How are Petterd's achilles? He was going to train with us but ended up not doing it due to injury apparently. No point picking up someone who can no longer get on the park.

Some were saying this was a smokescreen. I personally I rate Petterd. Was poorly coached in the past and given little or no direction. Under Hardwick he could be a real gem for us.
Worse options out there, I think he has some promise.

agree wholeheartedly, would hate it to be a wasted pick.

Richmond appears to be warming towards former Geelong player Orren Stephenson as back-up for ruckman Ivan Maric.

The Tigers are likely to select him in the rookie draft.

It means delisted Collingwood ruckman Cameron Wood will be overlooked.

Stephenson, Wood, former Melbourne forward Ricky Petterd and ex-Gold Coast Sun Josh Toy have been training with the Tigers.

Perhaps Wayne was at the time? No doubt he will be our next coach if Dimma fails.
I would have thought Mark Choco Williams would get the job. We wouldn't get a untried coach to follow another (Dimma). It's the way footy clubs think. I am not endorsing that view just saying what I feel the club will do if we are ever in that position. Hopefully we are never in that position.

No chance. Campbell will be coach of Richmond one day, it's just a matter of when.
While I do not disagree that he may be coach one day, I am not sure if he will be the next coach.

He will be. It's the way she goes ;D

I will spew if we pick up Maric not up to it and no heart at all waste of a pick.Would rather Central District ruckman Jack Hannath only 22 and had a great season in the SANFL.Orren Stephenson  did hold is own tho for the 8 games he played for the cats and at times showed more then West and kept Simpson out from the side to I thought he was a bit harsh to get the chop.He would be my second choice.On Stephenson what a his weakness and strengths and weaknesses ?. Is Anthony Tipungwuti  a chance to come to us so much Xfactor and would rather him then Maric.

Tuesday (Dec 11).

What time?

No idea but according to rogerd3's info it sounds like no.

RICHMOND:
Weirdly enough, the tigers have a preseason pick, however are opting to by-pass that. They will reselect Adam Maric.
