Natalie for me

Beast

His athletic powers would mix well with miles, vlastuin.


Would not sneeze at a Dangerfield or nicnat either.

I believe the club Is stagnating and requires an a grade recruit and new coach to bring in some hope

Fyfe won't leave WA , especially to play for a worse club, regardless of whether he supported us or not. If that was the case we'd have lured blokes like Crawford, Hodge & Scully over the years just to name a few.

Biggest trick we ever missed was not going fter Rhys-Jones when he left Sydney because we were too busy having a peeing contest with Collingwood. He also supported us as a kid but we were still a desirable destination back then.

Fyfe -FA
Vickery- bulddogs/brisbane for a young quality mid
Lids- gws for Cameron plus a pick of some sort
Draft kids ffs!!! And quality for that matter

Retire: newy, king, stephenson
Delist: etc, etc

You get my point, we dont need to rebuild per se, but need to re structure this list. Lackin midfield depth, junior ruck, and kpf and kpd.

Lets get stuffing moving ppl  :clapping

In terms of draft picks - the players I can see us being interested in include

Angus Brayshaw who is my early preferred selection
Jarrod Pickett who is also someone who I like alot and would give us an immediate injection of pace and would be my 2nd preference for a midfielder
Patrick McCartin and Sam Durdin are my two preferences for KPP and
Isaac Heeney is a Sydney Swans academy player who I'd like to see us try and trade for and he comes from a great educational system in the SS academy and has probably learnt the right way.

Beyond that

In terms of players at other clubs I am particularly interested in Kristian Jaksch who should be able to play on big forwards and we have a need for this type. I also always liked Tim Broomhead who is not getting a game at Collingwood. Allen Christensen at Geelong is another I like and we need a small goalkicking forward as well. Im sure there are probably other players at other clubs who have talent who arent getting a game at Present and who are doing well in the reserves of their clubs. We should be looking at Sydney, Hawthorn, Geelong and Collingwood in this regard as they have really good club cultures. And of course if we could bring in an A grader then that would help things a lot and give the supporters hope.

Unfortunately at Richmond our list management procedures and recruiting have been disgraceful and we are paying the price for it.

...sorry must've missed the announcement from the AFL that said we'll now be getting the same list & salary cap concessions those sides have. stuff me drunk you're delusional & clueless.

Players have been leaving for more dosh since Adam was a boy, me finks the RFC playing at the mcg have a little more bargaining power than getting a player to gws. All it takes is salary cap space. The rest is academic  :shh

I would also seriously consider rookying Brad Sewell from Hawthorn and Ryan O'Keefe from Sydney once they have been delisted by their clubs and we could bring them in as playing Assistant Coaches to bring some leadership to the team. Probably a stupid idea but our club is rooted and we need to find some cheap leadership from somewhere.

Funny thing is we could delist newman and several others free up plenty and then target a big name and then fill up the surplus list requirements with draftees - but we know that wont happen

Robbie Nahas - The small forward we have been looking for
Angus Graham - Upgrade on Hampson. The backup we need
Matt White - Speedy, line breaking mid. We are missing one of them
Jay Schulz - The classy, veteran forward to help Jack.

Perhaps the spin kings that convince us to hand over our hard earned may be able to convince some big fish to come down  :shh

Or perhaps we can continue  recruit some other senior players currently ranked in the opps best 38-42 players  :whistle
