    Player Watch #27 Thomson Dow - signed to 2024

    Recent evidence says he's ready to make the leap to the big time. I'm looking forward to seeing him try. I reckon his inside evasive skill means he will make it.

    Player Watch Welcome to Richmond Pick 28 - Tyler Sonsie

    Shai Bolton was drafted at 29. Looks a top 5 talent now. Recruiters make mistakes too.

    Which book is more interesting - #8 or #9’s?

    The OP pretty much sums the books up accurately. But there are some juicy bits. Cotch's book makes it clear he almost pulled the pin after 2016 and went elsewhere. And he pots Dimma (in his nice man way) for putting the skids under the team (or his own relationship with Dimma at least) by ending...

    Which player gave you the most hope, when they arrived?

    Trent Cotchin. He just oozed class and commitment. It felt like the dawn of a very dark night had broken.

    Toast Proud of our Club

    I would say it was a 'rabbit-holer' explaining why you have to be special to be able to use 'rabbit-holes'. And why skeptics are not special. Apparently.

    Player Watch #10 Maurice Rioli Jnr

    I disagree. This is a really serious debate. MJR has the grit of Aarts, the speed of Kosi Pickett (admittedly over shorter distances) and an as yet untapped skill potential rivalling his great uncle Cyril.

    Welcome Welcome to Richmond Pick 17 - Tom Brown

    You have an outstanding eye for picking talent. If it were up to me, I would have you on the club's recruiting team.

    Player Watch #5 Jack Ross

    I was wrong. I thought Jack lacked weapons. Not with that side step and pin-point passing he don't.

    Autopsy Roast & Toast v West Coast Round 8, changes for Geelong

    Did we just get played back into form? We'll find out next week I guess.

    Preview Richmond vs West Coast - 1:45pm Saturday the 6th of May @ The MCG - Desperate times call for desperate measures... or do they?

    Because they believe. We don't. Haven't since 2020. The answer is blowing in the wind.

    Are we really that bad?

    Unlike some others, I was mightily impressed by Ivan's return game against Witts and the Nuns. The continuing absence of Nank should give us the chance to see Soldo in the #1 ruck position for at least a couple more games. I'm betting they will both play when Nank returns.

    Are we really that bad?

    Some good suggestions there. Contrary to what some think, I rate MRJ as a forward pocket with huge potential. If you add Pickett at HF as well, that's a whole lot of fear/hurt factor going on.

    Strategy Tasmanian team tipped to enter in 2027 and how that effects Punt Rd.

    For those who think Tassie is a financial basket case... https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04-30/tas-regains-top-spot-as-best-performing-economy-commsec-report-/102279292

    Preview Round 7 v Gold Coast Suns Marvel Stadium Sunday 30th April 3.20pm

    Some good suggestions being bandied about. I don't think Soldo will be ready for the seniors just yet though. Ross and Broad in for Hugo and MRJ makes sense. And I'd swap Baker and Mansell around to see whether that gives us better small forward teeth.
