Review Who is Richmond's 2nd most important player? Poll.

[juss]

Depth is a key component to this question being answered, If either Lynch or Nank get injured this Friday we're in serious trouble R1.

Correct, big factor.

Grimes as good as he is, if he missed a month Im still more than comfortable going in with Balta, Astbury, Vlastuin, Broad, Short and Baker as the back 6 and back them in.

Lynch and Nank? Nothing good comes if they miss. They are 2 and 3 for mine if we assume the OP's premise.

I actually think chol would do ok as the ruck.

Ryan now an option. Culina and Soldo available sometime too.

CCJ suspension over soon.

Then you have the long shots like biggie. Miller who maybe can make a contest and then show something around the ground?

Ruck seems reasonable to me. List management seemed to do a decent job reinforcing it off season

A lot of our ball movement revolves around Shane Edwards

In order of importance to the team:

Dusty - obvs
Cotch - sets the tone
Lynch - hardest match up
Grimes - the General of the defence
Jack (R that is) - just a constant headache for ops
Shedda - so creative
Short - defence becomes attack
Prestia - all class
Astbury - takes the gorillas and shuts them down
Houli & Baker - defensive running power
Balta - see Astbury
Vlaus - critical intercept player
Nank - tough xtra midfielder and drop back marks
Rioli & Castagna - successful forward pressure
Shai - further injection of class
Broad - defensive balance/shut down jobs
Macca and Marlion - forward drive/defensive cover
Lambo & Graham - pressure mid/fwds

This is a bloody good team with most if not all bases covered.

Very good effort.

Maybe vlastuin a little stiff.

Even bolton given the best and fairest results

 

[Vassp]

Hard to pick but If I could only pick one I'd say Edwards, the most underrated player, We always play better when he is in the team, when he came back during the 2020 season we started to win more games.

Edit
For 2021 and beyond id say Bolton.

 

[damicky]

If Grimes goes down you still have balta. Astbury. Broad. Vlastuin.

If lynch is unavailable ???

Marbs

 

[prodigy1311]

as displayed in 2020 Jack is struggling to play the sole fwd role.
Therefore, lynch is key to our success....

Grimes - by the length of the Terang straight.
My non-Richmond footy mates all sing his praises and respect him.
Would have been Riewoldt two years ago and beyond.

What do your mates reckon about lunch

What do your mates reckon about lunch

Do you really want to know?

 

[Marcel Proust]

Do you really want to know?

Yes pls

 

[Wooden Robot]

Probably a pack of flogs anyways

Which is what they's say about Lynch.
Supremely talented and an obvious key, but a bit of a flog in the Matthew Lloyd mold.
The others they rate very highly are Vlastuin, Bolton, Nankervis and plenty of love for Houli.
Many view Richmond - outside of Dusty - as greater than the sum of its parts.

I was wondering more a football analysis not so much a character summary.

Feel free to ask them when they get the thumps out of the ass.

Supremely talented is a nice start.

 

[Daka]

After Martin, I'd say our next most important players would be the key position Lynch, Grimes, Balta, Astbury.

Edwards clearence God.

Thanks to overhype helped us win granny and prelim. Bless him

 

[telsor]

The protocol is the next most important player after Dusty, who would be second picked after Dusty.
My top picks would be Grimes, Lynch, Riewoldt, Edwards , Cotchin and Short at the moment but I haven't thought about it for long.

I dispute your initial assumption.

Cotchin is the most important. We have a very 'team first' game plan, and his leadership clearly inspires the players to follow it.

 

[DrMike]

When I think of players that have turned finals games for us it goes:
1. Dusty
2. Cotchin

But our other players are bloody important and it's great that there's so many players that could be number 2. Very good team spread with a lot of contingencies in case one of our core players do become unavailable.

Lunch kicked 5 in a 3 goal win 19 prelim

 

[Meteoric Rise]

Right now our second most important player is clearly the mystery blonde left footer who was running around in number 26 in the reserves practice match. Followed closely by our brand spanking Rioli.

I've said it before, I'll say it again.
What a time to be alive

Thread title needs to be changed too:Who is Richmond's 3rd most important player behind Dusty & MJR?
