Richmond Rant / Re: 2024 AFL draft
« Last post by WilliamPowell on Yesterday at 07:18:29 AM »Don't we have at least one rookie spot free after passing on our last pick last night?Do we have any more list spots? Rookies??Yep. Rookie draft tomorrow starting around midday. Not sure how many picks we'll have and use.
we have zero spots available
By my count, we’ve got 36 on the primary list and 7 rookies. So we’ve got 1 spot left but didn’t the club say when we announced our delistings that we would re-rookie Colina? If that’s the case then I think that’s it.
Colina is already be re-rookied. Cat B rookie so outside the main lists (primary & rookie)

Richmond Rant / Re: Pick 58: Jasper Alger
« Last post by Hard Roar Tiger on Yesterday at 04:27:03 AM »I love this pick because it was for a player we just had to have! Blair trading back into the draft to get a player they were thinking of taking in the twenties. The best part of claiming this small little star is that it fills another need. In one draft, we now have what other teams have tried to assemble through the draft over half a decade.
We now have three mids: one player maker, one inside bull and one elusive outside creator.
We also have two key forwards (& a half): one aggro tall beast and one explosive marking lead.
Add to this a interceptor marking defender, a agile ruck/forward and a clever small crumber.
So all in all, we have addressed all of our fundamental needs in one draft (and mostly in one draft round).
It's hard not be feel excited about the future.
Been a while Stripes. As always, a great post.

Richmond Rant / Re: List analysis
« Last post by Siberian on November 21, 2024, 11:20:23 PM »Dammit your probably rightDon't disagree on Ryan's best position but I think the draft strategy is vote of no confidence in our current crop of tallsImagine Ryan as your number 1 ruck, can't say I can see it happening, hope he comes goodIf I was Kossi, Ryan, Lefau, Gray, Miller Blight or Young I would want to ge a kick next year, they won't all be there come 2027
We only got one KPD so the backs won't be as worried as the forwards, we also only drafted a hybrid forward/undersized ruck with Ryan contracted for three years as Nank edges towards the end with only a couple of cat B basketballers behind him and any list should have at least three rucks. Lefau can also play in the guts - Fawcett, Gray. & Kosi the most under pressure I'd say.
Last game notwithstanding his best AFL games have been when Nank was out and. he was the #1 ruck.
Maybe so but seeing as we only just gave Ryan a 3 year extension a few month backs, I'd say, rightly or wrongly, he clearly wasn't one of the subjects of that no confidence vote.
And Young is getting upgraded this year coming off a knee so someone is in his corner
Bad news for Gray and Kossi at least
