It’s the current vogue to pot Cam Green

We have other problems

1- Usman Goodes needs to be replaced
2- Jake Weatherald makes Green look like peak Bradman .. Weatherald simply isn’t up to it

Cam Green deserves all the criticism he is gettimg. He keeps getting chance after chance

Om your other 2

This is Usman's last test so he is getting replaced. Big question is what will our inept selectors do

As for Weatherald, have said to multiple people, he not up to it. Terrible technique for test cricket

Yes .. the world knows it’s Adam Khawaja’s last test

Hence problem one is replacing him

He’s made sure everyone from Australia to the Middle East knows he’s hanging them up

Richmond - Pass mark: Win 4 games

The Tigers surprised all with five victories in 2025 as they tick off season one of their rebuild.

But any project is set to plateau, and although Adem Yze has other ideas, it wouldn't be a shock to see Richmond dip in the amount of wins.

However, what should be a focus is minimising the damage on losses, or bridging the gap of those clubs who sit higher than them on the ladder.

Richmond's main objective is to develop two draft classes' worth of extreme talent, and get them up to AFL speed.

The players at your AFL team who are set to miss the start of the 2026 season

RICHMOND

Richmond youngster Judson Clarke was unfortunately sidelined by an ACL for the second time in as many years when he went down in the VFL in July. That injury places him out of action for the start of another season, with his last AFL game coming in Round 2 of the 2024 season. Second-year tall Thomas Sims is no certainty for Round 1 due to a foot concern, while Josh Smillie (quad) is working his way back from surgery and is unlikely to be seen until February.

Marnus also deserves some criticism for chasing a wide one outside off stump with only a couple of overs left in the day. Threw away his wicket.

Aussies  2/166 ..... Head 91*, Neser 1*, Labushagne 48, Weatherald 21.

At some point there’s going to be a side that rapidly drops down the ladder and ends up below us, norf and the eagles. It might not be this year but honestly would not surprise if either the Dees or Port get the spoon this year

I tend to agree with this

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the Dees tumble further

I've not seen much of this match due to work and other things I preferred to be doing yesterday.

Is the wicket flat or are we just playing like it's a dead rubber?
