Hammer or Sharman for Membery. TBH I'd maybe give Hammer a week off

Gresh for Billings.

I reckon he'll bring Seb back

 

[saintsmania]

Gresh and Hill for anyone

[Jade Buddha]

All of Caminiti, Sharman and Pou were poor this week. Either Membrey or Hayes to replace at least one.

 

[BrutThough]

As bad as the 2nd half was, Richmond are still beatable.

Out - Sharman, Caminiti, Gresh, Byrnes
In - Membrey, Hayes, Billings, Ross (if fit)

Unfortunately, we don't have the midfielders on the list to be able to make changes there. Membrey seems to have fit some form, Hayes provides the 2nd ruck option we've been lacking, Billings can hit a target inside 50 and Ross is sadly still our most likely midfield option if he's declared fit.

Would also love Coffield to come in but that then becomes a lot of players off long injury breaks returning at once.

We need to keep backing in the youth

We need to keep backing in the youth

We also need AFL quality key forwards and players who can hit a target.

The Richmond backline will eat them alive if we go in with the same set up next week.

 

[beside the seaside]

Richmond's season is basically over. We really should win this to keep our season alive.

So Caminiti and Sharman aren't AFL quality

Season is done but we'll win this and then lose the next two. 12-11 miss finals by half a game.

So Caminiti and Sharman aren't AFL quality

Not yet for Caminiti. He tries hard and done well for a 19 year old off the street but he is tiring and getting well beaten most weeks. If Hayes is fit enough to come and provide some proper ruck support for Marshall, then we will be better off.

And I just dont rate Sharman. Until he can start holding a mark, he won't be a threatening forward.

 

[nobhead]

Would love too see something different this week .
Keeler for sharman
Coffield for byrnes
Billings for gresham
Stocker into the 22
Hill and billings as half forwards
Sinclair,crouch,owens starting midfield.

 

[The Punter]

Hayes for Caminiti
Membrey for Sharman
Billings for Gresham

Also consider Stocker for Cordy based on Richmond forward line composition.

Might win next 2 Geelong looked shaky against PA & got a few dubious decisions there way.

Hayes is next year I’d say miles off it needs a uninterrupted pre season.

So Caminiti and Sharman aren't AFL quality

They were the donut kings yesterday.

 

[TheNewEnsign]

Just to be obtuse we'll probably win this one and then drop the last two. That said, playing a somewhat banged up Geelong at home for a spot in the eight (probably their spot in the 8) in R23 is way better than almost anyone gave us credit for at the start of the year.

As others have said, Coops or Hammer need to come out; Hammer looks tired and Coops needs a few games in the VFL of just doing the small / ordinary things well. Membrey in.

All in all I am not that fussed, we are now playing ~8 players 22 and under (at the start of the season) who are in our best 22 (I am counting Byrnes in this number) and that includes our entire KPF line. So it's not like we're trying to get wins at the expense of development.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Keeler for King.
Give Max a rest until 24 he looked nowhere near it last night.

 

[The Punter]

The Sharman issues are the same as they always are. His clever involvement early gifted Butler a goal. But he is quality and little quantity.

Caminiti just looks like the season might be a month too long for him. Plenty to work with there, no shame in giving him a rest (no Sandy game this coming weekend).

Membrey and Hayes are big, mature bodies. Membrey will be more productive than Sharman - the question is on the quality. Hayes into the role we all wanted him to play, and Caminiti did on the weekend to little avail: forward/ruck.

As much as Keeler excites me, don't throw him in now when we have an "inexperienced forward line" problem.

King just needs to work harder, but he's paid to play and he's fit. We need to expect and demand performance: he's not a project player. He stays and is accountable for his performance.

 

[MickG88]

i would keep Sharman in as he found space twice and was burnt twice by Gresham. If Gresham wasn't selfish then it would of been two goals to Sharman.
The rest I agree with.

As bad as the 2nd half was, Richmond are still beatable.

Out - Sharman, Caminiti, Gresh, Byrnes
In - Membrey, Hayes, Billings, Ross (if fit)

Unfortunately, we don't have the midfielders on the list to be able to make changes there. Membrey seems to have fit some form, Hayes provides the 2nd ruck option we've been lacking, Billings can hit a target inside 50 and Ross is sadly still our most likely midfield option if he's declared fit.

[MickG88]

Can we drop Steele for the rest of the year? 11 disposals from a captain isn't good enough.

 

[BucketsandBanger]

Richmond’s season is on the line, one last roll of the dice for their old champions, Dusty will be back. They will have for too much pride to lose to our peahearted senior players.

 

[Plugger35]

We need to keep backing in the youth

I'm all for backing in the youth but that youth still needs to produce good enough performances to stay in the team, you can't just gift them games.

Both Caminiti and Sharman went missing yesterday so it's time to give them a spell and give more experienced players in Membrey and Hayes a go.

We are still a chance of playing finals if we win this game so we need to put our best possible team on the park, not just gift games to cooked kids.

Might win next 2 Geelong looked shaky against PA & got a few dubious decisions there way.

I wouldn't give us much chance of beating Geelong at KP with the armchair ride they get there but we are a decent chance of beating them at Marvel.

We really need to win the next two games to be any chance of playing finals as I can't see us beating Brisbane at the Gabba in the last round.
