How you define this term 'list blocker'

Would you say Richmond have any?

If so, who?

List Blocker>
Def (1)A player who has reached their potential but keeps getting games in front of players who need experience to grow and fulfill their expectations.
Def (2) As per Def (1) with the addition that said list blockers are being selected to play as favourites to try to garner favour with members with short term wins in mind at the risk of developing younger more talented players
Def (3) A paycheck player who has no interest in the long term goals of the club and who knows they will be selected week in and week out because the match selection committee have no foresight or vision.
Richmond List Blockers

Age has nothing to do with it - hell, JON was clogging the list at 19......Conca though still has decent trade value so for that alone he's not a list clogger.....that will likely change if he serves up yet another year of mediocrity....

and don't tell me we need him for his leadership.

Was the most silent, uninspiring captain that i can perhaps remember, apart from Cap'n Peepee.

Good thread topic.
For mine, a list clogger is a player who:-
A/is youngish but hasn't devleoped enough over time (a reasonable amount of time unless there is a particular issue)
B/ is established in age and/or getting regular senior games but can't further improve as a player or us as a club.

So in this first bracket I would put:-
Dea, Batchelor, possibly Arnott

In the second bracket it's a bit easier (to me):-
Foley, Newman, Grigg, Thomas, Pettard (play well at times. It believe we could devleoped our own in his role), Knights (injuries) and  Hampson
It's that simple Spud
"I discussed (it) with my three daughters, my wife and my 82-year-old mum, because it has really affected me … If those comments … were made about one of my daughters, it would make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I would not have liked it at all.”

Yeah I'd add Dea & Batchelor too come to think of it - Pettard I'd put in the borderline category. Still useful depth for now and I still think he would go a lot better playing more as forward. Jeez, we do have quite a few though.

For me a list clogger is a player whose negatives out weigh their positives in terms of football. A list clogger can be any age. An example would be Newman.
