He looks sensational the leanest he's ever looked so far.
Really hope he's a late bloomer like his dad.

I didn’t think he made any improvements last season and can certainly see him playing plenty of VFL this year as thecubs go past him.
Absolutely
Even wait until mid season
Really don't understand the fixation on this guy that some people have
I really dont understand the hate some people have
no hate
i just don't value him as highly as some others
learn to handle an alternative opinion without the strawman

Richmond Rant / Your club's A-Graders? (SEN)
« Last post by one-eyed on February 01, 2026, 04:35:53 PM »Your AFL club's A-Graders
By SEN

SEN's Liam Pickering has named his A-Graders for every AFL club heading into the 2026 season.
Pickering's A-Graders are each club's cream of the crop, and he also named the B-Graders on each team who make up the top end of each best 23.

“Lynch was, Prestia was, but only one A-Grader.”
B-Graders: Noah Balta, Tom Lynch, Jayden Short, Toby Nankervis, Tim Taranto, Dion Prestia
“This is not a knock on them, it’s just where they are at. I think (Josh) Gibcus can be a good player if he gets a run, Sam Banks is talented.

Richmond Rant / Ranking the five best young cores in the AFL / Richmond at #3 (Zerohanger)
« Last post by one-eyed on February 01, 2026, 04:27:07 PM »Ranking the FIVE best young cores in the AFL
We name the clubs with the best emerging talent 👇
Patrick Parnell

January 30, 2026
Young talent continues to surge across the AFL, with several clubs now building cores that will shape the competition over the next decade.
Using players aged 22 or under for the 2026 season, we've ranked the top five teams based on the quality and upside of their emerging talent.
3. Richmond
Richmond's recent commitment to investing heavily at the draft has rapidly reshaped the profile of the club's list, leaving the Tigers with one of the most exciting young cores in the competition.
The headline act is former number-one pick Sam Lalor, a powerful midfield prospect who looks a Dustin Martin clone early in his career.
Around Lalor, Taj Hotton, Sam Grlj, Seth Campbell and Sam Cumming provide speed and class across multiple lines.
Richmond's rebuilding list is further bolstered by key-position prospects Harry Armstrong, Jonty Faull and Luke Trainor, who each appear exciting long-term prospects as the rebuild takes hold.
There is still plenty of development required across the group, but in terms of raw talent and upside, Tigers fans have every reason to be optimistic about what the next decade could hold.
Players 22 and under:
Steely Green, Seth Campbell, Kaleb Smith, Liam Fawcett, Kane McAuliffe, Thomas Sims, Taj Hotton, Sam Lalor, Patrick Retschko, Luke Trainor, Josh Smillie, Jonty Faull, Jasper Alger, Harry Armstrong, Zane Peucker, Sam Grlj, Sam Cumming, Noah Roberts-Thomson.

Richmond Rant / Re: Best 23 in 2026?
« Last post by one-eyed on February 01, 2026, 04:22:14 PM »The Richmond Tigers Best 23 for the 2026 AFL season is officially taking shape and it’s a fascinating mix of experience and emerging talent. Taranto & Hopper anchor the midfield, while Lalor projects to be the next gun forward every SC coach watches closely.
