maybe bolton hasnt been doing enough when hes not got the ball, not doing what hes told regards to his role etc. none of our games have looked like richmond games since the restart and that stuff matters in our team. ill back in dimma here, 2x flags in last 3 years, why wouldnt i
That’s the only explanation I can think of. But to my untrained eye the defensive stuff has been lacking from all the small forwards, no way you can point the finger at just Shai

imagine if we actually play well don't fumble it at all and get an easy win. will feel so good after how s**t we've been since coronas
 
Just on Bolton and why he may have been dropped.

He ranks below average in the following categories:
Disposals
Marks
Kicks
Handballs
Disposals Efficiency
Effective Disposals
Contested possessions
Uncontested possessions
Tackles Inside 50 - 1.3 per game
Pressure acts - 12.8 per game
Goal assists

Now granted out forward line hasn't been functioning at it's best, but he has not really done the little things that you expect to see from a pressure small forward so like Rioli the previous week he has paid the price for not performing at the level that is expected of him and will be sent back to the scratch match side and work on those things listed above.

The side as a whole has been performing well below average and people were demanding changes be made to try and kick start the season so those that aren't performing at their best are going to be moved in and out of the side until it clicks and we get the season moving in the right direction again.
 
Makes things even more perplexing. Our focus more on a height advantage vs ground ball advantage. Will be good if comes off.

Banking on the Dees flooding us and forcing us long down the line it seems.

If that is the case, why drop your small forward who is averaging the most tackles? If any snall forward has been playing the Richmond way, it is Shai. Strange call.

The same can be said for Castagna, who is a focal point for us yet averages less goals and marks than Shai? Castagna has done a worse job of his role so far this year than what Shai has. The whole 'Not performing his role' argument is crap given his competitions performance.
