Cotchin for hopper. Mansell for Cotchin and Ralphsmith for Dusty. Clarke for Mansell on the bench. I don’t think we lose much on ball.

I think it’s a better structure. 3 forwards 3 smaller runners. Hopefully we lock the ball on better than the first two rounds.

Either way the Cotchin forward experiment should be over.

Cotchin's hardly played forward in the first two rounds.

Listen to Dimma’s press conference. He’s a 3-time Premiership coach and we are a systems based team. He literally said in his presser a few hours ago that Clarke plays a role that Richmond does not measure on the stats sheet - it’s about running patterns and the like. Clearly it’s all about defensive running, creating space, filling holes, providing cover, creating turnovers etc….

So why on earth do you still think the team is selected based predominantly on things you see on a stats sheet, when Dimma literally says the complete opposite?

Like Cumberland ability to kick goals ?
 
Jack Graham 100th feels like hes played 300
 
So you say none of the ins apart from Ross warrant a game but you say Cumberland should be in the team. Lol.
Ralphsmith -dud
Mansell - dud

Cumberland - isn't a dud

Yep that's what I'm saying. Dimma is playing favourites again instead of picking players that have potential to win matches.

The Geelong game was a shoot out, then the Pies came over the top.
Tonight's game was more of a slow tempo grind, maybe that's the way to approach it.
Controlling the tempo would be key, because they would seek to run fast.
Target N Daicos and Noble early on.
Probably play MRJ a little more in defence.
Bolton has been hit and miss, hope he steps up.

let Noble have the ball is sensible policy imo - he will give it back to you, 50/50 at worst

no hopper, no martin, I kinda don't have hope- anyone can change my mind on this?

just wish we could get anything close to a consistent first team.
 
Team looks great. Sonsie isn’t playing because he’s not fully fit, and he might yet be named as sub. Cumberland can’t just be chucked into the team and go back to his old role when he’s learning a new one for a while in the VFL, which should be good for him. And he clearly didn’t do enough in the VFL, and would upset our structure if he was in. Macca/Ralphsmith to play wing or 7th defender, Ross for short, Mansell for Dusty, Bolton to play more mud with Clarke in his spot. Pretty great that we have this depth. May or may not win, it’s a free hit. But either way selection was pretty good, stop melting
 
Fisher and Mollison tiger haters

Leigh Fisher (3), Andrew Stephens (12), Andrew Heffernan (29), Jacob Mollison (32)
 
Love how people freak out over selection every week like we have any clue about the intricacies of what Dimma actually needs holistically.

Same people freaked out over JGTI playing round 1 and he was instrumental in stopping 2 certain goals for Carlton in the last quarter.

Even if we lose tomorrow night, it doesn't mean selection is wrong - I know this might be hard to fathom but sometimes the other team is simply better on the day.
Also notice not a word about Mansell after he came onto the ground and kicked a goal in the first minute last week

He was public enemy #1 prior to the game
 
Ralphsmith -dud
Mansell - dud

its a long season dimma going for pace and fittest players. last quarter if you watch games.... late...unfit guys puffing, cramping and panting, superfit guys running around full of steam. mansell and ralphsmith will need to clock up the kms along with macca, toranto, rioliboys, clark and co if we want to match it with the pies
