The Richmond Off-Season Megathread

[Ricochet]

Shiel has connections with Choco and we tried to bring him in a few years ago. If he decided to leave I recon we will be one of the frontrunners to secure him.

If I was dating a coaches daughter at that age, I'd be trying to get to as far away as possible from him lol

Deledio a veteran next year! :o

Joins Foley and Newman on the vets list...

28 is pretty young for a veteran I guess they've relaxed the rules in recent years.

[Toga]

Yeah, new rules for next season - player needs to have been at the club for 10 years, no restrictions on age... Just makes him sound so old!!

[Kellogscrunchynut]

Do it mean that he isn't on the list of 38 or the club gets extra salary for him, Foley and Newman?

[Toga]

Club gets to pay veterans a fixed amount outside of the salary cap (a bit over 100K iirc).

Haha wow, I was literally on my way to thread to post this.

I don't mind it, particularly because it was the team that voted him in apparently.

[Toga]

Good on him, I'm sure the boys see him as setting an example of how to attack the ball and giving it your best. Might not be the most gifted bloke, but tries his heart out!

[Jroo]

Haha too slow Nige  :P

At the end of last year I would've thought it was a really good move, but he had a disappointing season this year, but that's not his fault.

I think he'll be a decent leader, he'll lead the way with his actions and how he attacks the ball.

[Nige]

Haha too slow Nige  :P

Like, when I looked at the forum index, there weren't any new posts in the board, but when I clicked on the board to post it, I saw a new post from you in this thread and was like "Damn it Jroo!"

[Kellogscrunchynut]

Even though hes only been at the club for 3 seasons I believe he has shown excellent leadership qualities, and obviously the leadership group agrees with me.

[Torpedo10]

Walked the club today during morning training, saw Chris Newman jogging and yelled out a "Hey Chris". Got a wave.  :D

Good to know you're advising the leadership group on these matters. :P

[quinny88]

Wears his heart on his sleeve and plays with the passion and determination that everyone should.
Very good decision imo.
