Autopsy Roast and toast vs North Melbourne and changes for round 8 vs GWS

[Nostradumbass]

Pickett needs to stop trying to bump when he can lay a tackle, he's been doing it all year.

Dusty should get off also I think it may have been an open hand

in a perfect world dusty will get off with zero fines and the umpires will get disciplined for not calling holding the man frees

Why was Bolton dropped

Bolton wasn’t dropped he was sent to the reserves to get some midfield time. Did him the world of good, he’s our best midfielder at the moment.

Backline was rock solid.
Egg may need a game or two rest at some stage but otherwise stays in for good.
As does Balta.
How does Astbury fit back in? I think Baker moves up the ground. Houli going to have trouble breaking back in.
Bolton just fu**in brilliant in the first quarter. Not as noticable for the rest of the game but he stays mostly in the midfield as our stars return.

What to do with Jack? He is still useful even as a decoy. Oppo can not afford to ignore him. He is a champion and will regain form at some stage.

Soldo has his limitations, but did well on Goldstein who is one of the rucks that can take control of a game. I think we need him to negate the monster rucks of the league.

Higgins, Castagna, Rioli, Aarts probably as good as they've been this year. Hopefully they all build on tonight's game and keep improving. No VFL and no obvious replacements to keep pressure on their performances ( Markov? Dow? RCD? Stack?)
Chol's form helps take the pressure off JR & Lynch.

I'm not particularly noticing Lambert, Graham, Dusty, Pickett standing out in games but a scoreline like that doesn't happen without without your midfield being on top. Graham may make way for Cotch/Prestia when they return, followed by Pickett. Pickett has that mature body that is needed at the moment with other players out. He is handy with his versatility.

Who takes Caddy's place on the wing?
Naish is a possibility as is Dow. Or, I think Baker would suit if Astbury is ready to return. Balta remains, Grimes plays small again.

Hard seeing any other changes. I want to see CCJ in the team. Could he take Chol's forward/ruck role and Chol take Caddy's wing?
Think Ross & RCD are going to have to wait a bit longer for opportunities.
Garth now behind Balta.
Stack won't get ahead of Egg, etc for a while now. He may be best as a Rioli replacement if needed.

No way jack graham gets dropped again.. he is pivotal to our center bounce set up.. pressure acts and tackling m. Takes the pressure off our ball winners and good ball users

and Dima loves him

i will allow it as long as he destroys someone like clangerfield

Soldo omitted ... are you high?

Tonight he made a lot of silly mistakes. I just would rather not have a player that has so many errors in the team atm. Also playing a team that doesn’t have a dominant ruckman next week I would prefer to have CCJ’s flexibility

 

[Mr Unbelievable]

He has a real Kevin Spacey creep factor to him.

Wouldn’t he be looking at her ass

 

[biaseddustyfan]

i reckon Dimmer is realising we don't need some of our greats as much as we thought we needed em

 

[smasha]

Been waiting a long time for Richmond to get alot of indigenous players and now we have some absolute gems.

They are footballers that entertain,naturally gifted.

 

[Accepted 04]

Some people are just dumb

It’s like the same people that hated the Egg inclusion 2 weeks ago and are now loving him...

dusty kick inside 50

SOMEONE GIF ME

 

[Meli]

hodgy told Richo off for getting grimey reported
hodgy said...absolutely no way grimey gets rubbed out...was on the shoulder ...and Richo should be embarrassed for not sticking up for the tigers more

But did you hear Richos response?
He said if he stuck up for him he'd be called biased.
Poor guy, damned if he does, damned if he doesn't!

 

[wagstaff]

Considering the players out and Lynch/Riewoldt providing very little, to have such a dominant win was very impressive.

Been impressed by Nathan Broad this season, has really taken a step up in quality and maturity. Defence as a whole was superb.

Is Dimma going through puberty again?
looks like a bit of acne

 

[DustinsGuns]

Broad has been unbelievable this year. I use to be his biggest critic but he would be in the top 10 picked every week these days

 

[caddyshack]

I can't see how Astbury gets back into the side?
Who makes way?

 

[Karp3_dm]

Systems based team! The players say it all the time and it really shows on game day now!

called it a few weeks back deggs = houli mk2

 

[Rubber Hips]

Astbury ready to come back in
out Caddy

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Cotch won’t play next week - Dimma

 

[Karp3_dm]

He acted like a an adolescent last week!

 

[NaturalDisaster]

I have no issue with it either way tbh, good on him for not wanting to seem biased.

He's still rooting for us deep down.

 

[Rubber Hips]

I liked what Dimma said about Egg


he can certainly play the game...real well

has to find his way...but is exciting
