Agree its yet to be seen if towno can get as much of the ball and use it as well as miles.

Hopefully just taking it easy to build into the season proper. He will get games just a matter of when
Haha i don't know how you guys do it...the last 30 years has just been a rollercoaster for Richmond.
Caused somewhat by the supporters diehard passion and the teams flirting with finals glory but ultimately failing (not an insult).
You guys sure stick tough

Doesn’t matter
Not expecting Townsend to get as much ball. Reckon he's about a 15-20 bloke at this stage.
His use needs to be efficient when he has space.
Think most of it however will be the dirty work.
Where he can show out though is when he pushes forward as he has a nice set of hands and good goal sense.
10-15 goals would be nice out of him.
What's the story with Miles? Haven't heard anything anywhere about him not being available.

Yeah Townsend isn't anywhere near the level of Miles yet, but he will take his role if need be and I'd back him in to take the opportunity with both hands to assert himself in our best 22.

He's not really a tagger in the true sense. He may yet play that role not sure it remains to be seen.He is more of a smash in and cause a bit of mayhem type. Look after the prime movers and apply a lot of tackles.

Any word on Hampson and Miles?
Are they definitely 100%?
The way things are going it could be McBean 1st ruck with Rioli starting midfield.

Hampson had both ankles operated on at the end of 2015 season and is far from full fitness (if he's ever been there).
Our ruck situation is schizen.

reckon towna will follow gibbs around
I would honestly rather Chol be upgraded and play over Hampson.
Chol gave us toughness and a contest with some nice aerial work in three nab cup games, Hampson made us all cringe the two times he went near the footy.

I don't think there is much chance of us coming out complacent Thursday night, with all these injuries and the flogging Port gave us late in the game I'm sure Dimma will have them on edge to get the four points at any means neccesary.
I actually expect to come out switched on this season.

Add to that, depth players such as Cellis, Moore and Taylor Hunt should all be going hammer and tongs from the first bounce trying to secure a best 22 spot before the regular rotation players return.
I am really hoping and excited to see Cellis, Lennon and hopefully Rioli all play well, and hopefully one take the game by the scruff of the neck at one point. That'd be a massive win for me.

Are the teams released tonight?
Perfect! Call Dimma.

Loving your optimism.
Even with a few key players/positions down we should control this game. They'll try to stifle our exit/run and entries now they've discovered 'zoning' but DH will have this covered with his usual coaching master strokes
Expecting another teeth grinding affair but hoping we blow them away early.

Hampson is stuffed which is why Chol trained with the main group and is a sneaky to be called up.
Rioli will definitely get a gig - really happy about this
Ivy in doubt = ivy will miss. I have no faith that Hampson is ready and if called upon if he could even play out the game. Which means its griff and ty... if ty rucks we then rob our forward line..
Lots of opportunities for other players to get a crack in round 1 and the early games.
...Now all we need is an article about miles missing!!

So who are the confirmed outs?
Lids, Conca, Yarran, Grigg, Edwards and potentially Maric?

All of those except Edwards. He's expected to play
