Lloyd questions Tigers captain as rebuild begins

Do you stick with Nan Curvis driving forward with this new phase or do you look for somebody else? I think that the times come for a new captain. Jimmy, with the way Tobys going with his football, often gives away a lot of free kicks and and things like that. But the the sad part for Richmond at the moment, and I say I understand this, when you win three flags, I can understand how this could happen at a time because you don't get good young draft picks in. So you take the three flags every day of the week to deal with what they're dealing with. But they're injuries, yeah, and they're injuries out of control at the moment as well. I feel like Liam Baker is the obvious, but you don't give the obvious to a player who's thinking of leaving. But after that, I couldn't name him. So if he if he committed, you give him the oh, I think he's the next best fit. So, yeah, OK. And what about though, if you did a trade and you used him, I mean, they've gotta probably let a couple go. Yeah. Who who do you keep and who to go? That's where I feel like they're one win and eight losses. It's the worst I've been in situations where our season's been shot. At this point, this is their current draft hand. That's not good enough for how bad they are going and how long it's gonna be before Tasmania come in soon. They need to strike now and they need to get as many picks inside the top 30 as possible. So who do we flag? Jimmy? Yeah, so if it's Baker, is it Rioli who you know, He claimed he wasn't talking to Damien Hardwick regarding Gold Coast. Is it Graham heading back to SA, which has been spoken about. But I'm with you though. You want to get this strike now with the draft because you want to get 50 to 60 games under the belt before Tassie comes in. But then you throw in the likes Toronto and Hopper in there for the long run lost and will be the senior experienced player, bolter gibkas Hopefully we get to see. So what about Tom Lynch, who's had injuries but would look very, very attractive wearing a Collingwood or a Melbourne jumper while they're in that premiership window? Yeah, so I think that and you get and you get how much off the salary? Yeah, we look at North Melbourne and what you got to be careful of is not getting rid of your senior players. You need to keep the right ones. But I just wonder whether freeing up $1,000,000 from Tom Lynch or they would pay a club would pay a fair portion of it might be a win win. So I'd be, I'd be eyeballing involves Adam Muse every senior player and say are you in for us or do you want out? And you can see the ones who want to be in for the long haul and others who go. You know what my only reason for playing now is a premiership. And if Tom Lynch is one that's a bit wobbly, he could be 1 to go. There's a decision that has to be made about Dustin Martin too. Lord, I'll ask you and you Jimmy, as the footy experts on this panel, would you keep him? And again, I I raised this in the context of Brendan Gale wanting and already on record saying he wants to keep him. That may not align with the next CEO who who wants to see where this club is going to be. He's one that I'm looking in the eye and say, Dusty, how bad do you want this? Do you want to be playing in the bottom four side next year or not And if you aren't willing and up for that fight we prefer to move your I suppose the question of dusty is do you want to play 300 games or 330 games and and make that decision But Gee I'll tell you what you wouldn't want to be getting renewed if he's committed to play 330 which means you know the next two seasons you get him and stamping well if if he wants to carry us forward mate. If he wants to stay, 3040 plus goalkeepers are hard to find and that's back to Tom Lynch. Even if if he's committed and his body's right, you don't wanna get down the path to go. You know what we're looking for? Yeah. Key forward. Yeah. So we're just forward, Yeah.
