Anybody have an update on Nick Mellington? Staying with Richmond VFL? Possible rookie?
Played with Benalla in the finals of the GVFL.


while Nick Mellington was named among the best in his first match for the season after returning from the VFL.

His form in the VFL this year will put him in line for a rookie position. Was a standout with his hardness and skills. He is also a nice size for an inside mid.

The Richmond @VFL team lands a nice player in Tyson Thomas, the crafty and creative former Northern Blues forward. Played no football in 2015

@swa11ace -  Any Richmond whispers, Paul?  New coach Craig McRae said on the club site they are "really looking to turn the list over"

@PaulAmy375 -  Tom Couch, Tyson Thomas (ex-Northern Blues), Kelvin Williams (St Kevin's) and Jonno Daggian (Old Scotch) early additions pal

Some exposure for North Ballarat's 2015 JJ Liston Trophy winner and ace midfielder Nick Rippon.

Starts training at Richmond on Monday. @VFL

With a view to being picked up for our VFL list or our AFL list?

Pretty sure he also knows & reports about VFL players being picked up for AFL lists. Rippon's been mentioned in a few articles as a State League player that AFL clubs might look at this year. 

Not sure about adding him to our AFL list - but he'd definitely improve our VFL side.

That he does

But I thin it is just for VFL list at this stage as the "tweet" says Rippon will start training  "at Richmond on Monday. @VFL"

From Paul Amy's Twitter

Richmond @VFL lands a very good recruit in delisted Western Bulldog Sam Darley. The 22-year-old played 13 games for GWS and 7 for the Dogs.

======

Now that's more like it!

It looks like Rippon in the new Andrew Moore video. If he plays for our VFL team next year he will be the best recruit as the kid can play. Solid addition indeed. Tyson Thomas has decided against joining us which is a shame.

Rippon the kind of quality our VFL list needs more of - gun at that level. Probably as good as Lambert - possibly even better. :shh

Is Tyrone Downie returning or what?
