Riccardi & Hogan r 2 players I didn't want to see come in. Think Riccardi will be in their best against us down back if we just go "full richo" witj our forward entries.

We can't just kick it on top of Lynchs head all day, if we do we will lose

It's too much pressure on young King at the Saints.
The teams which have improved this year, so far, Dees and Swannies, rotate the forward line scorers.
It's a systems-based approach.
Like Dimma says, plug and play.

Mummy out being managed means we didn't need to bring in a second dedicated ruck.
Taranto, Kelly, and then Greene, are their three best.
Target the two mids first and that chokes their supply.

Nank, Dusty, Pickett and Graham will be the starting midfield based on the above stats
Balta, RCD and small forwards would have to fill the void after that
The problem we have is that apart from Dusty we have lost our "clean" mids, Sheds, Bolts and Cotch who just have sticky fingers and fast hands which provides the ability to gain possessions while others fumble and then in the blink of an eye move the ball out of congestion.
RCD looks like he could be one of these types moving forward, Pickett can be quite fumbly at times.

Without the clean ball our turnover game isn't as effective as we aren't able to extract the ball as cleanly which gives the opposition a chance to create another stoppage.

Hopefully our mids can at least break even to take pressure off our defence, really hope Graham has a big game as when he does we seem to win games.

* that s**t
 
He got all those possessions whilst playing on the wing.

Barely touched the ball at all as an inside mid, let alone play a decent half of footy.
As post 511 about 4 up from here shows, he did not go into a centre bounce once last week, played the whole game as a wingman.
In fact other than round one, where he came on as the sub from memory, he has been in the centre bounce 12 times in 3 matches, which sort of negates the argument that he has been played inside and failed. Collier Dawkins has spent almost as much time at centre bounces in his shortened 2 games as Ross has in his 5, 2 of which were as a sub granted.

Too slow.
For a wingman I agree, not for an inside mid. Libba, Oliver, Cripps, Bont, Pendelbury, Selwood.... none of them are quick. He is way quicker as an inside mid than Graham because he has good speed over a short distance and has good agility. Graham gets the ball only one way, on the run and runs in straight lines, which he is very good at. But as a mid he chases a lot of arse.
 
Poor team selection imo. Only reddeming factor is that we have our first choice backline in... but our midfield will get obliterated honestly.
Nank will take it out of the ruck kick it fwd.
No need for mids
