Nah, no speculation and insinuation on the club, player or management.

Was a simple thought.

The club is like any business, risk management is one of the key pillars of it's operation, especially one that is technically NFP and whose turnover is in and around $40m.


IF you don't future proof yourself from unforseen risks, it can sink any buisness/club at this level pretty quickly.

I would have thought that AFL provides insurance policies to cater for such scenarios

Still not ready? We gave Jesse Smith less time to get right iirc

JWS left the club to join St Kilda IIRC before we pulled the pin ourselves

Yes much better medical facilities at the Saints if my memory serves me correctly.

He started running again in early December off what I heard.

Match fitness and pending setbacks are the next two hurdles you'd think, as for senior footy, you would think the earliest is mid-year (VFL stints)

Bonar, Jed plus LMac and Kyron means that we have some coverage here if a call was made.

A question to those who are asking why he's not on LTI. What would be the advantage of placing him on LTI right now, other than to promote one of the rookies? If so, which rookie is ready to play from round 1 that would force us to do it?

If we are talking about midseason draft, there is still a while to go there.

Is SPP still an option?

Jacobs -> LTI, someone who has nominated previously like Tipungwuti in as a replacement?

I thought there are now no restrictions on Rookies being able to play?

Would be good to know if that's how it works. I have NFI.
Even if it's an option, we'd want Tipungwuti to show something in the VFL first. No need to rush with Jacobs.

Only if there is a list spot I thought?

they change the rules all the time, hard to keep up

If he’s placed on the LTI we can replace him in the current replacement period until the start of the season with anyone we want.

The mid season draft is obviously reverse ordered and the person we may have ear marked may get selected by someone else.

Once round 1 begins we don’t have a replacement for 3-4 months.

We would retain the rights to the player we used as an injury replacement for the entire 2020 season and get the rights to re-sign them.

But is there anyone "we would want" currently? I can't see it

Fixed.

As much as I dislike anything to do with Richmond, why is Rance being particularly disliked these days?

I suggest it's simply the availability of current Rance lampoon material. No personal dislike for him, just opportunism.

He was a great footballer, possessing a likeable personality and very good looks to boot - oh, and this is BigFooty. Do you really need to ask that question, KC?

Likeable personality lol

Praying

Did LOL.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Shame Aussies are always so contrarian when the media overhypes a player. Rance was awesome to watch at the top of his game and he was at the top for a long, long time. Don't agree that he has a likeable personality but I watch footy for footy.

He was a classic case of overstate his good characteristics and understate his negatives.

I don't believe that's the reason, this is I feel more to do with Ben and where he is at.
