Knights is getting the chop too. Another who has offered nothing. Chris has a hand in the back at present & is gone after the finals like others pushed before him. Its the Richmond Way  He is being pushed out the door. Petterd's head has been chopped off already  :snidegrin l hear Astbury may get a slap in the face too.

Newman and Knights should retire also. Petterd should be delisted. I think about 5 changes this year is what we will see.

Would be a joke if that's all there was.

know im pretty much on my own here, but id like to see lloyd given a spell of games before he gets the arse. he has shown he can get into good spots, and while he has been guilty of rushing his kicks, this is not unusual for players adjusting to the tempo. he has also shown glimpses of decent skills and goal sense

Unfortunatly I can't see to many changes this season.
From all reports its a poo house draft with pretty much guess work after the first dozen players.
I'd like to see Knights moved to the rookie list.
Foley retired
Dea Retired
Newman Retired
Hampson Retired
Thats five off the main list without officially delisting anyone.
Unfirtunatly the rest of the spuds stay on😔

Gotta agree with ya Pene.  Lloyd is the one bloke on Petey's list that I'd keep.  I still hold some hope for Sam as a small forward ....     :pray

Arnot has been in the best for most of the year for the VFL side would be disappointed if they axe him. Astbury has been playing well in the VFL side and I doubt they would axe him given his versatility. Morris is a favourite of Hardwick so doubt he will be axed. Agree Petterd should go as well as Hampson.

Astbury is contracted for 2016, so unless he gets traded he wont be going anywhere

Ditto Hampson

With the draft depth not being great can see only about 5-6 changes

Gee we really do have a lot of dead wood on our list, combined with injuries i can see why we struggle

Last time I checked we were in the Top 8.
Having said that, hard to disagree with the sentiment.
List looks shaky when we are mentally soft as a group.
I think the bigger issue is why we go to custard when the opposition gets on a roll - ie melbourne, Bulldogs, Crows etc

great calls everyone pretty much all on the same thinking.
Pettard gone
Foley Gone
Gordon or Llyold one must go they have had plenty of chances its either one in one week and the other in the next
Arnott even thu rookie
Newman up in the air still
Ashbury need to re think maybe one year contract next year make or break
Dea time is up
Thomas rookie see yah later
Knights to injury prone
Morris being kept out of the team maybe one year deal???
The problem is if we want players into the club who can we really offer to trade??? Would any club want the above players

Who's contracted or not will have a big say who gets the chop. For example, Hampson is contracted for 2016  :scream :help. Then it comes down to how many draft picks we will want to have plus any free agents and traded players we pick up.

Contracts List:

2015: Dea, Gordon, Grigg, Grimes, Knights, Lennon, Lloyd, McDonough, Newman, Petterd.

2016: Astbury, Batchelor, Butler, Chaplin, Conca, Drummond, S.Edwards, C.Ellis, Griffiths, Hampson, Houli, Maric, McBean, McKenzie, Menadue, Vickery, Vlastuin

2017: Deledio, B.Ellis, Elton, Hunt, Martin, McIntosh, Miles, Morris

2019: Rance, Riewoldt

2020: Cotchin

Rookies: 

Matt Thomas - second year.
Matt Arnot - first year (previously on senior list).
Jayden Short - first year.
Jason Castagna - first year.
Kane Lambert - first year.
Ivan Soldo - first year (international/non-registered)

http://oneeyed-richmond.com/forum/index.php?topic=20680.msg457185#msg457185

Out:
Foley (retired)
Newman (retired)
Knights (retired)
Petterd (retired)
Dea (traded/delisted)
Gordon (traded/delisted)
Lloyd (traded/delisted)
Arnot* (delisted)

In (senior list):
Lambert* (promoted off rookie list)

I've got a feeling Thomas will be kept as a mature rookie for another year even though I would delist him.

So all up, that leaves 6 free spots on our senior list. Pick up a couple of free agents/trades and that will give us 4 draft picks.

Laughable. Dan Richardson should gtfo along with Hackson & Hartley.

And that's why they wont make a lot of changes. the draft is crap and they will stick with what they know. WP is 100% correct.

Does that include trades?

There's always talent to be found if you do your homework properly and look hard enough.....blokes like Shane Nelson from Claremont would be an upgrade on quite a few in our list IMO. Though I hope this isn't a repeat of 2013 when Hackson & Hartley talked down the quality of the draft all year and basically just gave up and we got one kid, Hamspud, Gordon & Lloyd. Anyone see Marsh for Collingwood tonight? Was pretty impressive. Wanted him with the pick we used on Lloyd - went 11 spots later at 77 incidently where Reece McKenzie went in last year's draft. (FWIW also wanted Darcy Byrne-Jones with the pick we used on Gordon)

i know this has been done to death, but richardson, (or any football manager,) does not make these decisions on his own. Hartly and dimma probably have the greatest input.

Hartly would have a big (possibly biggest) say but I don't think Dimma has much of a say. He'll throw his two bobs in but that would be it

Yep, Hartley has the biggest say.

Hartley decides who to sign & re-sign....Richardson decides for how long & for how much....

Even if Hamspud wasnt contracted who would we replace him with? We need ruck depth and ive heard nothing about soldano (sp?).  We need to draft a backup ruck if were turfing Hamspud.
