Konrad Marshall writes about the Richmond mantra of position over possession in his second book. Players will quickly get dropped if they don't adhere to the game plan.
100%. Explains why any criticism of Rioli, George or Shai when they don't get involved for periods of the game is unwarranted... they are playing to instructions.
 
I don’t know how we are going to beat Collingwood this early in the season (when we are not up to speed yet), they will have our measure in the ruck and midfield.
we need a serious hunter in the midfield that has pace because this will be our undoing with shorter quarters, even Carton killed us there But they couldn’t capitalise, Collingwood will.

who goes into the midfield?
who goes into the ruck?

Ross and Nank...
 
Love it, they failed to mention we are the premiers though, l think they knew more than that and were trying to be creative.
Yes he did, mentioned we are the defending champs
 
Caroline Wilson mentioned on ABC's Offsiders that Richmond has asked the AFL to bring the Round 2 game forward to Wednesday instead of Thursday. Collingwood have agreed to that change, but the AFL declined it because they said that it would be too much of a change in such a short time.

I see the logistical problems it would cause with broadcasting etc. so I understand why. However, if they do want to condense the season, then they would need to start thinking about bringing forward Rounds 3 and 4 now.

The Dog's wouldn't have beaten their AFLW's team they way they played. As soon as they got the ball and saw a loose man oh I'll kick it to him 20m away. Across the ground and back again, and so on. Would not pull the trigger and take the game on and kick it forward, so easy for Collingwood to defend. Richmond are the exact opposites, get it in asap and let our forwards have fun. Prestia left off from last year, Cotchin looks very eager and in good touch as does Martin. You have to give some credit to Carlton's mids up to a point. Cripps will always find it and a fit Mark Murphy is a very good player who also finds it.

talking of changes something thats been nagging away at me.
Does anyone else think the short quarters are here to stay.
Television wants shorter games they tried to introduce shorter half time break and when that failed have used the corona virus to bring in shorter quarters thru the back door and away from scrutiny.

I can see it now oh wow the short quarters worked so well tis yr we are going to keep them.

There is not one logical reason for us to be playing shortened quarters its a scurge and a blight and imo is horrible. it completely cuts the games most vested interest out of the debate that being the supporters.

It really is a disgrace that the afl can control the media the way it does.
 
Yep I was wrong it was Chol but the 2 rucks worked bc Grundy didnt have an influence so i would definitely stick with a 2 ruck combo against him
You really need to go look at that game Grundy dominated the ruck and had plenty of influence without getting a whole heap of ball.
