SSP

[one-eyed]

The Tigers have invited a handful of players overlooked in both drafts to train with them in coming weeks but will go with youth instead of considering any recycled options.

Kellaway will not be in that mix as the Tigers consider other options.

It's impressive to bring in 19 year old Retschko via trade and another 18 year old SSP.

Ideal this early in a rebuild imo

Does it mention in the article who the actual other names are?

Pretty bizarre regarding kellaway. Why did they nominate him as a potential father/son selection if he isn’t even worth a no commitment invite to train with us for a few months?

Foxfooty confirming Western Jets captain Tom Burton training at Richmond.

Twomey has tweeted it too.

Richmond has invited Western Jets prospect Thomas Burton to train with the club in the SSP window. Burton started today at Punt Road & was considered unlucky to miss being drafted last week after averaging 29 disposals for the Jets this year and playing with Vic Metro. @AFLcomau

I know that Tom Burton has been invited to train with us.

A small running defender and midfielder, Burton was named in the Coates Talent League Team of the Year and took out the Jets best and fairest award after an impressive campaign.

He also averaged 15.5 disposals for Vic Metro at the Marsh U-18 National Championships and had 20 possessions for the Marsh AFL National Academy against Richmond back in April.

He also impressed as an under-age player last year, including a 26-disposal game for Team Heppell in the Marsh AFL National Futures game on the MCG on 2024 Grand Final day.

Richmond says Marcus Krasnadamskis is the other one.

Gosh, Batman, the nobility of the almost-human porpoise

Id be all over that. From memory people saying he is temu CDT leading up to draft

Officially announced by the club, Burton and Krasnadamskis to train with the club over the SSP.

In the draft profiles the only 'weakness' listed is "IMPROVEMENTS:

- Rawness
- Strength".

Almost the ideal position for a young ruck in stage of rebuild.

Would also be solid to have young ruck developing with Sims.

List spots prob the most valuable thing in footy? When don't have wce. Gc type handouts.

Very important need to be looking for another grimes. Stack. Pickett. Baker. Etc.

Anyone know what players other clubs have invited? Wonder if NHH got invited anywhere.
