I think I've worked it out

Not what I'd do but what's likely to happen

INS: Thomas, Jackson

OUTS: Non Favourites = Take you pick here. Eg, Batchelor, Dea, A Edwards etc

If that's the case bring Grigg too and omit the three you mentioned.

We are going to get flogged anyway so who cares.

Play the best from the reserves.
Arnott, O'Hanlon and roll the dice in playing McBean.
Kids with no expectations that sometimes make things happen.
It's that simple Spud

I dont think anyone really deserves to be dropped besides Ellis and maybe A Edwards. Would like to see a team like this though.

Morris - Rance - Dea
Batchelor - Elton - Vlastuin

Deledio - Martin - O'Hanlon

S.Edwards - Griffiths - Conca
Arnott - Riewoldt - Ellis

Maric - Cotchin - Miles

IC - Jackson, Lennon, Grimes, Mcdonough

All about getting games into the kids now I reckon. Who cares if we win games from now on, they are meaningless. Need to prepare for next year and going forward.

I think we all agree it should be about getting games into kids now but they're not going to do that

Hence why I've accepted that when it comes to the weekly "ins & outs" the formula is very simple

Ins = FAVOURITES

Outs = NON FAVOURITES

It's not right let alone fair but that's how they roll ...clearly

I cant wait to see what dimma does when Jackson and Thomas are available. Im tipping they will both go in the guts and Miles will be asked to play a more outside role to enable this and his performances will subsequently start to taper.
Lock it in Eddie

The 1st player that should be dropped is  :chuck Ellis. This guy is the culprit in letting the team down week after week by going across ground & giving up goals drops the moral of the playing group. Gone.
The next players to omit is the ones who squib a contest.  :chuck  Ellis, Houli, Lennon. S Edwards. can't have gutless footballers on a big arena as you will lose before even starting the game.
Next is to drop  :chuck Rewodlt. if you cant kick simple goals go back & learn the drills at a lower level. Bring in Griffiths or McBean.
Next & most important is to find the 18,000 who done the right thing & stayed home  :thumbsup Richmond are RABBLE

Would be happy with this line up Friday night:

Dea              Chaplin      Rance
Helbig           Grimes       Batchelor
Jackson        Cotchin      O'Hanlon
S.Edwards    Riewoldt    Martin
McDonough  Deledio      Elton
Maric            Vlastuin     Miles

Conca Thomas Griffiths         sub: Lennon

We need to look at a few more players and the above is a start.

Couldn't be f@gged thinking about it.  No point.  Hardwick has shown his hand as a protector of favourites and has no intention of developing the side with the future in mind.  I know what should happen but that matches exactly what won't happen.
