    Marty Hore's body is simply not made for AFL. I reckon he retires at years end.

    There will be quite a few moved on at seasons end I think, will be the biggest list re-set we've had in a while.

    Hore, Melksham, McDonald, Billings, Verrall, Woewodin & Fullarton I think should all be either retired/delisted at a minimum.

    We then need to be ultra aggressive on the trade/free agency table to replenish our list. 

    Have heard us linked to Oscar Allen and Kane Farrell, that would be a great start but we are going to need a lot more!

    I hope so. 

    You can probably add Laurie to that list of delisted/trade. Do the club give Campbell another year or does he retire?

    There is also question marks on McAdam as well and then the obvious one is Kozzie Pickett..

    Will Howes be given a deal ? OOC

    I think Laurie is contracted for another season, so I'm guessing he will be gone end of 2026 if we don't see big improvements.

    McAdam also has another year so I guess we will see how that plays out.

    The club will be desperate for Kozzy to stay, so I guess we will see.

    Campbell you could probably give another 1 year, basement bargain contract to as depth but we need to start scouring for longer term ruck options.

    Is Marty Hore made of paper? What a total waste of a list spot.

    Why do you even bother supporting this club? Everything is a disaster to you. 

    He fractured his hand (freak/acute incident) then has a calf strain without (AFAIK) a history of calf issues. It’s disappointing but not really that big of an issue.

    Yeah, but he (Poita) is right though. He had been delisted, then relisted. Why? If it is just for depth, give the spot to a young bloke

    He had been one of the best players in the VFL two years in a row, so deserved another crack. Unfortunately his body just keeps breaking down while on our list.

    I believe we have 19 players OOC, (18 if May has been extended). Quite a few of those are fringe players who we've been persisting with, so you'd imagine there'll be a few on the way out. 

    Equally, you have to bring other players in to replace them and we only have 3 draft picks, with 2 of those being in the 50's, so some work to be done.

    That's very good. Based on this we'd have all but three players available for Richmond on ANZAC Eve.

  • Quote

    The good news is that we get two of our quickest players back - Kozzie (served suspension) and the Duke (available) plus a number of others if they pass fitness tests before Friday.

    Injury List: Round 4

    Caleb Windsor — foot / available

    Jai Culley — foot / available

    Jake Lever — ankle / test

    Charlie Spargo — concussion / test

    Matt Jefferson — hand / test

    Luker Kentfield — illness / 1 week

    Koltyn Tholstrup  —  back / 1 week

    Xavier Lindsay — knee / 1 - 2 weeks

    Judd McVee — hamstring / 2 weeks

    Marty Hore — calf / 5 - 7 weeks

    Shane McAdam — Achilles / next season

    Andy Moniz-Wakefield — knee / next season

    Gee Culley’s come from the clouds. In the video Selwyn says he’ll play modified minutes in the VFL this week. The way our midfield’s going, we may want to call on him sooner rather than later…

    Kentfield and Tholstrup on the brink of doing the same next week.

    I'm really excited to see Tholstrup playing footy again, even if it takes a few weeks of VFL to blow out the cobwebs.

    So he has gone from "maybe he'll play, we'll see if we can manage it" to "maybe we should seek the opinion of an expert".

    The expert says he needs surgery, so he'll be out for 8 weeks.

    What in the actual F is our 'medical' team doing?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
