Any word on whether Downie might return now that he's been delisted by Gold Coast?

Would think he'd be waiting until after the rookie draft before committing to a 2nd tier comp

But he is exactly the type we should look at rather local leaguers

The issue is money, recently retired AFL players can get $3500 a game in the burbs and about $350 in the VFL


It's all about how much your prepared to pay

Cale Morton has departed Coburg, but is tipped to stay in the VFL, with Richmond apparently keen on the ex-Demon and Eagle.

Excellent pick-up for Richmond's @VFL squad in @SKOBFC player Kelvin Williams. The former NT Under 18 rep was an All Australian U23 this year

Another recruit from the VAFA for Richmond @VFL: Jonno Daggian from Old Scotch. Played in the AFL Vic Young Guns game. They're busy, the Tigers.

Richmond's James Wall has retired from the @VFL after 147 senior games (including stints at Casey and Willy). Was equal third in b&f this yr.

3763967326736736736 delisted AFL Players this year, let's sign them up for VFL next year & dangle a AFL lifeline to any of them that has a good year.

Good to see Tommy Couch back in @VFL ranks. The former Melbourne and VFL Magpie has hooked up with Richmond's state league team.
