« Last post by Tiger Khosh on November 26, 2025, 11:51:44 AM »If you’re asking why he got a 2 year extension vs a 1 year extension that’s a fair question. My only response to that is that it doesn’t really show a lot of faith in the coach if you’re only extending 12months.

Hopefully a couple seasons left.
2. Sims.
3. Hayes-Brown
Getting better. 63 hit-outs one vfl game, others 40+
4. Ryan.
Obviously limited but as fine the 4th ruck for one more year.
Fawcett. Lefau break glass emergency options. I don't see the point of another stop gap ruck ahead of a kid with upside.
All that said they prob take Burton.
Nank established but ageing and gets quite beat up most years.
The idea that our #2 ruck is a teenager with 1 year under his belt and coming off surgery is concerning.
OHB untried at AFL level altogether.
Ryan with clear deficiencies and not looking promising at all.
Fawcett in the ruck?
Lefau also coming off another injury-riddled year.
I don't agree that we're set to go or that an 18yo undrafted kid is the answer for the medium term. We would definitely benefit from having a bloke aged 23-28 on the list with some proper ruck experience.
The bookmakers have Richmond finishing last.
What is the point of a 28 year old state league ruck currently?

Nank a few seasons so where is his replacement?
Sims is a key fwd who can pinch hit ruck, from the clubs mouth.
OH-B is quite literally still a rank long shot despite some improvement. yes about all he does is get hit outs.
Ryan is a dinosaur and already a bust imo. Low no agility cant mark not at afl level and still gets pushed around like a rag doll.
Atm there is 31 yo Nankervis and then day light.
We need both a junior genuine ruckman who has a footy background and we also need a mature back up for Nankervis.
It would allow us to pee off both Ryan and OH-B.
You can't have two rucks because there is one list spot left. The only other spot is catB which would have Andy continuing to cry about a basketball or rugby player again.
Obviously you can get new players including rucks in the future. What a mind bogglingly obvious point.
The point is now the player should be a 18/19 year old ruck to develop and add to the young stocks.
There is the opportunity to try to add Kras and hope he develops into a O'Brien/xerri/Reeves/English/Briggs/marshall etc. type homegrown.
It doesn't matter what the horse says. Sims was clearly the #2 ruck as shown by the stats.

« Last post by Hard Roar Tiger on November 26, 2025, 09:13:03 AM »I think we all agree with that sentiment Camboon, I don’t think you need to sign him for 3 more years to achieve that.
Like I have said, copy the model of the Dockers with Longmuir, far more progressive, achieving the same outcome.
He was signed for 2 more years not 3, still had 1 left on his original contract.
Exactly
2026 Final year of his contract and they've added a further 2 years
I have 2 points:-
1) We don’t really know a whole lot about Yze as coach. We cannot say he’s the answer yet and we cannot say he is not the answer - jury is out.
2) Noone can really articulate why based on point 1) on what basis he therefore qualifies to coach for another 3 years by being extended by 2 years
Therefore:-
Why extend him? Is there not a better mechanism than that?
All other points about the hand he has been dealt with are fine but no new coach (except Chris Scott) inherites a set and forget team.

Not seen a lot be enthused about but cattle can do that. Won't matter who is coach until we get 20 odd players to to 80 -100 games plus. Thats another 5 seasons away at least.
Looks to be an interim coach atm.

Geez i hate players like him.

Not interested in him his baby or his family life. The only thing about him im interested in is his footy so i will stick to the loser comments and comment on what this site is about footy.
