If we can't win this one, being dead won't excuse a further flogging.

Losing would certainly put lie to us ever using the injury curse as an out again and Simmo would surely have to walk (if he had any decency).

Disappointing to see Loch dropped after only 1 game.
Earnt his spot through good WAFL form, deserved more time to claim a long term place in the team.
Edwards should've been rested.

Agree that anyone called up should get multiple weeks, and I love Rawlinson. But Brockman did nothing to be dropped other than get concussion protocols. Rawlinson had a good qtr at WAFL level, is a small forward, and we just happened to be playing at his home ground last week. Club made a good call to give him an early taste, based on factors that went a bit beyond pure WAFL form. Therefore I am glad Loch got the experience but not disappointed in the decision he makes way for Brockman. It would be different if he was going out for any other player, and going forward if you lose your spot due to bad form and a kid comes in to replace you then yeah the standard should be multiple weeks of a go.
 
From memory, Darling took more contested marks than the entire Richmond team, in that 18 game.
Maybe the best we played in that '18 season apart from the prelim.

Still remember Lycett having delusions of being a midfielder and sidestepping players late in the game to have a shot at goal

A bit harsh, great expectations not? Still in a rebuild, still developing some team chemistry, no guarantees at this still early stage...yes, a win would be great to get us on the board.
It's looking like one we could win in theory, but if we lost (depending on how we lose) I doubt very much Simmo is going anywhere for awhile...
