Discussion 2025 Pre-Season Planning Discussion

[South of the Yarra]

Ok I am back after a self-imposed hiatus and refreshed and ready to finish somewhere in the top 130,000

Think Ryan has averaged 95 in my team since I got him this year after averaging about 130 before

Absolute campaigner!

I was more so thinking he might get more handball receives as Rioli had more than him this year. Though Short's numbers also weren't really down in that area compared to previous years tbf.

We've just drafted half a dozen KPFs so Shorty might have someone to kick the ball long down the line to next year, can't be any worse than Kozi.

Short is priced at 80 and should get most of the kickins and the ball should be going through him now of the backline so surely he gets his average around 100

I struggle to see any Richmond players besides rookies who would be worth picking. They’re gonna be all time bad next year.

Taranto is the only one who even slightly interests me. No one will tag Richmond and someone’s gotta win the footy for them.

I'm interested to see who gets Rioli's role

We got like 7 102kers in the rookie draft, what a rort. Needs to be revamped or scrapped.

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

DEF: Sheezel, Wanganeen-Milera, Short, Coleman, Schoenmaker, Rookie (Rookie, Rookie)
MID: Bontempelli, Serong, Young, Richards, Petracca, Rookie, Rookie, Rookie (Rookie, Rookie)
RUCK: Xerri, TDK (Rookie)
FWD: Horne-Francis, Macrae, Phillipou, Smith, Daniel, Lynch (Rookie, Rookie)

I quite like this as a starting point. I want Mills and Ashcroft but I'll wait for their byes and ideally get that done via a struggling premo + rookie if they look good (cash permitting) - think Ashcroft will be a non-negoitable. Rankine is the other I would really like to start with, but hard to see where he fits in that forward line. Main thing I don't like is 2x premimum mids from 2 separate teams, but it's hard to avoid with opening round.

Seems reasonably safe outside of Coleman and TDK though and we can't be having that, so I'll need to tear it all down and start again.

Like Richards. Scored very well once he went into the mids and had two injury effected games which drag his score down.

is on my shortlist.

Will he be mid only, is the question?

Edit: I think he will be. Shite.

Yeah I think he's a safe bet to make money even if he isn't a keeper. Capable of a big score too.

I'm happy to take a couple of midfielders like that next year because so many of the midfielders I'd ideally like in my team by the end of the year are playing in Opening Round.

I think one of my starting midfielders inevitably gets downgraded to Ashcroft after his bye anyway.

Hey guys found a site where you can build your own team but from the one club. It does have all the new drafted players so just good to play around with.
