Autopsy Roast Toast & Changes for Round 4 Gather round vs St Kilda.

[RFCGloryJC]

Herald Sun report on Baker out of contract.
Must retain Baker at all costs.
Sad to say, would let Jack G go to create salary space.
Of the newer players, would also retain Dow, Campbell.

 

[Crow_Sting]

Oh no

[Hoos]

Sad to say, would let Jack G go to create salary space.

In a heartbeat.

 

[Punt rd end]

Balta and Lynch out for weeks

 

[tugga]

Lynch needs surgery. Out "long term".
Balta 3 to 5 weeks.

 

[Cotchin 9]

For ****s sake

 

[Sol23]

That’s massive outs.
We now have no players who can bring the ball to ground and make a contest in the air.

 

[Punt rd end]

Definitely going to be a suck it and see year

 

[sportshow]

seriously .... WTF with our injuries ....

 

[tugga]

Lynch looked terrific yesterday too. Was clunking marks.
**** this.

 

[prodigy]

Whether we like it or not, we now need Kosi and Ryan to come in and play those two roles.
We are going to need both of them to lift their game significantly.

 

[tugga]

Kozi in.
I'd rather see Naismith in than Ryan. Alternate cray and Nank. It won't work, but we need a bigger body than Ryan.

Kozi is a absolute spud, he has been horrendous and would be a waste of a spot.

Would rather them bring back Ezra Poyas before letting Koschitzke anywhere near it again

We are going to need both of them to lift their game significantly.

Much like the opportunity that has been presented to Miller, both Koschitzke and Ryan will have opportunity to prove they either can be what we want them to become or if they're list cloggers.

 

[prodigy]

Kozi in.
I'd rather see Naismith in than Ryan. Alternate cray and Nank. It won't work, but we need a bigger body than Ryan.

I did forget about Cray. Prefer him over either of them but just hope he has some forward craft.

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Dimi Hardwick also used to say it takes the first four to six rounds for the dust to settle.
The teams tweak, refine and hone their tactics.
It is starting to gel.
With our depleted forward line this week, need to shore up midfield.
Don't have much faith in the replacement talls this week as matchwinners.

 

[Rubber Hips]

Lynch we knew was injured…but it sounds very serious…hammy…could be 4-6

Balta I wasn’t expecting….ffs…serious knee in the final seconds of the game…how unlucky

Richmond will also be without Noah Balta for up to five weeks after the swingman suffered a knee injury in the final seconds of the five-point win.

 

[Punt rd end]

Fortune favours the brave

 

[Ctl]

Watched the replay, a very proud win. The key players in Baker, Bolton, Lynch, Taranto and Vlastuin stood up and the young brigade played with great endeavour and seized their opportunity, which is exactly what we need. Baker won't be suspended and the injuries to Lynch and Balta suck, but after st kilda we have west coast, then a bye so it could be worse timing. Ryan in for Lynch, Martin in for Balta. Use either lefau or ryan as the second ruck, kozi is not an afl player

 

[Rubber Hips]

Lynch and Balta out

Ryan comes in…Grimes has to come in now
Dusty in

Out Banks Lynch Balta

 

[richo's dodgy hammy]

Lynch we knew was injured…but it sounds very serious…hammy…could be 4-6

Balta I wasn’t expecting….ffs…serious knee in the final seconds of the game…how unlucky

Richmond will also be without Noah Balta for up to five weeks after the swingman suffered a knee injury in the final seconds of the five-point win.

Happened on the wing I think, that play that got Bolton the ball forward as the clock ran down.

 

[Ctl]

Lynch has a hamstring tendon injury similar to gibcus, could be 12 weeks or more

 

[shaky]

Looks like we will be missing both Lynch longer term and Balta medium term. Forwad line is stuffed.
Silver lining to find will be giving some kids a go. Hopefully Ryan is fit to play. Give him a block of games as the main man up forward.
