Autopsy Roast & Toast vs GWS and Changes for R3 vs St Kilda

[Noidnadroj]

Sorry you beat me to HRS as i edited post before you got a handle on my post. He's one of my favourites. Dow meh meh.

Tigers under 26’s is pretty solid in depth and quality…. with a couple with traits to become elite:

Too early: Sonsie, Clarke, Brown, Ryan, Cumberland, Colina, Banks, Nyuon

Need more games but looking average: RCD, Ross, M Rioli, Martyn

Need more games but looking positive: Gibcus, Dow, Mansell, Ralphsmith, Miller

C-D grade: aarts, Castagna

B to B+: Baker, Short, Rioli, Soldo, Stack, Graham

A to A+: Balta, Bolton

IMO Sonsie and Brown look the goods but cannot rate them before playing a game. I’ve seen enough of Gibcus to say he’s gonna be a star. Already doing a great defensive job as a KPD in his second game. That intercept mark he took was a glimpse of the future.

Another 3 x top-30 picks this draft (maybe 4 if we lose Short to FA or trade out a Rioli or similar type).

It’s an excellent core of sub-26yo given the dynasty period we’ve just seen…. I can’t imagine it’s possible to be any better given the lack of draft picks, losing young depth players and bulging salary cap.

Dimma looked very emotional after that win.

 

[The Mighty]

He kept asking Hardwick questions about Martin even though he didn't want to talk about it anymore

So Robbo is still a Campaigner.

 

[_RT_]

He just received 3 x coaches votes and was instrumental in our victory as part of a decimated midfield. Cotchin is more than good enough to be part of a 6-7 man midfield rotation. Sure, he used to be 1-2 and now he’s 5-6, but he’s still in there.

Again I'm not calling for him to be our number 1 midfielder or even in our top 5 every week. It's about the way he plays and the impact he has in the games. I don't care if he is only getting 12-15 disposals if he is hunting the man and attacking the contest every time we need him to go. That's not disrespecting Trent, that's holding him to account, the same way we hold every other player who runs out on game day to account. Unfortunately a lot of people seem happy to have different levels of accountability depending on the player they're discussing.

Yep nothing has changed

For the position he plays. Short is 100% A grade footballer.

Got 3 already with him in.

Cotch is still top 1-2. That’s why he always starts in the middle.

Just papering over the cracks, unfortunately. Richmond will never ever win a premiership with a spud like Castagna in the side.

Hang on

 

[Madtiger2006]

Great win. Should have played Dow and Dawkins last week. Ross was good again. No he didn’t have 20 turnovers but I’m sure he did for some I’m here. Probably had none though. Balta, Gibcus, Miller, Ralphsmith. Bring in the kids.

 

[Wooden Robot]

Nah George for all his faults did ok Aarts should not be in our 22 or 23 or 24 or 25

32, Sunshine ... he's not in the ballpark

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

Could not have said it better myself!
At half time, I thought I would read some of the game day thread, expecting plenty of positives, but no.....one comment called Trent Cotchin a faux tough guy.... woefully embarrassing comment to say the least. Our greatest ever captain since Dyer and one of the toughest and courageous players to play the game.
I don't know how some people call themselves supporters to be honest.... beggars belief!

You’d hope not , but you couldn’t rule out that there are richmond supporters with alt accounts supporting another club and trolling that board .

No s***, that’s the joke

 

[Hounddd]

I'd rather Ross made way for Prestia, if Dow is ok.

Dow really impressed me in the clinches. He has super slick hands and his break away speed really surprised me.

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

I like Leon Cameron…loved him as a tiger…very classy
love that he has Craig Lambert as assistant there
whenever he talks about us, he always talks positively about the RFC

I liked him as a Tiger player as well but i would love him as an assistant coach more if he can persuade Green , Callaghan & Stone to come to Richmond

Hardwick is on 360 now

Seems pretty relaxed season 22

 

[k31th]

Since people were asking for it

 

[MR]

Makes you think what if we chucked him forward...

 

[Marcel Proust]

Lynch. Balta. Gibcus fwd long term ..

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Thanks for the info.
Will watch on replay.

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Indigenous players like Pickett and Parker are worth their weight in gold, they break through lines.
Matt's best game for us so far.

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Less is more in terms of selection.
Prestia in, Dow out (inj) or Ross.

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Our second quarter was the best for the year so far.
12 inside 50s for 6 goals.
The average rate for conversion from inside 50s to goal is only 25 per cent.
Normally, a team that scores 6-7 goals in one quarter normally wins, in this era of low-scoring results.

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

I was actually thinking the same thing in the last quarter of the GWS game

If Jack is not back this week and Grimes comes back i wouldnt mind seeing Lynch/Gibcus/Balta 3 tall foward line
