Im surprised you haven’t given him half the time you gave Chayce, to perform.
It’s the draft pick

RT seems to be a school kid personality in a man’s body
Over this next pre-season RT needs to change his mindset and his consistency will follow
He needs to move from being that school kid living the romance of playing for the club he supported to being a professional athlete that needs to start impact games, and then consistently dominating the opposition
It’s all upstairs for RT

I would be interested to see were he takes the majority of his contested marks, my guess would be between the Arcs

Is Riley Thilthorpe the new James Sellar? - high draft pick who started promisingly as a KF in Dubai then finished as an average ruckman at another club.
I hope not but he’s currently tracking no better than Elliot Himmelburg. I know big men take longer yada yada but I’m losing a little faith

Basically all of our younger players have faded later in the season this year. Rachele is the most notable but Pedlar, Soligo and Michalanney have all been worse in the second half of the year than the first. This isn't true of the 23+ brigade, and Thilthorpe's poor last couple of weeks should be considered in that context I think. I expect all of those guys to be better next year, and we definitely shouldn't be writing Thilthorpe off or anything close. I still think he will be a great player.

Don't think Sellar ever kicked 5 on debut, won a game against the Saints, had the game against Collingwood last year or kicked 5 in a Showdown this year......

Sincerely hope you’re right. Would be nice if he kicked an occasional goal from 30 metres though, that’s not tiredness

Down on confidence and maybe tired after a long year.
Had kicked 17-3 for the season up until 5 weeks ago and 1-6 in the last 5 weeks. All misses set shots and relatively easy
He will bounce back. The kids a super talent

It must be very depressing and confidence sapping for him, knowing that in every quarter of every game over the last two years he's started on the bench and knowing he'll be lucky to get 70% time on ground. With Walker going around for another year, it will probably be more of the same for him in Season 2024.
He started as the lead ruck against Collingwood last year and was influential around the ground as a 5th midfielder taking contested marks and clearance and also had 4 shots on goal when resting forward, that's how we should be playing him.
And so easily affected

He definitely dropped the ball on an angle for one of his misses a few weeks ago. Maybe his drop has degenerated?
And you can definitely tell Fog lacks confidence and self belief as wellThis..
Self-belief set to hold Fogarty in good stead
The tall forward finished 2022 with a career-high 33 goalswww.afc.com.au
Adelaide forward Darcy Fogarty said self-belief had never really been one of his strong points.
But that slowly started to change this past season, when the 23-year-old joined teammate Riley Thilthorpe in a course to build confidence which has translated to improved form on the field.
Both talented enough to be playing more consistently

So what is the Coaches job then?
Pro tip; collecting heatmaps
or reviewing numbers ain it.
Still think he would be better playing between the Arc's more, is he mobile enough to play a similar role to what Lynch used to? He has a good short kick excellent below the knees and quick hands and seems to mark it better away from goals

with our lack of talls i'd trial him at CHB
And there absolutely nothing wrong with that, I think it would be good for him.
I have seen it work many times before
