Richmond Rant / Re: Richmond AFLW team [merged]
« Last post by WilliamPowell on Today at 10:14:27 AM »
Only 4 changes. Im honestly not surprised. This program is honestly amateurish. Not because of gender but because of the diabolical decisions that continue to be made by this wing of the club. 4 changes. My god.

Grace is not a perfect player but I'll die on the hill she fits in as a depth player in a top 4 side without blinking. At her age it's crazy to delist her, as I said if 10 go with her in a clean out I can accept a new era at the un with a heap of fresh players. But somehow. Same coach, same players minus the player who was rather by coaches as best player for Rich and the last 2 games ahead of Conti.. mind boggling.

I genuinely want the AFLW team to work and be successful but honestly there is only so much energy you can out towards supporting it when diabolically stupid decisions continue to be made and by people that simply don't seem qualified or experienced to do so.

Id welcome Grieves getting more opportunities, that can easily be done by playing behind Grace. We can simply rotate and modify roles without delisted our highest ranked players. Id consider that to be flexibly tactical coaching. Be interesting to see what that looks like one day for our AFLW side.

Excellent post TL.

But....

So far it is 5 outs

The 3 from yesterday who aren't being delisted but haven't been offered contracts

Plus, Hicks and Lavey

It will end up being 6 because despite yesterday's statement (spin) from the Club around Grace Egan if she doesn't get traded she isn't going to be offered another contact which means in this day and age she's likely going to be delisted

For me at least there are easily another 3 I'd cut but clearly as it stands right now that isn't going to happen

The three delistings were all fringe players so we are going to see the same tripe next year

Well hopefully after another crap season next year they will get rid of Fergie and that recruiter person

Shame it will be too late to see Mon play in a good side

Just think sharps type can be picked up via trade or draft pretty easily.

Taranto, Hopper, Tom Mitchell, Clayton Oliver,  Jack Mccrae, Jack Steele all fall into that type of player and they’ve moved clubs, most of them for not much of a price either. Clubs just don’t value these types like they used to.

On the flip side if you are an absolute BEAST of an inside player with a burst to break away from packs then you could be viewed as a Matt Rowell ceiling type. So that’s where sharp would have to get to which I don’t see happening

Been wanted Mutaz rookied for a while now.

Dunno about draft Taylor at P3-4, this guy looks like a very useful medium back.

Foxfooty.com.au takes a look at another ten prospects from around the state leagues who could be in the mix for this year’s draft as mature-age recruits.

HARRY SCOTT

Harry Scott could be another success story out of Richmond’s VFL program. Scott caught fire in the final ten or so weeks of the season, becoming an integral part of the Tigers’ on-ball brigade. Scott is a hard-working midfielder who runs all day and does some of his best work at the coalface. He’s clean with the ball in hand and makes good decisions. Scott averaged 21.1 disposals, 4.4 tackles and 4.1 marks per match in 2025 to receive a state combine invite, where he ranked second in the agility test with a time of 8.07 seconds. Scott is the son of former Tiger Allister, who played 19 games for Richmond back in the early 1990s.

MUTAZ EL NOUR

Yet another Richmond VFL player to feature on this list, El Nour has been around the mark for a while now. El Nour has great aerial capabilities and loves flying for marks, while he’s also a handy ball user out of the back half. El Nour is very athletic and reads the play well, but injuries have hurt his chances of making it onto an AFL list so far. He finally had a better run of things in 2025 and thrived, averaging 17.1 disposals, 4.8 marks and over eight intercepts per game.

MASSIMO RASO

The young Tiger had some interest ahead of the mid-season draft but ultimately didn’t find his way onto an AFL list. Raso is an exciting small forward who is quick, dynamic inside 50 and clean at ground level. A product of the Western Jets, Raso has an uncanny knack to find the goals and is a strong crumber. Raso averaged 12.6 disposals, 1.3 goals and four score involvements a game, but has signed with Werribee for 2026.
