Richmond Offseason/Preseason Megathread 2015/2016

[BigMac_93]

We're apparently looking at Hartlett.

SEN said we will offer him a 5-6 year deal. Out of contract at the end of next year.

Well done to Riewoldt, Rance and Deledio on AA honours. Really happy for Jack in particular who played a selfless role so I'm glad he was rewarded for it

[Nige]

Kinda surprised Jack made it to be honest, had a brilliant year but didn't think he would be rewarded. Actually surprised Dusty didn't make it. Really happy Lids got in despite missing several games.

Apart from Kennedy there were no real stand out key forwards but I think Jacks score involvements were 2nd to none in that position.
Dusty probably unlucky he was competing with Robbie Gray for the same role in the team and Gray was slightly better.

[Toga]

Jack definitely deserved his spot, 50 goals and #1 in score assists among key forwards. Congrats to the three Tigers! :)

not sure why people keep bringing up the score assits

Tom Lynch 30 goal assists
Roughead 23
Jroo 22
Gunston 19


you could say Roughy could have easily got it over him, just didnt play enough games

+5.9 disposals -1.5 marks +0.8 tackles -0.2 goals

even lecras could be somewhat keyish forward 24 goal assits

+5.5 disposals -1.4 marks +0.4 tackles -0.3 goals

gunston was elite

+3.5 disposals +1 mark -0.3 tackles

basically that spot was up for grabs and any of lecras walker roughy gunston jroo could have got it.



*this does include finals, not sure how to exclude

[Toga]

LeCras isn't a key fwd. He's 1.82m tall. Even if he was a KPF his stats were, 43.26, 108 marks, 58 tackles, 24 GA, 19 1%ers.

Riewoldt 54.30, 144 marks, 52 tackles, 22 GA, 37 1%ers

Tom Lynch 32.16, 158 marks, 43 tackles, 30 GA 19 1%ers.

I don't think the stats for either of those players make a good enough case for their inclusion over Riewoldt, Holz. LeCras certainly could've challenged Cyril for his HFF spot if had made the squad.

how about roughy?

almost 6 more trouches and 1 tackle a game more 0.3 more 1%ers aswell for only -0.2 goals a game. Jroo did mark it more but alot more touches and pressure with the tackles. the only thing against roughy is he missed some games.

[Holz]

again im not saying Jroo didnt deserve a spot but there was no clear 2nd forward at all.

Tom J Lynch if he played for a better team could have easily have made it

Disposals +1.7 marks +0.4 contested marks +0.7 tackles -0.7 one%ers +1.8 goals -0.2 goal assits -0.4

so yes less scoring involvements and tackles but far far better contested marking and one percenters. Lynch best contested mark in the comp

All this talk of Lennon for Yarran is not something I would be happy with! Damien Barrett agrees:

IF the Blues aren't realistic ... THEN ... they'll botch the Yarran trade. Need to realise that, as blisteringly good as the 24-year-old is, there won't be a draft pick much better than No.25 on offer.

I don't think the Tiges are even thinking about that trade but Toges blistering good are not 2 words I would use describing Yarran , how many coaches has he been under 3 ? and not one of them have been able to get a consistent effort out of this guy and when he was dropped once again this year the commentators were saying that attitude and effort in the 2's was nothing short of disgraceful and maybe he would be better off out of AFL all together, sure if he comes to us there will be a short honeymoon period with him but as soon as he gets his nose out of joint over coaches decisions regarding him he will revert to the sook that he is.

I would much rather we chase Bennell hard even though his rap sheet is a mile long at least when he is on the field he seems to try all the time unlike Mr Yarran .

[Kellogscrunchynut]

Yarran's a good player who was wasted under Malthouse, he has played some seriously good footy in previous years.

[quinny88]

Bennel had a meeting today at punt road with Dimma, Gale, Choco, Dusty, Cotch and Maric.
Would love to get him

[Nige]

Hopefully something good comes of it.
