Six big decisions for the rebuilding Tigers AFL.com.au
5 July 2016BRING on the rebuild at Richmond and the time for a few decisions.
In no particular order:
1. Ben Griffiths or Tyrone Vickery? The Tigers can't play them both
2. Assuming Ivan Maric gives it away, who will become their No.1 ruckman? Shaun Hampson is OK, but do they have a crack at Majak Daw or Jarrod Witts and offer them long-term deals?
3. How can they bring Dion Prestia to the club without further weakening their 2016 draft? They've already dealt their second round pick away in trade maneuverings for Chris Yarran.
4. Shaun Grigg. Bachar Houli. Reece Conca. Taylor Hunt. And even Shane Edwards. Are they in the next Richmond premiership team? If not, do they move them on?
5. Liam McBean. Can he play? Give him a few weeks to prove it.
6. The coach still has two more years to go, but is the mix right with the rest of the coaching staff?
Friday night against Port Adelaide was an elimination final in July for the Tigers, but they came up well short and now they're done for 2016. But the next eight weeks are as important as any we can remember in Damien Hardwick's seven years in charge.
