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

I'm not sure we watched the same games then.

I mean, I liked the guy but he had moments where he looked below VFL quality.

Yeah how many games did you watch DB? :P

Haha yeah agree with Nige, had some very good games but also had some games where he done flower all

If you're small you've gotta be quick and have great goal sense or be a contested/ tackling beast. He was none of the above. Not a bad player but a Bit of a nothing player and at 26 by the start of the season, probably wasn't worth perusing with.

2016 fixture for the Tiges: http://www.afl.com.au/fixture?teamId=CD_T120#tteam

Got a lot of games that'll be televised and in the Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday afternoon slots which is great.

Pretty tough draw this year. Need to get off to a flyer!

6 Friday nights and a Thursday night opening round ;D

Champion data rated our fixture as the 3rd hardest. Not too much of a concern as apparently last years was the 5th hardest and we still managed 15 wins

Lambert has earned himself a permanent position on the senior list.

Well deserved

Dunno if anyone else has read the season reviews for the players, but they've been great.

I'm a huge fan of this kid and I genuinely think he has a future at our club: http://www.richmondfc.com.au/news/2015-11-05/castagnas-impressive-climb

Reading it, he seems to know where he's at and is genuinely interested in learning, becoming a better player and breaking into the side at some point.

AFL advises that Richmond has signed Andrew Moore (formerly Pt Adel) as a delisted free agent. He is now able to join the club immediately.

Nige · November 06, 2015, 11:12:06 AM

Yep. Moore's now a Tiger.

I think this could be a good acquisition. Did well at SANFL level and was a top 10 pick. Hopefully we can get the best out of him. Him and Townsend coming to the club really addresses the inside mid need.

It might mean we take Ah Chee at 12 after all.

Nige · November 09, 2015, 07:48:56 PM

Changed the title of the thread since preseason starts now!

Still the place to talk about offseason stuff like the draft and DFA, but if you hear anything about pre-season training or anything like that, you can post it here.

I think he's our man, have heard Dan Richardson speak in tongues about small forwards so it would appear we are lining up Ah Chee, particularly if Milera is gone. Personally I don't mind the move, Ah Chee has blistering pace, can leap on top of players shoulders is generally a good kick on both sides. Don't think he'll ever be a midfielder but if he can have the same impact as Betts or Walters then he'll be worth it.

1st-4th year players did the 3km time trial. Brandon Ellis took it out ahead of Kamdyn McIntosh and Jason Castagna.
