No thanks. Would rather play someone who actually has potential at the level if we're going to gift games to a kid.

He has been in the best every week for weeks playing as an inside mid in the VFL. We have one on our list in the position we are pretty deficient in.
How will we know if he can play at the higher level when he has had one AFL game in 18 months. He has improved a lot in that time in the VFL.

Can we bring in Yassine & Lefau? Brindley too while we're at it.
Yassine and lefau are still well below afl level. even if they were listed (in which case people would bag them for not getting it enough).Can we bring in Yassine & Lefau? Brindley too while we're at it.

Agree.
ATM, JR8 is neither marking much nor converting much. Is not / cannot cover the ground. Struggles to get the ball to the ground. Does not make opponents earn their possessions.
The Bar is pretty low for a key forward.
If a key forward gets the ball to ground or gets a stoppage, Dusty and Shai say we are the biggest score threat.

didn't they say jack is going around again

time to return the traditional Richmond yellow
dont count ya chickens before theyre at kfc
Watched him closely at Southport. He's not a gut runner and doesn't work hard enough contest to contest. But once finals are definitely off the table, I'd play him.
Maybe he doesn't have the tank and needs another preseason. I feel he hasn't worked hard enough in the last couple of off-seasons. Does some good things in games
ATM he is a 'good' VFL player IMO. I'd be playing Sonsie first.
I thought that was Ben Brown in a marking contest..Just no more KMac.... Please
Heres footage of him applying pressure this year:
Sonsie is obviously a better player but he has been average in the VFL overall. Taking time adjusting/second year blues. Having said that his contested game and possession count has been better in the last few weeks so you may be right. The difference is Dow wins his own ball, Sonsie as much, which is more needed at AFL level right now.

We’re obsessed with drafting skinny dwarves is the problem. Why not get some big angry blokes that can kick
Doesn't sound like Cotchin is playing this week. Sore calf.

And nor should he. If hes got even the slightest niggle he should be saved for a proper farewell. I dont want to see him say good bye iced up on the bench
You have 3 forwards on the bench and Grimes. Midfield gonna hit the wall even earlier than normal. Pickett, Riewoldt, Bauer, Martin, Cumberland surely arent all playing together. Can live with 2 of them, the rest should have speed. Forward line is miles too slow given our pedestrian midfield as well, it's so easy to go coast to coast against us.
Bring back 3 small forwards, send Baker back to help out the under siege defence if Rioli is out. Try MRJ, Mansell and Coulthard all together and bring some pressure. MRJ has been poor, but our record when he plays is still far better than when hes out.
No one gifting games we won't climb the mountain again till we get games into the kids.
Would be a wasted game on Dow.

Libba is 100% the key to the dogs...
Bont just runs forward, exactly like Dusty did in his prime, but it only works because Libba does the grunt work. McCrae on the other hand nearly farrks it all up chasing cheap kicks, and falling to his knees every possession looking for a free kick

So with no Cotchin and Hopper I'm half expecting Dow to get the call up as we have no other inside mid depth but I'd prefer we play Sonsie in the middle and/or move Ross into the guts and Pickett back onto a wing.
