We'll put Bauer on him, he shut down Mcdonald a few weeks ago in the magoos and he's pobably 15kgs heavIer and 3 to 4 cms taller than Bauer.

Indeed. The only bigger inclusion was the other Richard. The legendary Richard Lounder. He kicked 4 in an early season win against North and I'm fairly certain that our season took a sharp nosedive the very next week or maybe the week after. I don't even think he touched the ball again let alone score.
There was an incident that really highlights how differently the game was officiated back then, albeit in a reserves match. It was a week or 2 before the North game and we were playing Footscray (we won easily, which is ironic given how our season turned toseemingly just as easily).
Lounder was yet to debut in the seniors and was resting at full forward near the end of the reserves game when he led out and marked on his chest only 15-20 metres out dead in front. As he was jogging to his mark (still with his back to goal) a dog's player came across to try and force the much, much bigger Lounder to go around him. RL, much to the delight of the all Richmond crowd at the Punt Rd end goals, simply (but forcefully) introduced his left elbow to the poor sod's jaw, knocking him out cold.
Result: The giant potato went back and calmly slotted the goal as the Dogs player was carried off. No report, not even a free against him for it, lol. From memory he made his career highlight debut against North the next week.
Wow, I hadn’t heard that story! But given that the guy’s number one attribute seems to have been his size (203 centimetres/116 kilos), I’m guessing the Footscray player wasn’t the brightest bulb in the pack. I think someone once opined that Lounder was just far too slow for AFL level (which makes you wonder why they couldn’t have figured that out before using the number one draft pick on him!).

Defences fall for it every time. It is frustrating but Nank worked it out last season.
Instead of getting into a wrestle with the strongest guy out there he stood back and jumped over him and it worked. Seems no one else learned from it but Nank and our coaches figured it out.

And we have to keep Ryan away from any Geelong forward pocket boundary throw-ins.
Forgot Sam De Konning not playing either.
I thought we were tanking?

I can think of one in their backline...but he's a really good bloke.

Yeah, from what I recall if he didn't take a mark he was completely useless (apart from knocking out slow witted opposition defenders of course). Really, really slow. I can remember people referring to him as The Tree, such was his mobility.

Has to be Balta contesting those in our back half. Hawkins will monster anyone else.

It's Time!
The umpires went to town on us also in that game.
I think the umpires have been better than in previous years.
Hopefully they don’t come into it.

Baker is a good average player, that is so wrong. He gets himself out of situations that 90% of footballers would get caught in because he is so clean below his knees, then uses it very well. Would be top 5 easy in the B & F so far this year.
Porkins is now very much a confidence player...just need to work on that!
Young will be back and has not given any forward much room all year, hence the league' no.1 mantle for spoils and 1%ers. Broad gave Darling a bath on the weekend as well and of course there is still Grimes. All 3 can run as well. Cameron will get his fair share, but he shouldn't have a day out against good opponents.

For me the most pleasing thing was the body languauge of Shai, Tim, Dusty and Jacob. All looking 100z invested and involved. Plus the improvement attitude and special glimpses Ryan is showing.
Really need Young at least back to hold Hawkins - or at least make it hard - then between Balta and Broad to keep Cameron in some sort of control ....

Turn the tables, send cotchin out to hunt. Cotchin can be quite dirty.

Cameron on fire all season, very mobile, working in a big space. Job load will be shared. Trouble is that if we put too much work into him others get of the chain.
If through the mids good work we are able to limit supply, we can cap the damage.
Oh, Jesus wept. Tough but not dirty.
Honestly, I would love to see a list of all the instances of Cotch being a sniper/dirty. I feel people are still just angry that he got off the Shiel bump in 2017 to play the grand final and that's all there is to it.
Things exploded again in the final against the saints over a tackle that slipped high. All the commentary around it was brought up again.
Genuinely have no idea where it all started though?
