I just don’t see how cutting list sizes improves football. What is the point?!? It was a stupid idea floated early in the piece when covid first hit and somehow it stuck.

Waterman’s making a bit of a statement. He’s had a couple 15-20 disposal, multiple goal games this year. Unfortunately his age and reduced list sizes may work against him next year.
I think it'd be weak as piss of the players association if they choose job cuts over a collective pay reduction.
Jeez it’d be a good story though wouldn’t it.
Forgotten oldest son of club stalwart, AFL dream crushed by illness only to bounce back in his 20s and finally make the grade. Chuck in the hot-shot younger brother trying to blaze his own trail.
Shit, I’d buy tickets to that.

He only turns 25 next year, so age shouldn't be a big issue.
Could replace Reid.

Marlion Pickett could be an unrestricted free agent and the end of this year, and could be picked up without giving away draft picks. In the pre season game between Richmond and GWS, commentators spoke about a "WA club was interested in Pickett last trade season, however salary cap meant a trade couldn't happen". Pickett barracked for West Coast, including going to 2018 GF.
Next year Stack will be in the same boat where he could become a free agent. We should really be planning to make a play at one or both of these guys over the next couple of years.
Richmond are in a great place with their list management, but also not without challenges in retaining all their players, especially if list sizes and rookie spots are cut.
Interested to hear people's perspective on this. Article below:

"Richmond have the maximum six Category A rookies in 2020 – Jake Aarts, Liam Baker, Mabior Chol, Derek Eggmolesse-Smith, Marlion Pickett and Sydney Stack – and all are currently regulars in coach Damien Hardwick’s best 22.
Three of those rookies – Aarts, Pickett, Eggmolesse-Smith – are out of contract. Under AFL rules, players who have been on the rookie list for two years or more can reject another rookie contract and become unrestricted free agents.
But if rookie list spots are cut next year, as expected, it would put Richmond under enormous pressure to make room for its rookies on its primary list, which is capped at 40 in 2020 but is no certainty to remain so next season."

The rookie list conundrum Richmond will face
Richmond is facing a rookie list dilemma as it grapples with a way to shield its talent-laden playing list from poachers.

He's 29 in January.
No reason we couldn't offer a 2 year deal to help our depth in the midfield. At the end of 2 year deal he will be almost 31 and who knows what position he will be in.
At the moment he is on rookie wages (pre-covid is 85K) + match payments.
Give him a spot on the main list and that is minimum 110K + match payments.

AFLPA is run by players at the top, wouldn’t be surprised.
Really should be a collective pay cut. I don’t think they understand the ramifications that it will have on a team that gets a huge injury list.

Just had a question for you guys, you always hear about how the Giants, Tigers etc are close to their salary cap and need to offload their depth pieces.
I was just wondering how do you think the Eagles are doing salary cap wise?
You guys probably have the best 22 in the comp when they are all available. So do you think that you may need to offload some of your depth guys or have enough of your stars taken pay cuts?

I personally think we would be tight on the cap. We have a lot of guy on big contracts. I think its one of the reasons Masten was chopped.

Does anyone watch Sth Freo regularly? Is Ben Rioli good, keeps getting in the best each week off limited possessions.
26 years old, but could be a good fwd option with late pick?

Can't see us giving up Duggan for a 1-gamer when we are in the window
I think Atkins would be worth a look. We could use some more outside run. Really only have Gaff for that at present
I'd give Petch up. He really doesn't seem to have much to his game other than using his pace to get out the back. Needs to find more ways to get in the game. Can't see it happening
Get Willie back before finals next year, pick up Cyril and Ben. Hopefully we would be able to give Cyril the 33 as well.

I think we are probably tight but not in the worst position.
Big contracts are probably Gaff, Gov and TK, which is probably a similar amount to what you have in Dusty and Lynch. Nic would be a fairly reasonable price (signed a much smaller contracts after 2 knee recons) for massive return when fit. JK and Hurn would be small year to year contracts. A lot of depth ie Rotham, Cole, Waterman are younger and on first or second contracts and probably still fairly cheap.
I could see us losing some younger players looking for pay rises, but I think we would be very careful who we would let go.
