Rookies:
Richmond –
Jacob Bauer ($123k FWD)
pick 10 in 2022 Mid-Season Draft. 192cm fwd, 3 goals in VFL last weekend with 24 disps & 12 marks
Sam Banks ($123k D/M)
pick 29 in 2021 AFL Draft. 187cm half-back/wing, 18 disps in VFL
2023 VFL averages excluding an injury affected game for Bauer are;
Banks: 78.4 AF
Bauer: 67.1 AF
North Melbourne: Cooper Harvey ($117k M/F)

North interim coach Brett Ratten said: “He’s just forced his way into the team. Eight shots at goal (in the VFL), he came over to Adelaide as a carryover, he’s been close. He’s creative with the ball. He’s a goalkicker. That what we’ll see in the game.”
