The rings are called 17, 19 & 20. Maybe keep an unused hole in the middle for the one that got away.

Maybe called the Gastro Gap

Calm down you lot, they are still training and on strict programs.

The Mike Tyson program didn’t work out too well for Balta.

Where do the Tigers sit?

The glory days of the Tigers are well and truly gone, now they are the young cubs.
After a tough first season at the helm, followed by a mass exodus of some senior players, what can Adem Yze do with all the talent at Tigerland?

SURPRISE PACKET OF 2024​

Seth Campbell played 21 of the Tigers’ 23 matches, won the club’s best first-year player award and finished 11th in Jack Dyer Medal polling. It was a strong return for the rookie-listed small forward/midfielder who was drafted from Burnie and North Launceston in Tasmania, and spent most of his first season in 2023 recovering from an adductor injury and leg issues. Campbell, who debuted in Opening Round, averaged 11.3 disposals, 2.9 marks, 2.7 inside-50s, 3.7 score involvements and kicked 10 goals. The 19-year-old earnt high praise from Richmond development coach Sam Lonergan at the club’s best-and-fairest night. “He’s going to be a highlights package of energy and excitement,” Lonergan said. “And he’s got great work ethic, dedication, along with great spirit. I’d like to commend our recruiting team for the work they’ve done with finding an absolute gem in the rough. He’s going to be a long-term player and a key part of our future.”

INS AND OUTS​

IN: Jasper Alger (No. 58 draft pick), Harry Armstrong (No. 23 draft pick), Jonty Faull (No. 14 draft pick), Taj Hotton (No. 12 draft pick), Sam Lalor (No. 1 draft pick), Thomas Sims (No. 28 draft pick), Josh Smillie (No. 7 draft pick), Luke Trainor (No. 21 draft pick)

F: Rhyan Mansell, Tom Lynch, Seth Campbell

I/C: Ben Miller, Sam Banks, Josh Smillie, Jacob Bauer, Thomson Dow

WHO’S PLAYING FOR A CONTRACT?​

Tom Lynch’s seven-season deal expires at the end of 2025 and it will be interesting to see what happens next. At 32 and after two premierships with the Tigers, does the key forward sign a 12-month extension or head to a contender? Lynch’s immediate goal will be to get back on the park. The former Gold Coast Suns spearhead has played just four games in each of the past two campaigns due to injuries.

COACH STATUS​

Adem Yze is entering the second season of his coaching career as his team undergoes a massive overhaul. The Tigers lost seven premiership players to other clubs or retirement at the end of the season while adding eight draftees, ensuring a very young squad in 2025 and very little pressure on the former Melbourne star. Richmond claimed the wooden spoon with a 2-21 record this year. Departed Tigers chief executive Brendon Gale expected Yze would take on more responsibility next season, telling the club’s Talking Tigers podcast in August the Richmond coach would “really start to put his fingerprints on the team”. “We think Adem’s extremely capable and I think he has carried himself really well,” Gale said. “He comes into a program that’s been successful, he’s followed a coach of historical standing (Damien Hardwick) and has got premiership players everywhere. I reckon he’s maybe sat back a little bit, coupled with an incredible, unprecedented run with injury. I reckon what you’ll see from Adem next year is a coach that takes a lot more responsibility.”

LAST YEAR IN CONTRACT​

Sam Banks, Jacob Bauer, Jacob Blight, Tom Brown, Judson Clarke, Thomson Dow, Liam Fawcett, Campbell Gray, Steely Green, Oliver Hayes-Brown, Tom Lynch, Kamdyn McIntosh, Dion Prestia, Kaleb Smith, Tyler Sonsie, James Trezise, Tylar Young

POSITION THAT NEEDS TO BE FILLED AND WHO CAN FILL IT?​

Rioli’s move to Gold Coast opens a spot at half-back, where Sam Banks and Hugo Ralphsmith loom as players who can help fill the void. Banks did not miss a game after the Tigers’ bye this year, for a total of 15 last season, his third at AFL level. Tasmanian Banks featured in defence and on a wing in 2024, but was drafted as a half-back. Ralphsmith lined up in 18 matches this year and finished equal-16th in the best-and-fairest. While he featured regularly on a wing, he might be an option to move to defence with Rioli gone.

BURNING QUESTION​

How many wins is realistic next season? Richmond’s two victories in Yze’s debut campaign as senior coach were against eventual grand finalist Sydney at the MCG by five points in round 5 and the Crows in Adelaide by eight points in round 15. Since then three of the top six in the Tigers’ best-and-fairest have departed and the squad has got a whole lot younger. Crows premiership captain Mark Bickley predicted Richmond would be winless in 2025. That seems unrealistic. It has not happened since Fitzroy in 1964 and similarly inexperienced teams in the AFL era have always notched at least one victory. In the club’s second season in 2013, GWS went 1-21. Three years later, an Essendon team missing 12 experienced players through doping violation suspensions had three wins. Strugglers North Melbourne and West Coast recorded two triumphs each in 2023. With premiership players like Toby Nankervis, Nathan Broad, Nick Vlastuin and Jayden Short still at Tigerland, and such an even competition, two to four wins seems a more likely outcome.

Footy pre-season is back as players casually wandered back into clubs on Thursday morning.
Tom Lynch eased into full training as Noah Balta joined his teammates to re-start pre-season on Thursday.

Most clubs have taken it easy on their return to clubs - with Richmond hosting a barbecue before a light session as defender Nick Vlastuin happily rolled into the Punt Road car park topless in the morning.

Defender Balta arrived early on Thursday and didn’t answer questions from media as he stepped into the club for the first time after being charged with assault.

He was on track with teammates as usual.

Lynch stepped straight into the main group after playing just eight games in the past two years as he builds up to take his place in Richmond’s round 1 side.



Skipper Toby Nankervis, midfielder Dion Prestia, forward Mykelti Lefau and defender Josh Gibcus were among a large group of Tigers training away from the main group to start the session.

No.1 draft pick Sam Lalor had been on light duties through his first pre-season following a serious hamstring injury late in his draft year but was straight in with the main group to start the new year.

Breakout defender Tom Brown had also been hampered by ankle and shoulder woes before Christmas but he joined the main group on Thursday.

Noah Balta …the club has come down like a ton of bricks….


Richmond star Noah Balta has been suspended for four AFL matches as a result of the off-field incident that led to him being charged with assault.

Balta will also miss the Tigers's two pre-season games, and complete education programming and undertake counselling.


That’s really harsh ( but I don’t know the full extent of what happened)…but still!

Tommy Hafey would have had these campaigners busting a gut at dawn not rocking up at midday.

Ok to wrap up

The second coming occurred on November 20th. We are unsure at this stage who the second coming is. But we do know the anointed one will have a group of handy disciples along side him.

The second coming was the on 26th of November 2009 when Dusty was drafted

So now we're waiting for the third
