Where is the list at?

[Hellenic Tiger]

I would have thought Simmonds epitaph was signed and sealed after that wonderful display of hitting the target on Saturday night.

Patto I can agree with that decision. Too slow and cumbersome. Another top 20 draft pick from 2004 that Miller could not have got any more wrong.

I would have thought Graham would be retained given his age.

No worries Champ thanks for the heads up.

Only a theory that was thrown around, as Graham isnt much good, and aint smart.

[Hellenic Tiger]

These players that remain on the list...............

Skills skills skills.

Hopefully Hardwick will keep them on the track until they get their skills drills correct in much the same mould as Clarkson at Hawthorn.

If only players recruited to the RFC had a pair of hands around their ankles also.

Get rid of Rance , too slow, to many mistakes for mine.
I reckon Graham has stamped his ticket tonite, pathetic

You can't get rid of Rance after two seasons on the list Jack. There are many others who have blown more opportunities than Alex.

Alex was recruited to a club devoit of leadership fitness nurturement of success and a mental capacity to take on the game. Hardwick will change that and will instill these attributes. It's easy to attain a loser mentality if you have only been exposed to that environment.

14 names listed.

Names in capitals are those that are still contracted next year that I know of.
Means we should have 11 candidates for delisting/trading
Names in bold definite trade options.

You could probably add another 3-4 players as delistings/ trade bait who may not be at the club next year.

Ch 10 news said it's expected we'll delist 6 more on top of the 4 already gone.

You would hope 10 is a bare minimum.

I don't expect much more than that
Can't realistically cut more than 25% of the list in a single season

What about gourdis?  Is he a goner, I haven't heard anything about him all year?

He's been injured the last few weeks although he did train on Tuesday. I'd be surprised if he is still on our list next year. He can't kick and Hardwick would've learnt at Hawthorn that good footskills are a priority.

Blight gave us a F on Ch 10 tonight.

Positives:

* New Coach
* Can't think of anything else

Negatives:

* Too many excuses
* Lengthy rebuild ahead

Im looking for 12 changes, anything below 10 is weak, 10-12 probable, 12 to 15 and Hardwick is making a big statement - and I reckon thats what he should do. If the old days were in operation and you could buy players we'd sack about 26 players lol.

More Tiger pain: McCartney
August 30, 2009

JASON McCartney has predicted further gloom for Richmond supporters despite Damien Hardwick's appointment.

The AIS high-performance coach for the AFL said that while Hardwick had a three-year contract, it would probably take 18 months to two years before he could get the players that would fit his game plan.

"He's going to have to cull so many players this year and when you go to the draft you can only pick up so many players and rookies, so there may be a couple that will stick around that he doesn't really want,'' McCartney told BigPond Sports Weekend.

"I think what's going to happen now is some players who have been fairly comfortable are going to get the door slam-closed on them and they'll realise, 'maybe I could have done a few things differently'."

Agreed - he cetainly wouldn't survive my cull
