lol so our tall stocks are decimated after just one injury to an ordinary senior player and a rookie listed player. The situation  is laughable but if we lose injury will probably be trotted out as an excuse.

It is criminal that out tall situation is as bad as it is.The only club who has probably been more negligent when it comes to balanced recruiting is Fremantle like us they knew for yrs on end the tall stocks are thin in numbers and quality and did little about it only when things have become dire have they done a thing.
Thing is they are copping it in the media over their recruiting us we continue to get excuses.

Actually two injuries
Griff and Hammer 😉

Hamspud being injured actually improves our tall stocks.

Moore should mainly be played in defence - unless we think we really need our own version of John Butcher.....
He needs to improve his kicking for goals as he has great hands and is a natural forward imo.
George has improved his kicking so I'm hoping Moore can too. I think he will be a very good player for us. Just play the kid.

If Soldo plays ,we need him to compete so the ball comes to ground. Quite a few fine marks play for WC and once on the ground it should give the rovers a chance.

Richmond has until 2pm on Thursday to upgrade a rookie to replace Griffiths, with Mabior Chol and Ivan Soldo in the mix to be elevated.

Well I guess it's going to be Maric or maybe Elton.

Yeah the club generally doesn't like to upgrade more than one rookie in the first half of the year, even when there's spots.

Glad someone in the media's finally remembered they're still on the rookie list before declaring them available.

Fair dinkum modern football "journalism" is stuffing lazy & useless...remember two weeks ago when nearly everyone in the media kept referring to Castagna as a "first gamer"?
