List Mgmt. End of Year List Changes

[THE THIN MAN]

Geelong winning an AFL award is no recommendation after all who won the All Australian best new talent?

It would be a lot easier to make a call on Sonsie if the coaching staff had listened to me and given him a few games in the only position he can play and told him to address his weaknesses (attack on the ball, tackling).

We make list management hard, and we end up with list-cloggers, because none of our decisions during the year take into account list development.

You know the lotto numbers this week?

Three Tigers commit

Richmond has announced new contracts for three players.

www.richmondfc.com.au

Gray, Smith and OHB has all re-signed.

Pretty sure that only leaves Sonsie and Dow un-contracted at this point....

 

[Ctl]

is OHB still a cat B?

I'm OK with it, purely because we're very short on small defenders. Has to be Smith's last chance though.

 

[Danog]

Yes

 

[Wavvey]

I’ll defend Dow til the cows come home, but it really seems like we have a clear plan to get rid of the plodders. We want to run, and we want to go fast. Very stiff but I see the vision.

 

[Coach_Required]

So that just leaves Dow & Sonsie

At least there's a vision, don't mind getting surprised.

Surprised to see Smith get another contract, hopefully a big 2026 for him!

 

[smurfin]

A year ago watching Kaleb Smith play VFL I thought he was our most likely D Rioli replacement.
But I've gone cold on him this season. Hope we see some real run and carry from him in 2026.

 

[TheDyerLegacy]

Clearly keeping smith around for his barista skills.

What’s the lowest wage an afl player can get? I’m sure it’s around the price of a barista from Fitzroy.

So what would we be waiting for with Sonsie and Dow?
Are their contracts pending on whether we pick anyone up in trade and free agency?

Probably what we get for young and if we split or not

Probably waiting to see how many picks we're going to have in the draft.

I don't mind him, his last month in the VFL was actually pretty good. Just needs to bring that into the senior's team when given the chance. Glad he was given another year.

The 12-month contract extension speaks volumes, showing that Richmond isn't tied to an underperforming player (Deliliah says hi).

 

[THE THIN MAN]

Emerging Richmond tall Samson Ryan will remain at Richmond for another three years, with the 206cm forward/ruck putting pen to paper on a new contract with the Club.

The extension will see Ryan tied to Richmond until at least the end of 2027.

Samson Ryan signs on

Samson Ryan will remain in yellow and black for a further three years.

12 month is fair. It gives Smith a chance to develop further and prove himself

For a month I thought we gave him another contract extension lol

Not even North Melbourne would be that stupid.

So how many spots do we have left?

 

[RockJobster0312]

So how many spots do we have left?

Assuming Retchko and Campbell go on the Prinary List, by my count we have:

33 Primary List spots filled
3 rookie list spots filled
1 Category B spots filled.

Dow and Sonsie are both uncontracted but may still get a contract, but I’ve not included them in the 33.

As the Primary List and Rookie List work together, we have:

- Minimum 1, maximum 3 rookie list spots available.

- 1 Category B spot available

- Depending on the Rookie list; we have either five primary list spots available (if we have the minimum rookie list filled) or three if the rookie list is filled to maximum. Again, Sonsie nor Dow are not included in that.

Happy to be proved wrong on the above.

My bet is that we’ll take four draft picks (3,4, 38 and Kellaway) re-sign Sonsie to a one year contract extension, and either rookie Dow or delist him, with an SSP sign on (Harry Scott would be my hope).
