Great news Dio. These blokes have a good strike rate?

[MintOnLamb]

Hopefully it happens, drafting a young ruckman always seems to be a slow burn and is very hit and miss.

Let’s hope it all works out

[georgies31]

Be rapt with that can play 22 games next year have a good preseason to.

[pmac21]

Good move if it happens. 
Jack replacement.

Good game will be crazy to entertain a trade big upside.

[Fluffy Tiger]

Must keep. Move Chol on.

[Andyy]

Good game. Looks capable in the middle, more than the forward line. Surprisingly agile with ball in hand.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Reckon he’s our x factor going into season ‘22

From Sam Edmund on SEN:

Callum Coleman-Jones (Richmond)

(Regarding a text suggesting he is a certainty to join North Melbourne).

“All I can say is what we hear now is, ‘We’re monitoring him’. That’s the phrase that gets thrown around from a lot of clubs.

“No cards played yet, to my knowledge, but I’m writing that down.”

COLEMAN-JONES WEIGHS TIGERS OFFER

RICHMOND has offered young key forward Callum Coleman-Jones a two-year deal as the talented tall considers his future.

The out-of-contract 22-year-old has interest from clubs including Gold Coast, while the Tigers remain keen to keep him as a part of their future forward line plans.

Coleman-Jones played eight games this season, including a four-goal haul against Adelaide in round 11 in his first appearance of the year and just the second game of his AFL career. He booted 11 goals for the season and is viewed as a long-term forward option who can also be used in the ruck.

A quad injury after round 16, however, meant the Tigers didn't have many games to trial the three-pronged tall forward line with Coleman-Jones combining with premiership pair Tom Lynch and Jack Riewoldt.

He should jump at that, he hasn't done much to earn a big contract yet.  If he goes let's get top returns.  Norf's first pick in 2022 would do.

Tiger talls to make call on future

Two Richmond key forwards and rucks could be poised to leave the club, upending the Tigers’ plans for rebuilding their premiership squad on the run.

Highly rated Callum Coleman-Jones will decide next week if he will accept a two-year offer to remain at Punt Road or pursue a move, with Gold Coast and North Melbourne leading the push for the out-of-contract player.

Coleman-Jones was drafted at pick 20, the first pick in the second round of the 2017 national draft, having played most of his junior football as a ruckman and forward. The 200-centimetre tall has spent four years at Richmond developing primarily as a forward behind Tom Lynch and Jack Riewoldt.

The 21-year-old has played just nine games, including eight this season, with the Tigers believing more opportunities will continue to open up in the forward line with Riewoldt entering what is likely to be in his last season next year.

This time last year Coleman-Jones and teammate Sydney Stack were suspended for 10 matches and the club fined $100,000 when the pair was involved in a fight outside a kebab shop after they had been kicked out of a strip club on the Gold Coast.

That fine had to be included in the club’s soft cap on football spending.

Complicating the picture for both players when they consider opportunities ahead at the club is that Toby Nankervis and Ivan Soldo are both expected to be fit for the start of next season.

Richmond have a strong draft hand this year, holding Geelong’s first-round, St Kilda’s second-round and Gold Coast’s third-round draft picks as well as their own first, second and third-round picks.

While Coleman-Jones could theoretically walk to North Melbourne through the pre-season draft for nothing should he choose to leave Richmond and accept the Roos’ offer, he is unlikely to pursue this option and would want a trade were he to leave.

Gold Coast appear favourites to secure him if Coleman-Jones decides to leave. The Suns also have a strong hand of draft picks and could readily do a deal with Richmond.

He will meet with his manager Michael Doughty next week to decide on his future.

"I say, Callum Coleman-Jones owes the Tigers."

Caroline Wilson believes the young Tiger needs reminding that the club stood by him last year after the hub breach, when deciding where he plays next season.

Caro:
- CCJ's manager needs to give him better advice.
- CCJ owes the Club. His kebab incident cost Richmond $100k.
