Players are leaving Richmond quicker than rats on a sinking ship. They are in for a world of pain in the next few years akin to North and WCE.
I remember certain posters saying we needed to learn a thing or 2 about developing kids from what Richmond has done recently
At least they have three flags though.Players are leaving Richmond quicker than rats on a sinking ship. They are in for a world of pain in the next few years akin to North and WCE.

I guess for them though, better go through this pain now than in 2-3 years time like we endured twice when Suns / Giants came in. I suspect Melbourne may be one club that will experience hurt when Tassie comes in unless they get crafty.
Saw this earlier too:
There was a report somehwere else that Houston will link back up with Voss and join the Blues now.
The Dockers have 3 first round selections, could they get it done?Petracca will walk away from Melbourne if there was any way anybody could make it happen. But he's contracted through '27 and the logistics for anyone else would seem too high a mountain to climb.
Plus Melbourne know it's imperative they keep him otherwise a lot of things fall apart. They'll be working hard on the PR side and on Trac to get something out as soon as they practically can.
Danny Daly a left of field candidate for the WEagles job according to The West lol
...and we have done so in the past...for a much longer struggle period!I would happily take 3 flags in a 4-5 year period and then struggle for a while.

Been there and done that already...I would happily take 3 flags in a 4-5 year period and then struggle for a while.
He's contracted until end of 29 Martinson, so still 5 years to go.Petracca will walk away from Melbourne if there was any way anybody could make it happen. But he's contracted through '27 and the logistics for anyone else would seem too high a mountain to climb.

They were saying on one of the footy shows that Freo will have to stump those 3 first round picks for Bolton and Baker alone and even then they said Tigers could ask for more. That seems a lot to me thoughThe Dockers have 3 first round selections, could they get it done?
They are in a flag contention window, Petracca could be the last piece of the puzzle.
Agree, they have to try to re-build as quick as possible. More first round picks de-risk a potential relative bust (Tambling over Buddy, Longer over Green etc).We probably all thought that with Hawthorn too, look at them now. If this draft class is as good and even as the experts say, Richmond should go all in on it, it would likely speed up their rebuild.
If they bring in some old heads who can teach the kids work ethic even if it doesn't translate to on field success in the short term, they could bounce back within 2-3 years.
Richmond see Tassie coming, see what is happening at West Coast, and realise trying to rebuild with one first round pick per year, would be a long and painful process.Agree, they have to try to re-build as quick as possible. More first round picks de-risk a potential relative bust (Tambling over Buddy, Longer over Green etc).
No changes to the seeds in the end, altho for a short while there on Sunday it looked like Hawthorn would be barnstorming their way in!Well I didn't think I'd get to update these this week, but Mr Squiggle finally fixed up the scores from last Friday's game...

So the seeds are back
#1 (up 1) - Sydney 128% (#1 in attack, #6 in defence - down 3). Hardly convincing of course, but nobody else really wanted top spot it seems!
#2 (down 1) - Western Bulldogs 127% (#3 in attack, #3 in defence - down 2). Opened up by the relatively defensive Crows, so their rating takes a hit.
#3 - Brisbane 126% (#2 in attack, #8 in defence - down 1).
#4 (up 1) - Greater Western Sydney 114% (#6 in attack, #7 in defence - up 1).
Fremantle drop out of the seeds and down to #7 on the back of consecutive losses. 112% (#10 in attack - down 2, #4 in defence).
Carlton (somehow!) remain #4 in attack. 105%, #9 (down 2) overall and still #14 in defence.
St Kilda are promoted to the #1 defensive team. 93%, still #14 overall and #17 in attack.
Hawthorn meanwhile jump into these seeds for the first time all year. They are #2 for defence, and at 113% they are now rapidly closing in on a spot in the overall seeds. For now they are #5 overall and #9 in attack.
The model has us beating Collingwood (#11 overall, 102%, #7 in attack and #13 defensively) by 19 points.
That’s standard for every teams draft over a period.Two or three in that list may be busts as well.
