Hey Infamy,
Were you at the Swan's chairman's club yesterday? Your suggested ins match the opinions of a few of the Richmond Board membersand a couple of the senior staff.
No, just my opinion from watching the Coburg game and assessing our needs for the game against Brisbane.
Pay no attention to TigerTime, he needs his eyes tested, Simmonds was everywhere for Coburg and has now had two good games in a row for them.
Schulz doesn't deserve a call up based on his game, his timing is terrible, he would have been a walk up start given his previous two games for Coburg, but when we lose he also puts in a shocker. We need a key forward to replace Richo and Simmonds is pretty handy there as long as he can hold on to his marks which has been his problem this year. I didn't see him drop any against Casey so I think he should get another go. I think Gus & Patto should be able to handle the ruck duties by themselves against a pretty weak ruck division, which will be good for their development.
Cousins was a standout in a crap game, he got a lot of cheap disposals as all his team mates kept giving him the ball no matter what, but he played well.
The outs are pretty obvious, Richo is injured and Morton & McMahon were crap against Sydney. I'd suggest Morton to be dropped so Cousins can play a HFF role rather than a small defensive role.
