Who would you have played instead?
Hey jelly good question! That's exactly what I've been trying to figure out, and have put forward some ideas in this thread (see last post of previous page) and the Midfield thread.
Point being - Richmond could adapt to the loss of Rance by tweaking their system and making some personnel changes. We've seen other top teams do the same over the years. From the outside looking in, we are trying to play players to fit a system rather than tweaking our system to suit our available team.
