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.

I'll be honest with ya , I  could not give a rats about the specifics. The overarching point is that while hodge was a great leader and player he is far from a choir boy and there is no reason balta and miller could not be leaders of the standard is troy Chaplin.

Vlastuin. Broad. Short. Is way too many old people in the back6 given the clubs position and timeline.

Spits BS conjecture, accusing people of driving systemic levels of racism, claiming to understand intimate social dynamics between other people etc etc.

Then follow up with 'I could not give a rats about the specifics'.
