Seth Campbell please how's my boy going
Rioli has ankle issues all year.Training Today Thursday :
People may want a detailed report but only have time for a brief summary and pre-season overall:
Coulthard: Straight line jogging only today so I think my diagnosis of a hammy was correct.
Shai: Seems to have bulked up a bit but has been absent from my reports as has not been a regular attendee and has not blitzed when he has been there but the class still shines through.
Dusty: Has missed the last week of training but in rare form prior.
Hopper & Prestia: Have not commented on them all pre-season as I didn't want to jinx them as the injury gods have not been kind, (but they haven't missed a beat and completed every session).
Marlion: Not there today but otherwise a great block of training from him.
Brown, Sonz and Cumberland: My biggest pluses to Christmas.
Kane McAuliffe: Moves very well and looks an exciting prospect.
Grimes: Am sorry to say is looking very old, I am not confident he can reverse his demise of last year.
Gibcus: Tracking better than i thought and my fingers & toes are crossed for him.
DRioli: Have hardly seen him at training and not there again today, he was in the training camp video but can't recall seeing him much more than that.
Bakes: Setting the training standard in Dusty's absence today.
Samson Ryan: A little bit bigger a little bit stronger, great skills for a big man, i still have high hopes but don't necessarily think he is going to explode onto the scene, (still might be baby steps?).
Balta: Has been training forward, is that for training structure or will he play there for real?
JNR: Missing a few targets again but moving better.
NaiSmith: Will be a good addition me thinks.
Kozi: I just don't know at this stage
Steely: I just can't see anything that says AFL.
Banks: Has looked good this pre but I am a fence sitter, I will be watching him for his progression in contested work.
A lot of running today, Shuttles, Camel runs, and lap relays, the star of the show and a surprise to all but me who has witnessed this phenomenon this pre, (Big Mate` Colina), this Giant can run but can he play footy?
Prestia, Graham and Seth Campbell were prominent in the killer Camels, (a type of shuttle but worse and longer).
Young & Clarke: Pretty much trained fully as there was very little contested stuff today.
No full match sim leading up to Christmas and not really much centre clearance work where one ruck was seriously going up against the other so no sense of who is dominant. The rucks have been doing a lot work in their own group this PRE though.
All gathered in a circle in the centre square for about 10 minutes to end the session culminating in raucous celebrations, laughter and shenanigans, showing great spirit as they head off for Christmas.
I will say it has been a different pre-season to the last couple, quicker ball movement, a bit more corridor and a bigger focus on kicking, (still won't make dud kicks good kicks). They are taking great care in managing players too, no one was being rushed before Christmas but I am hoping for a full New Year launch and finally see some match play.
Not sure my reports leave you with any presents to put under your Xmas treesbut have a great Christmas and New Year.
Cheers
Not sure why they didn't put him in for surgery.
At the BF he said it was still sore.
They did running again today.
Most of them didn't do any running all of last preseason.
We might be ordinary on field but we won't be unfit.

We might be ordinary on field but we won't be unfit.
Patience grasshopper, Seth another cruelled by injury this year, (abductor i think), running really well to Christmas, I will need to wait to New Year to see how it translates to his footy. Another humble kid that i only wish the best for.
Max Gawn's first over 13 game season he was 24 (2016) and played the 22 games. Before that he'd been on the list for 4 years.
Then in 2017 he went back to 13 games as a 25 year old before becoming the Max Gawn we have seen since 2018, and he was a 26 year old in '18, like English this year.
Toby Nankervis at Swans played 0, 5, 7 games before his breakout year - his season 4 - at the Tigers and he was 23. And we know what he's helped win for us
Ryan just turned 23 on 09/12/23, played 0, 1 & 14 games after 3 seasons, so if he is going to make it, we're going to find out very soon
Hoping season 4 is his breakout year as well.

Club by club: Steps Tigers need to take to not get ‘stuck in the past’
Sam LandsbergerThe killer line in was: “If you get stuck in the past, you die in the present”.
The 2017-2020 dynasty is done and dusted. Now it is over to Yze to plot a path to the next premiership.
There are still 15 premiership players and the Tigers reloaded in 2021 by drafting five players in the first 30 picks.
They have combined for only 51 games, but internally confidence remains high that several of these boys will blossom.

RICHMOND
Coach: Adem Yze (new)Captain: Toby Nankervis (solo captain for first time)
The , perhaps for years, and rival clubs reckon the extended stay at the top placed their list under serious distress.
There are pot holes, but the AFL’s equalisation measures – rather than club calls – are to blame, whereas Damien Hardwick walked into a club that just captured three of the country’s best 14 kids.
But Craig McRae (preliminary final then premiership) and Adam Kingsley (preliminary final) worked wonders from the get-go at bottom-four clubs.
Richmond rapidly rebounding would be similarly remarkable – and cannot be ruled out.
Richmond coach Adam Yze during Richmond’s first day of pre-training at Punt Rd. Picture: Michael Klein
What happened in 2023?
It was a soap opera of a season from the second Damien Hardwick pulled the ‘It’s not you, it’s me’ break-up line. .
It was the ultimate plot twist which, much like daytime TV, then splintered to set up a suite of emotional episodes.
Brendon Gale was linked to jobs at AFL House all season. Marlion Pickett was dramatically arrested and charged by police in Perth. Tim Taranto was talked about more than Donald Trump on a topic that turned into a bigger time waster than scrolling on Tik Tok. All the while, all the way to .
It was almost an eternal flame, with a six-year contract ensuring the flicker will burn brightly like the Sun.
There were teary goodbyes to all-time greats Trent Cotchin and Jack Riewoldt, fears for Bachar Houli after he was flown to hospital from a car crash, and by the season finale caretaker coach Andrew McQualter (Melbourne) and assistant Xavier Clarke (North Melbourne) had also departed.
But the subplot thickened as ‘Mini’ McQualter fell madly in love with the thought of coaching the Tigers, but was left with a broken heart after hearing he had missed out to Melbourne assistant Adem Yze.
Richmond’s board felt a fresh voice would flush out a feeling that mediocrity had started to seep its way into Punt Rd.
So McQualter moved on by .
President John O’Rourke described 2023 as an emotional rollercoaster. Those strapped in say they were mentally drained by the end. It was an exhausting ride.
RICHMOND BEST 23
FB: N. Vlastuin, N. Balta, J. Gibcus
HB D. Rioli, T. Young, J. Short
C: J. Ross, T. Dow, S. Banks
HF: T. Sonsie, T. Lynch, L. Baker
FF: S. Bolton, J. Koschitzke, D. Martin
F: T. Nankervis, T. Taranto, D. Prestia
INT: J. Hopper, N. Broad, S. Ryan, J. Graham, N. Cumberland (sub)
Where do they finish in 2024?
The Tigers could win eight games or, with some good health and good luck, they could win 13 games, which probably places them anywhere from 7th-15th.
Perhaps a more pertinent question is will fading flag heroes take priority over the future?
Or will they be vulnerable to playing VFL?
Kamdyn McIntosh and Marlion Pickett have each won two premierships and, aside from time trial king Taranto, McIntosh is once again running rings around the rest.
But he is 29 and Pickett turns 32 in January – and Sam Banks and Jack Ross are actually the incumbents on the wings after McQualter signed off with a selection statement in round 24.
Richmond's Kamdyn McIntosh flies high over Jack Buckley at Giants Stadium. Picture: Phil Hillyard
Will match committee weigh up which set of wings would best give flight to this rebuild?
And what about Dylan Grimes? The heart-and-soul defender who stood down as co-captain will turn 33 mid-season and has showed signs of a decline.
There will also be more asked of seven-year signing Jacob Hopper.
Loads of leadership will surround Yze after Richmond recruited respected former captains Chris Newman and Jack Ziebell as assistants and retained former AFL coaches David Teague and Ben Rutten.
Yet if delicate decisions must be made then surely Yze will offer the soundest perspective.
In 2007 Yze’s run of 226 consecutive games was famously ended when he was dropped by Neale Daniher and in 2008 he was delisted.
While some exits might be stage managed, excitingly there is a full-forward (Tom Lynch) and fullback (Josh Gibcus) to welcome back. Gibcus (hamstring) was unseen in 2023, but track watchers have been so impressed they have barely noticed that Gibcus is still being guarded from the odd drill.
The defender dashed to Doha, the capital of Qatar, recently to refine his running mechanics in the hope his hamstring tendon troubles will remain history.

As for Lynch, he helped lure Jacob Koschitzke from Hawthorn perhaps without realising. ‘Kosi’ desperately wanted to learn from a mentor – the Hawks had none – and he is already picking Lynch’s brain on how to best use his body in different marking contests.
Lynch has not played since round 4 last season and remains in doubt for round 1.
He has been so sorely missed that teammates showered him with love when he stepped on to the AlterG machine recently. Elsewhere they are healthy.
Draftee Liam Fawcett has recovered from glandular fever while by mid-January Jack Ross (toe), Tylar Young (shoulder) and Judson Clarke (scapula) should join full training.
Richmond’s Thomson Dow breaks away from the pack at Marvel Stadium in 2023. How far will he go in 2024? Picture: Michael Klein
Biggest improver in 2024?
New midfield coach Chris Newman has gone ‘wow!’ at Thomson Dow, and so let’s declare it now – the 22-year-old is a lock to line-up against Damien Hardwick’s Gold Coast in round 1.
Under Hardwick, Dow hardly played (14 out of 75 games).
Durability was never a problem – Dow has been developing every week outside of the two matches he missed in 2021 (concussion and thigh injuries).
The Swan Hill boy is simply a star at stoppage and his training patterns at centre bounces are getting pats on the back.
Dow’s potential will be determined by whether he can grow his game by supplementing that strength. Statistically the Tigers have long struggled at stoppages, although that was by design to a degree when ‘Dimma’ plotted – or perhaps prioritised – winning the ball back on turnover rather than under pressured clearances.
But whatever system Yze settles on, Dow is set to strengthen their craft at the coalface and show off the lightning hands and lateral movement the Tigers talked up when they took him at No. 21 in 2019.
Richmond young gun Tyler Sonsie has been hitting the training track hard since the end of the 2023 season, pictured in Inverloch on a Tigers training camp. Picture: Brayden Chamberlin/Richmond FC
Tyler Sonsie sits second on the ‘buy stocks’ list. When Sonsie rocked up in 2021 the ruling was raw in terms of fitness, but really, really classy.
Sweating through more off-season sessions with Crow Jake Soligo (they, along with Hawthorn draftee Nick Watson, are best mates) has helped Sonsie’s professionalism prosper.
Speaking of professionalism, draftee Kane McAuliffe knows no other way.
The inside midfielder taken at pick 40 turned up to Punt Rd hungry to hear Tim Taranto and Jack Graham’s habits and only a few training sessions later he was turning heads.
X-factor
Adem Yze believes the best teams play with a lot of speed and a lot of risk. They bolt forward ballistically as soon as they win the ball back.
Yze knows that boldness will backfire unless it is built on top of a stable defence and strength at the contest. But pairing that philosophy with Noah Cumberland’s chutzpah and it could be chaos. In 2022-23 Cumberland split his time evenly between the AFL and VFL (18 games in each) and Shai Bolton and Dustin Martin (who is setting PBs in the gym) are the obvious X-factor picks.
But if Cumberland can coexist with that cream and contribute, say, 30-odd goals, then his tricks could be the tonic that turns the Tigers from tame to intoxicating.
Like Bolton, Cumberland is a bit of a blaster … but, similar to what Vanessa Williams once sang, he gets the looks.

Coach status
Adem Yze is the rookie coach in the comfortable surrounds of a stable club. Recruiter Matt Clarke hinted to this masthead that Yze – like Cher in 1989 – could look to turn back time.
“He’s very specific about what we really need to do to slightly tweak our style of play to get us back to where we were,” Clarke said.
“He’s not coming in with a different brush saying, ‘Oh, well, we need to change this whole lot’.
He’s saying, ‘You blokes were elite – you won three (premierships). If we just tweak a couple of these things here you’ll get back to playing that style again – and that’s what we want to play’.
Who is in last year of contract?
Ben Miller, Dion Prestia, Dustin Martin, Dylan Grimes, Hugo Ralphsmith, Jack Graham, Jack Ross, James Trezise, Kaleb Smith, Kamdyn McIntosh, Liam Baker, Marlion Pickett, Mate Colina, Matt Coulthard, Maurice Rioli, Noah Cumberland, Rhyan Mansell, Sam Naismith, Samson Ryan, Seth Campbell, Steely Green, Thomson Dow, Toby Nankervis

However apart from that the article is written really badly, in parts almost unreadable. Even quotes Cher ...

Two interesting pic's from that article.
Gibber n Ooze havin a larf. Gibbers got a head like an axe murderer reminds me of Nicholson in the shining.
Dow already clear of the Aints yet has bugger all grip or control of the ball, looks more likely to lose it than dish off to the overlap.

Yeah, what's with the missing letters or words?? Cumbo's 'chutzpah'...
....with a surname ending in '...berger', looks like Sam's family is someway Yiddish. Is it true Lynch 'asked' for Kosi to be recruited? IMO, amazingly positive article from a Bummer supporter.
No I don't think Lynch asked for Kosi to be recruited, it just says that Kossi sought a trade to Richmond because he saw an opening with Jack retiring and that the possibility of playing along side Lynch and being schooled by the best appealed, (hence the article saying Lynch was a reason without Lynch realising it).Yeah, what's with the missing letters or words?? Cumbo's 'chutzpah'...
Yes, I see the similarities, I also see a bit of a resemblance in Gibbers to Randle McMurphy from One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, the Ooze is a dead ringer for Nurse Ratched too.
