Lucky we're got Lynch which has enabled us to cover Jack's absence.

Agree BT, we need to keep playing the cubs. We've seen from the PF last year and the early rounds this year that we needed to expand and upgrade our depth especially in the midfield. These cubs give us that.

I love Bolts but someone had to come out for Jack. If not him, who? You'd be hard pressed to find anyone that deserved to be dropped. Castagna was in average form but had a good game Wednesday night and he's the only one I could think of that would have been considered a decent decision by RFC fans.

Anyway, I'd be bringing Bolts back in for Jack as well. Consideration to Towner very soon...:shh

In the Mix - Round 7

Sarah Black
afl.com.au
30 April 2019

RICHMOND

Get them in: Shai Bolton (25 disposals, 11 tackles) was outstanding in the VFL after his surprise omission from the senior side. Draftee midfielder Riley Collier-Dawkins had his best VFL game, while regular contributors Jacob Townsend and Connor Menadue were also good.

Under the pump: With just six touches, small forward Daniel Rioli was uncharacteristically quiet against Melbourne, although he did lay five tackles. He was coming off a bad corkie and a four-day break, and will be better for the rest.

Medical room: Jack Riewoldt's luck this season has gone from bad to worse, returning from a wrist injury only to injure his knee. He's facing 6-8 weeks on the sidelines. Full-back David Astbury will need to get through training this week after rolling his ankle against Melbourne. Jack Graham picked up a minor hamstring complaint in the VFL and is out for at least a week.

Verdict: A reverse of last week's team change, with Bolton coming in for Riewoldt. A 10-day break will help Astbury's cause, with Ryan Garthwaite on standby if needed.

As no obvious match up

Like i said earlier in this thread obvious replacement would be garthy but it wouldnt be the worst time to bring in CCJ for a run. He can fill in jacks role in the fwd line and baltas role as 2nd ruck, then balta can fill astburys role in defense. Depending on the conditions of course.

Out: Riewoldt, Astbury
In: CCJ, Bolton

Now Astbury may be out I would like to see Townsend get a chance.

Our pressure has gone up the last 3 weeks but throw Townsend back in their and it goes up another level again. 9 tackles on the weekend at VFL level.

Also Bolton back.

Ins- Bolton and Townsend
Outs- Jack and Astbury.

You do realise that if they do that then they'll probably move your boy from the wing to the backline again where even you admit he stinks it up...... :shh :shh

They took him thinking he’ll take 4 years before he’s physically developed enough to play AFL. He is ready now so it’s his time to shine. Was unlucky to be dropped after the Port game.... :shh
