List Mgmt. 2026 Trade/Free Agency Discussion Pt 1

[Meteoric Rise]

Are you advocating that Richmond should extend Rioli an Sonsie? I hope you’re joking.

I hope he is joking as well. It should be Rioli and Ralphsmith being extended.

 

[PeteTiger69minus4]

Nank will be 33 before Tassie enters the comp, not sure he'd be much value by then given the battering his body has taken in his career.

yeah because triple premiership rucks who have captained young kids grow on trees

 

[PeteTiger69minus4]

Nank has been a loyal servant to the club, but his best days are behind him.

sadly that applies to nearly everyone i know and most of the RFC

 

[Capitano_Cotch]

Why a priority? We have holes everywhere that need filling. There are plenty of footballers available that would improve our side and I do not see any one player being enough.

Agree with that but let's be real, we aren't bringing in 3-4 decent players during trade and free agency.
He should be a priority for the following reasons:

1. Is a free agent
2. Severe lack of experienced KPF on our list in this age bracket
3. If Lynch retires and we are relying on Faull, Armstrong and Lefau we are seriously cooked and the kids confidence will be destroyed

In my opinion, he would be the one I would chase over and above anyone else this off-season

He's body needs to be capable of playing and flying every other week for it to be worth it IMO

Gale would know where he does his best work

It's a short flight from Tas to Melbourne

 

[cheo]

Maybe they are thinking to try Tom Sims in the ruck (199cm) before spending first pick in ruck.

Don't want all of our eggs in the Sims basket.

Might be a short flight from Hobart to Melbourne, but when you're doing it every other week, then the weeks where they fly to WA SA NSW & QLD will add up. I mean if they want to get him in and throw us a pick to do so then go right ahead, but I'm not so sure Nankervis goes on after his contract with us ends next year.

 

[sante]

Not a superstar but Freo's forward line works so much better when he's in it. Could certainly do worse

No way. Better off playing Alger, Peucker etc

 

[tunksy]

If he just plays home games and helps develop the kids for a year before moving into coaching it'd be worth it. If they follow the gws path (which worked much better than the gold coast path to build the initial list).

 

[Baltastan]

Wasn't advocating that we should get him, just like him as a player.

 

[Delediodelight]

Looking at the above team, I would make a few changes/additions:

• Hotton to HFF
• Banks to wing/HBF
• Sims add to bench

I think one of Mansell/Algar/Peucker will make it in the FP but I’m not 100% and think this could be a position for upgrade.

With the above it effectively leaves 1 wing, 1 FP and 4 bench spots available.

2026 draft - pick range are estimated and I know some players might be wishful thinking being available but they’re the type I’d like at those picks.

Pick 1 - Harry Van Hattum
Pick 17 (compensation pick) - Marlon Neocleous (I can see him sliding due to height and not being super fast - I see him more Dovaston then Watson) or Koby LeCras as a winger or high HFF link player
Pick 20 - Ethan Drever or Gus Teixeira
Pick 30 Tanner Armstrong

I would also be using this year as an important time to get into the ears of potential Tassie pre list players and say we would love you at the Tigers

2027
Pick 2 dream result - Baxter Sruk

Only way I see this happening is if he doesn’t nominate to pre list and Jake Miller or Axel Walsh absolutely dominate over the next 18 months.

Free agent I would be targeting in 2027 is Lachie Ash.

 

[tiger_tough]

Sign Hugo for 1. AFL owe us a bullshit band 1 compo for players that one day played a half decent game in their local under 12's

Still wouldn't be worth it.

 

[wegetpumped]

Oh, the old Nank, who would be a second midfielder and going forward, kicking 2 or 3 goals—what a player! But like anything, he's getting injuries and is older, so I wouldn't be surprised if, from what I heard, he's calling it quits at the end of the season. If we can get 2 or 3 players like him, we just might start improving. On your post, no body can't handle it anymore.

 

[prodigy]

We need a player like Ryan Angwin. For me he would be perfect for us. Silky left footer, high work rate and touch of class. Vic boy, target him.

I've really enjoyed seeing his development recently. I don't know what it is with him but I rarely see him lose a 50/50 ball. He also gets to so many contests.
I'm with you on this one TB.

I never checked his contract status as I assumed GWS wouldn't want to get rid of him. Locked away until the end of 2028

presumably he won't go to WA or Qld.

or he will because he will want to show how proud the Vandemonian fire burns. It can co-exist with other fires. But it's always there.

Ash is like Whitfield, they look world beaters when on top but have crap disposal under pressure. He was a big part of GWS' loss to the Hawks in the Ef,. Had Hogan and Stringer and Cadman and kicked it to Hawks again and again.

yes, the Brogan option.

Miller is an absolute plodder. We desperately need to find a quality tall defender.
