3 forced changes with Prestia (hammy, Gibcus (ACL) and Young (concussion).
Fire away with your changes?
-
It dosent matter. The umpires will stuff us over again and we’ll lose anyway.
-
Don’t see the point in persisting with Prestia.
Some hard changes. Would like to make a few others but it will probably
Be restricted to these 3 forced ones.
I think sonesie can play now ?
Sonesie for Prestia
Brown for gibcus
Miller for young… I suppose. Has Miller even be playing backline ?
Really don’t want balta to play back, he was so much more dynamic tonight.
Our backline is f’ed basically.
-
Miller
Koschitzke
McAuliffe
In
-
I heard Miller was really good in the 2s today . Hopefully that wasn’t sarcasm 😂
-
Sorry but M Rioli cannot be played in this team. 4 possessions and his opponents ran off him all night. Not fit enough still. Play Clarke.
-
Miller
Kossie
McAuliffe
Clarke
Out 3 injured blokes and Mansell.
-
Why Mansell, for the missed goal? He had plenty of positive plays tonight as mentioned by duckwood in the commentators box.
-
Out
Gibcus
Young
Prestia
Mansell
Dow
In
Kosi
Brown
McAuliffe
Cumberland
Clarke sub
At least MRJ laid 5 tackles playing F50 mostly.
Dow 0 tackles lol
-
Agree, take out the goal brain fade, Mansell was a solid contributor in that negative small forward role. People love to hate him.

Bring in the Kiwi

Did you say Cumberland :lol

Went off hurt today and didn't come back on... :-\
-
Kosi was drafted by Hawthorn as a KPD and was so abysmal they moved him forward...so forget that idea - for now at least...Miller & Brown should come in...Mcauliffe for Prestia....Clarke & Coulthard to the wings for Heckle & Jeckle.... :shh

So we are playing two purely negative small fwds then. No wonder we cannot kick big scores.
Mansell was ordinary and mrj hardly touched the ball at least one of them needs to go.
My changes would go
Miller - Gibcus
Kosi - Young
McAuliffe - Prestia.
So far all like for like replacements.
Clarke - Mansell. Clarke just played a blinder and is an actual fwd.
Brown - McIntosh. enough of the fumbles and mistakes please. Rioli to wing and Brown to hb.
People are going to defend MRJ because he actually laid some tackles for once, but he had just 4 touches, you could count on your fingers the number of times he has touched the ball in two games he gives very little offensively.
Nathan Broad is another who has done stuff all in two games along with Grimes.

McIntosh must be dropped also

Ill start early and despite being brave if we had won, it would have just papered over the cracks.
Have a look people our depth will kill us no matter what.
Okay my team for next week and of course im looking at the future and players who have a chance of making it while addressing serious needs and injury.

You don't need to list the player's heights & weights every single time you name your team.... :shh
-

No i don't mind there is a reason. :whistle
-
Our main problems atm are lack of pace, skills and poor tackling - listing their sprint times, DE% & avg tackles would be more relevant.... :shh
-
If pace is a problem for us then it’s a huge problem for Blues.
Tackling and general pressure on the ball carrier is the big deficiency that needs fixing.
It looks a little better this year and was a heap better Thursday vs round zero however Carlton walked the ball through the midfield far too easily and their forwards had way too much space when ball was locked in there. Some of our ball watching is u11’s standard
-
INS: Miller, Brown, McAuliffe, Banks
OUTS: Gibcus, Young, Prestia, Pickett
McIntosh must be dropped also
Based on the Coach's presser I don't think either will be dropped but IMV if one was going to be dropped I'd go Pickett because of his huge momentum killers in the last qtr and because he doesn't cover the kms that Kmac does and we need.

I thought broad was ok. Flew for everything and put his body on the line when we were outsized for height
-

You don't say ::). Have that covered with my ins. Besides the most pressing need we now have is finding not one but two kpd's for next week.
And yes i do need to list players weights and sizes. Its pretty obvious why.:shh

You also don't need to reply to same post twice..... :shh :shh

Tall Tiger Ben Miller's time could be now after defender's ACL heartbreak
By Sarah Black
afl.com.au
18 March 2024
AFTER playing 25 games over seven years, the door may now be open for Ben Miller to firmly and finally establish himself in Richmond's best side, following Josh Gibcus' ACL rupture.
Miller, 24, was selected with pick No.63 in the 2017 AFL Draft, a mixed draft haul that landed Richmond Noah Balta, Jack Higgins (St Kilda), Callum Coleman-Jones (North Melbourne) and Pat Naish (delisted, via West Coast).
Liam Baker also joined the club via the Rookie Draft at the same time.
While Baker and Balta have cemented themselves as fan favourites and among the first picked every week, Miller has spent the vast majority of his seven-year career in the VFL.
He made his debut in the final round of 2021, adding 24 games over the next two years.
Miller has been called upon in every conceivable situation – cover for ruck Toby Nankervis, filling in for Tom Lynch in attack, and slotting into the backline when Dylan Grimes or Balta have been unavailable, but would end up back in the twos when the more senior player returned.
The automatic assumption is that coach Adem Yze will immediately return Balta to the backline, but in the absence of cloning technology, the Tigers arguably have a greater need to keep him in attack, with other forward options being dropped duo Jacob Koschitzke and Samson Ryan.
"[Balta has] produced two really strong games, and for him, it's around consistency – he's got a goal around being really consistent. I'm really buoyed about what he's doing as a ruck and a power forward, so if we have to cover the other end, I'll be leaning towards bringing in another key defender, and not throwing him back just yet," Yze said.
"Just based on the fact we've only seen [Balta and Lynch play together] once, and in the first half it looked really potent.
"I think Ben Rutten (backline coach) might want him down back to cover for 'Youngy' (Tylar Young) or for 'Gibbo', but I'm really enjoying what I'm seeing from Noah and 'Lynchy'. It's only been a small sample size, but I hope we can keep going with it."
Tylar Young will miss at least this week's match against Port Adelaide due to concussion, meaning the Tigers will need to bring in another defender alongside Miller.
While there's no real other key defensive option, Koschitzke has spent some time in the backline during his time at Hawthorn.
Mid-sized defensive options include Tom Brown and James Trezise, with Nathan Broad and Nick Vlastuin capable of switching to a lockdown role, allowing one of the younger pair to provide rebound.

Miller will wanna pull his finger out and show some aggression. Moves so well for a bloke his size but it’s like he doesn’t realise he’s much bigger than most players. Crack in mate
-
Dixon will kick 10 on Miller

He should feel embarrassed that Young has leap frogged him . He’s been on the list as long as Balta . It’s now or never for Miller .
Apparently he played really well last week- so that’s encouraging.
-
Dixon will kick 10 on Miller
I’ll have a piece of that$100 he doesnt
-
There were glimpses of Miller I really liked last year. Mainly his dare with ball in hand and he kicked a goal or two from memory
-
Dixon will kick 10 on Miller
I think his best is 7

Don't think we have a choice. Balta to the backline along with Miller.
Trezise to HB and lets see what Broad and Short can offer on the wings.
How about Naismith to ruck and Toby to the fwd pocket.
Clarke Campbell and Cumberland to the fwd line. On the fwd half, we got Koschitzke to play there play him. Its not ideal form wise atm i know.
Worst case scenario is if Kosi flops we sub him out and play Lefau from sub.
McAuliffe instead of any of Dow, Ross and of course Prestia.
Make Lefau the sub
Team
Vlastuin - Miller - Grimes
Trezise - Balta - Rioli
Broad - Taranto - Short/Banks. Its a good role for Short its also a spot we need to get games into kids like banks.
Naismith - Martin - Bolton. Think Sam a better option against Soldo.
Clarke - Koschitzke/Lefau - Campbell
Nankervis - Lynch - Cumberland
Hopper - McAuliffe - Baker - Brown.
Lefau
The only trouble it would require about 9 changes id be happy to see them all except for the Koschitzke one which i think is forced upon us.

Claw, no Bauer or not a consideration??

Bauer's injured or hasn't been playing for some reason...club's being extremely vague as usual..... :shh

He was injured in January, early Feb. Hammy IIRC but that's over a month ago now.
So who knows what's going on
