Richmond Rant / Re: Richmond in 2026 will have the 3rd youngest & inexperienced list (AFL site)
« Last post by Hard Roar Tiger on Today at 01:14:27 PM »I am guessing that a player like KMac would be exhibit A to your point where he plays every game at 31 and then gets delisted. I am not sure of the value in playing a guy week in, week out in those circumstances.
I am an advocate - a huge one - for some of our best players from the flag era playing on and being on field mentors to our kids. I think Lynch is so important to Armstrong, Faull and even Sims over the next couple of years and they develop.
I don’t think they need to play every week and this is where Yze can perhaps be a little stronger in his coaching with both games played and playing time being tweaked to optimise the development of kids and them having the support of a handful of our premiership players while they are still fit and able.
While those stats are a useful reference, it is still only superficial and knowing how we are using our players on game day helps link the stats back to player role.
