance and Astbury in defence and Riewoldt and Griffith (possibly) forward.

If we can get a Schache-type in trade this will help. A tall forward who has a couple of years of development under his belt. Himmelburg would have a been a prime candidate but injuries to Cameron and Mumford have shown him he may have a future at the Giants. Without those injuries he may well have not played in the finals. The key here is to not pay too much. I've posted already that a trade of Miles for Schache can be done with the proviso that we should be paid a bit more for our current player over the potential of theirs.

We can draft to add to our key defenders. There is not the same urgency here as there is in the forwards. I note there is talk of Balta as a forward. I would have thought he is a perfect fit for us as a developing key back.

2) We have a shortage of rucks with only Nankervis, a doubtful Hampson, a developing Soldo and a dodgy Griffith.

We can draft a young ruck or trade for one. It is up to the list management committee which way to go here. I would like to see us draft Hayes as the young ruck/forward but that may be tricky given our picks and depends on trade options.

3) We seem to be okay for current and future options for the midfield.

It is interesting that there seems to be a set-up in our midfield to play a tall and a short wingman on opposite sides. I'm not sure if that's planned but it seems to be a given. We have Grigg, McIntosh and Menadue on one side and on the other we have B Ellis, Rioli or Graham.

If we continue to do this, and I've got no problem with it, perhaps Naish can be the next in line to take over from Graham when he moves into pure midfield as I expect. As with the previous we have a problem getting Naish with our current draft picks but I can understand the emotional attachment to Naish and he does fit with the apparent model of short and tall.

4) The wheel turns quickly on game plans.

While our much-discussed one key, small forward line is working wonderfully and hopefully for another couple of weeks there is a big chance that over the off-season this will be picked apart and countered by the opposition next year. That's okay. It's what happens but we must try to stay ahead.

What hasn't been discussed as much is the use of Caddy and Townsend as defensive forwards. They have taken over the roles of second and third tall forwards simply by halving the aerial contests and using their strength and agility to beat their opponents on the ground with the help of the harrying smalls like Rioli, Butler and Castagna. This is also added to by the use of Martin and Cotchin resting forward - a key aspect pointed out by Hardwick on the Talking Footy interview.

The thing is that we have a chance to stay ahead with a few tweaks.
In Moore we have a classic third tall with some extra skills. He is very, very quick and can cover a lot of ground becoming an important link player. Riewoldt is currently the perfect model for what we want from Moore. Usually the link player is the backman coming forward like Houli or Shaw. If Moore can develop it changes this whole structure. The backs don't have as much demand to rebound and can maintain their structure at all times. A player like Moore coming down the ground as the link player also has the benefit of opening up space in the forward line. I think this is a style that Clarkson has been trying at Hawthorn over years but he hasn't really had the players. Gunston would be the closest he has come but now he's the classic rebounding half back.

What I want:
Schache as a swap for Miles with an upgrade of picks.
Balta as a key defender with a first rounder.
Hayes as a ruck/forward if we're really lucky with a first rounder. Or a young ruck from elsewhere in a low cost trade like Nankervis.
Naish with a mash-up of points from Miles and any other trades we can rig together. It's not essential but it would be nice to get a Richmond kid. Maybe it's even worthwhile to go into deficit for next years picks. I don't like the idea but, after all, this year could fix most of the holes on our list for years to come.

Of course that rosy optimism depends on the recruiters getting each and every pick perfect and no potholes along the way.

Soldo has already had 3 years on Rookie list

Chol will get another year on Rookie list

Callum Moore to be upgraded

Georgie to be traded

Didnt think there were restirction on the length you could keep rookies these days especailly the category Soldo comes under.

Personally I wouldnt be upgrading Moore, still have reservations. Would much rather see what's out there draft wise first

Of the rookies, if what was said is true then, Moore and Stengle would go up onto the senior list, leaving Chol as a possible release.

Castagna is a promoted rookie this season and based on his season he gets a permanent spot on the senior list

Soldo. Moore and Stengle ro remain rookies and most probably Choi as well.

I've heard Chol is nowhere near it, and from the handful of quarters I've seen of the magoos before AFL games I would say there's not much to excite me.

Doesn't look like he knows what he's doing/where to run, and lacks effort. Very athletic of course but otherwise not much else to interest me.

He will get better at it the more games he plays.

Chol has taken like 10 huge marks in defence the last 3 weeks. Had a good game in the forward line yesterday. Nice marks. Goals. Assists. Lots of key contributions too

With our lack of rucks and tall fwds/backs it be pretty dumb to remove him from the list.

FFS let him play at least 2 senior games before he is wiped of the face of the Tiger planet.
Looks to have talent (stuff me I hope he has) and we won't fully know until he plays a bit more.
Just like Townsend, first five years, kicked 4 goals and everybody seemed to go off him pretty quick (including me), then this year kicks 13 (so far).

I see the talent, just needs more senior match toughening up and learning, well that's just my opinion anyway, good luck Chol  :thumbsup .

Given West Coast is going to go through a list cull would they want Conca?

I wouldn't think so, they feel they lack pace in the midfield.

I reckon they might have a go at Menadue if he is available.

Hmm they have eked out all they can from a lot of players and are in desperate need of big inside mids outside classy mids and small fwds. they have every other area covered.

It wont happen but you could cull 15 or so  and not blink, and it may be too late but they could or should have traded one of McKenzie or Schofield.

in the gun in order imo

Priddis - retired.
Mitchell -  retired.
Petrie -  retired.
Butler - retired
Le Cras -   should retire but wont.
Hill -  what a soft prick.
Jetta -  like a lot of ours hes had one good yr in about 8 and hes still living on it.besides has a pea heart smaller than B Ellis.
Giles -  superfluous to needs with Lycett and Naitanui coming back from injury. they need a junior not an aged hack.
Masten - is the most overrated poorly skilled lazy player in the comp.

Trade
McKenzie or Schofield. At their age of  28 29 may not get a lot for them.

Thats 10 it wont happen Simpson loves aged hacks. You could name probably 5 others as well.

Theres a also a few rookies on top of that.

what amazes me is they have needed big inside junior mids  for yrs and they went with runts when players like P Cripps, Blakeley, and Powell-Pepper all west aussies  were available to them.
they have to go backwards to go forwards that was obvious at the end of 2015 but they kept topping up with old players and ignored the nd to a large degree.

Their best 22 next yr is quite decent outside of mids.In fact their spine is as good as anyones.
If it was me in charge id be going with something like this.And id be targeting someone like Cripps and our own Shai bolton.Imagine just 3 sliding door moments Cripps, Powell-pepper, Blakeley and they traded for Bolton also a west aussie.

 FB: Hurn - Barass - Yeo
 HB:Sheppard - McGovern - Nelson

 R:  Naitanui - Blakeley - Duggan
 C: Shuey - Cripps - Gaff

 HF: Lamb - Darling - Rioli
 FF: Bolton - Kennedy - Karpany

INT: Powell Pepper - Sheed - Partington - Venables.

As stated this is what id try to do with them big inside ball winning mids and some small fwds to compliment the the talls in lamb, Kennedy and Darling.
I really dont think thats a slow side its about the balance of  speed, size, height and ball winning ability. You can see just how shallow their midfield is with priddis and Mitchell gone and the naming of three badly needed mids that they dont have.

Gunna get the pee taken but hey just my thoughts on an opposition club.

His forward pressure is elite.

He is a good tackler. His forward pressure makes defenders crap the self just when he is in te general vicinity. Based on reputation. Pressure. Referrered pressure. Pace.

The knock that the fans voted him in the 22 side is strange. The all Australian selectors or umpires are hardly infallible. Cotchin was not in the squad ... :o

As with Conca, Lennon, Miles - I reckon unless we get offered a 2nd rounder or 1s standard player hold onto them. They're all capable of playing good seniors level football.

The thing about Soldo is that he was a category B rookie for at least a couple of years.
You're not counted on even the rookie list if you have never played before.
It's usually for internationals like the Irish recruits or even Cox and Holmes from the US.
Think Soldo has only been on the official list for a couple of years.

I remember the time Morris was pantsed by Betts......despite not even being in the side

Yes.....some of the loosest checking ever seen by Morris that day.....
Morris did the best he could with limited talent. He isn't a good reader of the play, not fast, not tall but he played in the AFL.  Well done.

Elton was such a non event in the end . Impersonating an AFL footballer for 6 years .

Yep, have felt for some time he was at the head of the queue for the exit door.

Project tall who didn't work out. Got a fair crack at it IMO

Can't believe he didn't stop Betts that night

Thought Elton might stay on, perhaps another developed big man is on his way? :shh

Elton was always goenski, showed in every AFL game he played this year (sadly) he wasnt up to it

Not playing in the VFL finals was the final nail IMHO

How is Griffiths still on our list?

Surely people don't think he's going to do an Astbury and turn his career around?


Or maybe just cut later...?

Griffith is signed until end of 2018.
We have plenty of space due to retirements and delistings.
Leave him for next year and see what happens

Hold onto for mine.

I agree, if I had to guess I'd say I don't see him making it. However, we're stretched thin (excuse the pun) with talls so I'd say we're only getting rid of the ones we can't afford to keep on our list.

I've heard Chol is nowhere near it, and from the handful of quarters I've seen of the magoos before AFL games I would say there's not much to excite me.

Doesn't look like he knows what he's doing/where to run, and lacks effort. Very athletic of course but otherwise not much else to interest me.

That's concerning. Hope hes  not Like Daw at Norf a great athlete but a liability as a footballer.

Given I know nothing cos we won and I thought we had holes everywhere I'll caveat this. I reckon we ought to draft 2 mids and trade miles for schache if miles is a goner. If he'll stay keep him.

Of course we would trade Miles for Shache

But considering that's an impossible pipe dream, we'd better look at other options

Well considering McBean is long gone to the SANFL and Chol is still on our list albeit tthe rookie list,  think Chol is still ahead of McBean.

And i still think Chol showed more in a couple of preseason games than McBean did in his AFL career. ;D

We've already got one mummy's boy on our list and at least he played in our reserves grand final. Schache on the other hand left his teammates to fight out a premiership win without him.

Except NAB cup games are not played at anywhere near AFL-level intensity and can't be compared to AFL Premiership matches.... :shh

If we cut him it would be for his own good. He ought to take the Dr's advice and retire. What is it 5 concussions and counting? Your a long time brain damaged.

I dunno. Miles + 2nd rounder might do it.

At this stage that is overs. Thinking more a straight swap might clinch it.

RICHMOND

Defender Jake Batchelor will learn more about his future at the end of the NAB AFL Trade Period after playing just once this season.

Smart forward Ben Lennon is out of contract and has not lived up to his potential after just five games in the past two seasons. His talent was obvious after being drafted at No.12 in 2013 but Lennon has never flourished in Damien Hardwick's side. He appears to be in limbo, a situation Nathan Drummond also finds himself in. The midfielder has had both knees reconstructed but might be given another chance.

Tough onballer Anthony Miles is out of contract and exploring options, but will be kept on at the Tigers if he doesn't move elsewhere.

Already delisted: Todd Elton, Taylor Hunt, Ivan Maric (retired), Steven Morris, Chris Yarran (retired)
