I don't know how to access the data and don't have the time. I've come up with a couple of measures of how to determine how much of a feeder club your club is.
# How many former players have left to win premierships elsewhere. (in my mind Stengle would count for both Richmond & Adelaide)

# How many premiership players you have that started their careers on other lists.

You could also replace premierships with finals won if you wanted a bigger dataset that gives better coverage of the competition.

I think you'd only go back to the introduction of Free Agency otherwise the trade rules aren't comparing apples, it ensures an 18 team competition, keeping it recent means the data gives a better indication of how a club is going now. The 90s or 00s were so different to now.

Would anyone be game? or have a channel to reach out to Mr Swamp?

I heard Tom Stewart say in a clip on X that the Cats have broken their membership record again this year. Does anyone know what the number is?

Sure it's 80k+
Think the app had a running tally

Pardon the intrusion Cats crew. I'm hoping I might be able to pick your collective brains.

I'm part of a phantom draft picking 1995 debut players until current. My team is nearly complete but I'm after a 2nd taller defender who plays the talls well but can also play small.

I remember Tom Lonergan as being a gun defender and someone unheralded from the outside looking in.
Would that be correct? Could he play in smalls too? (Strengths and weaknesses?)

I also have another young gun Geelong player in mind for that HBF posi too


Current team I've managed to draft so far.

If you want someone to go Franklin types then you'd probably shouldn't care if they can play small. Though Henry stood him in the first half of the 2022 grand final

Already gone unfortunately.

We're near the end of the draft now.

Lonergan definitely only a KPP
Actually started off as a FF

Anyone else have an irrational hatred of everything to do with the Richmond football club?

Holmes captain of the 22u22 team? I’d like to see that!

Fair to say Tommy is going to be available for Round 24.

No guarantees of Hawkins being available

Once Tom announced his retirement, the club would have known that round 24 was our next & final home match for the season and started making plans to celebrate Tom's career leading up to that match

I'm pretty sure we're all crossing fingers that Tom gets to run through the banner at home one last time, but if he's not right to go then he'd likely get a lap of honour before the match to say thank you to the home crowd


Regardless of his availability to play, they were always celebrating Tom in round 24

What were things like when you went to school?

What were things like when you went to school?

There was a heavy emphasis on reading, writing, spelling, and math.

I remember sitting on a mat chanting the times tables, and pages of writing practicing each cursive letter.
