Re: Roo Signs on
Both Roo & Monty should retire this year. Both are club champs but are about to fall off a cliff IMO.

Re: Roo Signs on
I would keep Roo for one more year but manage his body. Can play 14 games a year. Should be stated that 2018 is his last year and he will only play 14 games. Communicate this to the fans clearly and early so there is no confusion.
Monty should go. I would prefer to see Bailey Rice and/or Freeman given games.

Re: Roo Signs on
Roo has an average game yet is still our best forward.

There is no confusion around when Roo goes..he goes when he goes ....simple as that.

Re: Roo Signs on
Hope Roo stays on...legends that can still perform should stay for as long as they can, any youngens coming to the club need guys like Roo who demand and deserve the ultimate respect. He is a draw card for any young champ to play alongside.

Not sure about Roo. He looked very tired yesterday but still kicked 3 goals, and with Paddy at crossroads we may have no choice but for him to play another year until we recruit a replacement key forward for Roo/Paddy.

RICHMOND is one club likely to benefit from the removal of the veterans' list with the AFL planning to increase each clubs' salary cap in 2017.
The AFL intends to add an average amount to each clubs' total player payments based on the total number of veterans across the competition to assist with the transition.
...
St Kilda had chosen not to take advantage of the salary cap relief despite having eligible veterans on its list
...
The decision to abolish the veterans' list in 2017 was announced in June 2014 as part of the AFL's competitive balance policy with the transition process giving clubs a chance to factor the change into their planning

Re: Roo Signs on
Roo and Monty must stay if their form and fitness hold up.
Currently both in our top ten players. Plenty of spots for others to earn a place.
