Hard to see him cracking a game unless we are decimated with injuries. We have so many small/ medium forward options and have guys like egg, naish next in line off hb
sante
Emu
I assume Naish played wing for the B team?

What the competition for spots continues to do also is push our players to be the best they possibly can be. The coaches don't need to put pressure on them, they will do it themselves and they know they will be supported by everyone to succeed if they do all the right things. The evidence of this is the VFL side. If we continue to see our depth players, playing out of their skin, then it points to a hunger and motivation for every player on our list to succeed - not just those on the cusp of selection. Creating an environment where everyone feels they are a chance to make the AFL side and be part of every win, at AFL or VFL level, is a definite challenge but one the club seems to have engineered up to this point.
No wonder we are the envy of every other club at the moment. A star studded AFL team, incredible depth, amazing administration, record financial success and a supportive culture of positivity - who wouldn't want to be us!? Exciting times

Tiger hopefuls show the hunger to break into Richmond team
By Michael Gleeson
Some of the most eye-catching players in Richmond’s first intra-club match of the year didn’t play in last year's premiership.
Desperate to break into the reigning premiership side, Sydney Stack, Noah Balta, Jack Higgins, Riley Collier-Dawkins and Mabior Chol were the ones who worked harder and did more to present themselves than most.
The surfeit of Richmond small forwards has the pressure elevated for places in the team. Stack, who could play anywhere on the ground, was clean and clever, and Daniel Rioli took the best mark of the day.
Balta shifted to defence late last season and has trained there over the summer. He was as impressive as anyone on the field.
But it was Shai Bolton who caught the eye more than any other player on Punt Road Oval on Thursday morning. That is, any player other than Dustin Martin, who always demands the ball and your attention.
Bolton was electric in the first half. He kicked the first goal in the opening 30 seconds of the match that pitted the nominal best Richmond 22 against the hopefuls. Bolton was in the best 22. He will stay there.
“The guys who didn’t play in the grand final, a lot of them played really well. Noah was one who is looking for an opportunity, he played in our best defence today and was one of our best players,” assistant coach Justin Leppitsch said.
“Consistent players like Jack Ross, Riley Collier-Dawkins, Sydney Stack, they all played really well and Shai Bolton was exceptional as well.
“It’s a real challenge for us how you fit them in, how many mids, how many forwards. It is going to be difficult for us at the moment.”
Collier-Dawkins, playing on the ball or out on a wing, will force his way into the team.
Marlion Pickett’s stunning debut in the grand final appears only to have intensified his motivation. He has returned fitter and leaner – not that there was a lot of him last year – but he is sharp.
“Yeah, he is leaner,” Leppitsch said. “It’s his first AFL pre-season. Even at 27 years of age the improvement you can get just by being in an AFL system … he does look good, he looks sharp, still blind-turning everyone which was good to see.”
Toby Nankervis coming back from injury played in the B team for a quarter then ran laps. He is very good when out there but it still leaves the most vexing of selection questions unanswered - who plays in the ruck?
Ivan Soldo started up forward but was good when moved into the ruck, Chol was excellent around the ground. And Callum Coleman-Jones did some good things.
"We still talk about it every day, who is our best ruckman and best ruck combination?" Leppitsch said. "It's going to be a real challenge."
Bachar Houli sat out the last quarter after being heavily brought to ground in the third quarter and got up winded and rubbing his shoulder.

Richmond has seven players who missed the Grand Final pushing for Round 1 selection
When the heat was on, the Tigers were far and away the best side of 2019. But in scary news for the rest of the league, the competition for spots at Punt Road is about to get hotter.
Sam Landsberger
Damien Hardwick overlooking reigning best-and-fairest Dion Prestia in Victoria’s line-up for the State of Origin blockbuster might prove a blessing for the Richmond coach.
That tough conversation is set to become something of a norm at Punt Rd with a bunch of in-form Tigers bracing for Round 1 disappointment.
With just 27 days until the season-opener against Carlton, Richmond boasts a shallow injury list and depth reminiscent of Australia’s Test team 20 years ago.
The likes of Jack Ross, 19, a bulked-up Riley Collier-Dawkins, 20, Noah Balta, 19 and Sydney Stack, 19, are all pressing for selection.
That’s before you get to injured pair Kamdyn McIntosh (ankle) and Jack Graham (shoulder), who should both be ready by the pre-season game against Grand Finalist GWS in Wagga Wagga on March 8.

And then there is Jack Higgins, who played without apprehension — and without a helmet — in Thursday’s intra-club at Punt Rd after his remarkable recovery from intrusive brain surgery.
That’s already seven players striving to break into a premiership team that lost only Brandon Ellis to Gold Coast.
The problem for that seven is that fringe premiership players, such as Shai Bolton and one-gamer Marlion Pickett, are sparkling in the summertime.
Assistant coach Justin Leppitsch said Bolton was “exceptional” after the livewire booted two goals in Thursday’s intra-club.

“We’re a bit unsure (of our best 22) at this point,” Leppitsch said.
“The guys that didn’t play in the Grand Final a lot of them played really well out there today. It’s going to be difficult.
“Noah’s one that’s looking for an opportunity and he played in our best defence today and was probably one of our best players.
“It’s really hard, because you’ve got to fit another player in. He’s made it really difficult for us at the selection table, that’s for sure.

“I’m sure he’ll get an opportunity next week in our first game.”
Pickett is completing his first AFL pre-season at the ripe age of 27, and it’s showing.
“He does look good, he looks sharp. He’s still blind-turning everybody, which is good to see,” Leppitsch said.
Leppitsch said Higgins was “terrific, he gets a lot of the ball and just knows how to find it” after his brave return.
“He and Sydney started in what you’d perceive as the ‘B team’ and both performed really well. They could easily slot into our group and play regular senior footy for us this year.”
Leppitsch said Stack was “a real weapon” given his ability to play all over the ground.
In the early rounds of last season the Tigers were fielding line-ups swamped with VFL names, but the accelerated development that gave the lesser-lights is paying dividends.

Rance leaving no doubt has Balta jumping out of his skin to grab that kpb position.
I reckon it’s just a different mindset for the kid knowing he’s not competing against one of the greats. Mentally he wouldn’t have expected to play (well not in the back line) now he’s playing in the lead up games in a role that’s up for grabs.
Reckon Leppa might be a big fan too

Pickett is the most graceful, silkiest, smoothest kick of a footy I’ve seen since Leon Cameron.
You cannot pick his natural side.
Absolute gun.
