I'm confused?
After the trade period ends, then it's time to see the best 23 for 2023.

"Not many changes are needed to a side that won the Grand Final by 81 points. The defence is young and healthy.
Elder statesman
Mitch Duncan may play a similar role to
Joel Selwood this season, coming off the bench and missing a game here and there to keep him fresh. New recruit
Jack Bowes will likely be the first cab off the rank to fill a midfield or back-flank spot should form/injury warrant a change.
In the forward line,
Gary Rohan’s age may mean he also misses the odd game to rest up, with
Ollie Henry a handy replacement as he tries to earn a regular spot in the dynamic, pressurised Cats forward line.
Others on the outer such as new recruit
Tanner Bruhn, Sam Menegola, Jonathon Ceglar, and Esava Ratugolea may have to wait their turn to break into the reigning premiers’ side.
With Pick 7 also in the upcoming National Draft, it is an enviable position Geelong finds itself in."
So from me - As well as losing their inspirational leader, a four-time premiership player
not one of the three new recruits from the '10/10 media graded' trade period are named in their best 23?
Richmond
B: Nathan Broad, Robbie Tarrant, Dylan Grimes
HB: Nick Vlastuin, Noah Balta, Daniel Rioli
C: Marlion Pickett,
Tim Taranto, Kamdyn McIntosh
HF: Maurice Rioli Jr, Jack Riewoldt, Shai Bolton
F: Noah Cumberland, Tom Lynch, Dustin Martin
FOLL: Toby Nankervis, Dion Prestia,
Jacob Hopper
I/C: Trent Cotchin
, Jayden Short, Ivan Soldo, Liam Baker
Medical Sub: Jack Graham
"Richmond was one of the many winners from the trade period as it put itself firmly back into premiership contention in 2023.
Although the Tigers have lost experienced premiership players,
Shane Edwards and
Kane Lambert, their midfield won’t lose much talent bringing in two former Giants in
Jacob Hopper and
Tim Taranto.
With the depth of the midfield group now expanded, Richmond can use its best six in many different ways. Both Taranto and Hopper are powerful inside midfielders, who can roll forward which will allow the likes of
Shai Bolton and
Dustin Martin to push through the middle as well."
From me - So they named both the Richmond in-comings in the best 23.
How did they win the draft? Bringing in bench sitters?
