Richmond Rant / Re: Best 23 in 2026?
« Last post by the claw on November 23, 2025, 06:53:24 PM »Three tall defenders is likely the go, but which three?
If Balta shows nothing preseason we could go with Miller, Gibcus and Trainor. If Balta is a lock then it is going to be Miller, Balta, and one of Trainor, Gibcus.
Do we slide Broad out of defense reckon both Trainor and Brown can play his role. Do we go with more pace and rebound by playing Grlj and one of Banks or Smith if he takes a leap. Trezise is a hb imo is there now a place for him or Short for that matter?
Pure mids do we play all of McAuliffe, Lalor, Smillie, Cumming, Hotton meaning Only two of Hopper Taranto Prestia Ross Sonsie get a game.
Do we play Algar and Peucker in front of Green, Rioli Mansell Because Hotton will spend time here in rotations.
Do we dump HRS and Trezise from the wings and look to find some decent wingers for me Campbell and Retschko.
Do we play three tall forwards if yes it must be at lest two of the younger forwards with Lynch guiding them. Do we Play Sims as the ruck fwd ? giving Nankervis a chop out instead of say Armstrong ?
We are in a good place questions are going to be asked.
For me it should now be full on kids with just enough experience to guide them.
Every position should be an open book with a priority on games into kids.

. Agree TK that Marnus played the team game at the other end holding up an end while Head was going nuts. 
. Only the Poms could go from being on top in a test match to losing two sessions later in under two days
