PUNT ROAD END | Richmond Tigers Forum

Some forward projections for the team. Lets look at likely delisting / retirements up to season 2009 – a year popular with pundits on PRE as to the likely date we will be serious finals contenders. What could our team look like?

Here’s my guess. Assumptions for this exercise are:
- that we will not trade but use all available positions to pick up draftees or rookies
- that we delist / retire an average of 5 players each year

* are new players.
