I will confess I get a bit frustrated with these special deals to get people to joing or renew

They've got some other thing going called postcode bingo that is another incentive to get people to renew and sign up...

Just seems to me that they take people who renew and year after year get forgotten and taken for granted

Just reckon it's poor form

How have the AFL not confirmed sales date for round 1 tickets???

Someone on reddit posted that they would go on sale 11th of Feb but I found it hard to believe it wouldn’t have been officially announced by now if that were the case.

They haven't announced it

Silly State of Origin is their focus at the moment

Reckon they will announce it next Monday

Young coaching minds driving Tiger growth

Adem Yze reveals how Richmond’s new coaching staff is fast-tracking player development.

"We just expect to get better,” coach Adem Yze told SEN.

“There were KPI’s that we weren’t good enough at last year, and we just expect growth, whether that’s from our coaching staff or playing group.

“We went out of our way this year to bring in some younger coaches to really bolster our development space, so we brought in Luke Breust, Taylor Duryea and Jack Madgen.

“My job is to get our players better, so as a team, we want to improve systematically, but at the same time, individually, we want to improve.

“Last year we tried really hard. Our attitude and effort, I couldn’t question it, but at times it was our execution that wasn’t as good as the better teams.”

With the start of the 2026 season less than a month away, Yze was asked what the goal was for the Club as he embarks on his third season at the helm.

“For our younger group, you are teaching them about the process,” Yze said.

“Whether you have a really good win, we just have to be honest in the way we review every game.

“We aren’t going to put a ceiling on how many wins we will have, but we want to get better, and we expect our players to get better, and we expect to be really competitive.

“We want to be in games for longer. Against the good teams last year, we weren’t good enough. We were competitive against the teams who were around the same mark as us on the ladder, but we really want to test some of the better teams in the comp.”

Yze provides Balta update

SEN
9 Feb 2026


Yze confirmed Balta has been training as a centre half-back and will play in that position this season, after he was used in both the attacking and defensive areas last year.

“That's where (centre half-back) he plays his best footy, and he's such a good leader down there,” Yze said.

“If you're witnessing training, he sees the game really well, he's a general down back, and the way he helps our younger key defenders is second to none.

“He understands last year was horrendous. He really put himself behind the eight ball by the indiscretion that he had, and by doing that, throwing him around was kind of his own doing.

“This year, we want to really reward him for having a good pre-season, but at the same time, playing in the position that he's really, really good at. He’s going to hopefully hold that position down back with Ben Miller and be really stable for us.”

"100-something days off and train for 24."

Adem Yze doesn't think he gets enough time with his players during the pre-season.

“So excited”: Yze bullish on Gibcus after strong pre-season

By SEN
9 Feb 2026


Richmond coach Adem Yze is really excited about what defender Josh Gibcus could produce in 2026.

The 22-year-old has endured a horrid injury run since his impressive first year in the AFL in 2022, missing all of 2023 due to a recurring hamstring injury before tearing his ACL in 2024.

That injury ruled him out for most of 2025, until he finally made his return at the top level against Geelong in Round 24.

Having played just one game since March in 2024, Gibcus will feel like a new recruit for the Tigers in 2026, and Yze expects him to flourish with some luck this time around.

“He’s going really well,” Yze told SEN Fireball.

“He obviously played a handful of games late last year. I was really eager to get him into the AFL team, especially for that last game, just to have a sense of what it was, get the feeling and the speed of the game again.

“I wanted to make sure he knew that he was an AFL player. He’d be out of the system and out of the game for two years. I wanted him to get that feeling to go away over pre-season as an AFL player.

“He has come back really fit; he did some off-season running, he has got some belief in his body, so he’s starting to really see the benefits of that, and so are we.

“I’m so excited for him, I keep touching wood every time I talk about him, but he just needs some luck. He is a highly talented kid, really driven, and he really deserves that luck.

“You’ll see him in the next few weeks when we start playing against opposition.”

Gibcus will hope to line up for Richmond when they face Carlton in Round 1 at the MCG on Thursday, March 12.
