The Richmond Off-Season Megathread

[Toga]

Depends whose spot he is taking on the list but would prefer to take a punt on some more younger blokes with some more upside.

(shaker will love me for saying this :P)

Yeah, somebody like a Laverde or Ahern is perfect for this. They can run and are decent footballers.  :P

Weller! O0

Would prefer Laverde or Ahern over Weller tbh.  ;)

The stars have aligned..

We apparently have a mountain of cash.
Dangerfield has been rumoured to want to come to Victoria.
His coach/good friend Sando has been sacked.

Get it done Richmond!

[Nige]

We'll give them Grigg, Hampson and Thomas.
The Crows love our spuds  :P

Tank could win the Magarey medal again.  :o

[quinny88]

Thomas is alright!

It's funny I was just trying to think of another spud on our list that I can't stand but it's actually hard to think of them now  :o
A few years ago I could have reeled off 10 spuds without blinking

Todd Elton was Pick 26 in his draft and is currently the biggest potato on our list. Crows need to replace Tex when he's poached by the Swans next year.  :P

I actually liked the look of Elton in the 1 and only game he played.

The CHF position is still up for grabs IMO. Griffiths and Vickery are ahead but if McBean or Elton can have a huge pre season and go to the next level then theres a position there for them

[Toga]

Still think we could run with three talls as well if two of them really show they are worth spots next two Jack. None of them are that traditional third tall size though which makes it tough

[Nige]

For me (not including Jack)

Griffiths > McBean > Vickery > Elton

Big call to place the kid who hasn't played a game yet ahead of Vickery but I'm really excited about him as a prospect.

Another phantom draft with Paul Ahern going to us.

Here's what Jourdan Canil had to say.

11. Richmond -  Paul Ahern
Calder Cannons
Height: 181 cm
Weight: 77 kg
Position: Forward/midfielder
Player comparison: Travis Colyer (better kick)
Strengths: Pace, skilful, game winner
Areas needing improvement: Contested ball winning, two way running

Ahern is a fast half forward who has gradually worked into the midfield. He's an excellent kick on the run and could become a very damaging player if he can get it all together. He's a strong mark for a small forward. He can kick a small bag when needed, but he can also be wasteful in front of goal. He kicked 1.5 against Eastern and 0.3 against the Rebels this year. He's starting to find more of the footy but it's basically all outside ball. He doesn't tackle enough in the forward half, averaging just over one per game this year. He's a strong size and great over head. He is really starting to hit his straps, kicking three goals and being one of if not the best on ground against Western Australia.
