RICHMOND is hopeful of regaining Jack Graham for the Round 7 game against Gold Coast.

Graham is set to return from a hamstring injury, while gun defender Nathan Broad has now served his four-match suspension.

Maurice Rioli jnr suffered a hamstring injury late in the loss to Melbourne.

Miller to defense and Young forward lets at least try it.I just dont see it with Young. I don't think there is much improvement left in him to be honest. Why Miller was subbed out last week is beyond me. Bauer into the team as a tall fwd and Banks to a wing. Vlastuin dropped bring in Dow or Ross. Ross only if he is played as a ball winning mid.



 I have trouble picking up on sarcasm but this is sarcasm right?
No sarcasm here mate unlike others just thinking outside the box. And not that far outside the box.

Miller has played his best footy as a defender and would be a better fit than young imo of course.Why the hell dimwit did not just swap Balta and Miller last week is beyond belief. And it bit him on the arse.
Young is a battler down back and just filling a hole till blokes come back from injury.

We clearly drafted Bauer as a tall fwd. Yes he has played a couple of good games down back in the two's because of injuries.
He also showed a fair bit of promise as a fwd for most of his games.
D o we throw Bradtke back and if he goes okay stop developing him as a fwd.

Do we suddenly stop developing the few  young tall fwds we have when we are in our greatest need to find a few because of a few good games in defence. Apparently so.

Its funny the biggest single list deficiency we have and no one wants to try anything to fix it is tall fwd or lack there of.
People don't want to see Balta tried there or Miller now Bauer and Young and i won't be surprised to see em play Bradtke down back as well. Its as if they are blind to the glaring key fwd problems we have problems that have been there for ages.

If Soldo is fit then he will play ruck and Ryan will play mostly fwd. Even with those two id want to see Bauer play fwd drop Young and play Miller down Back.

If Soldo is not right to go then Young fwd, yeah a stretch but why not find out if he can offer us something there, if he is poor a simple swap with Miller will solve the problem. Atm with the lack of talls all young would have to do is present and compete.

Why are we "managing" players to miss winnable games directly after they play in games against top sides we were likely to lose to and did lose to anyway?

We played Jack against the Pies then manage/rest him to miss the Dogs game. We end up losing both games. The latter by a kick.

We played Prestia against the Dees then manage/rest him to miss the Suns game. We lost to the Dees anyway and now weaken our side against Gold Coast.

Why match committee why? :huh3
