* Too early to call on Rioli and Vlastuin. Rioli's battered and bruised. Floss similar to Astbury - whether he can put weight through the ankle. If they don't come up it's another chance to bring another soldier in to play a role.
* Un-Richmond like performance against the Dogs. Didn't bring the intent. That uncontested plan opposition sides are bringing against us is something we are working on.
* Cubs have been fantastic and have brought in a lot of energy. Baker a great character with polish. Stack tough and composed with the ball. Balta pace, skies the limit in terms of potential, just needs more consistency. Ross inside mid playing like a 50-100 gamer.
* Loves the supplementry recruiting rule. Wish it was around when he was young.
* Mantra of having fun adopted by other clubs? Lead by Dimma, Cotch. Linked back to why we play footy and how we felt when we were young. Mantra is there whether we win or lose.
* Freo have been good. They're a tough side as you'd expect from a Ross Lyon coached side. We do feel we travel well as a group.
* Asked about us being exposed by uncontested footy and that the Dogs had 20 marks from only 52 F50 entries?
We have to watch how we [mids] connect with the forward line. That will help Lynch. He's important to us than just what occurs on the field. He is coming back from playing not much footy in the past year.
* Dusty not back statistically to where he was. So externally can look like he's not back to where he was. He is copping a lot of attention but his presence opens it up for others. So while he might not be getting it as much as before, others are and benefitting from his work.
