Byre. Bytel. Kreuger delisted

Collingwood thanks Bytel, Eyre and Kreuger

Collingwood has informed Jack Bytel, Josh Eyre, and Nathan Kreuger they will not be offered contracts with the Club for 2025.

Krueger, Eyre and Bytel gone

Perryman comes in for Sidebottom.

Sidey had a great last 6 weeks, let's not forget he was awful before then.

Sidey should be depth.

He just came 5th in the Copeland. Bit more than depth. "Awful" is clearly wrong.

Im largely with Beeg here. Sidey was awful when he played on the wing - old slow, fumbly. He was okish as a half back (still way below the Sidey we know and love) but was a revelation when played as a tagger. Shut his opponent down, while winning possessions and clearances. Can he sustain that for more than 6 weeks? We shall find out...

FWIW, I nearly fell off my chair when he (and Pendles) finished so highly in the Copeland. Talk about tyranny of the midfield. IMO flankers like WHE and Howe had good seasons, played their roles much better than Sidey did for most of the season, yet this wasnt reflected/appreciated in the Copeland

Krueger, Eyre and Bytel gone

We can lock in tomlinson and Membrey then

 

[satanshoof101]

Byre. Bytel. Kreuger delisted

Do you think that is it? Dean, Reef, Long, Sullivan get new deals?

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Krueger, Eyre and Bytel gone

Always a sad day when players are delisted.

 

[Jen2310]

Shame about eyre given he didn't get a real good run at it, coming off his injury
But not surprised by Bytel or Kreuger.

But seems good news for Reef.

 

[Jen2310]

Do you think that is it? Dean, Reef, Long, Sullivan get new deals?

It appears that will be the case.

Speaking of spoon windows. Richmond have all, but locked in a North Melbourne period of ineptitude by trading out their three best players. In response the media are all “erhmagerd the best draft hand since the expansion” and at last look that bounty of draft picks has delivered 0 premierships.

The saving grace for them is that their hand was forced, but to be lauding them and declaring them a “winner” of the trade period is ridiculous. In 3 years time this off season for them will be viewed in a similar vein to Melbourne shipping out their veterans in the early 2010’s and North later that decade. Serious question who are they beating in 2025? They’ll be deathbed Fitzroy bad for at least the next two seasons and that’s if they don’t have Taranto crack the shits and demand a trade.

Agreed - it's very strange position from the media to labelling Richmond as the "winners" of the trade pool right now - 5 years from now we'll be able to make that call because we will have seen what has become of these picks and draftees.

Tbh though - I don't mind the approach from Richmond, it's the polar inverse of us in a way in that they are all "chips in" on starting again - and having 3 flags in 4 years does probably buy them the luxury of a bit of time to fully commit to it before the drums start beating overly loudly.

It will be interesting to watch, as aside from the expansion clubs joining, we haven't really seen such a new build in recent years - even when North went through a similar process they folded and paid big money moves for the like of Dal Santo, Higgins and Polec throughout that time. Will Richmond follow similar and target these sort of types? Or will they fully dedicate to building from within? Personally I hope it's the latter and we see what fully comes of it.

 

[TradeDraft]

Shocked Eyre was let go

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Do you think that is it? Dean, Reef, Long, Sullivan get new deals?

Reef was signed up yesterday, apparently.

 

[Maggie5]

It remains to be seen. In my opinion Yze is very good.

I like him as well. This year Richmond were decimated with injuries.
He might be good with rebuilding.

 

[AmericanMustard]

Should be able to save some room in the soft cap with Kreuger gone now

Had this confirmed. DFAs cannot be signed until the DFA period. Shame. You even got a few likes for your highlighting. Better luck next time.

 

[Doc1763]

Thankfully, in terms of our nemesis being Brisbane, they have lost their most important front half player. I think that will be even more impactful than our losing Murphy

The Suitcase will now be getting the best defender

 

[eyeroller]

Sad to see Kreugs go. The potential is there but… I get it

 

[gerryg400]

They had a chance to open a premiership window, but instead chose to reduce the likelihood of opening a spoon window in 7 years time.

Carlton’s premiership window is so close they can almost smell it.

 

[TradeDraft]

Reckon we Sign Membery as a DFA and look to put Hayes and Tomlinson on as Possible Rookies

I absolutely love what Richmond has done for the 17 other clubs in the AFL.

Looking forward to a result similar to 2004:

1. Deledio
4. Tambling
12. Meyer
16. Pattison
20. Polo

Notable misses by the Tigers in the top 10:

Jarryd Roughead
Lance Franklin
Jordan Lewis
Chris Egan

You know why the tyranny of the midfield exists? It's because that's the most important part of the field and they are the most important and best players. The only reason non-key position players find out they are forwards or defenders is because they first find out they aren't mids.

Reckon we Sign Membery as a DFA and look to put Hayes and Tomlinson on as Possible Rookies

Probably more delist and rookie some seniors to add to the rookie list to open up senior spots

If membrey takes richards spot on the list
Kreuger opens up 1 spot
So we need to open up 2 more, so prob maybe ash and someone else go on the rookie list. Reef maybe.

 

[soreplums]

We can lock in tomlinson and Membrey then

Currently we have 4 list spots open I think? Maybe just one with three to be taken draft night?

 

[LuckyLee]

Brisbane should take a punt on Krueger as a DFA.
