Grundy is such an interesting conundrum going into next year.
On pure numbers think he is just a pure lock if he gets back to the clear number 1 ruck role.
This statement works on the assumption that his usage last year was just situational which I believe to be true.
Here is some averages from Grundy from 2018 onwards broken down by his ruck contest %;
Now here is Grundy's number of games that fall into each category per year;
If he gets back to the workhorse number 1 ruck in Sydney then sign me up based on this.

This, Soldo should be a forward, without a discount he's more interesting, with a discount he's probably just about a lock if he clearly wins the #1 spot. Given how much more they paid for him than Sweet it's probably a decent indicator who they rank higher. Not sure I personally agree with that though, I liked what I saw from Sweet more than Soldo has shown.
Worth noting that Port still have Lycett, Hayes, Visentini and Finlayson on top of Dixon who could also go back to ruck if Lord, Marshall and Georgiades can do what they want from them forward as Dixon played by far his best football as a ruck, I don't expect that though.

The way I see it;
Jonas retired, Bonner delisted, Duursma traded; Teakle and Dumont both rookies delisted. Barkla category b (doesn't count in the 42) delisted.
Soldo, Sweet, Rat, Bzt traded in. Narkle midseason draft to the rookie list.
We have created minus 1 spots on the main list, 1 rookie spot. (And a cat b spot)
Currently 38 + 4 on the list with lycett, Hayes and fantasia out of contract. 38 is the maximum number on the main list . Can be 36 + 6. So regardless of upgrades (Williams?) we must delist minimum another three players.

From asking a few Richmond supporters in discord, they seem to think Soldo will be ruck only. His tog is quite low - 69%. He should be better then Sweet but Sweet might be a threat at some point to his spot. Xerri as a forward is probably guesswork, I'll [pick him if he gets forward status. Not that interested as a ruck only. Didn't realise Gawn was only priced at 103, I've just swapped him in for English on my spreadsheet,
Was looking at another persons proposed team today and they had planned for Nick Daicos as D1. My question is - will Daicos still be a defender or mid-defender at the start of 2024 season? I thought he would've spent enough ime in the midfield to be a pure mid. If he is listed as a defender he would almost have to be a lock?
Also, is there any chance Petracca is a mid/forward? He spent a fair bit of time up forward, especially during the finals. Fingers crossed he is as he would be a lock for F1 which would be good because I don't know who else will be worthy picking at the moment. Could be looking at a cheap forward line again for 2024 to spend more on mids and defence.
Also, I'm pretty locked on Gawn/Grundy combination in ruck with a R/F as my F2/F3 e.g. Xerri/Soldo if R/F unless one of Gawn/Grundy has an injury interrupted pre-season.
