Foot to the throat this qtr,

Garcia with a cheeky 37 disposal, 10 clearance game.

Just get him in next weekend

 

[Lee]

That looked like nasty shoulder dislocation for that tigers player

Colina has some shocking injury luck

 

[Foxman98]

Good in theory but none of the stats named are useful for the position he’ll have to play

Club needs to play him more forward in the VFL like they did with Westy if he’s going to make it with us

 

[Doggy]

So Harmes didn't play and looks like we lost Sellwood and Kennedy through injury. Bugger.

 

[Testekill]

I'd say that Smith handily won the ruck battle in the end. Granted it seems like most Richmond fans do not rate either of their VFL ruckmen so I dunno how much that means

Harmes listed as an emergency for seniors so probably just don't want him to play in case of a late change.

Sanders is a late out for Harmes

Liam Jones didn't play ether so he might be injured too, or unwell.

Sanders is a late out for Harmes

Hopefully he gets up next week

Any word on what's up with Sanders?

Looks like sick

 

[lachy]

Just get him in next weekend

For who???

Would sooner he played 50% mid 50% forward in the VFL and got 15 less disposals and 5 to 10 score involvements. Then there is a clear role in the AFL

A lot of players getting sick. Heeney was shocked his opponent told him he was crook at the first bounce yesterday.

Even in the forward line he wins more ball, applies more pressure, and probably even a bigger goal sneak than McNeil

Mcniel over Garcia is a travesty. Straight swap, adds to our midfield rotation and brings an extra campaigner to our team. I’m confident he would outmatch Mcniels output pretty quickly, and bring the benefit of his ability to go into the middle. I do not have confidence with ball in Mcniels hand anywhere outside the 50.

All hypothetical. Needs the opportunity like West to develop there

I’d argue we’ve seen enough evidence of it at AFL level in the past. His body is the only thing stopping him

What evidence . You can argue what you want doesn’t make it a fact. Has never been given the opportunity at rhe lower level to develop as a small forward as Westy was and that is likely the role he COULD take at the AFL level.

Hope he does get that opportunity

Mate who pissed in your cornflakes this morning?

He’s played exclusively as a small forward at AFL level and went at 16 touches and 4 tackles as a pressure forward across 12 games last year.

It’s a decent sample size

How many goals or goal involvements, you know what a small forward is there for

5 goals in total 26 clangers and 10 1%s hardly compelling
