Post , gone
wont be offered contract in 2013
-
Bit harsh I recon. If another club picks him up I can see him becoming a good premiership player and biteing us in the *ss
-
Gee thats a surprise, id expect there to be a fair amount of interest circling :shh...he s young and has shown quite a bit
-
Probably would have given him another year myself.However for me he did his dash in the first game this year against Carlton when they obviously targetted him and continously played through him
-
A mistake. Should have gotten rid of White first.
-
Will play at Altona if not drafted, apparently not interested in being a rookie
-
apparently not interested
an epitaph for his career at RFC
-
on the money there Gerks i would think
-
Could have at least traded him for something. A prison mattress, a used catheter.....no?

All official
No contract offer for Post
richmondfc.com.au 7:03 PM Mon 29 Oct, 2012
Richmond key position player Jayden Post has not been offered a contract for the 2013 season, as the Club finalises its list ahead of the National Draft.
The 22-year-old played a total of 30 games for the Tigers over four seasons, and kicked six goals.
Post is among several senior-listed players to leave Tigerland at the end of 2012 season, with Angus Graham traded to Adelaide and Kel Moore retiring, following the delistings of Daniel Connors, Jeromey Webberley, Andrew Browne and Dean MacDonald.
Richmond currently has four selections in the first two rounds of the National Draft - 9, 32, 34 and 43.

Couldn't Jster post the link rather than pretend someone at the club still speaks to him?

6 gals in his career :-[ I obviously have over rated this bloke. Is a shame. Thought he could have been a solid KPP. When he first broke into the side I thought he showed signs he could be a tough competitor but perhaps WP had him summed up early - not enough heart, not enough fight, not enough determination to improve. Disappointing really.

That sums it up doesn't it
What a waste only 22 yrs old, 30 games played. Could have been anything??
If you don't give it 100% your gonna get the arse, and slowly they're dissapearing :shh
-
Disappointing decision. Someone must have something against him. There were times he should have got a game but didn't. The club easily could have put Newman on veteran list. There was definately 1 more year worth of persistance
-
Dud.
Can't kick, can't hand pass.
He can only mark and punch that's it.
Very happy.

Please "someone must have something against him"..give me a break
Perhaps they just got tired of waiting for him to show some mongrel, hunger for the contest, aggression, something, anything rather than what he dished up in round 1
Gee thats a surprise, id expect there to be a fair amount of interest circling :shh...he s young and has shown quite a bit
There wasn't any interest the few last weeks
But now that he comes free... you never know

Dimma getting rid of the spuds! Love it!
-

Yeah, we should of held out 12 months and up-traded for urine cakes
-
Thought they may have kept a tall and got rid of White or (wishful thinking) Jacko.
Oh well at least White has a go.

You imebciles like to give me a whack, , lol
Actually knew yesterday but only logged on tonight along with my other post about our draw for 2013.
Fact not fiction :birthday
Play Essnedon last game of year as well
-
a little surprised myself. can understand why but like most i reckon 1 more yr was the way to go.
im surprised more about the structure of the list i couldnt see us cutting another tall. cameron has already said we will be targeting mids so we will go into 2013 with gaping holes in the tall dept.
personally matt white is the one i think should have gone. maybe if we use a psd pick he will be the next one to go.
-
gee dont bag Matty White on here, his dad might log back on :lol
-
Someone must have something against him.
Who else lol'd? :yep
He was poo. Shocked he went but not disappointed. Was always either him or McGuane and tbh could flip a coin.

Smart decision from the club. Horrible player. Will be very surprised to see him picked up.

Richmond linear time has a new marker the post Post era :)

30-50 games is where many players become players. Delisting a 22 year old tall with promise says something else is going on behind the scenes. We picked up a tattoed alco instead who's already in trouble. Great move

Hate to break it to you Jack but round 23 against bombers was in the papers last week

I know! I can't believe Jokestar is back. Again! :(
Nah, I think it's an attitude thing with Posty. He has some other flaws too, but i think there is enough raw talent to work with. Just doesn't want it enough I suspect. Maybe other clubs know this. We would have shopped him round during trade time.

Nope not the only one. Don't think any get them all right, even us mug punters. ;D
Post a particular example of why drafting talls is particularly difficult.
Just didn't progress at all.

We 'reached' for Post at pick 26 in the 2008 draft because our next pick was at 58. It obviously didn't pay off :-\.
The 2008 National draft was a flop for us with only Vickery, if he can return to his 2011 breakout year form, possibly the only player we got out of it. We had too few picks to begin with drafting just two kids and had the foolish mentality going into Wallace's final year of being "locked and loaded" :P. In fact nothing to write home about from the whole trade/draft period of that year. Nahas the only other one to have played a fair amount of AFL footy.

I thought Post showed some potential in his early games but gee whiz- 2009 was a long time ago.
Count your losses and move on.

Post's old lady sometimes goes to Altona Sports Club and my old man being the talkative local he is has been asking her "is Post still having a sook?" for the past 6 months. Reckon he'll be having a ripe old sook now.

I agree with Mad here, might be in the minority but I cant see where Edwards ofters us any more than Post did. I think he will come good somewhere, this might be the boot he needed.

My concern is the club is starting to take short cuts again. It happens all the time. The problem is the club has been yapping on about improving the culture of the place. So out goes a hard working tall who granted has shown little apart from good hands for marking and he is substituted by a poorly disciplined discard who is near the end of their career!
Post's dismissal would have been much easier to understand if Edwards had not been recruited.
How does this guy improve the culture around the club and what sort of example does this give to all our youngsters!
VERY POOR MOVE TIGERS!

Yet we've got 4 picks in the draft. :P
Edwards is low cost with the possibility of high return.
He fills a genuine list requirement that we lacked last season.
Yesterday's news was a disappointing but let's just give it a shot first before we crap all over this decision.
-
If it was back to the old, we would have only had 3 picks this draft and used our 3rd to draft Edwards (eg. Hislop, Thomson).

All with the benefit of hindsight, but I think the problem with that draft was using 43 and 58 on recycled players and only two picks on youngsters. Plenty has been previously said about Cousins in the PSD and the rookie draft wasn't too bad, apart perhaps from the redrafting of Gourdis. You'd have to say Nahas was a successful rookie pick and Browne, while ultimately not working was worth a shot that deep in the rookie draft.
Which is why I think we should make sure we use all 4 picks in this years draft on getting some new kids in. My concern is that they will use the Post delisting to free up a spot to DFA Cameron Wood. I've never really rated Wood (he shows occasional signs of talent but few signs of heart), but if they do get him I hope its not at the expense of one of our first four picks.

Disappointing is the understatement of the year!
What a way of starting off your time at a new club!
Disgraceful is a better term. He better be a bloody good player for us as he would be on reasonable coin.
The club has gone out of its way to interview prospective recruits in the past and then this!
Go figure!

This comment sums up Post in a nutshell. You can give a talented footballer a boot in the arse if he is operating at 70%, but Post was running at 100% effort and commitment and still didn't make the grade. This confirms he was just out of his depth, plain and simple.

Agree. Unlike Astbury and Griffiths who've had some serious injuries, Post has had an uninterrupted crack at it.
Tweet says a bit about Grimesy too. Future leader if he can get himself right.

Absolutely not.
Would look at Tom Gillies first, 2nd and third.

Weve got two recycleds who are roughies at best to ad much in CKnights and AEdwards already. Let's not add to the pile any further.
Youth all the way from here in.

If we were looking at re-cycled players I'd look at Gillies before even considering Gram

Agreed. Gillies in a leg brace would be able to put on more defensive pressure than Gram. The guy is a loose one trick pony who only gets noticed when he bangs one in from outside 50.

Always thought Post was a good mark and started off brightly. Shame didn't make it. Had the potential to be a very good player but never lived up to expectations and appeared not to have applied himself which makes it more of a shame

Seems his team-mates see it differently, as tweeted by Grimes.
-

In hindsight he started off brightly in 2009 b/c we were so woeful.
Had heaps of chances and just made the same sort of errors with a lack of desire and application.
To sum up his career look at the Port game in round 23 this year. Was just nowhere near the required standard when it was time to stand up.
-
thought/hoped he'd make it...but that seems to be the problem with Posty - you always had your fingers crossed with him (including in games/in possession)....
also agree that Gillies would be worth a look late or PSD...definitely a big NO to Gram - don't need that sort of swine/influence on the youngsters
-
I liked Post despite the fact he was a frustrating player to barrack for. I've always thought that it would take until age mid 20's with Post and it was always a case of whether the club could hold it's nerve. I also think the recruitment of Brad Miller stalled Post's development and wasted about 20 odd games at CHF that probably should have been Post's games.
If it was between McGuane, White and Derickx for the final spot then I think the club has made a mistake there too because what have you got to lose with those three. Add to that the recruitment of the one-dimensional Edwards as a back up forward and I have to say I disagree with the club on this one.
-
not up to it.

Miller and now Chaplin have forced Post out. He would have been another 10 games advanced if we didn't have Miller and he probably would have been signed up for next year. Dunno what the club were thinking at times and this recent delisting is still very annoying. They stuffed him around for 2 years then didn't bother to put Newman on veterans list. Been saying since last year that the club owed him. He'd be mightily annoyed I'd say
-
Let's face it. He was given one game in which he played badly (Round 1, Carlton) but he wash't alone in that regard. Then he is dropped like a hot potato for almost the rest of the year. How is a young player supposed to get confidence and play with flair. Look at Hawthorn and the way they play Schoenmakers. He has played worse games than Post but they have backed the guy and he has slowly improved. By the end of 2013 he may develop into there leading backman if this trend continues.
Post should have been told at the start of 2012 that he will be played for 10 games no matter what. After that time he would be assessed. If his performances thereafter meant that he deserved more senior games then he should have continued playing. That way Post would not have to worry about each handpass and each kick thinking that if he fluffed one he would be dropped. Fair dinkum that's exactly how the boy played. He seemed so concerned about making an error the hesitation would kill him.
Now we have replaced a 22 year old KPP with a 29 year old ill disciplined one dimensional forward that could possibly be a bad influence on the only other Maori in the team, Martin.
Great decision RFC!
-
LMFAO at people blaming the Club, blaming Miller, blaming this that and everything else :lol the kid was a dud period!!! If we had of given him 20 games last year the same people would have accused the club of gifting games to player :lol The fact that we couldn't trade him shows that there are 17 other clubs out there that also see the same floors in him that we do......He's gone, Time to move on.....

I don't understand how the club couldn't see this. It's so obvious he can play and its so obvious he has skill. It was even more obvious when he gave off a bad kick or handball it was from a player who has been waiting 15 weeks to get back in the team. I'm positive there was something behind the scenes which prevented him getting games. If he was at Hawthorn he'd be on 50 games with a bright future. Something stinks at tigerland still. What stinks more is supporters who were too blind to see this and wanted him gone too

Dud is a dumb word. Reckon Post had more upside than Astbury. Maybe even more than Griffiths

Yep, the difference is they are still on the list and Post is gone ;) Do you not find it funny that no one else wanted him either??

Maybe it is you who cannot see the forrest for the trees or simply you refuse to see what others have including those it would seem at the club. I don't know why you are fixated on this "something going on behind the scenes" nonsense. Have you for one minute thought they just didn't rate him or got sick of his lack of intensity, lack of mongrel, his unwillingness to attack the contest, his pulling out of contests?
Any player can have all the skill in the world but if they don't have the want, the intensity, a single mindedness, the drive and the application then it means ZERO. More often than not they will fail
Seems it's very easy to blame everyone else but not the said player. But perhaps just perhaps the player should shoulder some of the blame as well.

He seemed so concerned about making an error the hesitation would kill him.
Now we have replaced a 22 year old KPP with a 29 year old ill disciplined one dimensional forward that could possibly be a bad influence on the only other Maori in the team, Martin.
Great decision RFC!
I don't understand how the club couldn't see this. It's so obvious he can play and its so obvious he has skill. It was even more obvious when he gave off a bad kick or handball it was from a player who has been waiting 15 weeks to get back in the team. I'm positive there was something behind the scenes which prevented him getting games. If he was at Hawthorn he'd be on 50 games with a bright future. Something stinks at tigerland still. What stinks more is supporters who were too blind to see this and wanted him gone too
If Hawthorn think he is any good they will draft him in a couple of weeks. Watch this space..............

Would have kept post ... Better than astbury.... And more upside than mguane white and hackson

:rollin Yeah he showed that in 2012. ::) Wouldn't have got a game had Grimes not been injured. He attacked the ball with intensity and looked like a real AFL player ONCE last season which was a brief moment against the Bombers in round 22. It stood out so much that it made people think who the hell was that?? Surely that wasn't Post.
-
he will be picked up else where be injected with confidence and become a good player
hardwick had no idea how to get the best out of post
facts are mguane white hackson etc dont deserve to be on our list over post
post has more upside and a hot mum

Post may pull a rookie spot somewhere if he's lucky. He obviously has some serious floors in his game, good luck to him at his next club if he can find one.....
-
his flaws are he was never allowed to settle, gain confidence
he actually started showing a towards the end of season
but i guess getting a drunk like edwards is better
-
but i guess getting a drunk like edwards is better
Sadly for Post and the club, yes.
I really wanted him to make it and when we first got him I was thinking he could have been a replacement for Richo with his rumoured strong hands and good leap. Sadly, the strong hands turned out to be a myth at the top level as he rarely dominated in the air or took a bag of good contested marks.
-
Better than astbury....
What on earth are you basing that one? Seriously, please explain. He is older, has played more games, has had far less injuries and has still shown less than Astbury.
Astbury will be all right. You'l see.
The fact that Post was delisted and not traded speaks for itself.
-
He just doesn't have the goods he doesn't even dominate the level below, why are people carrying on like we have just delisted the second coming?
-
I'd prefer to have Ronnie B playing in our backline than Post and thats saying something!
Owl, Post is more coming second than second coming. ;D
-
Who cares which out of Post, McGuane and White got to stay? They probably drew a name out of a hat thinking "who cares, next season they are all gone." :cheers
-
I got the feeling that Post did not like the physical stuff or body contact too much.
-
I got the feeling that Post did not like the physical stuff or body contact too much.
He was getting into it late in the season though. Kept his oponents to small scores. With a good run of games I'm confident he would have been in our best 22. The club wasn't willing to give him a real good run of 10 plus though. If Asbury or Griffiths were fit they would have got that run. Too many talls on the list once we got Chaplin

If Post was good enough there would be no need for Chaplin.
If Post was good enough Griff would have played CHF especially after Vickery's season ended.
If Post was good enough he would have taken his opportunity presented in Round 1 this year.
If Post was good enough he would have taken his opportunity and played more than 30 games out of a possible 88 in four seasons, especially under Dimma's tenure.
If Post was good enough he would not be a delisted footballer.
Sorry to say kid did not impress me. To me on field he lacked motivation,drive, energy, toughness, combativeness, presence and composure. All key requirements for AFL footy let alone someone required to play KPP. THis time next year he would be another McGuane and on the footy scrap heap.

Never draft a 19 yo playing u18 again

Post joins reigning premier
From: Leader
November 15, 2012 2:16PM
JAYDEN Post is the latest big name to hook up with a Western Region Football League club.
The key position prospect will return to reigning Division 1 premier Altona after being delisted by Richmond this year.
Post, who notched 30 AFL games across four seasons, opted against nominating for the coming AFL Drafts.
The 22-year-old will add versatility to Altona’s talent-laden side, after the club claimed its first premiership in the top grade this season.
“One of the great things about Posty is that he has the ability to play in a number of roles,’’ Vikings coach Anthony Eames said.
“We certainly know how strong he is overhead, he has a wonderful running capacity and a great work ethic. I think all those things combined, at 195cm, probably opens the door for us to do a number of things.’’
Eames said the signing of Post would not provide an instant recipe for further success.
A leadership role for Post is yet to be considered, but Eames said the former Western Jets best and fairest winner would not be burdened by an official tag.
Post also trained with Altona a handful of time this year while at Richmond.

great work ethic.
:laugh:

WTF? :huh
-
Proving he has great work ethic. Training for both Altone and RFC. That's dedication and he should have been given 3 years by Craig Cameron. I think Craig thought about it but Posty wanted to retire

Should've nominated for the draft. Someone would have picked him up.

Everything you need to know is in that sentence.
-
Well there you go
I actually thought the club should've given him a year but that sentence as you say says it all
It reeks of weak ticker and a bloke who doesn't really want to play in the big league
Good luck to him anyway we move on
-
Must have had enough of training hard for little reward
-
Twitter is not the most reliable source.

Perhaps but I would think the article on the previous page from the local Leader quoting Altona's coach would mean it's true

Terrific, just terrific TM ::)
-

True but in this case, that quote was retweeded by Post himself.
-
Must have had enough of training hard for little reward
He was given games and opportunity. What more reward does he require?
Not the RFC's fault if he was either not good enough or not willing to grasp his chance once it was presented.
If he wanted more money then he needed to to the hard work to begin with.
Kid's like Cotch and Lids are very talented and appear to be given more and get things easier than say a less talented Matt White or Jayden Post. Make no mistake though, Cotch and Lids have worked very hard to get to where they are.
If it is that Post was simply not good enough then I'm sorry for him but that's life really. He was good enough to get on an AFL list, something most of us will never be.

The problem was pretty much all his games were near the end of each season. Not a confidence builder.
-
Another pre-dimma draft mistake. Couldn't believe it when they called out his name and not McKernan's.
-

No it wasn't. The problem was he wasn't good enough for a number of reasons. Every other club knew and he knew it, hence no trade and no draft nomination. In life every person will rise until they find their own level of mediocrity and Post found his at the top level of football. He wasn't the first and he certainly won't be the last.
-

I'm not sure it can be classed as a mistake just yet......Post has played twice as many games and you couldn't say McKernan is exactly setting the world on fire ;D

Good post. Couldn't agree more. The excuses made for Post ring hollow.
-

Alot of his 30 games were in the second half of the season...but last year his first game was round 1. he was torn to shreds. carlton had hampson (from memory) on him and continually went to him or whoever was playing on Post as their avenue to goal.
It was not surprising to see him banished to coburg.
At the end of the year he was serviceable without being stellar but that was cos grimes was out injured.
It is a shame cos he came to us with big wraps on his marking.
I remember him running up the wing in one of his first games...looked great...think he stuffed the kick though
Good luck Jayden...
-
Why isn't he playing VFL!!??!!??

He played a bad one Round 1. Oh no. Shoenmakers has played 10 of those

Dude, buy an Altona membership next season and get over it. There is allot to be said that he didn't even try to give himself a second chance :whistle :whistle

Just goes to show how good a judge both Wallet and I are..... :-[. There is more that could be said about Post and his selection but I am from Altona and won't dance on his AFL grave....Let's just say he is where he belongs and I am not being sarcastic.

just his level of intensity.

For a variety of reasons, yes.

How is the intensity different from AFL? Is everyone talented but soft in their league?

Well you must have NFI then (unless you want to reveal these reasons). Anyone who played 30 games of AFL and is good at VFL level is most definitely above local football. Being from his home town doesn't give you any extra knowledge about him as a footballer.
-
intensity is not about being soft.
Every level of football you go up the level of intensty goes up.
Post is obviously happy to play football where he can play in cruise mode and have an impact still.
Good luck to him.

Where have I referenced his ability in relation to his Football level of choice. Stop putting words into my mouth. And BTW I do more than live in the area when it comes to the Altona Football Club.

Damn this kid has frustrated me ..he is built like adonis can take a big mark and can thump the ball long.you would think after being dumped by the Tiges he would bust his nut to make a point.But alas he has chosen the option of playing in the burbs

Are you serious, guy? Of course the intensity level is higher at AFL level but that's not even the point. Intensity has a lot to do with how you attack the contest, chase, tackle etc. You're telling me Post is now at his level now because you think the intensity is lower? He is going to have stick his head over it at some stage next year with a 100 kilo bloke waiting to smash him. That doesn't change at any level of football you play at. I doubt Posty would have much trouble going back with the flight if he knew it was only Stephen Hill getting ready to put a knee in his back. Post's problem at AFL level was his intensity so how is suddenly going to look like he is a gun? It has everything to do with the fact he will just be a flat out better player than those he is up against. He can get away with being soft at a lower level but that doesn't mean he's not good enough to continue running around in the VFL. Even if he doesn't play with intensity he is still a very talented bloke that would get a game for just about any club in Australia that isn't in the AFL

You said Altona is where he belongs for a variety of reasons. It ain't his level, it's just where he wants play mate. WGAF what you have to do with Altona?
"won't dance on his AFL grave....Let's just say he is where he belongs and I am not being sarcastic." So what was your point with this comment?? If you come back with "I was only pointing out that it's where he belongs because he wants to be there" then you'd be FOS because that isn't dancing on someones grave. So reveal those reasons, Ruanadih
-
i have never said he was not talented.
strangely enough, we seem to be saying a similar thing just using different language
-
I don't know what we're arguing about. I'm saying Altona isn't his level. VFL/SANFL/WAFL is his level of footy IMO. Intensity is what stopped him from becoming more at AFL level but he can still get by in other good leagues despite lacking intensity

All need to chillout, good luck to the kid and his future Endeavours whatever they might be...

I wouldn't say extremely ordinary, but certainly no better than average. That means that you need to have lots of ticker, and agree that, yep, he has none.
I also agree that it's time to move on. Further discussion should be in the 'Old Footballers - Whatever happened to' thread.

I have been nothing short of poor tonight. You're correct there, DCrane. Still Ruinadih is having a shocker too so I'm not doing too badly ;D
-
It's OK you haven't lost me Coach. Bit harsh on Ruanaidh tonight though. You're supposed to be a father figure in here :bow
But it's all over with Posty. I liked him too, but this career is over and it seems now will be forgotten pretty quickly.
-
Apologies to Ruanaidh for me being a bit of knob tonight ;D Even the best fathers can lose their way at times. Just ask my mate Josef...
Fair enough. The 9th Post certainly caused some activity on this forum. For that he should be applauded :clapping

Clearly the demands of professional footy wasn't for Postie and that's why he's off to Altona to play with his mates. He's not the first nor will he be that last footballer to do that. He was on the borderline anyway so he made the decision to delist him easier for the Club. We reached for him at pick 26 in the 2008 draft because we had traded away pick 43 for Adam Thomson :scream and no way was Postie going to slip through to pick 58 which we wasted anyway on Hislop. Just shows again how one recruiting mistake can be compounded to a number of mistakes that result in a poor recruiting effort. Vickery and Nahas are the only ones now left from that 2008 trade/draft period.

Clearly the demands of professional footy wasn't for Postie and that's why he's off to Altona to play with his mates. He's not the first nor will he be that last footballer to do that. He was on the borderline anyway so he made the decision to delist him easier for the Club.

Could've had Vickery, Beams, Rockliff, Barlow, and Nahas.
