No public access I believe

From the RFC web-site

Please note: Richmond’s home game against North Ballarat at the ME Bank Centre on March 15 is unlikely to be available for fans to attend, due to development works being carried out around the oval.

Web stream? And will it be replayed? I'll be on the GC.

No Lloyd or McBean.

Good to see Dea back, and Williams.

Lloyd was named as an emergency for GC game. A late change?

McBean must be injured?

 :thumbsup
Yeah we're already going to vote for him mate, you don't need to keep selling it.....

They always take 1 emergency on interstate trips

King is fit wp


yes; so; point?

And Dimma said yesterday he'd had an interupted pre-season and didn't have enough miles in his legs so he was unlikely to play but was an important player to our side. When he's fit enough for AFL (read match fit) he will back in that side

But he's underdone.

Players run out of gas majorly in the early rounds, no use taking up a guy that isn't ready.

Strong team really. A lot of players that could quite easily step into our current AFL team. They will miss McBean though as they seem a little short up forward. Elton will have his work cut out marking or even bringing the ball to ground.

  both bathie and barlow can play forward reckon at least one of em if not both will.
structurally should go something like this allowing for rfc listed players to start.

B/    BATCHELOR 188cm - DARROU 190cm - GRIMES 193cm
HB/ MCINTOSH 192cm - BARLOW 195cm - DEA 186cm.

C/  YOUNG - GORDON - WILLIAMS
R/  STEPHENSON 200cm - HELBIG - ARNOT

HF/ O HANLON 189cm  - ELTON 197cm  - KNIGHTS 184cm
F/  KING 178cm - BATHIE 193cm  - A EDWARDS 184cm

 INT/ BATSANIS - CONTIN - KEDDELL - GLEESON - SCHIBECI - CONCA

If theres a problem id say its maybe pace. in the main it looks to be a real big bodied side and really experienced .also only one recognised ruckman. i think orren is the one who will have his work cut out. i really wish we had another  junior ruckman on our rookie list 20 22 yo. i say another because people will argue mcbean is one. id argue hes going to be more like vickery kpp first.
Missing listed players  who should spend plenty of time in the team are miles, mcbean,  banfield, lennon,  with the last injured .
also davey is not playing and neither is mcqualter.
its a very strong experienced vfl squad and if it doesnt make top 4 it will be a failure imo.

Is Wall injured? Perhaps Barlow is seen as the better option

overall a good looking 22

Where are Miles and Banfield?

They need to get games into their legs.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.
