List changes going into the 2018 preseason

What do people think of Soldo's future? Nominally we have 4 rucks but really only 1 AFL level. But we won with Grigg as second ruck. Re rookie, senior list or drop?

Can you Re rookie for a 4th year?

The thing about Soldo is that he was a category B rookie for at least a couple of years.
You're not counted on even the rookie list if you have never played before.
It's usually for internationals like the Irish recruits or even Cox and Holmes from the US.
Think Soldo has only been on the official list for a couple of years.

Sam Landsberger (from the Herald-Sun) was on SEN yesterday arvo and said he believes Miles, Lloyd and Lennon are all happy at Richmond and they will stick around and aim to break into the premiership side in 2018 rather than leave to play for a weaker club.

Hunt, Morris and Elton all gone.

Think we all knew Morro and Hunt were cooked. Thought Elton might stay on, perhaps another developed big man is on his way?

Here is the full article from the Richmond website. Soldo and Castagna elevated as well.

More to come....

[Yeahright]

Elton was always gone IMO. Stayed on the list longer than he probably should have, finally had his shot and didn't show enough.

[Yeahright]

But good on Morro, staying with the VFL tiges

[eliminator]

Good decision to elevate George and Soldo and to retain Steggle, Chol and Moore as rookies. It was the right to decision to let go Elton, Hunt and Morris. It shows real character for Morris to play for the VFL side. Although he was not highly skilled his courage and attitude could never be questioned. I will always remember that goal he kicked against the Hawks.

I remember the time Morris was pantsed by Betts......despite not even being in the side

[Diocletian]

Haven't the AFL changed the rules for next year so that rookies will be able to be selected for the seniors without requiring elevation?

With josh schache back in play would we trade miles or Lloyd and a pick for josh? He is the young kpp we have been searching for and miles would probably love playing in the firsts again.

Yes.....some of the loosest checking ever seen by Morris that day.....

Morris did the best he could with limited talent. He isn't a good reader of the play, not fast, not tall but he played in the AFL.  Well done.

Elton was such a non event in the end . Impersonating an AFL footballer for 6 years .

Yep, have felt for some time he was at the head of the queue for the exit door.

Project tall who didn't work out. Got a fair crack at it IMO
