Richmond general manager of football Neil Balme has confirmed reports that Anthony Miles and Corey Ellis are set to leave the Tigers after failing to break into the senior team on a consistent basis in 2018.
Seeking more playing time, both Ellis and Miles look likey to end up at the Gold Coast whom are set to lose star forward Tom Lynch to Richmond.
Balme, on SEN’s KB and the Doc, stated that both players are seeking a move to secure more playing time at senior level and that Richmond wouldn't expect much back in a trade.
“We have got the situation where blokes like those two in particular have played very good footy this year in our VFL team and haven’t been able to push into the side often enough,” said Balme.
“To be reasonable, we’re saying to them what do you want to do, and they’re saying we really want to play, so we would help them get somewhere if that’s the case, and not expect too much in return.
“There’s interest from the Gold Coast I’m pretty sure in those two.
