Richmond Rant / Re: Richmond AFLW team [merged]
« Last post by Chuck17 on November 06, 2025, 02:03:32 PM »I just flat out disagree with the delisting. The team is not a good football list. In fact its atrocious. Simple as that. Take Conti out and it's filled with players who aren't good enough. I may be in minority that thinks Grace is good enough, but she cetrainly at worse belongs on a list, a good list she'd be bottom 6-8 players. Yet a 24yo we get rid of arguably our best player the last 2 games. Makes absolutely no sense to me.
I can see us building a decent list around Conti (Dusty), whilst keeping Grace (Shaun Grigg) and Grace playing a role in a good side. She has age on her side, she's highly marketable, showed decent leadership and really want to be around the place regardless of it being so uncompetetive.
Yet our coach continues to jog on his merry way with a contract extension with some of the most unwatchable dumb football possible. We are the Essendon of AFLW. Laughing stock making decisions whilst everyone is laughing at us, and its inindefensible.
Thank god the season is over and the Mens draft is round the corner.
The thing is we have a much better player who is the same type of player (but better) who isnt getting midfield game because of Grace, she is one of the slowest and poorest disposers in the team

My own phantom draft for those interested:
Pick 1: Willem Duursma: Eagles
Personally, the Duursmas have burnt me enough and I find it hard to really warm to Willem at Pick 1, but there is enough noise and he has a great profile. So did his brothers. Will they be a Morton family and all be average or will Willem be a Joel Selwood of the family? Eagles wont bid on academy players, they'll want their player to be "Pick 1".
Pick 2: Uwland - GC tied
Pick 3: Annable - Lions tied (Can see Eagles bidding on both and giving themselves time to trade Pick 2 for anyone interested, possible Dons for CDT. But Dons won't swap enough cause they are so hard to trade with)
Pick 4: CDT: Eagles - They need talls, they need a ruck, they need another forward. I can't see CDT not going to Eagles with the profile of their list and what they need.
Pick 5: Grlj: Tigers - It's just the type we need for our build. Also think it gives us more time to see what Essendon will give up for Robey.
Pick 6: Dean Blues tied (Bity of rivalry making the Blues pay up big time for Dean. They are in need of a good story with Curnow going, no way they pass on Dean)
Pick 7: Robey: Tigers - (Personally would love Essendon to have a mare and give up Pick 7 and 8 for Pick 6 and something. But Essendon aren't stupid like Roos, they are stubbornly stupid)
Pick 8: Sharp: Dons (Gun, Essendon have done well with Sharp at pick
Pick 9: Taylor: Essendon
Pick 10: Schubert: Demons
Pick 11: Cumming: Demons

3rd point - are you saying her off field is good or bad ?
I am saying her off field is excellent, incredibly popular with her teammates. In this diabolical season she's been one that's worked OT to keep the spirit of her team mates up. She's shown great leadership even though she's not appointed leader
As I said sometimes it's not just about the on field...
It is my view that to a large degree she's been made a scapegoat for our train wreck of a season. Club wants to make a statement that they're being tough, ruthless etc... but the way they've handled this is really is reflection of our season
there is an opinion piece on HUN website (behind their paywall) saying the call to not offer Grace a contract is the right one but how it's been handled is the real issue. Would love to read it but more to the point who wrote it
You obviously know more about the program than me, but not sure what we have done wrong, told here she isnt getting a contract for 2026 at her "Exit" meeting, how else should it be done ?
Did RFC or Egan camp advise the media ?
