Richmond's lack of speed is a real concern: Lloyd (Nine)
« on: June 28, 2020, 01:25:49 PM »
"Their lack of speed is a real concern."

@matthewlloyd18 is worried about Richmond's lack of pace, and has highlighted some examples from yesterday's match of how it is being exposed by opposition sides.

...and it's not like we have a dearth of quick players on our list either...problem is that apart from Bolton, they're either woefully out of form(Rioli/Castagna/Stack), still young/raw/inconsistent/not ready/injured(Balta/RCD/Ralphsmith/Biggie/Cumberland) or not that good (Markov/Miller)  :shh

People who want to play two rucks seem to want us to be even slower.

brad hill is a bloody good and quick player though. he would burn off a lot of other players. caddy was the wrong match up thats all.

Balta can do the job and he's quick AF.

I’d be happy to play Balta or Chol alongside Nank.

I wouldn’t say they are the genuine ruckmen that some are calling for though.
