Fire away with your changes? :help
-
Unfortunately we don't have any cattle to come in but I would love to drop:
Prestia
KMac
Ralph
Nank (terrible, no confidence, always punching instead of clunking)
-
Have to drop Ryan after that. I swear, I can't handle his non-efforts for another game. Get the kid back to the VFL until he learns to push his weight around.
I don't know where to begin tbh. It has to be with kicking efficiency. Whoever kicks well in the reserves gets their chance at the expense of those in the seniors who can't. The game has changed and we need to change with it.
-
Riewoldt desperately needs a week off, but what can you do?
Out: Riewoldt, Prestia, Dow
In: Bradtke/Bauer, Cumberland, Banks
-
Our midfield continues to be the major issue. Not having Lynch doesn’t help. I would have played Dow throughout as at least he can win a clearance.
-
May as well make changes. Ou
Out
McIntosh
Pickett
These 2 were bloody pathetic tonight
Prestia - clearly injured
Reiwoldt - worst game he's ever played and probably done.
Cotchin - managed
Mansell - just not good enough
-
Don't care anymore

What? He did SFA while he was out there
Out: KMac (Pickett to his wing, he’s not a forward ass)
Mansell
Dow
Nank/Ryan (doesn’t matter which one)
In: Cumberland, Bauer/Bradtke and any other kid that needs a run
-
Could drop half the team tbh
-
Where do you start the list management has been absolutely diabolical. We have so many players that have been turned into role players we don't have any tradtional players to play certain roles anymore.
No small forward.
No leading medium or tall forward (I don't count Dusty as a leading forward), as Jack is too slow now and Lynch is injured. Ryan is not ready.
Not enough midfield grunt, not enough genuine pace, not good enough footskills. We are masters of nothing.
-
McIntosh for me 100% has to be dropped. No question.
We have no forwards, I don't understand why we can't play Cumberland there and play Dusty 100% midfield. Or put him in Picketts role. I can't see how he is any worse than Pickett up forward or even Cotch. Or a 13% fit Prestia.
Ryan dropped for Bradtke we just need to try something different our forwardline is absolutely park footy standard.
-

Sorry cannot agree regarding Dow
He was ordinary, very ordinary
However, I think he deserves another go next week only because the gap between AFL and VFL is so steep. He struggled with the pace of the game.
-
INS: Sonsie, Cumberland,
OUTS: Ralphsmith, Grimes (managed), Clarke (sub)
-
Dimma in his post match presser didn’t appear overly enthusiastic re cumberland
-

Yeah just listened to it
Think there will be minimal changes, which is what I expect but his presser basically confirmed it
-
I would look to Banks and Sonsie. Maybe Biggie in the Ryan role as he is tired.
-
Thinking about it some more I look at somehow bringing in Bauer to cover Grimes, who clearly out of sorts and struggling
Last week against Geelong our mids kicked multiple goals, last night they didn't
Our F50 and F50 entries are a shambles. So that's why we need another marking/leading option other than Jack
Bauer can play back or forward so I reckon it's worth considering... we need to do something different
-
Don't mind it, either him or Biggie as they can hit the marking contest to create ground ball. Last night, Ryan was pushed out every contest- then the slow chip kick commenced :sleep
-
Out Nankervis
In Miller
-
OUT:
Kicking it to Jack against 3 defenders
IN:
Kicking it to another tall DEEP in the forward whoever that is!

Torch that is crazy talk. Better to persevere with something that doesn’t work.
They could even give Bradtke a run. ?? Trying something is better than nothing
-
If Jack is hurt (and Prestia) give them a rest until after the bye

RICHMOND interim coach Andrew McQualter could be without star defender Nick Vlastuin for his first game in charge against Port Adelaide.
The Tigers said Vlastuin would face a fitness test later this week after receiving a heavy knock to his leg against Essendon.
Vlastuin will need to get through training this week in order to be available for selection.
If not fit, Vlastuin could be replaced by Tylar Young.

In the Mix: Round 11

The Tigers will be sweating on the fitness of intercept defender Nick Vlastuin, who suffered a corked leg against Essendon.
Tylar Young would be in the frame to replace Vlastuin if needed.
Noah Cumberland has now kicked seven goals from his past two VFL matches, while Ben Miller performed strongly after his omission, if one of a very sore Jack Riewoldt or the young Samson Ryan needs a break.
Tyler Sonsie racked up 28 touches despite spending significant time in defence and Sam Banks (19 and a goal) continues to push for a debut.

I would like to see more of Nyuon in the ruck role. He can leap over a building in a single bound.
Just play him there and he can rest forward when Nank is in there. I wouldn’t drop Ryan just yet.
Bring in Cumberland and tell him when he doesn't have the footy, he needs to try to beat Mansell for work rate.
Try Banks on a wing
Let’s see what happens.
-
This is how I would like to see the team line up this week (on ground)
B: Vlastuin - Balta - Grimes
HB: Short - Broad - Baker
C: Graham - Ross - Prestia
HF: D Rioli - Miller - Martin
F: Cumberland - Reiwoldt - Bradtke
R: Nankervis - Taranto - Bolton
Int: Sonsie - Banks - Nyoun - Cotchin
Sub: Ralphsmith
Out Pickett, McIntosh, Clarke, Mansell, Ryan, Dow
In Miller, Cumberland, Bradtke, Sonsie, Banks, Nyoun
Think Biggy gives greater versatility than Ryan around the ground. Dow a bit stiff after one game.
Rioli back in the forward line for me.
Bradtke & Miller in to give us some more targets to kick it to.
-
Banks is the natural option to replace Vlastuin as he would be his replacement in a couple of years.
Young can come in and play CHB allowing Broad to go back to his usual role as third (fourth) tall.
Ross (and Graham) should go into the guts while Prestia - who was obviously by far the slowest player on the paddock last week - can take a break.
Picket must go back to wing as he seemed totally lost forward. If Ralphsmith is played it should be on a wing for the future.
Will be interesting to see whether they pick Cumberland since he lost Dimma but kicked four last week.
Using Biggie is not necessary just yet. Let him wait for a week or two to see if Ryan drops off as the stuff.
If Grimes is that sore maybe Biggy can take his job as BP although using both Young and Biggy may be a risk too far.
In the same way that Dimma's retirment has given us the prime chance to strongly check senior coaches, we need to look at the team for the next couple of years and see who can pass the test as a senior player.
If Cotchin, Riewoldt, Tarrant and maybe Prestia, Broad and McIntosh go this year and Grimes, Martin, Picket, Vlastuin next year then we need to look at the kids and that's Bradtke, Young, Banks, Clarke, Mansell, Ralphsmith, Dow, Sonsie, Brown and Gibcus asap.
A decision on Ross and Graham as mids needs to be made or replacements found for Cotchin, Prestia and Dusty.
Cotchin - Ross Riewoldt - Bradtke Tarrant - Young Prestia - Sonsie Broad - Brown McIntosh - Ralphsmith
Grimes - Gibcus Martin - Graham Picket - Dow Vlastuin -Banks
That's a lot if IFs with nothing underneath except Clarke and Mansell who are dicing with Cumberland and MRJ for the HFF right now.
Calls for a totally different approach from McQualter and the other coaches with no guarantees from an incoming senior coach.
