According to theRoar website:
The five players your team can't afford to lose: Richmond

The Richmond Tigers will be looking to replicate their display in 2020 and peak at the right time in 2021 and win yet another premiership. The following players are the ones that they can least afford to lose in 2021 if the Tigers are to taste the ultimate success yet again.
Honourable mention: Tom Lynch was a pivotal part of the Richmond Tigers’ structure. The grand final epitomised his value to the Tigers team as he didn’t have a good game, but drew defenders and was a pivotal part of their system. Lynch should be an important part of the Tigers team in 2021.
5. Kane Lambert helped the Richmond Tigers make the grand final with a solid display in the preliminary final where he kicked two goals and had a big impact on the game. He is a player that often gets overlooked in terms of recognition and media hype. He is a quiet achiever. He may not be in 2021, as hopefully he gets more credit for the talent that he possesses.
4. Nick Vlastuin showed how valuable he is to the Richmond Tigers when he was concussed early in the grand final. It forced the Tigers to make adjustments. The Geelong Cats gained the ascendancy and momentum following his injury. It shows that the Tigers will need him fit and available for every game in 2021.
3. Jayden Short would have won the Norm Smith Medal if Dustin Martin didn’t kick some freakish goals. He was a deserved winner of the best and fairest in 2020 at the Richmond Tigers. He will be looking to continue on with the manner in which he played in 2020 when the new season commences in 2021.
2. Toby Nankervis will be extremely important if the Richmond Tigers are to be in the mix when it comes to the business end of the 2021. The Tigers’ other key ruckman Ivan Soldo will miss 2021 through injury. Mabior Chol is more a forward than a ruckman.
1. Dustin Martin does things that other players can’t. He impacted the result of the grand final in key moments. In 2021 he will be instrumental if the Richmond Tigers are to win yet another premiership.

The 3 Bs are important. Baker, Balta and Bolton.

Lynch and grimes should be in it imo.
-
Don’t think so, no Cotchin, Prestia , Lynch , Grimes .
-
Grimes, can't afford to lose him for an extended period of time
But right now with no Soldo and CCJ being so very raw Nankervis is the one for mine
-
lose nobody.

lose nobody.

“Lose” is interesting
As in a knee reco and done for the year , or, traded out
I read a ridiculous post on Facebook a couple of months ago that had us receiving Rowell, Rankine, Anderson and 2 first rounders from the Gold Coast for Dusty
99% of the morons laughed this off as a joke
Where this is a 100000000% must do if it could ever be offered
NOBODY is untouchable

Except Dusty. Whether he loves it or not he is the face of Richmond and our success. He is our talisman and we gotta look after him. Unlike Geelong giving Chapman the green vest in a final in a milestone game.
