My take -

Vickery - We desperately need a ruckman to first back up Simmonds and then take over the role. He is agile, mobile, fast and possesses a great attitude. He was touted as a top 3 pick early and even if we find ourselves with an embarrassment of riches in the ruck he could be a fantastic forward

Deledio - Superstar getting better by the year

Cotchin - see above

Morton - Young, mature and a great forward come midfielder. He was one of our best forwards this year and will only get better.

Riewoldt - Our HF of the future who has tremedous leadership qualities.

Moore - Along with Thursfield and McGuane, will be our crutial to our future success and will become THE defensive team of the league.

McGuane - see above

Thursfield - see above

Foley - our best midfielder at the moment and with additional future support from Lids and Cotch, he will be only get better

and making an early call...

Post - our Richo in the making or Hunter at the very least, playing either end or roaming the ground. Very exciting option.

1 Richo
2 Deledio
3 Cotchin
4 Foley
5 Thursfield
6 Moore
7 Edwards
8 McGuane
9 Morton
10 Post

I want to see Vickery and Rance play they would be equal at 11 right now and if Angus Graham steps up there is a bakers dozen of players who cover ruck, key position and midfield who can develop into more than just a serviceable group of individuals.

In order:

1. Deledio - explosive, skilful, dependable, composed...the complete package.
2. Cotchin - The smoothest moving youngster going around
3. Riewoldt - Our future star KPP forward
4. Moore - Just started entering his prime.  Key defender, has beaten some of the best
5. Thursfield - One of the best young key defenders in the game...great spoiling ability.  You don't discard quality natural defenders.
6. Vickery - Our ruck future depends on him, unfortunately
7. Foley - Our here and now mids...one of the keys to our shorter term success.
8. Tambling - On the rise, high draft pick.  We need to recoup our investment
9. Richo - would be higher if we could get 10 more years out of him.  The fact that he only has a few more years signifies his standing in amongst the youn guns of this list.
10. Newman - our general out of defence and skipper.  Skippers should automatically qualify as untouchable.

Notice how most of u dont have Tambling in your ten.

Its only one game before some of you get your memory back as to how crap a player he really is.

Lids
Richo
Tuck
Foley
Cotchin
Newman
Moore
Foley
Jack
Morton

Apologies to Thursfield, Polo and Hughes whom i believe is the key. We need a Key forward out of the square.

Daniel , with respect..... Tambling is a much better player than Polo IMHO.
What has Polo done since his first game?

The definition of "untouchable" always creates a good discussion.

It depends on the price offered and for mine I only have two players that I wouldn't listen to any talk of trade

Lids
Cotch

These two are young and have the potential to be elite players.

My next too closest would be Riewoldt and Moore as they are young KPP players with potential to be very very good footballers.  Still if the Gold Coast team offered up a few top ten draft picks in exchange I would have to perform due diligence and have a long look at it.

I dont think a team can have 10 untouchables especially if you subscribe to the "trade quality to get quality" theory.
Perhaps that has been one of Richmonds main problems in the past....Too many "over rated " untouchables.
"What if " Richmond had the courage to trade players like Knights,Cambell,Daffy,Gasper when their market value was high.

At the moment only Lids & Cotch are off the table.

I agree with these comments.  The only 2 are the potential blue ribbon mids.  Anyone else can be replaced if the trade is right.  Having said that I would be loath to trade Simmonds at this point unless it was for a like player, and I have discounted Richo because quite frankly, he ain't goin' anywhere!

Backs: Newman, Moore

Mids: Cotchin, Cousins, Tuck, Foley

Forwards: Deledio, Richo, Brown, Riewoldt

Ruck: Simmonds
