Richmond Rant / Re: Ben Miller [merged]
« Last post by Hard Roar Tiger on Today at 12:25:19 PM »
He’s played 69 games of senior AFL football so yeah, that’s raw in terms of games played. In addition, less than half of those games have been as a key back so yeah, that’s raw in terms of afl experience.

I know that perhaps you expect every player to float down and have impact from day 1 but that is not going to be B Miller.
His 2025 was significantly better than 24 and that WAS better than his 23 year.
All parts of his game are improving and providing the curve continues to track up  - particularly spoils and intercept possessions which are tracking up nicely.
He kept a number of key forwards from scoring heavily - a huge result considering the lack of pressure on the opposition midfielders this year.

He’s travelling beautifully for a raw, developing key back.

I did second guess when you said “where did this crap come from”  as you are the king of said subject matter and therefore should be food as identifying it in a post. Maybe not.

34 on main list
4 on rookie list
1 on cat B list

Which list have you included Seth Campbell in? The 34 or 4?

If he still is in your 4 then he will need to moved. Which will make it 35 and 3.

He is on the rookie until we promote him at list lodgement time so thats where he is on my list / numbers

Interesting teams (I'm working on mine  ;D)

But I cannot see how anyone could have Juddy Clarke in our best 23 or Campbell only on the I/C  :huh (Herald Sun one)

Then the Fox Sports have Tom Brown on the bench  :help

Robey is our guy.  Went to my old high school not that it means much.

Good chance we only take him as some clubs may be desperate  with our other, and so we may split it up. I hope we don't as we get another top 5 pick next year. Then it's time to dance.

HF: J.Ross, J.Faull, S.Lalor

Ins: Patrick Retschko (Geelong)

Outs: Tylar Young (West Coast), Jacob Bauer (delisted), Jacob Blight (delisted), Mate Colina (delisted), Jacob Koschitzke (delisted), Kamdyn McIntosh (delisted)

2025 draft picks: 3, 4, 38
The Tigers backed in their youth rather than targeting free agents this off-season, but landed Patrick Retschko from Geelong for a late pick. Top-10 draftee Josh Smillie is the only of last year’s monster draft haul to not debut last season, but a full summer would have him ready to go. The young core is here, and will be complemented in November with two elite talents with the No.3 and No.4 draft picks.

Robey said his x-ray of his collarbone 5 weeks ago identified growth plates in his arms, so he is expecting to put on another couple of cms to get to 194cm.

ps. The AFL players he admires/bases his game on are Dusty, De Goey and McCluggage.

Every AFL club’s best 23 for 2026

RICHMOND

B: N.Broad, B.Miller, N.Vlastuin

HB: S.Banks, J.Gibcus, J.Short

C: L.Trainor, D.Prestia, H.Ralphsmith

HF: S.Campbell, N.Balta, S.Lalor

F: R.Mansell, T.Lynch, J.Faull

FOLL: T.Nankervis (c), T.Taranto, J.Hopper

I/C: J.Ross, T.Hotton, T.Brown, S.Green, H.Armstrong

EMG: T.Sims, J.Smillie, T.Dow


Key ins: Nil

Key outs: Tylar Young, Kamdyn McIntosh

WE SAY: Richmond will be banking on a healthy Josh Gibcus, with the club still holding out hope the former first-round pick can be a long-term key defensive answer. Sam Lalor slots back onto half-forward after another hamstring ended his debut season, while the Tigers will plan for a Josh Smillie second-year leap after a redshirt rookie year. Noah Balta could start the year forward again in a combination with Tom Lynch and emerging tall Jonty Faull, with fellow second-year keys Tom Sims and Harry Armstrong chomping at the bit for senior spots. Versatile youngster Luke Trainor could fill the wing void left by Kamdyn McIntosh, while a healthy Hugo Ralphsmith returns to the opposite wing. Jack Ross keeps Thomson Dow out of the side. Also hold picks 3 and 4.
