If he can't make it but still feels he can play at the top level it's an option. More likely to go home though (if he doesn't make it at RFC)

Former Oakleigh Chargers player and assistant coach Leigh Clarke has taken the coaching reins of the TAC Cup side.

Clarke returns after a year at Richmond as the Tigers VFL forward line coach.

Essendon VFL, Richmond VFL, Williamstown and Box Hill all keen on Frankston ace Ben Cavarra. But will an interstate club rookie him? Hope so.

Very nice pick-up for Richmond VFL in North Albury midfielder Shaun Mannagh. Played under Jason Akermanis and kicked 36 goals this year.

[Yeahright]

Does he train well? How's his autograph? Does he pat you on the head when you follow him through the car park?

Two new VFL Tigers

Richmond’s VFL side has signed former Brisbane Lion Hugh Beasley and ex-Frankston inside midfielder Brandon Wood.

Beasley, a key-defender, joins the VFL Tigers after spending two seasons on the Lions list.

The 21-year-old played six AFL matches for Brisbane in 2015, before he experienced an injury interrupted year in 2016.

He played seven matches at North East Australian Football League level, then was delisted by the Lions at the season’s end.

The former Oakleigh Charger was recruited to Brisbane with pick No. 22 at the 2015 AFL Rookie Draft.

Richmond’s VFL and development coach Craig McRae said Beasley was an agile and competitive footballer.

“Hugh is and experienced and talented key-position player,” McRae said.

“He is athletic, quick, competitive and good in one-on-one contests and we think he will be a real asset for our backline.”

Wood, 23, joins the VFL Tigers after spending two years with the Dolphins.

A strong bodied player, in season 2016 he averaged 24 disposals, 12 contested possessions and seven clearances.

The former Eastern Ranges captain also recorded a season-high 17 clearances against Collingwood in Round 15.

“Brandon will not only bring strength to our midfield, but he brings great leadership qualities to our side,” McRae said.

“He is a tough player and we look forward to seeing him and Hugh in yellow and black in season 2017.”

The VFL Tigers have finalised their coaching panel and the playing squad is starting to take shape ahead of season 2017.

Craig McRae returns as Richmond’s VFL and development coach, while Ryan Ferguson will again be responsible for the backline.

Former NT Thunder senior coach and ex-St Kilda and Brisbane Lions utility Xavier Clarke will take the reins from Andrew McQualter as midfield coach for the upcoming season.

McQualter was appointed as an assistant coach to Damien Hardwick and will be responsible for midfield stoppage and structure at AFL level.

Tom Hunter has taken over as forwards coach after having a midfield role in 2016, with Ben Waite assuming the position as VFL midfield stoppage coach.

Waite played for the VFL Tigers in 2014, then spent the past two seasons as a senior coach in the North East Australian Football League (NEAFL).

Marc Sophoulis will continue in his position as VFL development coach.

While the coaching panel has been confirmed, the VFL squad is starting to take shape as the pre-season campaign heats up.

McRae currently has 38 players in his VFL squad, including 12 re-signed players from 2016.

Following a strong debut season for the VFL Tigers, former GWS Giant and Bulldog Sam Darley returns as captain.

Darley joins Jacob Ballard, Tom Langford, Jake Aarts, Tom Silvestro, Daniel Coffield, James Fletcher, Anthony Scott, Ash Morris, Matt Troutbeck, Antony Forato and Lachlan McKenzie as re-signed players for 2017.

Ryan Gale, Ryan Bathie, Tyson Kruse, Jonathan Daggian and Jack Holden have returned to Punt Road Oval as part of the pre-season squad.

Former Brisbane Lion Hugh Beasley and ex-Frankston inside midfielder Brandon Wood are among the new faces this pre-season.

Best on ground in the 2016 Peninsula Football League grand final, Brenton Credlin, is training with the VFL Tigers after spending last season with Frankston YCW.

Former Frankston forward Jayden Cass and ex-Dandenong Stingray and Vic Country representative Thomas Jok are also vying for a spot on the list, alongside North Albury’s Shaun Mannagh, 19, and West Coburg’s Danko Bzenic, 21.

The Tigers’ VFL list of 24 players will be finalised in March.

Richmond VFL has a nice prospect on the track in Kyneton's Max O'Sullivan, the Bendigo league's 2016 Rising Star recipient.

Tom Jok from Dandenong Stingrays and St Kevin's VAFA 2016 b & f Billy Coates are also trying their luck under Craig McRae at Richmond VFL.
