Richmond Rant / Re: Best 23 in 2026?

Reality is you can't build a lost with top end talent. You need a mix. We need to start also hitting wins in Rookie draft and will also hit free agency soon. I expect for probably a gun ruck as picking one up in draft is really 6 years away from a break out year and by then Lalor and CO will be FA available and we can't afford to wait that long to be back in top 8. As wed struggle to keep a hold of all that draft crop coming to FA at once. If we are playing finals it'll be easy to sign them.
So 8 players Andy, agree. 2 of them come this year in pick 2 and 3. Next year's first is probably a top 6 pick minimum. So 3. Get 2-3 rookies to add and then 2 FA big names or trade ins on big contracts. We are cooking.
