Three of Richmond’s most talented young players have re-signed with the Club . . .

Second-year player, Dylan Grimes, along with first-year pair Reece Conca and Brad Helbig, have agreed to terms for contract extensions at Tigerland.

Very good news, there is a bright future for these 3 young kids.

Hopefully Dylan gets bsck for the last couple games of the year. We must pump as many games into him as we can. Needs to aim to put on another 5kgs in the preseason too.

Conca and Helbig should be given more time in the guts now the season is shot. Put a few of our sore players like Jackson, Riewoldt and Foley in cotton wool for the year

Agreed.....

Great to hear some good news. Reckon Hardwick really rates Helbig, got that shit about him that Harwick had, just a tough footballer.

Happy for all the lads and agree with posts above. Time to give these kids a bit more of a run in the guts.

2 first round compo picks isn't near enough.


Just contemplating the scenario a bit more, personally, if Lids was happy to go , and that is a big if because he is a wanted player at Tigerland and it is only the situation which makes sense for him possibly to go to GWS, I would only accept first 17 year old mini draft pick plus GWS pick 5 in the draft as a minimum (given the value Lids would be in the Sydney market for GWS in terms of crowd pulling and marketing as well as attracting other players later for them on top of the on-field and long term value)

Like Adelaide have said, it appears GWS want other clubs to bring the lube so Lids could be safe in Tigerland it would appear and GWS might not have much at all!!!

Why would there be any news? He's already contracted for next year

probably alot cheaper signing players when we are going crap!!! maybe thats the plan?? play shit and convince the players they are lucky to keep their spots an sign them up for peanuts... leaving plenty in the cap for off season trades??

I've searched high and low and found a positive...
