Looks very very good.

Do we need to free up a spot?

There seems to be conflicting reports...we had no spots left after we signed Stack & Weller but various media outlets are saying we are one of the clubs eligible for a mid-season draft pick even though nothing seems to have been officially announced regarding movement of players onto the LTI yet (and by the way the club's been talking Rance won't be)....but I'd say if we've already had Lowson in for a medical then we are planning to free a spot up somehow.....wouldn't be suprised if Grigg retires... :shh

one thing ive always been big on is mature age recruits who dominate in the lower leagues.Pickett actually has all the physical attributes to succeed at afl level, you know the basic boxes all afl players should tick. This bloke has shown consistently that he is among the better players going around in his state league and regularly beats afl listed players in the league.

Personally im hoping we can find a bigger bodied hard nosed quick inside mid from somewhere.

The article about Grigg said Richmond has already interviewed Coburg small forward Sam Lowson.

We've been lonked with several players and I'm sure we're not just looking at one ....other clubs are interested in Lowson too and frankly it would be quite bizarre if our primary target is yet another small forward....:shh

I reckon a key defender or ruckman is the go now.

RICHMOND

Following Shaun Grigg’s retirement, the Tigers have one list spot available. Meanwhile, Alex Rance’s determination to get back after his ACL rupture means he won’t be going onto the long term injury list.

WHAT THEY’VE LOST: The Tigers would love another star ruckman but it probably won’t happen this year. Toby Nankervis is out for 6-8 weeks with a groin strain, but will be replaced by Ivan Soldo.

WHAT THEY NEED: Richmond’s list is evenly balanced, with a host of fast kids, some key position back-up in Callum Moore and Ryan Garthwaite and some flankers like Patrick Naish pushing for a game.

WHO THEY TARGET: The Tigers have interviewed Coburg’s Sam Lowson, a talented goalsneak. So they must be considering whether to put another player on their list. You would think the Tigers don’t need another small forward but they just want players with talent, then turn them into the player they need. Their recruiting of Sydney Stack, a talented mid/half forward, who they threw into a half back role shows how they do business.

He was at punt road late last week undertaking a medical and having an interview but will not be available when it's our pick. A type of player we have plenty of but he is best available.

In-demand Coburg small forward Sam Lowson has been interviewed by Richmond, but so have a host of clubs including Carlton, who will almost certainly have the first pick.

South Adelaide's Michael Knoll and East Perth's Ajang Ajang have attracted attention as state league ruckman, but once again Richmond will be towards the back of the queue, behind the likes of Essendon who are also in desperate need of ruck support.

Other ruckmen that clubs have shown interest in include North Adelaide's Jack Blair, Coburg's soccer convert Adam Swierzbiolek and athletic Claremont big man Oliver Eastland.
