Would've like to have seen Lennon given one more year as an on-baller but hardly surprised... just a shame we couldn't have at least got something for a bloke who was the best field kick on our list....

At least it's freed up two more spots - hopefully for Derek Smith & Tom McCartin.....and a potential  2 more spots if Miles & Lloyd don't re-sign (or is Lloyd still contracted?)....

Could rookie list Lennon

Both were at risk of being delisted at the start of the year. Is there room on the list for them to be rookie listed?

Fair dinkum how many times do we have to repeat it

Do not any way shape or form post anything that implies either directly or indirectly anything to do with the photo saga

Simple I would have thought

So seeing people don't seem to get it and are struggling with it

the next person who does will be suspended under the 3 strikes policy

Clear enough for everyone this time  :banghead :banghead

Weird, I'm sure neither of them were the girl in the photo but I can't be too sure of that...

On another note, this is truly a sad day for all Richmond supporters as we say goodbye to our most highly regarded OER favourite player, and inaugural OER official sponsored player, and wish him all the best. Hopefully we re-sign him as a VFL player if no other club have a crack

Agree whole hardheartedly, is a fine young man and a gun footballer but unfortunately the class of the RFC backline kept him out.

Is that supposed to be funny? A bit of sarcastic wit perhaps?

We made it very clear that no one was to under any circumstances make reference to who the player was

Someone posted a reference in this thread and it's been deleted. So clearly there are folks on here that simply dont get it

I honestly think that's a shame about Batchelor. Clearly not best 22 but was great in the magoos and couldn't have done anything else. I thought he was handy coverage for an injury to a few in our back line given his versatility. It's not like we've got defenders lining up out the door.

Unfortunately for him we do. Cannot play as a KPP in the seniors and as a third up we have Markov, Menadue and Short ahead of him. Nice guy though.

I am confused, so under three strikes, I can say that wassis name is the boob shot offender twice before I get a paddling or have these bastards already used up my chances?  If so, I am extremely disturbed that someone else can use up my strikes because Ox will get us all suspended in one post.

I don't think of those guys as defenders at all in the sense that Batchelor is. He's a medium sized defender/stopper, those others are just flankers. Maybe we're confident of a target in the draft.


On another note, just saw the Hawks cut Hartung. Has pace to burn. Didn't watch enough of their games this season to see what happened but I thought they had big wraps on him only a season or two ago.

What if we self report? Does that count as a strike?

I agree, but probably a sign that the Tigers are very comfortable with the current gameplan. Just can't see how he could fit in to the team playing the way we did this season without a shocking injury toll decimating our backline.

I hoped we'd keep him, but I figure there are too many ahead of him now.

Hartung makes Ellis and Houli look like tough guy enforcers.....

These latest delistings leaves Miles, Townsend and (according to the AFL website (http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-10-19/left-in-limbo-the-big-names-who-werent-traded)) Drummond as uncontracted Tigers.

Title: Re: Lennon and Batchelor gonski
Post by: Diocletian on October 27, 2017, 12:22:50 AM
Thought Drummond signed another one-year extension earlier this year?

Didn't see the post, don't care what it said, but surely even you can understand (not necessarily enjoy) some obvious light hearted humour to the fact you made another snip related to it. I didn't make any references to which player is involved nor did I criticise your snip (like I said, I didn't even see the post). No need to get those frilly panties in a knot

Ex-Tiger Jake Batchelor is a target for the Dollies [Frankston]. Would be a super pick-up.

If he is not picked up another AFL club I would have thought multiple VFL clubs would be chasing his signature.

I always thought Ben Lennon wasn't given much of a go, number 7 draft pick wasn't he?

YEp that's why Frankston are chasing hard, would be a massive coup for them for the first season back

I hope he is but I'd be surprised if he gets another AFL gig

So in retrospect he didn't take his opportunities or he just wasnt good enough?

Post by: tony_montana on November 15, 2017, 09:07:49 AM
Personally I think he wasnt good enough, but also didnt do enough to demand more opportunities - time will tell whether hes given another opportunity elsewhere

Big, strong, great hands and best field kick on the list, I'd rookie him and play him mainly as an on-baller....though if it came down to a choice between him and ,say, Jonty Scharenberg, would be inclined to take the latter....

Wouldn't it be great to grab Scharenberg and have him develop into a fine player.

Would put Crows fans into the most massive tail-spin.
