I’d go for anyone 23-26 years old as that’s the age demographic we look like is going to be a gap. It’s not a huge priority right now but will be in 2-3 years.

Jack Macrae for peanuts sounds good to me. What do we give up?

Happy for Rioli Bolton  Baker and Graham  to go because we are not playing finals even if they stay. Whats the point of a mid table finishnext year and we dont have a shedload of top 20 picks.

These blokes going at this point in time is perfect for us we should thank them. There is only one proviso it will be very painful if we do not get our picks right  2004 all over again.

Their curency at their age is only going to decline and we are with or without them going to have low finishes for the next 3 or 4 seasons.

bingo

but no thanks on macrae
Great bloke good player but will stop development, pass

Always thought he wasn't an overly damaging player IMO, just an accumulator.

Also very much out of our demographic need.

Strong stance from @Richmond_FC legend @KevinBartlett29 in wanting to see the club hold Shai Bolton & Daniel Rioli to their contracts

Love KB but he also wanted Dusty suspended for 12 months over "chopstickgate".....part of the old (Graeme) Richmond mentality that kept us in the shytter for the best part of four decades... :shh

FJ is the only one that makes sense.

I know it might not seem to be the case now but with a little luck and a lot of shrewd recruiting, this draft could well be the start of our next era.
Let the Swans and Cats eat their finals cake.
I would rather have mine in premiership layers.  :shh

It's a five year deal for Bolton. Gets an extra year given he was contracted to 2028. Tigers wanted to keep Bolton-Rioli-Baker. But within 24 hours have wiped $2.5 million off their wage bill. Dusty's $1.3m salary is off the books. Lynch one more year on $1.5m back-ended.

Richmond with one of the best draft hands of all time.

All they had to do was lose their most talented player, their B&F winner, a crazy brave fan favourite who can play anywhere (very well), and an elite gut runner.

And finish last.

Why isn't everyone doing it!

So after today only 8 premiership tigers left:

Broad (17, 19, 20)
Nank (17, 19, 20)
Prestia (17, 19, 20)
Vlas (17, 19, 20)
Kmac* (17, 20)
Short (19, 20)
Lynch (19, 20)
Balta (20)

*Could become 7 if they don’t give Kamdyn another contract.
