Three more changes to our list (Thomas retired, Dea and Gordon delisted)

[wayne]

Thomas should have played in the elimination final.

[Diocletian]

So we could be slower and turn it over more?

[the claw]

By my reckoning we have 4 live nd picks and two rookie picks.
So the question has to be How many nd picks will we use on kids.
Imo it will be just two 12 and 52. most likely we will take a delisted f/a and promote one rookie probably Lambert.
At 12 i think with Thomas retireing Clayton Oliver will be the guy we take if he is still there.
52 could be used on a tall,
88? on a delisted f/a
 120 on Lambert.
rookie picks may go on a mature ruckman  and a kid.

He might have helped us get a clearance or tackle

[Diocletian]

Can't see Thomarse being the difference between us winning & losing a final.

If I have got it right thats 5 retirements and 3 delistings, two of which were rookie listings.

We will upgrade Lambert and have gained Yarran and Townsend,so that means 3 draft picks (or free agents) and three new rookies. I agree one of those picks is probably for a DFA but dont know who.

Loos like it

Off the 2015 senior list is
Newman
Petterd
Foley
Knights
McDonough
Des
Gordon

Off the rookie list
Thomas
Arnott

We've bought in
Yarran
Townsend
Likely to upgrade Lambert

So that's 7 off the senior list and 2 maybe 3 on

Leaves 4 spots

Reckon it will be 1 DFA and 3 on draft day

Though the other thing is we've always gone short on the senior list the last couple of years

It's all too little, Too late don'tcha think!

Conca .........

[big tone]

Dea delistings doesn't make sense. Depth player if needed. Lucky we didn't have too many injuries. 2016 may not be the case

I agree with you on that.

Hardwick not a fan so that's the way it goes.

I never really care when players get delisted but I think this is a dumb move by the club.

Good fella and I wish him luck.

Good fella

This is why we're so hopeless. Good fella is he, so you tolerate poor performances because he's a good fella? Your attitude sums up everything that's wrong with Richmond

We've lost 7 players off the senior list and have brought in 2.
That leaves 5 picks available.
1 spot to a delisted F
1 spot to upgrade Lambert
Leaving 3 spots in the draft.
Let's not forget this is a rolling draft this year where live picks will change as the draft goes on.
Our pick 52 could well be pick 42 or lower by the time it gets to our turn and pick 88 could well be a pick in the 50's.
As the academy points are used the draft picks used to accumulate the points will dissolve and every body will slide up the the amount of picks used.

No surprise as others have said. All three weren't up to AFL standard for various and different reasons. Thomas was too slow and a poor kick; Dea lacked awareness with ball in and and would make too many basic goal-costing errors in defence; while Gordon's only strength was his speed of foot.

So miles had some mates

[Diocletian]

North's mids would've have laughed at Thomarse as they burned him off after he gave the ball straight back to them....don't be fooled just because he looked ok in easy matches against crappy, demoralised, Watson-less Essendon &  Ablett-less Gold Coast kids who had nothing to play for....

[Stalin]

I don't claim he's skilful but I was in favor of playing him

Thomas would turned it over but at least he would of cracked in

Miles would of appreciated it ...

Newman is like being a man down. No point having grigg in the trenches

Swallow Cunnington zibel found it a lot funnier without Thomas, IMO

[Stalin]

Furthermore, I was not taken in by his games vs the drug cheats or wce. 

I reckon his style is more suited to finals than home/away, more open games
