End of season cull: Who gets traded/delisted and who stays?

Catch them while you can

WITH JUST three rounds left in 2018, our writers look at every club list and which players might be close to the end, or in need of a new home.

RICHMOND

The Tigers' list situation faces a predicament that won't face an easy resolution unless Tom Lynch confirms he's going elsewhere. There are a number of players whose futures are tied up with negotiations to secure the free agent, who is sure to come with a high price tag. There are no Tigers looking at hanging up the boots all together, with Shaun Grigg and Bachar Houli the only players over 30 following the mid-season retirement of Shaun Hampson. Grigg and Houli are out of contract though, and along with Jacob Townsend, aren't likely to sign deals until the club has more clarity on Lynch. Fringe players Anthony Miles, Corey Ellis and Sam Lloyd are sure to look at opportunities elsewhere should they present themselves, after impressive years in the VFL while the unsigned West Australian Shai Bolton could also look at another club after falling down the small forward pecking order.

Did it during the first quarter against Frankston last week. Article about it in the injury update thread.

Townsend would be on a fairly cheap contract you'd presume, so I don't see him being offloaded unless another club threw us an offer to good to refuse. Others will go before him.

Hampson (retired)
Griffiths (retired)
Drummond ... sadly injuries have crueled his career from his first game.

Miles, Menadue and Corey Ellis would be first on the list as trade bait.

We don't know yet if Bolton wants to go back to WA.

As far as our rookies: Interesting to see what we do with Moore if Lynch joins us. Likewise, Stengle has stagnated this year with Higgins going past him and Baker ahead of him now.

good summation MT -

Hampson and griff gone
Miles gone too
Drummond more than likely gone
Reckon Bolton will go back to WA
Lloyd, CEllis and menadue will be testing the waters with other clubs, could be a bit of a clean out of fringe players this season, would love Lloyd to stay think he's best 22 material now

I think Lloyd will stay if we make him an offer.

Just a feeling. He seems to have very strong bonds to the playing group.

Is a class above VFL & has performed a lot better in the midfield this season at AFL level in comparison to last year. Lloyd definitely gets another year for mine.

Where do we think the development of Balta and Miller is at?

Is it too early in their careers to be looking at creating space for them to get a serious crack at an AFL game?

Tracking nicely but need time and another preseason Garth is ahead of both of them tho to come in.
