Normal transmission has resumed  ;). Arsenal is just the best side this season. Villa had won 10 straight, and they were put to the sword :o.

The EPL falls away dramatically after the top few. Man City is the only challenger. Villa is decent but not good enough to threaten. Liverpool's terrible start means they are too far back in terms of points. The fact that a mediocre side like Man U is sixth says a lot.

Who wants what? Every coach's New Year's resolution for 2026

ADEM YZE (Richmond)
Richmond has undergone a major list reset since Yze arrived at Punt Road. To fast-track the rebuild, the Tigers will need to pump as many games as possible in 2026 into the teenagers they have recruited over the past two drafts. Some aren't ready, but others are. Sam Lalor has recovered from hamstring surgery and will be aiming for a full season. Josh Smillie still needs to prove he is over the repeat soft tissue issues that have restricted him since arriving at Tigerland. Can Taj Hotton fire in year two after overcoming a knee reconstruction? Then there is Sam Cumming and Sam Grlj who arrived via pick No.7 and No.8 in November.

Im actually talking about depth and list balance.
People may think it dumb but im a fan of copying what you do in the seniors in the reserves.

You have named 10  players.
I would not classify Alger or Grlj as mids at this point in time. Both should play but their primary roles should be h/b and hf.

That leaves 9 mids of which bar one will have to fit into the senior team. We need more mids if we are to mirror the senior team.

Seniors goes something like this

Vlastuin - Gibcus - Trainor
Grlj - Miller - Brown

Retschko - McAuliffe - Banks/Campbell
Nankervis - Taranto - Lalor

Hotton - Faull - Algar
Mansell - Lynch - Armstrong

Hopper - Cumming - Balta - Prestia -  Broad

Reserves

Trezise - Gray - Third tall
Smith - Fawcett - Short

Clarke - Smillie - Ralphsmith
O H-B - Ross - Sonsie

Rioli - Lefau - Green
Peucker - Sims - Ryan

N R-T - Mid - Mid - Utility - Mid.

Yep i think another 3 or 4 mids are needed. Especially with Prestia close to retirement and Ross and Sonsie being overtaken.
