Thanks eastlavy .eastlavy said:
I’d imagine if the injury gods are kind to us, that our talented young list with the combination of very good VFL players and the best coach/developer in the game I’d like to think will be right up there again.

I reckon so
On a different note, here's the winning % of our 5 completed seasons as stand alone (inc finals games played) & ladder position @ end of H&A
2014 Tim Clarke 33% 12th
2015 Tim Clarke 28% 13th
2016 Craig McRae 50% 9th
2017 Craig McRae 67% 2nd
2018 Craig McRae 70% 1st
Im such a massive fan of Craig McRae, He really is a great man to have at the club and every body who talks about Richmonds development just cant speak highly enough of this man.
He not only trains and coaches the young men but is a great mentor and father/brother like influence on these young men, Just watching the interview of marsh once again reinforces the amount of respect they have for him. Hope he becomes a richmond man for a long long time

Evidently a kid by the name of Angus Hicks playing for the vfl team had a badly broken leg today in a win against Essendon vfl. Luke Nelson kicked 4. Anyone know of him?

EFL 2018: Noble Park midfielder Luke Nelson fields VFL interest
Paul Amy, Greater Dandenong Leader
Noble Park dasher Luke Nelson will play in the VFL next year — and he has a handful of clubs putting out the welcome mat.
The speedy 21-year-old has met five clubs and will make a decision in the next week or so on his 2019 footballing home.
Nelson’s performance in the final round against Balwyn was another advertisement of his ability.
The right-footer had 35 possessions and kicked three goals, a best-afield effort that helped him finish equal-second in the club best and fairest.
Luke Nelson on his way to a best-afield performance against Balwyn this year.
Nelson joined the Bulls in 2017 from Berwick, where he played in the 2015 senior premiership as an Under 18 player.
Quick and elusive, he started out at Noble as a small forward. But he progressed into the midfield this year, with eye-catching results.
Nelson, who is studying teaching at Deakin University, said he appreciated the interest from VFL clubs.
“It’s nice to be asked,’’ he said. “I’m definitely going to have a go at it. I feel like I’m ready. I think I developed a bit this year by having a run in the middle.’’
Bulls coach Mick Fogarty said he was pleased Nelson — an Eastern league Young Gun nomination this year — was committed to playing at a higher level.
“I think he’s ready to step up. He’s had a couple of strong years for us,’’ he said.
Fogarty said Nelson had developed from a pressure-bearing “high half forward’’ with speed and “footy smarts’’ into an onballer.
“What he had to do was — and this sounds funny because he does it so well in forward 50 — around the stoppage, he had to learn how to position his body and defend a bit better.
“He really started to do that towards the end of the season. Offensively out of stoppage he got on the end of some good ball and, like ‘Sketch’ (Jackson Sketcher), he has that breakaway speed.
“That was the next challenge for him, to go into the midfield and learn his craft there. He’s added that to his bow. He’s also very strong overhead for a smaller player.’’
Marsh is a Saint. Major bummer cause he can really play. Won't make life easy for forwards in 2019.
Yeah disappointed, this wouldve been a great steal by us.
Now we need to do the same thing - recruit the best non-afl player with speed. Get him onto our vfl program, learn under Fly. And give him 12mths test with the prospect of being picked up for next season or mid season.
Im thinking Jye Bolton
