Only 5 days to go.

What would the good folk of OER like for Christmas this year from the big fella in red?

Make a wish: What your AFL club wants for Christmas

Richmond
It’s another year of development for the Tigers, but they will hope to be in finals contention – until at least the mid-point of the season. That would show tremendous growth for a club with the league’s third-youngest list, in both average age (23.8) and average games played (58.7). Former No.1 draft pick Sam Lalor will look to continue his development, while a full season from luckless defender Josh Gibcus would be huge.

All I want for Christmas is ... every club's 2026 wishlist

Richmond exposed plenty of youth in Adem Yze's second year at Punt Road, but some played more than others. To fast-track the rebuild, the Tigers will be aiming for Sam Lalor, Josh Smillie and Harry Armstrong to play more in 2026 after all struggled with soft tissue issues this year. Lalor is back to full fitness after hamstring surgery, Smillie is still recovering from a quad operation, while Taj Hotton played the final seven games after overcoming a knee reconstruction and could be a Rising Star contender in 2026. Then there is Josh Gibcus. After three years wiped out by major injuries, can the former top-10 pick realise his potential? Richmond selected Sam Cumming and Sam Grlj at pick No.7 and No.8 in November's Telstra AFL Draft and will be hoping to expose them to plenty of senior football next year.
