Richmond Milestones
Shane Edwards Plays his 150th
Jake Batchellor Plays his 50th
Lenny Hayes ( 2015 assistant coach ) plays his last game in Melbourne
Key Players :
Richmond.
Cotchin - His game has returned to 2012 proportions with the inclusions of Miles. Can play inside /outside and is extremely dangerous around goal, the speed in which he can dispose of the ball once received is the quickest in the comp.
Miles - Hard at it mid who is improving his outside game every week , hunts the footy and is equally as good defensively. GUN
Deledio - Lids is a exceptional talent who is flourishing in getting the oppositions 3rd and at times 4th best defensive player. Playing high half , outside mid with outstanding run and carry attributes
Martin - The troubled teen has become a mature beast in 12 months, is able rag doll the biggest of defenders whilst also has a amazing ability to kick long goals off one step.
St Kilda
Stevens - Has lightening speed and can break the game open an who excels under little to no attention or on the outside.
Armitage - St Kilda's in and under clearance player who doesn't have a lot of flair however is very good in the clearances.
Reiwoldt - Has struggled as the season has worn on, has carried the side for way to long and is a glimpse of his former self.
Changes :
Richmond :
Out :Lennon
In : Jackson or Conca
St Kilda :
Don't Care
IN NUT SHELL -
The Tigers should destroy them , Jack should have a day out , whilst Martin, Cotchin, Lids, Miles should dominate through the middle and half forward. St Kilda give you a reminder every now and then of the side they use to be with Lenny and cry baby Nick turning back the clock. Armitage is on show and will be looking to put in a good impression for a possible swing to Punt Road next season.
SMOKIES -
Ben Griffiths has been continually showing improvement his ability in big games at big moments of games has me getting very excited that this kid isn't far off turning the corner and dominating the competition. Likewise the Saints have a similar tall forward in Stanley who has the ability to get it all together at times and may stretch our defence, Chaplin , a little shall Rance go to Nicky baby.
