2025 lets have a look you bloody bastards

[Madtiger2006]

We might get 4-5 picks in the top 10-12. Will we look at trading Lynch?
Last 5 seasons pick 1 has been ready made and a bit of a weapon. Eg Daicos, Sheezel, Ashcroft, Reid, Horne Francis. We need to nail this one to strengthen the midfield straight away. Hopefully our next pick is a bit of a midfield gun to. I think our third pick needs to be a smaller half back/wing type who can help fill the void Rioli left. If we can nail 3 gems we can be competitive next year with half a dozen wins. Will be fun to see the team develop. I wouldn’t mind O’Brien from Crows as ruck depth as well. If our over 28s happened to get injured we’d look something like

Green Lefau Rioli
Mansell Balta Bauer
Clarke Taranto Campbell
Trezise Miller Smith
Banks Gibcus Brown
Oreilly Hopper Ross
Pick 1, Pick 4, Mcauliff Ralphsmith

I’d make Vlaustin captain as well

Grim. It's clear we need to hit on A graders with every damn pick

That team will win us another spoon for sure.

O Reiley (Reilly O'Brien) from the Crows as a depth ruck? He's one of the best tap ruckmen in the comp and 29 years old! I am uncertain how or why Richmond would set out to acquire his services...

Oops I meant O’Brien lol he’d be pretty handy for 2 years if he wanted out

Nah we’ll overtake north. They are stuck on 2-3 wins for years to come

[_RT_]

As it stands we're currently:

13th oldest list - average age
13th most experienced - average games played

We currently have 32 players signed for the 2025 season, with 26 senior listed and 6 rookies (includes 1 Cat B)

By the end of the trade period we will likely become younger and less experienced as Baker Bolton Graham & Rioli likely depart and then we have the unknown status of Blight Colina Coulthard Cumberland Dow McIntosh Smith & Trezise.

Then once we add the draftees in we will become even younger and less experienced, we could replace North as the youngest and least experienced side in the comp for 2025.

Nah … I’m sure our #1 pick will require five years to develop and his bout of COVID will set him back three years, but he’ll be tracking nicely in the meanwhile.

We’ll be close to the youngest list in 3 months. Can’t wait for the trade and draft period. Wonder which mids we’ll get

Depends on the offer for Lynch - anyone is tradeable or available if the offer is good enough. Personally I'm not sure I'd trade him though.

Assuming he's traded (or injured) like you have, and looking at your team, I think Brown should be in the forward line and Balta in the backline.

I think we can afford to play Balta forward with Gibcus and Miller taking the 2 key defensive spots. Bauer pretty much gets the third tall forward spot which allows Brown to go back. We’ll need his kicking skills out of defence

Balta doesn't work forward IMO.

R1 realistically should be Lynch, Brown & Bauer, with Lefau still recovering from his ACL and likely to aim for a mid-season return. Gray an option also.

Backline should be Balta, Gibcus and one of Miller/Blight. Can't remember when Young will be back. Didn't see enough of Blight but he was allegedly good in VFL. Miller started '24 well and ended dismally. Young had a good '23 but I thought his '24 was poor.

We have good options either end. Balta pretty capable as a forward. Usually kicks 2-3 goals. Excited about Gray and Fawcett too

2025 seems a bit far away, to many things going on in 2024 still….
