Ok with that

Thought you said that Ivan would be our saviour, not verbatim of course. :snidegrin

Would rather Hampson dropped

But very pleased to see they've dropped Astbury

Bought back short and not dropped Castagna

Maric?? Didn't you say he would be the difference.. :snidegrin
DIMMA - You will be held ACCOUNTABLE...

“We are really excited about what we have brought in. We have got great depth of players that can take us where we need to go. We are just putting some cream on the top at the moment,” he said.

At least it looks like DH has picked a couple of guys that can play on Hawthorns 3 very good smalls.
Castagna, Morris and Short are all super quick and at least it seems like Dimma has thought about it.
I hope they throw Vlastuin into the midfield even if just for short stints now that Cotch is out.
Let him have a crack in the middle.

Can't be too bad if it wins (which I highly doubt).

Agree with you about Castagna not being dropped. Disagree that Astbury should have been dropped. I accept Astbury did not play a good game against Port but how earth did Chaplin keep his place.

Do you notice Astbury doesn't really spoil that much, he just runs into the back of his opponent.  :lol
He hasent been our worst but we need to upgrade him at some stage.

Astbury mixes good with bad.

He can take a good saving mark but often lets his opponent off the leash too easily. He also doesn't rebound well as he makes poor choices coming out of the back line.

Not exactly a fearsome hawks team...

So what does that make this Richmond team?
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.
