Tom Sims - Ankle:

"Simsy is doing well. He underwent navicular stress fracture surgery at the end of last season after he also injured his elbow," he said.

"The elbow is all clear and the ankle is doing quite well now. So we expect him to do more running early next year. He'll be touch-and-go for Round 1, but is progressing well."

Wow.

Bang bang bang.

Just what we needed and hopefully it yields the results we want.

Great stuff.

Is it great that we have sacked a coach a few months after resigning him?
Or incompetent.

Can Eilish come back now the muppets have gone?

Let’s just offer the *checks notes* pick 18 that we got from them to get her back. How could they turn down such a lucrative offer for a player that just got best on ground in a grand final……

Great news. Let's hope they start to take this competition seriously and maybe more will also take it seriously too.

TIGERS POUNCE ON UNTAPPED ROO

Richmond has added youthful exuberance to its rebuild, finalising a trade with North Melbourne for Georgia Stubs on Friday morning.

The Kangaroos traded Stubs and a 2026 fourth-round pick to the Tigers in exchange for their 2026 fourth-rounder.

Stubs, the 30th pick in the 2023 national draft, wasn’t able to break into Darren Crocker’s back-to-back premiership lineup this season.

But the 20-year-old, after overcoming a fractured ankle that cruelled her campaign last year, is set to bring speed and explosiveness to Richmond’s midfield or half-backline.

A mature age ruck signed for the Richmond vfl side. That you were complaining his type not being given an afl spot ahead of two promising kids. Such is you list management levels of knowledge

Balta doesn't need to be in the leadership group officially to mentor the backline. The coach. Who I expect has more idea than you. Has praised balta leadership.

 " Yze said Balta's character in the team environment is one many of his players continue to look to, with his leadership skills a significant benefit for the group.

"He's such a good teammate," Yze continued.

"The players love having him around, part of the group, and he's a leader out there. "

So you admit to being full of S about me 'crying' that we didn't give a rookie spot to someone named Lowther?
I've identified a list need and I think the club is remiss for not addressing it. That's all.
But hey, if Nank goes down I'm sure Ryan (lol) and a teenage Sims will do the job. Or maybe that bloke in the VFL who hasn't had a sniff yet.


Yze isn't going to come out and say Balta needs a whack over the head sometimes, is he?
Of course he's a <insert cliche here>. Why not mention how hard he trains, all the muscle he's putting on over summer, best pre-season he's ever had, etc etc?

So when nankervis gets hurt and richmond play OHB/Ryan/balta etc. As a ruck Richmond might come bottom 2 instead of bottom 4?

Oh my goodness good point again

Yze says balta is a leader. Must be PC hogwash.

Rance says Chaplin isn't a soft gimp that's like playing  a man down and you believe that's gospel?

Remarkable.
