I recall in '20 the media wanted us to believe our Club was basically imploding before our very eyes, we ended up winning the flag!

Big supporter base means $'ssssssssssssssssssssssss for the vultures.

Absolute waste of time watching this. It's wrong in so many ways I wouldn't even know where to start

 

[Wrenny]

KiwiTiger can you confirm if Dusty was on the camp?

 

[ArtiChoked]

GAJ was a father son, so that should rule him out

Just an accumulator mate. Agree with Carey top 19 since 2000.

You know what I’m an old campaigner have seen 8 premierships , the last three have been a bonus as until 2013 I dint believe we were ever gonna play finals again let alone win a premiership much let three more if he does he does , if he doesn’t I have been privileged to have seen the two greates players to play the game in K Bartlett and D Martin , stop fearing the sky will fall

Royce is on the phone for you

 

[SunshineBoy]

Royce is on the phone for you

He was a great player but KB did it for longer, and I reckon he still had 50 games in him when he hung up the boots

Dane Swan at 8 Not even near the top 20. Seriously, who'd pick Swan before Hodge, both Riewoldts, Max Gawn, Rance and Scarlett?

Dusty and Buddy clearly #1 and #2

 

[DickieKnee]

Trent as a pressure forward could be delicious.

Shouldn’t be on this list if you don’t have a premiership

Trent as a pressure forward could be delicious.

Licenced to assassinate Tom Stewart, The Footscray Helmet, and Nick Daicos

Will he play the Lambo role?

Cant see what other role he could play up forward.

Trent as a pressure forward could be delicious.

Cant see it.

They used a points system. These are the rankings based on the points system applied (for example 100 points for a Norm Smith, 100 points for a Brownlow etc) so under that points system, that's the order they finished in. It wasn't based on their opinion.

 

[captain blood 17]

I have to ask, what is the source of everyone's unshakeable belief that Martin will tare the comp to shreds this year? His last two years have been mediocre by his salary and the hourglass flows forward. When was the last time that a 31 year old tore the comp apart?

I can see he could be a low end A grade player this year. However, if you read some people's posts here, he is definitely going to win a Brownlow and any other result is near impossible.

Yeah, no probs, i'll bust your kidney in half, watch you drop 10 kilos, then see how you cope with a significant person in your life passing away, then deal with the scrutiny, and i'll throw in two hamstrings to as well. Yeah, that Martin, what a weak prick for not coping in season 2022.

Pre-season news: Jack Graham and Tom Lynch expected to play in practice games​

Two Tiger premiership stars are set to play in next month’s practice matches after recovering from off-season injury concerns. However, the news is not as good for one young Tiger. Get the latest AFL pre-season news here.

Richmond premiership stars Tom Lynch and Jack Graham will be fit for the club’s pair of pre-season clashes after overcoming worrying foot injuries that have hampered their pre-seasons.
Tigers football boss Tim Livingstone said on Sunday Lynch (plantar fascia) and Graham (turf toe) would join main training in the next fortnight and were on track for round 1.
Richmond will enter round 1 as the favourites against a Carlton side that broke a long losing streak against the Tigers in last year’s season opener.
But as Richmond builds for those pre-season games with Dustin Martin in exceptional shape and dominating the club’s early match simulation, a young draftee will be sidelined for months.
Livingstone told News Corp the club’s first live draft pick in Kaleb Smith (selection 49) will be sidelined for six to eight weeks with foot bone stress that will curtail an exciting few months of training at Punt Road.

Richmond used up plenty of draft capital securing GWS midfield pair Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper but had been enthused by Smith’s breakaway pace and precise ball use.
Damien Hardwick’s Tigers will resume their regular battles with an Alastair Clarkson-coached side in the official match simulation when they take on North Melbourne on Friday February 24 before an official pre-season game on March 4 against Melbourne at Casey Fields.
Lynch’s last act of the 2022 season was kicking the contentious score ruled a behind in the knockout final against Brisbane and after being eased through training Richmond believes he is over his plantar fascia issues.
“Lynchy is progressing well with his rehab,” Livingstone said.
“He will look to begin skills with the main group in the coming weeks. The plan is for him to play game time in practice matches. We are just taking it slowly and carefully and making sure it’s right. We are pretty confident it will be fine. He seems to be running OK and has no issues at the moment.

“Everything is coming along nicely for him and I would almost cut and paste with Jack Graham. We will look to begin skills in coming weeks and game time in practice matches. The plan is that those guys will be available in round 1.”
Martin had a significantly interrupted summer entering the 2022 season as he rehabbed an internal injury, took time away from the club after round 1 and battled multiple hamstring issues.
But the proof of his renewed fitness and motivation has been obvious on the training track in early scrimmages.
“He is training well. He is fit and anyone that has been down to see any of our match sim stuff would see that he’s been playing some terrific footy. He is preparing well,” Livingstone said.
RICHMOND’S SUMMER TRAINING UPDATE
Richmond is yet to decide whether to play two regular ruckmen but is determined to settle down Liam Baker and Noah Balta into defensive roles in their backline alongside Nick Vlastuin, Dylan Grimes, Nathan Broad, Jayden Short and Daniel Rioli.
“It is a challenge for us. Big Ivan Soldo is having a good pre-season, we have him and ‘Nank’ as ruck prospects,” said Livingstone.
“Ben Miller finished off the season well last year and he can give us great flexibility. He can play back, he can play on ball and showed some good signs down forward so we have some options. Noah has been doing most of his training down back as has Liam Baker this pre-season. So we are looking to have a good settled back six down there.”

DEFENDER ON ROAD TO RECOVERY
Josh Gibcus will be back running in weeks after hamstring surgery that will put him out for the early rounds of the season but ex-Roos full back Robbie Tarrant has not missed a beat after his strong back half to the 2022 season.
“He is a terrific guy. He prepares meticulously, a great athlete and he would say himself it took him a little while last year to settle into our system but once he did he played some terrific footy and he gives us great options down there down back depending on match-ups,” Livingstone said.
QUARTET OF YOUNG CUBS IMPRESS
Damien Hardwick’s claim that the most exciting part of Richmond’s list was its future has been borne out by strong summers from wingman Sam Banks, half back Tom Brown, midfielder Tyler Sonsie and medium-forward Judson Clarke.
Along with No. 9 pick Gibcus those five players from the 2021 national draft all have huge potential, with Banks much-hyped inside Richmond as a wingman who could have an impact this year.
“Judson Clark got a taste of it last year and did some terrific things in the games he played. He just does everything right and loves being at the club and loves training,” Livingstone said.
“We saw what Josh (Gibcus) did. Tyler Sonsie came in the second half of the season and the second year he is getting a pre-season under his belt which is exciting.
“We have high hopes for Sam Banks and Tom Brown. They are showing exciting signs in the match sim so far and we would love to see them play senior footy this year because they have got real talent.
“Sam has been doing a bit of wing work and runs those patterns well and uses the footy well and Tom Brown can make it over head and can mark it, so he’s been practising mainly across half back.”

HIGH HOPES FOR LAST YEAR’S DRAFTEES
Richmond selected two national draftees and a pair of rookie selections and while none came before pick 49 (Kaleb Smith) the Tigers still have high hopes for that selection of players.
“To be honest we have been really excited about what they have been able to do thus far. Kaleb will be held up a little bit but he is explosive with the ball, has genuine speed and uses it well,” said Livingstone.
“Seth Campbell (pick 12 in the rookie draft) is a natural goalkicker and clean and has been terrific in his approach, as has Steely Green (pick 55 in the national draft) who attacks the contest with ferocity. He is a bit like ‘Bakes’ (Liam Baker) and was happy to take the number he had when he started. Tylar Young (pick 26 in the rookie draft) has been in our VFL program for a little while and hasn’t put a foot wrong. He has great athleticism for a big guy and he will benefit from having an AFL pre-season at 196cm. We think he may have a future, this young fella.”

FINAL SPOT QUERY
The Tigers are not yet set on whether it will use its vacant list spot as ex-Geelong clearance specialist Quinton Narkle and Corowa-Rutherglen forward Kaelan Bradtke push to be listed at Punt Road.

“We have got until February 15 so it’s a really tough decision,” Livingstone said.
“Both Quinton Narkle and Kaelan Bradtke have been impressive with their work ethic and character, so we can choose one or choose to hold. We are comparing a key with a mid and there is a bit of match sim coming up so we can make a decision when we get closer.”

Is he going to weigh everyone one is he?, hold off the turps for at least breakfast m8!

 

[one eyedtiger]

This will excite plenty, from Livingstone (from the article above)

Noah has been doing most of his training down back as has Liam Baker this pre-season. So we are looking to have a good settled back six down there.”

Should clarify the Noah he is referring to Balta and not Cumberland. We don't need campaigners thinking Cumberland is being turned into a HBF
