Richmond Rant / Re: Richmond ressies/VFL side [merged]

« Last post by one-eyed on Today at 05:29:53 PM »

Former AFL-listed player Sam Philp has joined Richmond’s VFL team, bringing his competitive edge to the side’s 2026 line-up.

Philp was previously on Carlton’s AFL list, drafted as a first-round pick in 2019. He went on to make his AFL debut in Round 4, 2020, against Essendon.

The recruit spent last season with Port Melbourne, dominating off half-forward and using his explosiveness to provide run as an inside midfielder.

Now, a Tigerland resident, Philp is looking forward to a fresh start at the Swinburne Centre.

Tasmanian parliament will approve the construction of the $1.13 billion Macquarie Point stadium in Hobart, allowing the Tasmania Devils to become the AFL’s 19th club.

It will allow the Devils to go ahead and join the AFL from 2028, playing in the stadium from 2029.

I am predicting this frustration will bubble over to the mens program in about 2 years. As a club, we are stuck in a malaise.

The review you have when you're not having a genuine review. Summed up by the coach being re-signed before the review was even announced .

Always remember how they worded the review when it was announced

"A review for the program not of the program".

Out clause right there to avoid serious change

Conti a deserved winner as she is our best player and has been since she joined us. Having said that Ellie might have got over the line if she didn't miss the last two games due to injury.

Also, the fact that there's a large gap after Conti and McKenzie sums up where our list is at.   

I've just listened to the President's speech and the Coach's speech

Pretty obvious from each one there isn't going to be any serious changes 

Which is what I was expecting (sadly).

Not sure why I bother anymore
