I don't think we have the skills to be an elite kicking side so maybe some chaos will prevail even if not by design

Tiger to make long-awaited return, injured veterans to be managed
Josh Gibcus is set to feature in Richmond's match sim this weekend after spending more than a year on the sidelines
www.afl.com.au
Dusty likely won’t play this weekend and Nank managing a foot injury. Mansell getting a bit of air time along with Dow, hopefully a break out season for both of them!
Sorry I have a few questions because I know nothing about this guy. Is he more of a lead up style forward or a contested marking forward? Or both? His height/weight combo (194/82) has him a bit undersized for a key forward but if he’s showing a bit on the track then that’s exciting, if we go with him
I agree, from the front seats today, Schofield got a few shout outs of encouragement from coaches and players. Schofield has better running patterns but Lefau is a different beast, so who knows? I am certainly not declaring one way or the other.
Schofield has played forward and back, Lefau mainly forward and no stints with mids.
From what I saw in the VFL Lefau was at his most dangerous in the midfield so that’s interesting. He’s a good size to be a forward but he only averaged a couple of marks a game so will he be a threat at AFL level is the question. Not doubting his defensive output at all, just other aspects of his game
Good to hear that Schofield is training well. I'm a massive fan of Lefau, but for mine he is more of a utility type player, whereas as Schofield is a natural key position player, meaning that he would fill more of a need. We'll be happy with whichever player they go with.
Thanks for the report as ever C. Any info on Sonsie? Forward again or mid? I notice his name is absent here..
Sonz was mid and delivered nicely to forwards on a couple of occasions
I understand the hold-up with the redevelopment is negotiations regarding the number of gold toilets in @caesar 's throne room. In an attempt to pacify him they've given him the grandstand for now.
I think it depends on who is in the team. We have also recruited good kicks over recent years and I reckon we are far better placed in this area than many think.I don't think we have the skills to be an elite kicking side so maybe some chaos will prevail even if not by design
Brown, Banks, Baker, Clarke, DRioli, Dusty, Hopper, Sonsie, Vlastuin and probably a few others I have missed are all good users of the footy,
By the way there have been very few mentions of Dan Rioli over the pre season. I assume he is just rolling along getting ready for real stuff ?
interesting isnt it.
Lefau is a physical beast little exposure at VFL level due to injury but is 26 ?? this year
Schofield is a bit of a late comer to footy but plays as a natural forward and is 23 ? this year
Footballer v Athlete choice ?
Thanks for that. Wonder if Match Sim will be on Club website delayed. Can't watch it on Sunday so happy to wait. Otherwise will have to give cash to Lachlan
Reported somewhere in the training archives that Dan had a somewhat managed program due to his ankle, (not sure if he had any clean up or not?), anyway the last 2 or 3 weeks he has been back to full training so will be good to go.
