Best 22 for 2022?
« on: October 09, 2021, 06:27:21 PM »
It's behind a paywall. If someone can post what the HeraldSun has as our "best 22" for 2022 it'll be much appreciated  :).

How trades, free agency has changed Tigers’ best 22

They may have missed the finals last season but Richmond is still hoping it is in the premiership window. Is this the club’s best 22 for next year?

Personally don’t have pick as best 22 but other than that it looks about right assuming short can learn to play the wing role.

If everybody is right to go then given our last few weeks when Rioli played back it makes a back 6 hard to pick. You either leave Short or Rioli out as per the teams above. Not sure which way I would go though moving Rioli into the forwards is a option.

Will be interesting to see RCD and Ross this year.
Hopefully they can continue their development and force their way into the 22.

C agree, what’s the point in drafting players that never get a game, have to play and develop them, saying that it has been very difficult for the seconds comp during Covid

Your club's best 22 in 2022: Who's in, who's out, who's new

Sarah Black

RICHMOND

Richmond's best 22 looks remarkably similar to the premiership team of 2020, it's just a matter of getting them all on the park at the same time. Recruit Robbie Tarrant comes in for the retired David Astbury, while Daniel Rioli had already switched to defence to cover for Bachar Houli. Fan favourite Ivan Soldo will return from a year out with a torn ACL, which ultimately pushes out Marlion Pickett, with the likes of Jack Graham, Jason Castagna, Liam Baker and Sydney Stack all capable of rotating on the wing. Noah Balta and Nathan Broad make a welcome return to defence after bad syndesmosis injuries, while it's fingers crossed injury-prone duo Dion Prestia and Trent Cotchin have smooth pre-seasons. Superstar Dustin Martin is making slow but steady progress after a lacerated kidney but is expected to complete a normal pre-season, despite having lost several kilograms during his recovery. Mabior Chol and Callum Coleman-Jones have left the club, but didn't have regular senior spots. Josh Caddy needs a strong pre-season to force his way back into the 22.


B: Robbie Tarrant, Dylan Grimes, Noah Balta
HB: Nick Vlastuin, Nathan Broad, Jayden Short
C: Kamdyn McIntosh, Dion Prestia, Jack Graham
HF: Jason Castagna, Dustin Martin, Kane Lambert
F: Jack Riewoldt, Tom Lynch, Shai Bolton
Foll: Ivan Soldo, Trent Cotchin, Shane Edwards
I/C: Toby Nankervis, Liam Baker, Daniel Rioli, Sydney Stack

Emerg: Marlion Pickett, Jack Ross, Matthew Parker, Thomson Dow

New faces and selection squeezes: Every AFL club’s best 22 for 2022 after the trade period

RICHMOND

B: Dylan Grimes, Robbie Tarrant, Nick Vlastuin

HB: Jayden Short, Noah Balta, Dan Rioli

C: Jack Graham, Trent Cotchin, Sydney Stack

HF: Shane Edwards, Jack Riewoldt, Kane Lambert

F: Shai Bolton, Tom Lynch, Dustin Martin

FOLL: Toby Nankervis, Dion Prestia, Liam Baker

I/C: Nathan Broad, Marlion Pickett, Riley Collier-Dawkins, Rhyan Mansell


In: Robbie Tarrant

Out: David Astbury, Bachar Houli, Patrick Naish, Mabior Chol, Callum Coleman-Jones


WE SAY: A lot of the premiership core is still there, but we’re going to be seeing a slightly different line-up at Tigerland in 2022. Leading the pack clearly is Robbie Tarrant, with the former North Melbourne star making the move to the Tigers in a bid for flag success. He’s an obvious walk-up start in a defence now lacking David Astbury and Bachar Houli. The move of Dan Rioli to half-back was a successful one and will continue next year, while there was plenty to like from Sydney Stack in the back half of the year. A notable absentee from this line-up is Ivan Soldo, who we won’t be seeing for some time as he recovers from a knee injury. The loss of Callum Coleman-Jones and Mabior Chol isn’t ideal, but it doesn’t drastically affect the Tigers’ starting line-up next year.

Classic lack of research - Blair Hartley conceded Soldo was right to play late in the season but we’d already put him on the LTI to draft Parker.
Soldo will 100% be there for round 1. I am hopeful this helps our clearance work as he’s a decent ruck and compliments Nanks nicely in there.
We need another clearance player - whether it’s a draftee from this November or a Jack Ross, Will Martyn or RCD who blow the roof off a pre season and emerge, I don’t know nor do I care but it’s an area of critical concern to address for season 22
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

I’m putting money on RCD and Ross to stand up next year, it is their time.

With the trade & draft period over and our list finalised, what is our best team now?
