Two things that couldn't be clearer heading into round 1

[🏅Dooks]

1. The Richmond of old is very much not dead. Lack of onfield leadership, poor efforts, no tackling and spraying kicks. And no moves from the coaches box!.We could be in for a long year if the first quarter is of today's game is any indication.

2. The fab 4 Houli, B Ellis, Hunt and Conca are absolute liabilities by foot. Turnover kings. The less these guys play the more precise and damaging our kicking will be and the less goals we will leak.

[Lozza]

1. Don't play Houli
2. Don't play BEllis

[tony_montana]

We wouldn't miss anything if all 4 never played. How can we possibly think we are finals material when you have those 4 as locks in the side plus Griffiths, Batchelor, grigg. Way to many average players

1. Don't play Houli
2. Don't play BEllis

Bit harsh
50 possessions between them

True but a lot of those possessions were not to our advantage. They always seem to make poor choices when going forward.

[The Machine]

Conca was very good and that was the best game Ellis has played for a long time.
Houli and Hunt can't be played in the same team ever! Houli is a momentum killer with his decision making

Just get frustrated with the constant turnovers from both of them and the BEllis kicks that go 20 metres in distance but 50 metres in the air, gives our guys no advantage whatsoever.

[Chopstix]

We must play Short, Kmac and Markov before Hunt. Then work out who we can fit in the team from Houli, Conca, Grigg and B Ellis.

We lacked run and dare and speed off half back against the Magpies today.

It was back to worrying signs from familiar faces today.

Why is it we can see this but Dimma cannot?

Ah no
Couldn't possibly play Short or Markov on what I saw last night

Of stuffing course you'd chime in with that

Short should come in for him. Played that role last year much better than Houli. Additionally, Rublabla and others have claimed he played a very good game last night. Not sure what you base his poor game on but I don't really care if you based Ellis' and Houli's game on their number of touches

Short played on a top up VFL player last night
No 88 by memory
Only players that would be considered from last nights game are Lennon and McIntosh
