Oscar has had a good season. Getting beat by Gawn is not a reason for us to look for a replacement when it’s unlikely to be a significant upgrade and and we have limited salary cap and draft pick currency.
+ Max Gawn is one of the best rucks this century... unfortunately for us they omitted Grundy 1 game too soon.

Would they be that silly ?

I think Witts is probably on a lot of money after his last extension and there's no way we could fit him in.

On a side issue, I've been meaning to post about why we shouldn't be interested in Silvagni but glad I haven't after how he's started.
 
In addition to Oscar, I’d be looking at moving on Berry and Rayner.

As many in the media have said all year, Rayner is an almost player that unlikely takes the next step. Maybe he does with a new voice and new coaches but given the club’s loyalty to Fagan it won’t be at the Lions.

Surely Zorko Rich retire sadly with Adams and hopefully there’s a way to move on Gunston another of Fagan’s failed pet recruita

Berry absolutely. Zorko Rich Gunston Adams all retire.

This Rayner talk is ridiculous. He seems to be improving every year - Yeah he’s had a few stinkers this year but who in our team hasn’t outside of like Dunkley and that’s about it.

Given this is who he’s most often compared to in terms of archetypes, a lot of people don’t remember that Dusty wasn’t Dusty until 2017, ie his 8th year of playing. Rayner is in his 5th year essentially.

Cam is probably not going to reach the heights Martin did, but he’s absolutely the type of player that can break a game open, and has already done that a few times for us (ie vs Collingwood this year). A player like that is worth their weight in absolute gold in finals. I also think he’s been stymied a bit by the 3 talls in the forward line, he looked much more involved in games when we were only playing 2. Something to think about.

Dusty’s second season was way ahead of any season Rayner has had
 
Dusty’s second season was way ahead of any season Rayner has had
Dusty was always an A Grader and Richmond knew it.

Which is why they pulled out all stops to hang on to him before their golden run when other clubs were after him. The only knock on him was...well he was a young man with issues.

To compare Cam with Dusty is frankly ridiculous and the sooner people stop thinking that and just get him playing consistent footy in a role he can well cope with the better off he'll be.

Reading between the lines it sounds like there might be a bit of turnover with the list at the end of the year.

It's a good sign that the club is confident on holding Kai, and that they may try and fix the key forward problem.

Could also be a front though. My auntie's, uncle's, engineering friend's sibling's third cousin, named Steve, reckons Kai's Dad told him he's gone.

Just had a listen to that chat, and agree with you, it sounds like we will be taking "a few selections" "be pretty active" at the draft this year.

Briz will be happy.
