The new additions.

I guess with crisis comes opportunity.....How good do Balta, Ross and Stack look !!!!

Both Ross and Stack look like 100 game players already .

Balta looks like he could be absolutely anything.

The other new addition T .Lynch could be handy too  ;)

Exciting times ahead.

If we can only just keep adding to the list each year discarding the lesser like players (ie. B.Ellis) to teams like Freo and Norf so we can continue to be a premiership threat.

Luckily we have some quality recruiters now and ofcoarse let’s not forget our development squad on the Gold Coast.  :rollin

Resigned myself to losing Bolton so won't be that upset if he goes particularly if he keeps increasing his trade value and if he stays it will be a pleasnt surprise...more worried about Balta who's currently holding off on re-signing....word is he rates himself very highly -which is fine when you can back it up and I think he can....if anything we need more players with that kind of super-confident mindset...  :shh

Do you reckon we will lose Bolton?

If he keeps emerging like he has this season, and had any sense, he'd stay for a couple more years and cement himself as an AFL player then move.

I have a really good contact close to his family here in WA, and they haven't said anything recently that would suggest he is looking to move. I must admit, I haven't asked about him specifically though, just some of the other kids at the club (mainly Stack).

Sudden impact - who's made the biggest splash at your club?

RICHMOND

The Tigers were all in on Operation Tom Lynch and it was successful, acquiring the key forward from Gold Coast while adding four 18-year-olds in the draft and another two rookies in the Supplementary Selection Period (SSP).

Tom Lynch: After a long summer of speculation, Lynch took his place in the round one side despite having been restricted by a knee injury over pre-season. He has played all five games, kicking 16 goals and is second in the Coleman medal. The recruit has been a vital pick-up given fellow spearhead Jack Riewoldt's wrist injury, which has seen him miss three matches. Lynch's best performance was a six-goal haul from just 10 touches in the round four upset win over Port Adelaide.

Who else has played? Richmond has seen two impressive debuts already. SSP signing Sydney Stack finished with 17 disposals, eight marks and a goal playing at half-back in round three, while draftee onballer Jack Ross had 25 (including 10 contested possessions) in round four. Mav Weller played in rounds one and two before the return of the injured Josh Caddy.

Yet to play:
Jake Aarts (rookie), Riley Collier-Dawkins, Luke English, Fraser Turner - Sarah Black
