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.

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

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?

I don't think we'll get the spoon.
Probably 3-4 wins at least, likely 4-6.

Bottom 4 finish.

Another top 5 draft pick drifting out to 10 with some academy and free agency BS etc
