Hugo's interview on RSN 927:

Hugo Ralphsmith says he's loving life under new coach Adem Yze at Tigerland.

The Richmond youngster joined RSN for a chat on Wednesday, with the AFL season fast-approaching.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
After an equal career-high 13 appearances in 2023, Ralphsmith is keen to spread his wings and cover multiple roles in Richmond's new system, likely finding some time further up the field under Yze.

While his traditional role at half-back will be where he continues to hone his skills, the 22-year-old is open to growing his game this year.

"I'll be more down at half-back with some wing and maybe even half-forward, that's the conversation we're having at the moment," he said.

"I guess we'll wait and see once games start coming up. I think I'll be playing down back but we're very fluid at the moment so we'll see what fits."

Reflecting on where the club sat in the years prior to their drought-breaking 2017 premiership, the Tigers defender said the sky is the limit for his side as they look to focus on the process at hand.

"Everyone's worried about the outcome and wants to win a premiership, but for us, it's more about the process," Ralphsmith said.

"If we play the right footy we can go anywhere. You look back to 2016, the Tigers weren't going too hot and then a year or two later they were the best team that anyone had seen in a while.

"You never really know where it can go, so we've got expectations of each other and that we can do the right thing."

Are you people comparing him to his normal efforts or an actual AFL level effort? :shh

He ran all night and had a crack. Give him another game. Worse players last night other than Ralphy for a change.

If he plays like that each week I reckon you are right.
Question is will Pickett be playing for us after his court date? So HRS may take his place instead?!
