Day game so Balta will be able to play.

Who is gunna run with me? out with the regular failures and old hacks in with the kids.

Who cares this year if we cop our share of beltings. We cop gutless performances like tonight from senior players anyway.

Whatever Andyy says
"The money might have been better. But, at the end of the day, Richmond showed faith in me. It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”

Might be time to have a look at Alger and Smillie at Rioli and Greene’s expense
Balta in for Gray
Brown has to start

Sonsie (14 possessions) apparently lost interest in the VFL game when Colina allegedly tried to kick the ball and missed his foot.
The club that keeps giving.

I don’t think anyone is knocking the door down at VFL level at the moment.

I tortured myself and watched 3/4 of the game against Casey - yikes .

You can’t reward Sonsie or Kane Mac .

Smilie needs to earn selection in the AFL .

Did I see Lynch now has a foot issue? 
Something flashed up on the news but I missed it.

Here's the Ch 7 report.

It's the other foot than the one that kept him out last year.

Lynch thinks he is 95% out of the woods  :pray.

As bad as we were last night and plenty had shockers, I don't see us making too many unforced changes. We're going to be up and down all year. I think Yze will back a lift in effort instead.

In: Balta

Out: Gray (unlucky)


ps. I think we'll debut Smillie against the Eagles the week after.

Tend to agree with MT, can't see there being many changes

INS: Balta, McAuliffe (need another mid)

OUTS: Gray (unlucky), Green

Tom Lynch is good to go. Recovered well over the weekend after a foot scan as a result of being stomped on. Noah Balta will train and play against the Hawks. Probably replaces Campbell Grey, who was impressive on debut with three intercept marks.

What I would like to see vs what will happen

In: Balta, Smillie (should debut at the G)
Out: Miller, Short

Vs

In balta
Out grey

For what it’s worth I’d also look at dropping Ross for kmac2. He’s been really poor since rd 1 imo.

Would like to see if they can give Grey another game
