Jade Rawlings on 3aw pregame.....
* He doesn't like being accused of tanking when we bring in Cuz, Cotch and Brown.
* McGuane on Lloyd. Just be going Luke. Played on lesser likes past couple of weeks and just been average.
* Post - very happy with his output at the moment.
* Richo - certainty to play next week. Most likely Coburg where we can control gametime. He's 2 weeks ahead of schedule.
* Instructions at start of reign was win as many games as possible with the list you have. No interference from management.
* Jade with be interviewed in next 7 days for the full-time Richmond job. The Club has set up an exhaustive process and it is well planned out according to him.
* Tucky - average past 3 weeks especially most recent game (North). It's just not numbers. We're big on defensive efforts and his disposal has been untidy. He agreed. He hasn't complained and been really good about it and has gone back to work on those things.
* Age average of side has dropped 2 years under Rawlings.
* Bowden - we want to get as many games into those who will be part of the next premiership and Jade said he wants to drive and be apart of that. Well Joel takes a defensive postion and we need to have McGuane, Thursty and Silvester in those positions. We've still been competitive with a young side.
* We treat our vets with respect. Some might say playing vets in the VFL isn't respectful but he can handle that. They'll all get farewell games (Jade mentioned specifically Bowden).
* Cuz - workrate's been fantastic, he adds ideas at team meetings, has great energy. Still has plenty to offer to this group next year.
* Genuinely we have good kicks. It's work rate thathasn't been up to scratch. Midfielders hanging around the stoppages too long when the opposition has cleared out. We need to work harder to spread from the stoppage and make kicking targets easier. Our skills have improved and although we still do make horrible turnovers at times it has improved.
* Last week - we simply stopped. We became reactive in the second half and stopped doing the things that made us a good side. All mental application and concentration in Jade's opinion.
