Miller offers more with ball in hand than Young. I'd play both ahead of Grimes right now but we know that won't happen.Can we play two blokes that basically just punch the ball? Not sure...
Nanks record against Grundy is poor. Expect Naismith to play. Only question is will he replace Lafau or will Nank be a late outSince Preseason, selection has been basically the established 22 from last year. Plus new players to the club for opening round. Yze is pulling some good changes in game. For 3 losses and another 2 to follow. we're looking like bottom 4 team. Pressure rating an all time low. poor football skills across the ground.
Football: just too many stats. Sadly the scoreboard is ignored.
I'm seeing a team that is either not starting well and/or not running out games. Injury has, again been the opportunity for depth players. Its been great to see some depth. Shame Tresize got injured. Lynch looks a month away from match fitness. Dusty not involved for long enough.
I presume Miller stays IN, I hope Sonsie comes IN. Dow and Banks probably lose their spot. Don't know if we need Naismith.
He'll probably come in for Dusty.Nanks record against Grundy is poor. Expect Naismith to play. Only question is will he replace Lafau or will Nank be a late out
And how have we been going for past year and a bit.This his 6th season. If he's been playing good for the past 2 seasons, then that means....that it took him to find his form? Automatic impact is a bit strong. He had some decent games and some games he did nothing.
And that's some revisionist history too about those guys being any different from Ross at the start of their careers. Maurice Rioli absolutely had an instant impact when he came in, more than Ross did in his first 2 years at Richmond for sure. He had a poor 2023, but his 2022 was quite promising with his relentless pressure to go along with some impact with the ball too.
Mansell before his bs suspension last year looked to be settling into his spot to the point where is was an actual loss when he got suspended.
MRJ comes in because our pressure has been so poor that bringing in someone with his attitude to chasing is needed, even if he has provided little to nothing with the ball. Attitude is important and I guess the hope is he can find some way to impact with the ball too.
Clearly they have shown something, which is why they are getting played. Attitude is important, knowing the gameplay is important, playing your position is important, defensive running is important. There's way more into it than just what supporters can see. We might watch a game and think wow Cumberland kicked 3 goals and looked dangerous, but the team watching the tape sees he's not defensively running with his man which destroyed our defensive gameplay and made him a net negative overall. He gets dropped and told to work on that part of his game but all supporters see is a guy that kicked 3 goals getting dropped and wonder why.
Team selection isn't always right, but its silly to think now 3 different head coaches have all just decided to pick certain players for 0 reason.
Grimes tried hard last week and was good considering the way the ball came in from the PA midfield but I think Miller was better. Miller and Young should both play and the choice should be between Grimes and BroadI have a horrible feeling that's exactly what's going to happen.
We're not doing it. That's the problem. We used to do it. Sides used to be under constant pressure all the time against us. Now, all we seem to do is run to guard space and then get picked apart by even the crap teams.If chasing and harassing is so important, why are we the only side in the league that does it.
Yes. Should be, but won't be.Grimes tried hard last week and was good considering the way the ball came in from the PA midfield but I think Miller was better. Miller and Young should both play and the choice should be between Grimes and Broad
I think Young has the ability to be more attacking if Miller plays the shutdown role. He started to go for his marks towards the end of last year. Obviously if Balta is in defence Young has to play the shutdown roleMiller offers more with ball in hand than Young. I'd play both ahead of Grimes right now but we know that won't happen.
who cares when umps are involvedMiss 0ne more and his 300 at the g
Balta absent from training, and Bauer left the track early :S
Yze also mentioned Grimes is a bit sore and Broad not certain to be back.
how does louie still have a gig ?Balta absent from training, and Bauer left the track early :S

You'd ******* hope so. I can't fathom why our most promising kid is suffering from leather poisoning in the VFL while not even getting a look in as an emergency with the form/injuries of our current squad.This is all one big plan to get the #1 pick yeah?
TBH when there's multiple threatening KPFs with unpressured delivery, our KPDs are struggling to win their match up. Forget the attack.I think Young has the ability to be more attacking if Miller plays the shutdown role. He started to go for his marks towards the end of last year. Obviously if Balta is in defence Young has to play the shutdown role
