my worry is he is short and looks like his best form was last year when that highlights were filmed
still one of the best players in the VFL

Iam not saying he isnāt Iam just saying he was in better form last year and wasnāt taken and I think he is too small for the afl.
Ollie Griffen then his mate Arki Butler in the National Draft

Tigers are playing Sam Cumming 3 more weeks, then putting him in for shoulder surgery to get another pick in the mid season draft.

Another taller option over Voss for a rebounding defender is Hugo Hall-Kahan. 188cm who was originally drafted by Sydney as a forward now plays as a defender. He shows decent running and pace. I havenāt seen him play but he is apparently rated in this mid-season crop.
Louie Montgomery another 184cm rebounding defender as well.
both are responders, distributors. I think we have this covered in Farrow, Johnson, Redman.
Interesting to note that Nick Staropoli is playing in our VFL side tomorrow. Good to see him up close

Whoever we get, we need legspeed. The team is desperately slow. Given where we at, Im not too bothered if they are an inside mid, outside mid, back or forward, just make sure they have some serious wheels.

Yeah I wasnāt sure about Hall-Kahan, but from what Iāve seen in Montgomery was more sort of run and carry in his last few outings.
I saw that Calder had posted about Strapoli last night. Good to see him up.
I would hope that we look at best available talent in the MSD. Ideally would be Ollie Griffin, maybe even Sam Toner or Oscar Cail.
Really? They would already have a heap of picks, is there a source on this?
Looking at the AFL injury list, Gibcus is the only richmond player listed as out for the season. Mansellās foot could go that way too, I guess, but the rest of them you probably wouldnāt put on the inactive list.
Plenty of sources.
They could have got the surgery done earlier in the year (shoulder injury was in pre season), but wanted to give him a taste of AFL Footy first.
Yze has just confirmed that they are aiming to get him through the season and do the surgery post.

Yzeās quote today is that they hope to get him through the season
Gibcus out for the season again!? Wow, Heās out more than Reid. Canāt take a trick!
Wasnt he the one delisted by St Kilda? Pretty sure he has a horrible off field manner and put the whole club offside.
Give us NH-H
