Don't see a spot opening for Khawaja. Nor Lyon. Don't think we need a dedicated spinner atm and all of Head, Marnus and Smith can spin part time anyway.


Am not sold on either Doggett or Inglis either yet.


1 Head
2 Weatherald
3 Labuschagne
4 Smith

5 Green
6 Webster
7 Carey

8 Starc

Richmond Rant / Re: Richmond AFLW team [merged]

Katelyn Cox and Shelby Knoll have not been offered contracts for the 2026 season.

We thank both players for their hard work and contributions to the Club 💛🖤

Richmond AFLW List and Recruiting Manager, Trent Mosbey, thanked both players for their hard work and application during their time at the Club.

“Both Katelyn and Shelby had injury adversity during their time with us but continued to give their all for our program,” he added.

“Katelyn played 32 games for us, including every game and both finals in Season 7, while Shelby thoroughly deserved her AFLW debut this year after putting in a mountain of work behind the scenes.

“We wish both players all the best for the future and are grateful for their contribution to Richmond.”

Richmond holds selections 1, 38, 40 and 56 at Monday’s AFLW National Draft.

Richmond Rant / Re: Trent Cotchin [merged]

Who are the best AFL captains of the 21st century?

By SEN
9 Dec 2025

Narrowing the best of the lot down to a top five, SEN Breakfast duo Sam Edmund and Cameron Mooney picked their top handful of skippers since the turn of the millennium.

3 – Trent Cotchin (Richmond)

“The reason I've got Cotchin at 3 is like the man I've got at 1, he drove a culture reset at his club and drove standards.

“He reinvented himself as a player first and a leader along the way, and I reckon without him, you even wonder what actually happens at Punt Rd to some degree.

“Nine years as captain, three premierships as captain, but so much done behind the scenes to rebuild a club and a culture first. I think he has a massive role in that.

“There were board coups and challenges, and he was the captain the whole way through.

“Without him, I’m not sure what happens. He’s the centrepiece.”

Sam has done a good job there IMO, don't disagree with too much.

Mooney is biased, putting Selwood above Cotch. Selwood walked into a stuffing premiership team ffs. Pathetic.

Hes a forward but has great attributes for a mid role. Crafty is a good word for him and is a goal kicker the signs are great and we really should be prioritising him.
Hotton our Bolton replacement in some ways. Mansell our pressure forward with some toughness and experience.  add in we can change it up with Lalor and Cumming lots of mids to rotate thru there if we wish. This structure allows us to play Campbell wherever we like. Personally i think Seth most suited to wing not sure ive mentioned that before hah, but he also has the attributes for high hf and hb.

The other one we drafted Peucker watched a bit of him thru highlights and what have you and there is something there as well a bit of power and high impact think the smalls we have taken the last two drafts have been great picks.

Personally and im not usually loud about optimism but we have the makings of a good 22 we just need to now build depth and competition

Alger played mid a bit in the u18 and did well.

Richmond is another club monitoring a potential last-minute trade, having held an interest in Fremantle's Dana East across the last fortnight and having met with the midfielder in recent days.

Adelaide's Kiera Mueller has also re-signed at the Crows amid interest from Richmond and Collingwood.
