Which Cub will rise?

[beema limapep]

Dow could wow, Ross could boss, but with RCD it could be a Really Deep Club.

RCD has Bont-like potential upside but might take a little longer than it takes Dow, and Ross the Boss who is ready to ****ing go!

Hugo could also be in the mix.

 

[sante]

Word is that Dow is coming on in leaps and bounds. Could be ahead of RCD for a debut by the time the season starts.

Having said that, Ross will have a breakout year and i think it will be a head turner from across the comp. No doubt.

Dow did debut

 

[box070]

It’s time to start transitioning in the midfield. Get games into Dow RCD Ross and do it whilst Cotch Dusty shedda and co are still performing at a level that can help guide and pull them out of the shit when needed. We did it well this year with Shai.
you don’t want them to to drown because we held out too long. Get them time and experience with the old heads so when the retirements come they’re already in the groove

 

[tony__montana]

Hugo could also be in the mix.

yep forgot about him, have only heard glowing and positive feedback regarding him last season

How many times do we play crows & Norf?

 

[captain cotch 9]

Will Martyn & Hugo seem to get good raps from the coaches.
I think both will debut this year
Ross should be looking to cement a spot this year or he may look for other opportunities.
RCD is the one that could burst onto the scene though

 

[box070]

How many times do we play crows & Norf?

we’ve shown we’re not scared to throw them in against the better sides

 

[Soberian Tiger]

Should play the youth against the old slow sides..

So that's St Kilda, Geelong and West Coast.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

we’ve shown we’re not scared to throw them in against the better sides

I'm thinking of the entire vfl side.

 

[Wrenny]

For those 'fans' that keep saying Dow will debut in 2021.

Impressive Dow debut

Thomson Dow definitely did not look out of place in his AFL debut against West Coast at Metricon Stadium last Thursday night.

[The Mighty]

Excited to see how Martyn goes.

I tipped Martyn he went well and impressed last season.

Ross has already played a fair few games so I dont count him so much as a smokie same for Stackman.

Yeah come on a bit last year after few injuries club rates him.

, Balta is a very reliable defender who has slotted into Richmond’s backline nicely. Something that was highlighted in his debut season in 2019 was his versatility, being able to play in the ruck, back and even up forward.

Riley Collier-Dawkins

Although he hasn’t made his AFL debut yet, Collier-Dawkins looks like a great prospect for the Tigers, and has got the ability to remain calm under pressure and apply pressure in the attacking half of the ground. He was a standout in Richmond’s VFL premiership win in 2019, and will be battling to get into the Tigers’ AFL side.

, was one two debutants for the Tigers in 2020. Dow is a very good player around stoppages and shown his potential in bursting away from packs, which suits the Tigers’ aggressive and successful game style.

Sydney Stack

Although has had some off-field issues, Stack is still a promising young talent, who has featured in 26 games for the Tigers. He’s not afraid to put his body on the line to win the footy, and is great across half back. He can easily grab it and go and deliver the ball to one of his team mates up forward and isn’t afraid to push up when necessary.

Maurice Rioli Jr

Drafted at Pick 51, Rioli looks like a promising recruit, after being recruited from St Mary’s Football club in the Northern Territory, The best part of his game is his forward pressure and the Rioli name is one that will as per usual, have Tigers’ fans salivating.

 

[Infamy]

I think Ross is the most likely candidate, he has some runs on the board already and is clearly putting in the work this offseason
I voted for Miller though, I really hope he clicks this year as it will mean our key defenders are locked in for the next 8-10 years

If RCD breaks out then lock us in for a 5 peat

I have a feeling Miller may have been training as KPF. And I hope the selectors go for him over Chol for the 3rd tall forward until CJ is available.

 

[Grrr]

I hope so, looks a natural forward.
Reckon RCD is ready, Ross has been ready since before his debut. CCJ is ready also.
Good to see how Dow, Martyn, Hugo go against strong mids in the VFL before they get thrown into the middle at AFL.

Be great to see VFL level football again. 2020 was a development wrecker. Especially for RCD who was on the cusp of AFL selection.

We already know what we get from Chol(Not much).Nothing to lose really by giving Miller a go instead.

Be great to see the kids in action.

He was very strong as an underdeveloped 18 year old in the VFL, another 2 pre-seasons he should be a monster inside mid. He actually likes the physical stuff, and that is pretty rare coming out of the 18 into the VFL.

Have my doubts about him.Hope i'm wrong but he just looks like a vanilla mid too me.
