The Kangaroos locked in the talented Canberra Demons footballer late last week in the wake of the North East Australian Football League (NEAFL) cancellation for 2020.

Guy is the younger brother of Max Richardson, who starred for Temora at centre-half-back last year, winning the club's best-and-fairest in his first season.

Brother Haydn had already followed Max in committing to Temora for this season and 19-year-old Guy could complete a massive coup one month out from the proposed start to the season.

"He's an exciting midfielder, he'll bring another dimension," Temora coach Jake Wooden said.

"He's quick, he'll definitely play on ball. He's got a bit of an x-factor, which is good."

Richardson has already had two seasons at the Demons and was considered close to an AFL draft selection in 2018.

The Ainslie junior has averaged 15 touches a game in 29 appearance in the NEAFL.

"He's tough as well but he plays a bit different to Haydn and Max. He'll be more on the outside and using his speed," Wooden said.

"He moves in and out well and he has good skills. He might push up to half-forward as well, and be good to help us deliver the ball into Matt (Harpley) and Tom (Faul)."

Faul is another NEAFL-experienced player coming to Temora with a big boom.

Temora had indicated concern about the Farrer League salary cap being slashed by 75 per cent, saying it could impact their ability to compete given the club relies on a handful of travelling players.

But Guy Richardson may help fill a gap with Canberra-based Matt Kelly a possible withdrawal due to a change of work commitments.

The Kangaroos also lost Sam Jensen and Kieran Shea in the off-season while premiership player Luke Gerhard headed back to Coolamon.

Kangaroos coach Jake Wooden said the mood at the club is positive ahead of an AFL Riverina meeting on Tuesday night.

"We had a committee meeting last Wednesday and we've got the wheels in motion. We've got good numbers and we're right for three grades," he said.

"We'll wait for the meeting and hopefully it's all positive and by mid-July we're into it.

"The boys are happy to be back on the track and able to get around each other a bit more (now training in groups of up to 20). The last month or more has been good to build up the numbers and I'm lucky that everyone's keen and has stayed positive."

The Kangaroos are set to open their season at home to East Wagga-Kooringal on July 18 according to the tentative draw for the nine-week season.

Wooden believes the cancellation of the NEAFL and potential availability of more players can only help the Farrer and Riverina Leagues as the push ahead with a short, sharp season.
