Vlastuin into the middle suggestions need to stop. He is an average midfielder but an absolutely elite HB. We hadn’t seen Rioli on HB before, he wasn’t exactly impacting games when up forward either.

Who takes his role across HB as the bloke floating across in front to intercept if you move him in the middle? Obvious answer is Broad, but then who takes his spot? For mine we need to get the back line group minus Astbury & Houli back together so we can then settle in the likes of Miller and Rioli/Mansell
Yeah - I agree - last nights game said more about where the Cats are at. Last 3 weeks they've looked very old.
I hope the Tigers aren't looking at the Melbourne list and think thats where we need to be. The reason we have been so good over the past 4-5 years is that we've created our identity and playing style.
Yep that’s why I been banging on use our 4 picks <30 , nail at least 2 of em and I mean nail em and we re set to re launch
No , pivotal to our defence , nowhere near the same player in the midfield , we got levers we can pull there plus draftees
especially when they play cooked old farts like duckwood, dangerflop...
Bolton is a slippery type while Petracca has Dustyish power...
If we were making 7+ list changes , maybe , then again does he offer more than Martyn and rcd . That’s the Q with these state league players , we have reserves that have been prolific at vfl already that need senior ops
Absolutely not

Two Richmond key forwards and rucks could be poised to leave the club, upending the Tigers’ plans for rebuilding their premiership squad on the run.
Highly rated Callum Coleman-Jones will decide next week if he will accept a two-year offer to remain at Punt Road or pursue a move, with Gold Coast and North Melbourne leading the push for the out-of-contract player.

Athletic teammate Mabior Chol is sought by Essendon and North Melbourne as a versatile tall who could play in the ruck or as a key forward.
Unlike Coleman-Jones, Chol is an unrestricted free agent, so he can walk to other clubs without Richmond having the chance to match contract terms offered and force a trade. If the contract offer for Chol is sufficiently high Richmond could still receive a compensation pick in return.
Coleman-Jones was drafted at pick 20, the first pick in the second round of the 2017 national draft, having played most of his junior football as a ruckman and forward. The 200-centimetre tall has spent four years at Richmond developing primarily as a forward behind Tom Lynch and Jack Riewoldt.
The 21-year-old has played just nine games, including eight this season, with the Tigers believing more opportunities will continue to open up in the forward line with Riewoldt entering what is likely to be in his last season next year.
This time last year Coleman-Jones and teammate Sydney Stack were suspended for 10 matches and the club fined $100,000 when the pair was involved in a fight outside a kebab shop after they had been kicked out of a strip club on the Gold Coast.
That fine had to be included in the club’s soft cap on football spending.
Complicating the picture for both players when they consider opportunities ahead at the club is that Toby Nankervis and Ivan Soldo are both expected to be fit for the start of next season.
Richmond have a strong draft hand this year, holding Geelong’s first-round, St Kilda’s second-round and Gold Coast’s third-round draft picks as well as their own first, second and third-round picks.

While Coleman-Jones could theoretically walk to North Melbourne through the pre-season draft for nothing should he choose to leave Richmond and accept the Roos’ offer, he is unlikely to pursue this option and would want a trade were he to leave.
Gold Coast appear favourites to secure him if Coleman-Jones decides to leave. The Suns also have a strong hand of draft picks and could readily do a deal with Richmond.
He will meet with his manager Michael Doughty next week to decide on his future.
Tiger talls to make call on future

CJ going to North is a massive concern. I can't see them offering too much with the PSD threat.
If he's going to leave, I'd much rather he go to the Gold Coast.

Not if CCJ wants them to do a trade
Isn’t their sec pick like 30+
Yep future r2 would be about best nm offer hope it’s GC if he goes which I’m inclined to think he is
Has come into serious calculations for top 10.

Mac Andrew bid cannot be matched before pick 20. If he’s chosen before pick 20, Melbourne can’t match.
Gold Coast hold picks #19 , #24
North have pick #1 , #20
Hoping Cj stays but if he leaves it would make more sense for him to go to Gold Coast with the list they have
Chol to get offered 5 years at $1 million a year from North - He is their big FISH
North have pick #1 , #20

Best case scenario if both Chol and CCJ were to leave would clearly be Chol to North and CCJ to the Gold Coast.
Even if CCJ requested for a decent trade to be made from North, we would still not be getting anything close to what the Suns would offer.
I also feel we have a good ‘trading’ relationship with the Suns so we might be able to snag something decent there.

I am resigned to losing 1 of them, but we seriously can't afford to lose both. Jack has one year left and Lynch is approaching 30 with a bad injury history so probably won't age too well. If we lose chol and ccj, after jack and lynch we have .... who? Can't let it happen

Yeah but Trac has Bolton covered now and in the future. Trac is the prototype midfielder. Absolute beast.
That is the best case if they both decide to leave but i think we will keep 1 of them and hoping its Cj
Chol has 2-3 clubs interested in him but North makes the most sense for him and they probably would pay him the most and thats what Carr would be looking for. 3 year deal at $400k would nett us a 2nd round compo pick which would be inside #30 - BINGO
Yeah 100%. Would baffle the mind if Chol got us a compo pick anywhere near what we got for Brando though!!
