Not sure why we even have a rookie list any more. Just make it a list of however many players is appropriate, 40, 42, 45, whatever, and be done with it.
Rookies are identical in every respect to players on the main list.
This is your second greatest post ever.Id rather keep Stack, MartYn and Aarts before RCD

True, however all the other players in the team should also have shown the same improvement and increases but that didn’t really happen.posters keep pointing to RCD's last few games- reality is he got kicks against suburban standard teams.
over his last 8 games of the year he got 25+ against the 21st, 20th, 19th, 18th and 17th placed VFL teams. he got 20 or less against the 2nd, 6th and 14th placed teams.
I'm taking another view, if he is getting to more contests then his aerobic capacity is improving, the quality of opponents is a secondary issue at this stage.posters keep pointing to RCD's last few games- reality is he got kicks against suburban standard teams.

Yep, most (not all but most) good players show signs early and often. Regardless of where they are drafted or their level of development they adapt quickly to the professional environment, debut early and by their third year in the system, injuries permitting, they are regulars in the 22. Maybe fours years for talls. Of course there are exceptions but they are just that, exceptions.Turnover of list crucial. RCD, Martyn, Aarts all should go. Dow saved by existing contract. Stacky on the precipice.
Replace with shiny new kids.
Won't belong alrightW

RCD maybe but Stacky certainly won’t last to the rookie list. Should be Re contacted on main list asap.RCD & Stack on the Rookie list
V
Pick #88 + #97
which enables Richmond to have more depth in the next 2 years whilst going for a premiership
Can still rookie though, I reckon someone may take a punt on RCD & Stack, will be interesting.All 4 have been delisted
Collier-Dawkins was picked as a 4 year project, he's had 4 years but probably starting to hit AFL fitness levels. It's a tough one but for a rookie pick probably a well weighted risk.Seriously what’s the point of Rookie the four ?
No point
The 4 couldn’t hold down a spot
Give 4 others an opportunity
Even if he was a 4 year project player, it’s still a fail when he isn’t even in our best 30 players.Collier-Dawkins was picked as a 4 year project, he's had 4 years but probably starting to hit AFL fitness levels. It's a tough one but for a rookie pick probably a well weighted risk.
