Richmond Offseason/Preseason Megathread 2015/2016

Yaz will play his old side in Round 1 next year as has become tradition.

Bully · October 25, 2015, 08:43:04 PM

If we go a mid like Balic/Oliver/Mathieson with pick 12 I would like us to target one of Hardwick/Dodge/Ferreira with our next pick. I highly doubt all three would be there but there should be at least one available.

Nige · October 26, 2015, 04:01:29 PM

I'd love any of those three. 8)

Also, Shane Edwards has re-signed until the end of 2019!

Great news, only Titch & Vickery are FAs at the end of 2016. Good to have him signed off before the media torch turns to him.

As you probably know I am not a big fan of Titch but to his credit he had a very good year but his performances in the last 3 E/ finals have been nothing short of pathetic something he needs to sort quickly

So was the 3/4 of the team in each of those finals.

Meh, only thing that comes out of the nab challenge is injuries. Play the kids and let's look to belting Carlton by 70 points in round 1

I will add Kerbatieh & Markov to that list, some good numbers from both players. I think this is the year to grab a small/medium forward, I reckon Kerbatieh will be the one if available, we've already seen him up close and the reports are good.

What about Daniel Rioli kids got some talent, and should be around late.

Nige · October 28, 2015, 06:06:40 PM

Matt Dea and Nathan Gordon have been delisted while Matt Thomas has retired.

Matt Dea very unlucky imo.

Yeah didn't Dea win the VFL b&f?

Anyone else think we should look to grab Matt Wright? Was delisted from Adelaide but I rate him. Similair style to Chris Knights

Yup, Dea won the B&F, thought he was at the front of the line for as far as defensive depth was concerned, apparently not. I guess it's part of the reason we were keen to retain Astbury.

Not a huge fan of Matt Wright, I can't see him being any better than guys like Gordon were for us tbh (granted, Wright > Gordon).

The two delistings and retirement today make me believe we'll pick up a delisted free agent or two. Andrew Moore seems a likely one, especially with Tank gone. Gives us another inside mid.

Dea will surely be picked up by another club.
Yeah would be great to find another basement bargain. Anthony Miles 2.0

no, not "Nippa" Gordon?! every time I saw him play he was good...
