Preview Round 1 v Carlton MCG Thursday March 14 7.30pm

[Stigmata]

Not sold on Young yet now that we have Gibcus there. That makes it an inexperienced tall BL with two struggling backmen in Broad and Grimes. Miller needs to play FB beside Gibcus as he's tougher, cleaner faster and better equipped than Young in taking a monster forward. Miller will eventually break into the side with Brown, Trezise, Sonsie and KMAC2. It's only when the MC finally realize the old campaigners are taking us nowhere.

Even if (or when) we make the decision we can't make it and play the kids it would be ludicrous to not have Grimes or Broad out there (probably alternate each week as on ground coach)

True but reckon their midfield will torch us unless Bolton, Dusty and co can stand up and be counted. Having nightmares of Rowells demolition job last week.

Agree with your point. I think we need one player with speed in the guts likr Dan/jnr/Bolton. On a plus all 3 can tackle and chase

We are NO chance if their midfielders dominate and Curow and McKay get regular supply.
Can’t just go with 3 plodders in there at the same time. You need some explosiveness around Hopper, Taranto and Prestia. We look sooo much more dangerous when Bolton is in there.
But our forward line looks so much more potent when he’s down there

I'm starting a movement to put Dan Rioli and Jack Ross

on the wings. Makes us look 100 times better, gets some foot skills and speed around the ball, helps get games into Brown or Trezise at half back and fast tracks the rebuild by phasing out a Kmac or Pickett quicker.

b- Broad, Young, Vlastuin
hb- Short, Gibcus, Brown
c- D. Rioli, Hopper, Ross
hf- Prestia, Balta, Bolton
ff- MRJ, Lynch, Campbell

in: Lynch, Dusty, McAuliffe, Nank, Brown
out: Crayfish, Ryan, Banks, Dow, McIntosh

That doesn’t change the fact we have blokes like young,grimes and broad down there who are either past it or not up to it.

I think Young is fine. People are just expecting a bloke we picked up from the VFL to be a star defender, when in reality he should be second or third banana back there.

When you are yellow and black
You never go back!

Let's blow this mob and the umpires off the bloody Park!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Call me crazy or delusional but I have that feeling too.

You’re crazy and delusional

Fisher is the one to watch. No where near as bad as OGorman or Deboy but still a dickhead when it comes to 'umpiring' Richmond games.

Think they would have announced a debut by now.

Didn't spot him in the Captain's Run videos on insta. Interestingly, both Ryan and Kosi were also missing, but Naismith was there.

Young did a good enough job on King, especially given the way the ball came down in the first half. The first goal was on Gibcus, not that he could do much about it, another goal was a very soft over the shoulder, if he even touched him. He got another out the back, and he was beaten once or twice.
