Autopsy Roast toast and changes for Gather round v Freo

[Michaels]

His very fit michaels the way he threw those punches non stop even a boxer wouldn't be able to keep up lol He will come straight in.

I wouldn’t be so sure.

Yze spoke about selection integrity today, bringing him straight in flys in the face of that and creates a dangerous double standard.

This is actually a big moment for the club to continue to send the right message.

I don't disagree but dimma used to say such and such player had a great game and was not picked the week after. I still think he will be back in. Might free up blight for Yze experimenting it and hope he doesn't destroy him.

Will you be making a video of the performance i was unconscious for hours and missed the game? By all account's we played good.

Unpopular opinion but I think Balta will be made to earn a spot via VFL.

I actually think it would send a poor message to slot him straight in ahead of someone like Campbell Gray who has been performing really well consistently.

For culture reasons and match fitness I think he comes back via VFL

I agree with this.

Regardless of the fact that I think it's just better to have Balta come into the side once everything off the field is resolved in 2 weeks time, giving him proper VFL minutes is ideal.

Craig McRae had that quote last year along the lines of "you can fit, and you can be match fit".

I have no doubt that Balta will be fit to play. But I don't think he's match fit to play off of no games at all in 2025.

Ins: Ryan, Hugo, Alger
Outs: Dow, Bauer, Smith

Kmac becomes the sub.

Alger takes Ross' spot at HF (1 CBA for Ross, and seems like most of his touches came around the half fwd and a bit of the wing).

Ross takes Dow's spot in the midfield.

Hugo takes one wing, and either Banks or Trezise the other wing. The other then plays as the 7th defender, with Blight down back.

The extra small fwd in Alger also means you can probably have Campbell move up the field a bit more as well, whether that's to the wing for the outside speed, or into the middle for speed out of contest.

WTF Hugo did f all and ryan was just Ryan in and out of the game and got thrashed in the ruck. Alger was ok not ready yet. Gray is but i don't know where they will play him.

 

[RichoLedio]

Kamdyn McIntosh has played 194 games
Needs 6 to make 200. After round 11 we have the mid season draft nurse him to 200 then send him off after round 10.his 200th game against roos at the mcg
He then retire ala Shaun grigg

[Coach_Required]

only problem is there is no vfl next week

Umm that's my point.

No game next week and then 1 in the VFL before he finds out what his sentencing is.

 

[TiggerMan22]

Lalor already has a hand in so many of our scores it's crazy. His handballing is a surprise with how quick and accurate he is.

Overall his vision and game sense is really impressive. He seems to know where the ball.
is going before if he even gets it.

Yep, this natural instinct is something you can’t teach and he just has it. Processes the game much quicker than others which is so impressive for his age

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

My big takeaway was huge credit to Yze.
It was so apparent at the game that from the second quarter on particularly, the focus was on lowering the eyes and protecting the footy with short kicks away from congestion,which then allowed others on the ball to run past with some momentum and find others in more space further.
This actually threw the Lions out a fair bit,as they were set up for our dump it down the line stuff which they were obliterating us at early in the game with their physical advantages and superior footy nous and ability.
We went from looking like a certain 100 point drubbing to a really fun experience and loved how the kids stuck to the plan.
In fact it was the more experienced that wavered mostly which I get as our brand once was to move it quickly and outnumber at the contest.
The exact reason Dimma would have gone after the likes of Taranto and Hopper.

When Ross, Sonsie and Banks get a game there is no such thing as selection integrity. He plays

Who would you have picked instead this week? The replacements were either injured or playing their first game back from injury.

Hmm that’d prob be very harsh , he’s actually been very serviceable this year , I’ve got prestia in the gun for that

 

[Madtiger2006]

Sonsie needs to play in the middle in place of Dow who we have seen over 4 years he won’t make it at elite level

Dow creates play and does more than Taranto. Rather we reduce Taranto playing midfield and play forward 50/50 with Lalor. Get Mcauliff in too

 

[Grechy]

Lions midfield is so stacked. The Ashcroft boys have elevated it again so very happy that we were able to hang in to what I believe is at bare minimum a preliminary final side this season in Brisbane. All our kids showed more then promise.

Well looks like we are in forma fiesty convo on Monday night then.

 

[energyquant]

A new Richmond game style is emerging. At times we looked like
GWS running forward in numbers. Some of kicks we were taking showed skill and dare. We are clearly being taught to avoid bombing it into the 50. I like

 

[Jammo1111]

Dow is giving it his all to save his career right now. He has played pretty well the last two weeks with twenty plus each game. He’s also always high in pressure acts.

He’s likely not the long term answer, but he’s improving and doing enough to retain his spot right now.

I genuinely think if he can feel he belongs he could establish a career.

But he can't kick or handball and he panics.

Alight, firstly, go the farkena ressies. 3-0. Best thing about this is our list depth is about to continually improve. Juddy is close, then Lafau, and by R10 we should have the rest of the ACL lads in. And Prestia should help our reserves out as well
On the ones, if we could of converted better, the margin would of been closer again. Missed 3/4 sitters.
The kids are great and Balta will be straight in next weekend. I think Bauer will be the unlucky one there as Blight should play forward and be 2nd ruck. We may have a luxury of both Balta and Blight being able to mix and match between forward and back to stretch defences. Pretty good conundrum to have. Makes us far more unpredictable. Broad, Miller, Vlaus and Trainer were fantastic. Hopper was great and Trezize had his best game for the club.
Ins: Balta
Outs: Bauer
McAuliffe looks to have a foot injury and could be out for weeks. Smillie needs another 2/3 weeks in the magoos to get match fitness up.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

We ain’t getting pick 1 unless we tank .

We won't need to Tank.
Yes good performance yesterday
But Bears were only in 3rd gear.
As the season gets on our efforts will become more of a chore.
Keep rotating the kids.

 

[Rubber Hips]

We need to pick up Massimo Raso in the MSD…the kid has gone past MRJ and yassine

Players like Ross and Dow just aren’t good enough. Both playing for their careers now. They don’t get into any top 8 sides midfields
