There doesn't seem to be a thread for pre-season activity for other clubs in general, so here it is.
I have the Eagles-Richmond pre-season game on (muted) and Richmond are diabolical. We know how hard they cut last year, and they have a bunch of experienced players out:
"The Tigers have chosen not to take Nick Vlastuin, Jacob Hopper, Tim Taranto, Jayden Short, Toby Nankervis and Nathan Broad to Perth to face the Eagles, while Tom Lynch will also stay in Melbourne after suffering a concussion late last month.
For a side that lost four senior players to other clubs in the off-season and three due to retirement, it means Kamdyn McIntosh will be the only Tiger on the park with more than 70 games of AFL experience."
I don't see how they get much value today. West Coast are playing against a virtual u19s team with most of their best players missing (including a few first rounders from last year), while resting a bunch of players themselves.
