You have to play firsts to be a whipping boy
For me it will come from one of.
A) old players who’s form drops off a lot but keeps getting played - e.g. jack / grimes / cotch
B) traded in recruit makes costly errors - Taranto a risk if his kicking as bad as some say - Prestia copped it massively year 1
C) 2nd year player suffering second year blues - e,g, if sonsie drops off or Gibcus doesn’t improve from late season showings
D) tivendale / Hyde
E) short
I’ll stick with E
George, Mansell top of the potential delist list at this point. With Riewoldt, Cotch and Tarrant all sure to retire there may not be many delisting's next year.
Where would we play him Streaker?
Too small for onball. We have a star studded small forward brigade.
Reckon Cumberland, MRJ and Clarke ahead of him of the youngsters plus Duz and Shai.
Can't see where why we'd pick him up
Agree in general @tigerdell
I posted that in response to Butch67's query on whether we would look at any delisted players.
Crowden was the only one I could think of, simply because we had looked at possibly trading for him previously.
Would be a depth player for us, and we could do worse, but seems very unlikely we are looking for that type of player.
He is small (although slightly taller than Bakes), but he is the type of player we like. Gives it absolutely everything.
Needs a combination of composure and awareness of what's happening around him, like a few others. Assessment of where the danger is from opposition tacklers, where the best option is for delivery to a team mate and skill to deliver accurately by hand or foot. Too much like an "energizer bunny" wanting to dart here and there without quite knowing what he should do and just poor contested skills, especially contested marking at AFL level. His endeavour to keep trying and to rack up possessions made him a useful seconds player. That's where he and the other three have reached their right level (Stack with attitude, not talent). Some develop past that and some don't and we usually don't know who will get better until they are given a chance. Good luck in your future football endeavours.
I’m not sure we can or want to , however I wonder if we’ve considered packaging up our excellent 2 picks this year with a future pick to move up the draft this year just for the one pick
Anyone who chooses (A) is not a true Richmond supporter and should be banned for life from this site.
Others are fair game.

Already sold our first pick next year, means we're not allowed to sell any more of next years picks. AFL honcho's won't allow clubs to sell off their long term future
33 - Senior listed players including pickett , Taranto & Hopper
4 - Rookie listed players (Mansell , Biggy , Miller , Bauer)
1- Cat B Rookie listed player (Mate' Colina)
I believe we need to have min 36 senior listed players which would mean either we select 3 players at the draft or we senior list 1 more player likely to be Miller which would leave us with 3 Rookies on the rookie A list
so most likely we take
2 players at the ND with picks #53 + #63 or 1 in the draft and 1 pre season draft if we decide to have train on players
2 Rookie list players which would allow 1 spot for mid season draft

Maybe as an Aarts replacement?
Especially if we don't keep Aarts in the vfl program!
But we can agree that it's unlikely.
With Taranto and Hopper we,ve filled the age gap, so it's likely we go for youngsters and project rookies
Mansell was upgraded to main list in August last year
Presently we have
33 on main list
4 Rookies, Miller, Marlion ( needs to be & will be upgraded at list lodgement time) Bauer & Biggie
1 Cat B, Colina
The list rules last 2 years were
| Minimum 37 players all up on list |
| Maximum 44 players all up on list inc 2 Cat B |
| Minimum 36 & max 38 on main list |
| 4-6 Cat A Rookies |
| 2 Cat B Rookies |
Just Pickett, Miller has only been on the Rookie list for 2 years.
Yeah me too. He has good pace and good goal sense. 23 years old. Depending on what the recruiting team are after, I wouldn't say no to Rowe, would be a handy rookie pickup.
