Smillie not playing 

Grlj is though, a player who might suit us this draft

Must still be conditioning. Don't wanna rush him back

The “conditioning” line is rubbish now. He’s been conditioning for so long he’s done another pre season. Just tell us what the issue really is.
Armstrong had a far worse injury and is back sooner.. make it make sense

Such a wasted year for Smilie.

If it continues next year it will be a wasted high draft pick too.

Conditioning.  They think we're all fools

[ajGreen]

Lalor, Smillie, McAuliffe Lefau etc. very disappointing

Makes zero sense

In:  Jacob Koschitzke, Sam GrIj

Out: Harry Armstrong (AFL), Jed Feneley.


2025 AFL draft prospect Sam GrIj, will don the yellow and black jumper in his Richmond VFL debut this weekend.

GrIj is an agile midfielder who can also line up at halfback, moving the ball up the ground with his slick handballing and penetrating kick.

The Oakleigh Chargers' prospect can slice open the opposition's defence with his elite pace and clean ball use.

Such a wasted year for Smilie.

If it continues next year it will be a wasted high draft pick too.

It might be a wasted year or it might be the making of him. We don’t actually know exactly what role football conditioning will play later on in his careeer.
If it wasn’t for some other questionable decisions like playing Lalor 5 days after another game and the generally poor and vague communication then I doubt we would be questioning this approach for Smillie

[Andyy]

I always think of Grimes and hope they can grow out of it to become a 200+ game all Australian and premiership player!

[Tiger Khosh]

Grij a lock not to be drafted by us now. Last season we had Jagga, FOS and Langford play for our VFL side and we passed on all of them lol

Lalor was injured to be fair. Think we would have taken any of them with our second pick.

Not much to watch in this game unfortunately. Grlj ad Gibcus will be the ones I keep an eye on.

I think Blight has played his last game for us, either delisted or part of a trade at the end of season
