Looks like we got through unscathed.
Fire away with your changes, if any?
-
Lynch may need a rest. Doesn't look fit to me.
-
Although he was OK in the 2nd half I'd still be dropping Aarts
IN: Ross
OUT: Aarts
-
We need a second ruck. Bring in CCJ!

Wow. Really?
I thought he was great.
-
Pickett still takes on a full roller coaster of emotions with his typical 1 good thing following by 1 bad thing on repeat however I was quite impressed with how he competed in the ruck.
With Vlas and Prestia still out I don’t think there will be any performance based changes it will just be whether they want to bring in another ruck like CJ to combat Gawn.
If they do I’d probably think it would come at the expense of mansell who was solid in his second game.

No change for me.

I also disagree - thought he was very good myself.

Agree with your sentiment re: Gawn. Pickett won't cut it. Mind you his goal was quite awesome from 50m.

Don't see Dimma making any changes after an 86 point win.

Seems Lynch takes a while to get going every year. It was roughly this time of the year in 2019 that Matty Lloyd called Lynch a "liability". At least Lynch is taking a key defender or two which is allowing Jack off the chain.

I want to see him lead more it’s very frustrating when he doesn’t.

Dimma looked angry after the game. Either from the umpiring or a player or two. Will be interesting.

There is real need for changes imo.
After an 86 point win why is that i can hear people ask.
Quite simple, there are players getting a game who we just would not miss. we would win with them or with out them.
Then there is areas where we are very thin on for cover and there is also a need to get games into promising players who will be asked to play in prominent positions. These blokes are not going to wait around forever to be given a chance.
An awful lot of our better players are not going to be around for ever ever either the cover for these blokes that is the players who will be asked to take over need games into them for when they are asked to take over.
I know this is all about a balancing act i just feel we are really at a stage where we need to be doing more in this area.
An example would be this week CC-J second ruck with good time up fwd.
Would keep Castagna and ask the likes of Bolton and Edwards to spend more time fwd then giving the opportunity to young mids like Ross and RCD. Would not hesitate to drop Aarts and Rioli to facilitate this because i believe we will win with or without those two.

In CCJ , RCD or Ross
Out Mansell , Aarts
Tough on Mansell but we are a mid short and need a second ruck now , or at least for the next couple of games...

Does CCJ play enough in the ruck in the vfl?
I’m not sure he does.
-
Would he play more than 35% of game time in the ruck at AFL level right now?
-
He wouldn’t have to. Nank will ruck 70-80% of the game. CJ is just there to give him a chop out.
-
C'mon Hawks although their giving the Dees so many opportunities.
-
I've never seen a team make as many mistakes as the Hawks today. Particularly late.

I’m not sure he does.
He spends some time in the ruck at vfl but because we have a lack of Genuine Key forwards in our system he spends a lot of time forward. 30 40% game time in the ruck would be a good experience for him rucking mainly against their second stringer.
Reckon he would also help Tom Lynch out enormously when up fwd he has to be respected as he does take a real good grab.
Plonk him deep let JR roam where he wants and get TL on his bike instead of being constantly man handled by two or three defenders.
At the end of the day at 200cm and 102kg he is a far better option playing second ruck than Marlion Pickett who is one ruck contest away from being killed . Or for that matter robbing our backline of key defenders and playing them in the ruck also risking injury there aint no replacements for Balta or Astbury if they do go down.
-
Yes, must play a 2nd ruckman unless its wet then I would play a mid/small like Ross. Or play the same 22.
-
CCJ listed at 105kg this year. Bulked up!
-
What the hell is going on down there. We have a 200cm 105kg very promising Ruck/Fwd who is tracking in the right direction and doing most things right with an ageing Jr and a struggling TL and at the very least people dont want to give him a game it seems including the brains trust fmd.
Insterad lets play 184cm Pickett as a pinch hitter ruck or EVEN rob our backline of its structure and play Balta or Astbury there Cmon people it laughable. Also come on Hardwick at some stage you have to bite the bullet please dont leave it until it is too late just find the right balance of kids playing with the vets.

You are aware that CCJ has been suspended and was only available for selection from this round just completed?
I get your point but he hasn't been available, so I reckon that's a fair reason why he hasn't been playing
-
Was Jumping the gun a bit as i dont think they will make any changes despite the glaring need to play a second ruckman.
It wont be just Gawn this week, luke Jackson AT 198CM had 17 disposals took 5 marks and had 22 hit outs and spent significant time on the ground and in the ruck. Clearly Nankervis could do with a decent hand this week.
Personally id play CC-J, Ross and Rcd despite having a 86 point win.We need to match them inside and big bodied mids in RC-D and Ross would greatly help this week imo.
-
I agree we should get a 2nd ruck for Sat night vs Dees

In the Mix: Round 6

It is hard to see the Tigers making too many changes this week after their thrashing of St Kilda last Thursday unless Dion Prestia makes a quicker than expected recovery from his hamstring. They've also had a long break to refresh ahead of their clash with Melbourne on Anzac Day eve. After being the unused substitute, Jack Ross staked his claim for a return with 34 disposals in the VFL, while Patrick Naish (33, one goal) and Riley Collier-Dawkins (31) were also very good. Callum Coleman-Jones picked up 22 disposals and kicked two goals, while coach Damien Hardwick says Maurice Rioli Jr is getting very close to his first game after being named an emergency last week but it is difficult to see them pulling the trigger on that this week.
Verdict: Unchanged.

RICHMOND
B: D.Astbury, N.Balta, D.Grimes
HB: R.Mansell, B.Houli, J.Short
C: K.McIntosh, T.Cotchin, M.Pickett
HF: J.Aarts, K.Lambert, J.Castagna

FOLL: T.Nankervis, S.Edwards, J.Graham
I/C: N.Broad, S.Bolton, D.Rioli, L.Baker
SUB: J.Ross
Team Tips: Richmond father-son recruit Maurice Rioli Jnr is banging down the door for selection with coach Damien Hardwick revealing his tackling pressure has pushed him up the order in team calculations. While the Tiger might have to start as the sub, there’s no doubting he is ahead of where the club expected which could see him debut in coming weeks. Jack Ross had 32 touches in the VFL and is doing his best to jump into the senior side.

But he is 200cm. I'm sure somebody here kept banging on about 200cm and plus were no good. Just can't remember who it was.

This is why Lynch is good. He's only 199cm.
Haha worth a laugh sorry Clawski!

RICHMOND is unlikely to make any changes to the side, but Jack Ross, last week’s medical sub, is pushing for selection after a 34-disposal effort in the VFL.

Dimma said Maurice jnr won't be playing.

Was he asked about the second ruck ?.

There was no mention of it in the video of the presser on the RFC website.
Dees fan and regular SEN caller Chris from Camberwell reckons we'll have to bring CCJ in because of Jackson not Gawn lol.

Why is that so funny, The bloke had a 17 possession game took 5 marks had 22 hit outs and spent 80% of the time on the ground along with Gawns 90%. Nankervis cant be in two places at the same time.. If we bring in a young Ruck fwd like CCJ you would hope he has a similar output wouldn't ya.He would also make em think if he goes fwd Jackson probably would have to as well.
Jacksons time on ground and stats are even more reason why Nank could do with a decent chop out. 184cm mids wont cut it this week. Seems like common sense, Nankervis plays on Gawn and CCJ plays on Jackson.

I actually agree that we needed a second ruck and this week probably more so. Thing is he was not available before last week and has little to no football so far this year. Even with that I would bring him in this week but I'm not on the selection committee. I will have to go with their selections, they do have the runs on the board in the last few years

Dont be sorry i give as good as i get. But a bit of context would be nice .
Yep i stand by the comment if chasing a Kpp in particular key forwards i prefer we take em around 195 rather than 200cm.I believe in general they are quicker more agile better built and stronger, and far more around this height seem to make it.
Dont believe i have ever said not to take em if they tick the boxes.It does seem in recent years more 200cm players are becoming decent KPP'S.
If people were to ask if i have any concerns about CC-J It would be down the same lines as Vickery. Vickery was neither a good enough ruckman or a good enough kpf he was just okay in both roles but not great in one of them.In CC-J case i dont think he lacks ticker unlike Vickery.
