Richmond ruckman Samson Ryan provided a highlight at training when he nailed a long-range goal.
There’s no doubt Richmond will miss the wizardry and spark that the mercurial Shai Bolton brought to its forward half over the past eight years.
But a Tiger who lit up the track on a sweltering Friday morning at Punt Rd looks ready to step up and fill the sizeable void.
Rhyan Mansell has come back to the Tigers fit as a fiddle, but it was his craft around goal that caught the eye most.
The 24-year-old was putting the Sherrin through the big sticks for fun during match simulation, getting goalside numerous times with nimble footwork.

Mansell played 21 games for 21 goals this year and that output looks set to skyrocket in 2025.

In one passage of play, Mansell flew over his opponent in a marking contest to bring the ball to ground, then landed like a cat before collecting his prize at ground level to slot a major.

Donning his fresh number seven on a training guernsey, Mansell was one of the last Tigers to leave the track as he completed some extra work post the session.

No. 1 draft pick Sam Lalor wasn’t involved in main training as he continues his recovery from a high-grade hamstring injury.

Lalor was on the park but only took part in some light work away from majority of the action.

Josh Smillie was one of the few draftees to take part in the match play, wowing onlookers with a no-look handball in congestion to set his teammate away.

Skipper Toby Nankervis was inside also completing a modified program, allowing other leaders to take charge.

Dion Prestia, the oldest player at the club, was vocal throughout the morning and addressed the main group during a break in training.

Internally the Tigers see Prestia as another coach and his on-field leadership will be vital with so many senior players leaving the club in the off-season.

Noah Balta commanded the backline, flanked by Jacob Koschitzke for periods of match simulation.

Koschitzke was the everywhere man, also spending time up forward and in the ruck.

The former Hawk does seem more likely to start the season in defence as Richmond looks to integrate a number of their key-position draftees into the forward line as well as the returning Tom Lynch.

Samson Ryan took control of ruck duties in the absence of Nankervis and nailed a monster goal on the run from a stoppage, with the ball carrying all of 80 metres.

The Tigers suffered a disastrous season on the injury front this year, but things are looking promising heading into 2025.

Mykelti Lefau, Josh Gibcus, Tylar Young and Judson Clarke are the only players currently ruled out of round 1 as they recover from their respective ACL injuries.

Tom Brown is set to re-join main training after Christmas following shoulder surgery that ended his 2024 campaign early.

Draftee Tom Sims spent his first week at Tigerland ill, but is now out on the track.

PLAYERS WHO IMPRESSED​

Kamdyn McIntosh

Richmond waited to give Kamdyn McIntosh a list spot until after the trade period, but the veteran looks to have taken that in his stride this pre-season. The 30-year-old finished second in the 2km time trial at the end of last month and his running power was on show again on Friday. McIntosh continually found space in match play by using sheer work rate and his bullet passes hit up his teammates with precision. Should be able to play the 10 matches he needs to bring up a deserved 200-game milestone for the club.

Tom Lynch

A full pre-season is set to help Tom Lynch get out on the field and stay there in 2025. Lynch has had a heavily interrupted last two years at Richmond, playing just eight games out of a possible 46. The Tigers are pleased with his current condition and the dual premiership player was able to partake in some contact drills where he confidently stood up to dish off a handpass while being tackled. It’s vital that Lynch plays senior football this year to show the way in the Tigers’ young forward line.

Seth Campbell

The teenager looks set to create plenty of problems for defenders alongside Mansell in the front half for Richmond next year. Campbell is looking super fit, using his pace to explode away from those willing to try and keep up with him. His creativity around goal was also on show, slotting a goal from the pocket off one step during match simulation.

What a article. Shai Bolton is akin to a Rolls Royce or Angus Filet Mignon. Mansell is like a dented up ford escort on blocks surrounded by overgrown weeds out the front of a housing commission place and the gristle stuck between the teeth of a meth head after eating a 4 n 20 pie.

With Clarke, Alger, Hotton and Steely Green, hell even porkie MRJ on our list, if Mansell is still best 22 towards latter part of 2025 we're even sh1tter than I thought. 2024 worst season in history, Yze needs to move on from list cloggers like Mansell, Dow and McIntosh ASAP or he can vacate the seat for our next premiership coach.

Isn’t that what the article is suggesting? If not mansell then who?

Mansell is the next Mansell.
Lalor is the next Lalor
Smilie is the next Smilie
Hotton is the next Hotton

Player comparisons do no favors to anyone involved.

What a article. Shai Bolton is akin to a Rolls Royce or Angus Filet Mignon. Mansell is like a dented up ford escort on blocks surrounded by overgrown weeds out the front of a housing commission place and the gristle stuck between the teeth of a meth head after eating a 4 n 20 pie.

He's no Bolton that's for sure - he actually tries for the whole game for a start. He's unlikely to match Bolton's goals output but he's also unlikely to match his stupid free kicks against output or dumb 50s either.

He'll be best 22 for most of 2025 for 2 main reasons - 1) He is fitter than those competing against him for his spot (and he doesn't have many competing with him) and 2) He has a crack - He's just a modern day Jake King. Coaches love guys that give 100% effort.

Will he be in our next finals team? I doubt it but he'll play a lot of footy if not injured in 2025.

This article reminds me of those times where my mother used to say something like "we already have Oreos at home" and it turns out to be Coles brand chocolate biscuits. You know, it's just not the same.

Sorry to say, but Mansell is Coles brand Bolton. Just not the same.

Mansell will kick 30+ goals in 2025

Too much rabbit hole.

Haha how do people have this much time on their hands to create accounts and just wait to shitpost.

Have to say I’m impressed

The big difference is the journal. Which asks a lot of questions and really pushes you to complete each day. So for a professional athlete it would be a big help. Reality is they al carry journals these days anyway. My daughter is required and she’s only u14.

(Hilariously the whoop journal also asks about mastebation and sexual activity. I was a bit reluctant to add that given sometimes the activity may not be with the missus )

I genuinely love fitness data and I do a lot of training, so it actually really, genuinely, interests me. But like I said, I do have a good Garmin. I guess I just wonder how much more info / benefit it would give me.

Maybe I'll give it a try

Bolton’s ability in the air and his pace and evasiveness on the deck is unparralled .
His defensive game , discipline and finishing however can be extremely poor .
Mansell has next to zero aerial ability and likewise evassiveness he is somewhat bash and crash , but is quite accurate has a very good defensive game which generally means his output is extremely consistent .
Two completely different players and personally I think Mansell is more suited to a developing team .

 

[sante]

I like Mansell but he shouldn’t be anywhere near our top 10 or so players, he plays an important role in the side though

Agree. Bolton is a cherry on top player. Very good player most likely in the elite category when he’s up and about and the team is firing.

No one can deny his commitment to the cause.
You always have a couple of these types on your list, no matter where you sit on the ladder. Coaches love them, for what they bring game day and on the track.
But yeah having him highlighted in preseason articles is a reflection of where we are at the moment.

 

[tiger_tough]

Mansell > Shane Bolton

 

[Noidnadroj]

Sorry to say, but Mansell is Coles brand Bolton. Just not the same.

I agree that Mansell will never reach the heights of Bolton as a player. But 21 goals from 21 games in a wooden spoon team is a bloody good effort. With another year of improvement there’s no reason he can’t become a 30+ goal per season player.

Add in elite forward pressure and the fact he’s hard as a cat’s head and we’ve got a bloody good player that didn’t seem likely 12-months ago.

A fit Hopper is a star. Will be needed even more so next couple of years whilst the young guys develop. No way knowing you’d be throwing the newbies to the wolves without protection.
To say he doesn’t warrant a spot is fanciful and delusional.

Hopper has never been a star. Good player at his best? Star. Nope. Let's not throw that around casually.

Also, he last played his best football in 2021. Well over 3 years ago now. A year before we even traded for him. We traded for a broken down, average on field version of him and that's what we've gotten for 2 years.
