After a disappointing season for the reigning premiers, six Richmond young guns remain to be without a contract for next season.

Emerging Tigers Daniel Rioli, Mabior Chol, Sydney Stack, Callum Coleman-Jones, Patrick Naish and Ryan Garthwaite are among such list, with two-first and second-round draft picks endangering their future in the squad.

Despite reinventing himself in the backline, three-time premiership playerย Rioli is said to only receive a one-year extension deal at the Tigers, likely assessing his options past next season.

โ€œHe will stay, but potentially only on a one-year deal, according to his manager Ralph Carr,โ€ย  John Ralph told AFL Tonightย this week.

โ€œ(I) think the contract is probably not massive right now. If he can have a massive year, an All-Australian year, he clearly will be richly rewarded after that one.โ€

โ€œHe tells me heโ€™s really happy, but he just wants to assess his options past 2022 but a one-year deal would be unusual for a three-time premiership player at only 24 years of age".

Despite playing his best season yet for Richmond,ย Chol also still finds himself without a contract for the 2022 season.

His 2021 campaign has ignited some interest from a number of rival clubs interstate, yet Ralph believes the 24-year-old is not interested in any opportunity outside of Melbourne.

โ€œ(He) wants more (senior) opportunities. Iโ€™m not sure that the other Melbourne clubs are knocking down the door, he does want to stay in Melbourne,โ€ Ralph added.

Stack on the other hand is set to wear the yellow and black for a few more years, despite only playing seven matches this year due to his ten-game suspension.

The Tigers recently announced new deals for trio Jason Castagna, Kamdyn McIntosh and Thomson Dow, while Coleman-Jones is likely to remain at Punt Road past this season.
