    Analysis The Rebuilds of West Coast and Richmond and their Future Prospects

    You can't tell, look at Hawthorn, better luck with injury and they are pushing hard with almost no top 10 selections and grandpa Gunston up forward.

    Analysis The Rebuilds of West Coast and Richmond and their Future Prospects

    We'll call it a draw, (although I think your are The Black Knight and I Arthur).

    Analysis The Rebuilds of West Coast and Richmond and their Future Prospects

    Well considering Hotton, Lalor, Smillie, McAuliffe, Gibcus, Ralphsmith, Clarke and Gray missed large chunks of the season, and most would have been playing or at least getting some games, then 5th lowest is still low. We won 5 games because we did not bottom out ala Hawthorn or your good...

    Analysis The Rebuilds of West Coast and Richmond and their Future Prospects

    Yes and no. You make it out like our veterans carried the team. We had 6 players 30 and over, Lynch and Prestia the oldest at 32. That is below most teams. Other senior players carried their fair share but there is only a few of them, again below average. 2nd youngest list behind Freo last year...

    Analysis The Rebuilds of West Coast and Richmond and their Future Prospects

    You need to get over this b&f as a measuring stick. It's an award won by often very good players who play forward or back, or otherwise it's pretty much a midfielder's award. Taranto beat Vlastuin which is ridiculous. MacIntosh came 11th and he was pretty awful, but he did play midfield. Prestia...

    SSP Final rookie spot for the 2026 season

    Well he played only the Coates league this year but Rookie me or one of them stated he was a wing as a junior, hence his skills look like someone who has played as a junior. Only took it up this year though seriously. Evidently quite aggressive and competitive, so that as a ruckman is about as...

    nearly made it out before the camp leopard took him down... (from distant memory, don't quote me).

    SSP Final rookie spot for the 2026 season

    I understand your point of view, but he is not really in the Sampson / OHB category. OHB had played very little football you could see that from day one, especially his kicking action. Ryan has the skill set but not the body to make it, no core strength at all. Kras is an athlete with a good...

    SSP Final rookie spot for the 2026 season

    Is Kras really a developing player. Sure he was a basketballer, but so were lot of footballers, should count as a positive not a negative. Asa junior he was a winger before growing, so not new to the game. Twoomey had him top 30 roughie. Zero Hanger had him as 2nd in their top 5 rucks. All...

    Opinion Early Developers

    Coughlan was done with injury. ACL's (2), OP, hamstrings and calves. B&F at 21, retired 25.

    Player Watch #5 Jack Ross

    Fair summary, the only caveat I would add is that although he is 25, and most players are about their peak level at that stage of their careers, he has never really been settled for an entire season playing as a midfielder. His improvement of late has come with his return primarily as a...

    Player Watch #5 Jack Ross

    I disagree with the suggestion that Ross has no attributes that stand out. To me he is measured against Hopper and Taranto in that he is not overly quick and is about their size. But that is where the comparisons end in my opinion. For one he has a good turning circle, so he is quite nimble...

    And those options are, because if we go with what we had last year, then we will not go forward. The kids will add spice, but not building a midfield on them just yet.

    Player Watch #5 Jack Ross

    I think there is plenty of room to experiment on the wings because although Hugo might deserve first dibs if his form is good, why not Algar. Mansell, Retschko, Gray, Smith, even Broad and Short with out backline starting to fill up, all worth a look.

    Have Richmond passed North and west coast

    For Richmond however on the limited exposed from what we saw from those who debuted last season, Lalor looks a gun. Hotton very impressive, Smillie we will see this year, Faull was really impressive even more so coming off a very limited preseason, Trainor very good , Armstrong a bit early but...
