Midseason draft irrelevant for us. Maybe for Essendon desperate to finish 8th

Richmond Rant / Re: Pick 1: Sam Lalor

« Last post by Hard Roar Tiger on Yesterday at 10:16:00 PM »

It takes as long as it takes. Not as if we are playing for sheep stations atm.

It would be great to see at the back end of the season Lalor, Smillie, Hotton McAuliffe in the one team with Gray Brown, Banks  Trainor Clarke Cambbell a few of the tall forwards Algar and any other kid that warrants a game.

Throw Taranto Prestia Hopper Lynch Balta Broad Vlastuin lefau all in the one team.

Great call

Has shown he can take a grab as well. Atm he is probably just taking the safe option by punching. A bit of time and confidence and enough of those spoils should become marks.

Richmond Rant / Re: Richmond needs a stop-gap key forward (afl site)

« Last post by the claw on Yesterday at 09:56:01 PM »

Dont we have a couple of stop gap mid twenty mature tall forwards in Kossie and Blight. Failing that Gray.

Welcome back (brushes dust off)

Surely Kossie will get booted this year.

Gray and Blight I reckon will stay on.

I think your right about Gray and Blight but i would not be surprised if a club asks about one of them or Miller. That still leaves Young. I think we would look at a trade if clubs came sniffing around.

Its all about numbers and who leads the pecking order. We have plenty of numbers but the pecking order for me would be Balta, Gibcus, Trainor and Gray. It would be a good way to get back into the draft and help balance the list out a bit.

Kossie is contracted until end of  2026 i believe. I also think with no Lynch there it would not have hurt to play Kossie with Faull and Sims last week . Failing that Blight with them.

Last one unlike most here i think we have a plethora of talls and we cant play em all. When Lefau is fit to play seniors id be playing him thru the midfield and forward. Not as if he can't play there he has for us in the vfl already and we draftd him mostly  on the back of it

Richmond Rant / Re: Changes for next week against the Giants?

« Last post by the claw on Yesterday at 09:41:55 PM »

Will say this first IT WON'T HAPPEN but id be happy if it did.

Vlastuin - Gray - Broad
Banks - Miller - Brown

HRS - Taranto - Clarke
Nankervis - McAuliffe - Prestia

Campbell - Faull - Algar
Blight - Lynch - Mansell

Sonsie - Hopper - Ross - Smith - McIntosh/Trezise.

Ins - Clarke, Algar, Blight , Lynch , Sonsie, Nankervis, Prestia.
Out - Rioli omitted, Lalor inj, Dow inj, Ryan omitted, Green omitted, Trainor banged up rested, Sims good block but needs a break as well.

Its a more experienced side but importantly it rewards good VFL form and is mostly like for like replacements.
Prestia, Sonsie for Lalor and Dow.
Blight for Sims who needs a rest so does Faull imo.
Lynch for Trainor who looks banged up and definately needs a rest and played tall forward last week.
Nankervis for Ryan Bit od a no brainer that one
Algar for Rioli another no brainer.
Clarke for Green who is struggling badly.

Not bad, but I think I'd be playing Blight + Gray in the backline, maybe try Brown forward he's such a good kick.

Not convinced Prestia needs to come straight back in - he's played about half a VFL match, I'd give him another week to build up the minutes.

Would consider keeping Sims in so Nank has a chop out, play him forward with Lynch and Faull. Could possibly leave Brown in the backline and just rotate some of those talls.

Nope no need for both they won't drop Miller anyway. Brown is finding his feet and starting to look like a first round pick no need to move him.
Picked Prestia because i think that is the way they will go.

Blight plays for sims the young fella gets a rest and we give Nank a chop out whith Blighty. Blight gets a much deserved game albeit forward. Never could work out why they stopped the experiment after just one game of Blight forward. It also means we could play him back if we needed to offering up a bit of flexability.

Our young talls are looking a bit frayed imo including Faull with Sims and in particular Trainor.
 A few weeks off in the magoos getting some ball and less intensity will do them the world of good.
Sonsie and Prestia as mids replace Dow and Lalor.Shame about sammy.

On 7 , and came from the coach , he said they will be conservative and he will be a month.

I was talking about this he should have rested on a 5 day break narrative. That certainly didn't come from the Club

And on what was said today by Yze, he said he will miss 3 games over 4 weeks because we have a bye in there
