HeffHOST
But then going to Richmond, like I'm really not sure if this – I think long term it definitely helps him.
HeffHOST
But I don't know if it helps him in the short term really because if you look at the ruck shares here for Richmond, like Toby Nankervis was still used at 75.5% of the CBAs last year.
HeffHOST
And then Oliver Hayes-Brown went to – was 52% from his seven games.
HeffHOST
He was the next kind of in.
Kinnear BeatsonGUEST
Alex Davies from the Suns, potentially.
Kinnear BeatsonGUEST
Toby Nankervis, but he's going to be well and truly into his mid-30s.
Kinnear BeatsonGUEST
Bo McCreary.
Kinnear BeatsonGUEST
So we're yet to hear a gun name, but if they have got one signed, they probably don't want to announce it anyway.
Kieren BriggsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I know that's been a teething issue but I just want to come in and play my role and be picked for what I'm good at and if I can help those kids grow and not just become better footballers but become better people, that'll be really one of my aspirations.
speaker_5CORRESPONDENT
Coming in as a ruck, you're looking forward to working with Toby Nankervis?
Kieren BriggsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Yeah, we've had a few conversations.
Kieren BriggsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He's obviously been a great leader for the club for a very long time and I'm excited to see what we can do together.

Blair HartleySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Yeah, it's something we've really strongly considered.
Blair HartleySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I think I said on day one, we've got some really experienced heads.
Blair HartleySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We're blessed in having guys like Nick Roston and Toby Nankervis and Tom Lynch and Jack Ross and Tim Taranto, and these guys are fully committed to building what's next at Richmond.

What do
Mitch KeatingHOST
Okay.
Jonty RalphsmithHOST
I think they need a long-term Toby Nankervis successor.
Jonty RalphsmithHOST
I know they brought in a player from GWF, Kieran Briggs, during this player movement period, but he's probably more a stop gap, particularly when you look at their age profile.
Jonty RalphsmithHOST
They need someone who is-
Cal TwomeyHOST
And they've only got a couple there.
Cal TwomeyHOST
Toby Nankervis, Kieran Briggs.
Cal TwomeyHOST
Uh, Ollie Hayes-Brown is out of contract still.
Riley BeveridgeHOST
Yep.
Mitch KeatingHOST
And if we look at their off season as a whole, so the main ins and outs from the trade and free agency since.
Mitch KeatingHOST
They got Kieran Briggs in as a new potential, uh, number one ruck contender alongside Toby Nankervis.
Mitch KeatingHOST
Nathan O'Driscoll as a cheap wing option to pick up out of Fremantle.
Mitch KeatingHOST
They got pick five for this year's draft, so that's certainly gonna help them in their list build, but that did cost them their 2027 first round selection, among some other assets as well.
DamoHOST
Yeah, it's almost as if they've built, they've really hit the draft these last few years, Richmond, because I think they really wanted to get ahead of Tasmania so that they could get their rebuild, the draft portion of their rebuild, just out of the way.
DamoHOST
And getting a guy like Kieran Briggs allows them the fact that because Toby Nankervis and Kieran Briggs are fairly similar players, they've built these players around this Ruckman who can feed the youngsters coming through, the drafters coming through.
DamoHOST
So if Toby Nankervis does retire or ceases to... play after this season or next season.
DamoHOST
They're not finding a new Ruckman.
DamoHOST
They're not finding a new dynamic within that midfield, within that team.
DamoHOST
They've got a guy in Kieran Briggs who could very well take over from Toby Nankervis next season.
DamoHOST
Who knows what is going to happen there, but they've got a guy who can play almost the exact same way and can make it a seamless transition for their list.
DamoHOST
They're not having to relearn his taps or having to relearn how he competes for the ball when there's a stoppage.
Dwayne RussellHOST
know, I presume they're going to have a two ruck plan.
Dwayne RussellHOST
You'll both play you and Toby Nankervis in a perfect world.
Kieren BriggsGUEST
Yeah.
Kieren BriggsGUEST
Look, I don't have the, I don't have the game plan in front of me just yet, but, um, you know, if that works, it'll be nice.
Dwayne RussellHOST

Kieren BriggsGUEST
Yeah.
Kieren BriggsGUEST

You'll both play, you and Toby Nankervis, in a perfect world.
Kieren BriggsGUEST
Yeah, look, I don't have the, I don't have the game plan in front of me just yet, but, um, you know, that...
Kieren BriggsGUEST
if, if that works, it'd be nice.
