'We can go a step further' - Baker

Liam Baker speaks to media following the announcement that KFC Australia will be joining the club as an official partner.

Surprised at how well Baker handled himself. Doesn't just talk in cliches and gets around everyone. Legend.

Tom Lynch having little to no pre season is something that doesn't sit well with me. He is probably our most important player to keep fit this year.
I dont often say this but I agree with Groupie on the Gibcus stuff. He was putrid toward the end of the year so it's no massive loss to lose him with Grimes coming back in.

Quick random thought...

We've all wondered at our excessive drafting of small utility defenders, at least I certainly have, but is there a possible method to this madness?

If we assume those players were, in Richmond's eyes, the best available players at those picks, then maybe we just took them because, even if they are surplus to need, either they end up better than what we already have in the next few years, OR they give us some brilliant trade currency to get other players across that we DO need.

I dunno, just a thought. It's not a bad idea though, in theory...

Why waste pick 50 on a midfielder that was behind 20 other midfielders in the pecking order, when you can spend pick 50 on a defender that was probably only behind the absolute elite few, and may actually improve you in the mid/long run, or give you a really good player to trade out in a couple of years time.

With that in mind, should drafting always just be "best available" ?

Draft for talent, trade for needs.
Never deviate.

I thought Narkle was hopeless, turned it over so many times.

Observation from training today- the lead up tall is choosing to double palm the ball down to an at speed running player, instead of marking. This is happening between centre and F50. It happened nearly every time by all our talls in this part of the ground, and resulted in a quicker transition of the ball into our F50 to a marking forward.

Look for it R1.

I feel like that it’s more likely that was a directive from the coaches to simulate a spoiled ball at CHF and practice forward 50 delivery after a ground ball get

There was a drill very similar to that which was used all the time (although we used a single CHF with one of those ball rebounders)

If the CHF can get two hands to the ball for an accurate tap they should clunk it every day of the week. Then they can give off the quick handball to the best option under less pressure or just get the ball in quick themselves

I agree, but I recently heard that when Chol went over to the Suns, he was shocked at how behind in his fitness he was because of the gap in standards between us and them.

They aren't to blame for all of our injuries, but there has been a change in standards the last couple of years.

Fitness team delivered a side that won 3 flags. Think they did fine tbh

I felt the same leading up to the Xmas break with him not participating in training at all - but he's up and running now so hopefully he'll get the necessary miles in the legs by season start
