They sure have. He won't disapoint them. Not only a really hard worker, but a cracking bloke. Have known him since we were kids.
Think I would have died with excitment if we had of picked him.

Anyone else happy with richmond's off season? Adding three more twos players in Stephenson, ricky petterd and sam lonergan…
Include that with chaplin, knights and aaron Edwards….tigers have effectively cancelled out a chance to add a bit more youth to their promising list all in the hope of finishing 8th. Terrible list management…makes me smile.
Enjoyed looking on their board to read them call petterd and lonergan great players as well.

Don't rate Dimmer Hardwick's coaching and recruiting obsession with re-treads. Just another Crazy Vossy who had Brisbane in the finals a few years back due to the talent at his disposal. Make or break year if he can't get that side into the finals.
Lets just hope Lonegan lines up in the centre square in rd 1, Mr Bell may have a nice little surprise for him
Yep. Gotta love the Tiges, they just love loading up on junk.
Times like this you'd kill for Parrots input.

Reckon you've nailed it there. Gone for a heap of mature players because he's been there a while now. Fail to make the finals this year and the pressure will be on.

Tiges have gone for a mix of Crazy Vossy and us after Black Friday

That's pretty much what the rookie list is for in this day and age. You'll note we went all youth in the main draft, and traded out a total of 1 5th round draft pick for all of the mature age players we brought in. So hardly at the expense of bringing in youth. With the sub rule affecting fitness and with the ability to rookie as many mature ages as you please, the rookie list will be used this way more and more in future. We were just right on top of it this year. Our RL now consists of 4 kids (international small forward, one KPD, one winger and one forward/utility) and 3 mature agers, two of which have shown they're capable at the highest level, the other is a back up ruck who will only play if Ivan dies. Beautiful list management.

Cachia has improved out of sight

Crikey, Cachia looks bigger than I remember (I suppose this is natural though).
Only a highlights vid obviously, but his kicking looked spot on and had a bit of composure, especially for someone who runs and tackles like a man possessed.
Bell is gonna have some competition it seems, all going well.

I'm just disappointed they didn't round it off beautifully by bringing back Tom Hislop.

From memory he's a tad slow off the mark but winds up okay once moving. That's also what I got from that vid, but it's hard to tell.His disposal does look better and he is hard at the ball.
But he does look a bit heavy and a tad slow.
Good luck to him.

He has improved in lots of areas but still looks a tad slow for AFL level. Good back-up for inside mid nonetheless
His kicking technique has definitely improved, based on that highlights package. It is a lot more fluent than it was when he was previously on our rookie list. He also seems to have built quite a bit of upper body strength.

I know what you mean and credit to you for a constructive post but I disagree.
Filling up large parts of your list with recycled players (or mature aged depth if you'd prefer) is more for a top four team to do, Richmond should be more focussed on finding players talented enough to help the team into finals at this stage.
Lonergan and Chaplin are the only mature aged additions for Richmond that I like this off-season. Thought you guys drafted really well in 2011.
