Richmond Offseason/Preseason Megathread 2015/2016

[Nige]

Can we unleash him against Essendon for Dreamtime at the G, that'd surely be perfect? Or maybe against Hawthorn just because Rioli v Rioli?

Imagine Bruce commentating that game :o

It is a Friday night game...  :o

If Dan is anywhere near as good as Cyril i'm tipping Bruce will have a stroke at some point.  :P

Strange draft this one, it was pretty even after Curnow so hard to be hyper critical. Don't mind the Rioli pick, preferred Hibberd but there's not much separating these blokes. I actually think Frank has grown a bit more ballsy these days, this is the first time he's targeted an athlete rather than a seasoned footballer, be an interesting test case. For those who are interested check out these comparisons.

      Cyril Rioli                                Daniel Rioli
       178cm.......... Height ................ 180cm
        74kg........... Weight ................  69kg     
       2.90sec.........  20m ................. 2.89sec
       8.89sec......... Agility.................8.24sec
        13.1............  Beep ................. 14.6
       10.32 ...........  3km ................. 10.09
       24.01.........Repeat Sprint .......... 24.15

The Markov pick is a good one, plenty to work with and he'll create some healthy competition with Menadue. He's already played SANFL reserves so there's a good chance he'll be playing some senior footy this year. Broad is also a decent pick, given we don't have an adequate replacement for Chaplin he's ready to go, a solid state league player who has improved markedly this year.

?? Broad is a running half back. He wouldn't slot into Chaplin's spot surely?

At 191cm he can paly as a third tall, in fact it's only this year that he's been more of a creative play-maker, prior to that he's been your typical shutdown defender. Chaplin has never taken on the gorillas, he's more your mobile back-up player for Rance & Grimes.

Nice stats on Rioli, seems to compare athletically pretty well with Cyril. Let's hope he can bring that same creative spark!

Nah man that's not correct. Early in his senior career at WAFL level he was tried on a wing because of his running ability and then settled in across half back. Could do lockdown jobs on small/medium fwds. But he wouldn't play on bigger boys like Chaplin does

Chaplin plays more as a third tall, a guy like Aaron Francis could slot into his position despite being a few centimetres shorter. My understanding of Broad is he's capable of playing on taller types as well as shorter ones, not suggesting he'll take on Travis Cloke but neither would Chappy.

He has the ability to in patches but no chance you'll use him like that regularly. Chaplin would have nearly 15-20kg on Broad and you wouldn't look to put that much size on him because he's not that kind of player.

Hmm running halfback with a great running ability. Could lock down small/medium. Provides plenty of run/drive.
Not sure who at Richmond you'd compare him to tbh, which is why i like the pick up for you guys.

Only concern is his kicking and decision making

[Nige]

So we've picked up Callum Moore, Mabior Chol and Adam Marcon in the rookie draft.

Marcon's gonna be the second coming of Kane Lambert.

Callum Moore is a tall forward and Mabior Chol is a ruck/forward.
