So an extra rookie but no increase in total.
Yeah, sorta makes sense.
Well by start of the year it had to be back to normal.
Before Grigg retired we were 38 + 6
Not counting Eggs (cat B)
Grigg retired and we draft Pickett 37 + 7
but by the time we finalise our list
We’ll be 38 + 6 again
(Or 39 + 5)
(Or 40 + 4)

is it that the mid season rookie was effectively an injury replacement?
It was an extra to the list, but someone needed to be on the long term injury list.
Remember there was talk it could be,/would be Rance.
We used Grigg who retired but couldve gone onto the LTIL and then retired at the end.
Geelong didnt get a pick, so it wasn't simply an extra pick.

The rookie pay was outside the salary cap.

Im not sure if the mid-season rookie could replace a LTIL or if they had to replace a guy who retired.

So 4 players gone, 6 still uncontracted. What is the minimum turnover requirement?




Edit: I believe we must use 3 draft picks each year, which I believe includes upgrading rookies with your junk picks.

Playing list can be either:

38 primary. 6 cat A rookies, 3 cat B rookies
39 primary. 5 cat A rookies, 3 cat B rookies
40 primary. 4 cat A rookies, 3 cat B rookies

I would assume that we will have to upgrade Stack, Baker and Pickett to the primary playing list. Back to 38 players. Leaving us only 2 picks available for the National draft, to hit the maximum of 40 primary list players, unless Miller, Moore or Menadue are delisted and re-drafted as rookies?
I would delist: Moore, Aarts, and Towner
Contract: Menadue, Egg
Rookie: Miller

I would delist: Moore, Aarts, and Towner
Contract: Menadue, Egg
Rookie: Miller
Delist Towner and made him captain of the VFL.

Keep the others for another year, either on the main list or as rookies. From memory we've lost 4 already. Just go into the draft(s) and get more diamonds.

I think from here we should
Re-contract Towner
Trade 41, 56, 75 for a pick in the 30s next year.

Draft with 19, 38, 39

Rookie 4 players including miller.

Its really hard to work out the figures because whoever is responsible for the club list is hopeless.

They still have Grigg listed among 38 seniors and we know (or rather were told in the press) that he resigned to allow Pickett on the list.
Just read the rules on category B rookies and Smith is our only one. Note that as I read the rules, a cat B rookie can stay on the list for up to 3 years.
Thus we had - pre Pickett - 38, 6 cat A, and 1 cat B (Smith).

So if we presume that we were at capacity with Grigg then the only way it makes sense is that we upgraded a player to allow room in the rookie.
If that's true then Stack, Baker or Chol may have been upgraded before they signed new contracts in August to take Grigg's spot and allow Pickett in the rookie.

As said, it would help a bloody lot if the club informed the members who was actually playing for Richmond and under what conditions.

The entire club is still drunk and fair enough

Nope.
Website, particularly player list is ALWAYS out of date going back at 10 years I can remember.
Plenty of interviews and articles about players but all that posting is one way communication.

and yes I just did the member survey which judging on past actions only serves to reinforce the existing ideas they have.

Big slice out of the list in a double flag year. Seven out is a fair bit of turnover. Guess we'll be upgrading a rookie or three with some really late picks n grabbing four newbies with our earlier picks.
No idea on contract values, but I'm guesstimating there's around a mill of cap space between the seven off, Grigga n Bobble would have had a fair slice of that amount.

Towner did his job thankyou very much move on.Moore we got guys ahead of him and hasn't stepped up.Menadue time for a change has talent ,but lacks believe when goes up into the afl.No point keeping them on the list rather fresh young blood we seen the impact that has made to us over years from even first year under 18 kids and state league recruits these guys weren't going to play rather fresh faces.Grigg and Butler had no impact on this season so no lost there only real one is Ellis in reality and gun to come back Rance.

As for Miller second year project KP player and had those injuries or illness this year.Silly to delist him now needs time.
