That was Maurice Rioli the Richmond player. He was a late withdrawal in the warm up.

I'm not!
But can definitely see this happening.
Burton CAN play on smalls for a time there he was absolutely brilliant against the best.
Then Ken moved him forward for some reason and he never seemed to recover.
Whatever Ken told him he needed to work on to regain his spot in defence failed spectacularly.

I don't think we're defending badly when the ball hits the ground. We are conceding on the 'slingshot' when teams cut through the midfield wall and then run in to an open goal.
When our defense is actually set, I don't recall conceding too many "crumbed" goals.
Either we will fix it by not going too aggressive on the "wall", or we accept it and think the wall gives us more than it costs us. Which is all well and good against lower level teams, but will it stack up against Sydney, or other teams that move the ball fast and with purpose?
He looks to have bulked up a fair bit, which is affecting his agility and stamina.
Look at his body size from 2 seasons ago to now.
Was only talking about that with a friend the other day. Burton's overweight. Williams looks to have put weight on as well.
If we learnt anything about last year's finals, it should be Bergman not Burton taking the best opposition smalls

If we learnt anything about last year's finals it should be to Sack Hinkley.
Chad basically confirmed that McEntee will be in
Yes we really missed that one possession to 3/4 time and perceived forward pressure.

I am so very comfortable with my decision not to be a member this year.

Our goalkicking will be better this week 
Chad Cornes on the work being put into goal kicking to improve the side’s accuracy:
“Just so all the supporters out there know, and understand the goal kicking program, it's probably been the biggest focus for us in the offseason. We couldn't have done more work on it. We've spoken to experts in the field, we've implemented a really strong program, which we believe works really well. There's obviously been some ups and downs in the first couple of games, but I think the positive on the weekend was in the second half to kick I think it was 13 goals five, from where we were at halftime shows the boys went back to the process stuck to the process for the majority of that second half and we got good results. There'll be some teething issues with this new program, as there always is when you implement something new, but the coaches and players fully believe in this program so supporters just stick with us…”

We didn't miss it because Evans had 2 possessionless quarters as a replacement
Burgoyne OUT is my guess. Hes gotta find a way to get more power in his kicking
Yea I'm not sure why people are so into keeping this guy in over McEntee, it's a spud yoyo but one has more legspeed and offers more off the ball.

Evans is capable of kicking 4 goals in a game. McEntee hasn't kicked 4 goals in his last twelve games combined.
They both suck but one definitely sucks less.
Our ability to defend transition needs to be cleaned up if we are to be a serious premiership threat.
The other area of our game is our lack of movement and presenting leads when we are taking a kick out. We seem to have abandoned the long bomb to the corner of the centre square. I think this is a better strategy but when we seem to be at our worst is when the player kicking out has no options. Our players need to work harder to present leads.
We are taking more marks this year than last, we still play fast and direct but seem to want to play less chaos style surging the ball forward from contest.
Good thing to see was our forwards playing in front. My pet hate is watching our forwards trying to get cheapies out the back instead of leading at the ball carrier.

Evans will never kick 4 goals again in his life.
