We don’t learn. Same selection mistakes time after time.

and all the alcos/drug addicts on richmond bigfooty would pick a better side.

[Profop]

Stack isn’t fit enough. Can’t risk him in a must win game

Only option would have been as sub

I’ll take him ahead of George every day of the week on current form

 

[AstuteTiger]

what does george offer over stack ? anything ?

Simples, he has the turn your back on goal and pretend no one is looking and then blindly plays on and kick for goals. 9 out of 10 those turn your back on goals snapshots always miss.

soldo the cherry on top going into finals

I presume Dimma must have been searching for the jelly snakes when George missed the entire goal face by 35 m with his first kick last week.

 

[SunshineBoy]

wouldn't mind Jack Graham being the sub...... for about 6 weeks now his first halves have been very very average before finishing the game a lot stronger in the second half.

At least he finishes the games, so you would prefer George to fridge?

At least Soldo can kick straight for goal and has some use as a ruckman. Castagna is a time bomb waiting to go off .

Our final home game for the 2022 season in a battle for the Ty Vickery Bobblehead. Richmond made their way back into the 8 with a comfortable win over Port to effectively end Hinkleys coaching career at Alberton. A win here will pretty much assure us of finals especially if the Saints lose to the Lions tomorrow night.



In: Ivan Soldo,Rhyan Mansell,Shane Edwards

Umpires: 23 - Robert Findlay 27 - Andre Gianfagna 32 - Jacob Mollison

Surely this Mollison bloke or Gianfagna character would be better value than Fumbler George Castagna???
Great job Dimma, rewarding mediocrity again.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Any sub that comes on late in a game should dominate as every other player has run at least 15km.

 

[Wooden Robot]

Surprised Castagna was not promoted to first rover and interim captain.
Face it, he's played dozens of worst games than last week's shit truck effort.

fridge is pretty much gunna play finals and george will need to be exceptional to get a gig so fridge by a fair way. jacks late start to the season had him behind the 8 ball and maybe catching up for so much fitness has flattened him a bit, maybe a freshen up will get him back in the groove.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

The only reason I can think of for playing Castagna, aka 'The Butcher of Bulleen' , is to increase his trade value.

We ain’t playing finals at this stage

 

[tora tora tora]

Normally the Sunday game with extended bench is it pretty easy to guess the final 4 (+1). But I have no idea with that list - the first 4?
But Graham surely plays ... And no Mansell.
Vlas got up, so Miller stays backup ruck, and so cross out Soldo perhaps.
Ross in I think, and then Shedda or MRJ for the last spot, with one as the sub.

Not so hard after all...but...

(mmmmm Gibcus I forgot is in the mix)

[5] Jack Ross,[46] Ben Miller,[49] Maurice Rioli,[28] Josh Gibcus,[34] Jack Graham,[10] Shane Edwards,[20] Ivan Soldo,[31] Rhyan Mansell
Good first 4 on the bench.
Graham always plays.
Edwards might miss. I don't think Soldo plays unless Nank is injured.

 

[Harry Bosch]

INT: [5] Jack Ross,[46] Ben Miller,[49] Maurice Rioli,[28] Josh Gibcus,[34] Jack Graham,[10] Shane Edwards,[20] Ivan Soldo,[31] Rhyan Mansell

If Nicky V plays Ross,miller,MJR,Graham seem the obvious choices..Gibcus staying in if NV misses..And of course soldo possibly replacing Nank
On top of George being in if Shedda replaces MJR i will be very unhappy..

Game lost at selection
