Changes for Port

McKauliffe for Sonsie
Sims in for Lynch

Rotate Nank with Sims.
Sims is a ripper, he reminds me of Jack. I reckon Ryan will come in for Lynch, or maybe even Fawcett might get a look. They both kicked three in the VFL

So why keep him on the list at all if we just rule a line through him at Rd 1, a game where he did very little wrong?
He's on the list. He appeared to work hard over pre-season. Sonsie gets the spot until he either screws his chance, or someone jumps past him and he needs a full match for his own sake.
I agree. Sonsie has got real talent but he hasn't made a position his own yet and just looks a yard off the pace, same with Greene.

Banks and Campbell were in the same situation last year but they've stepped up this year.

we are in a rebuilding phase and we have to get games into kids

fawcett is a forward or bust, Ryan a ruckman or bust.

for these reasons I think playing Ryan forward instead of Fawcett is simply a waste of a game experience

No obvious match up for Blighty so they might be inclined to give him a rest to get that leg right.

In: Fawcett, McAuliffe
Out: Lynch, Blight

Sonsie might get a start and Mcaullife the vest.

Does anyone know if the there a South Australian Richmond supporters function this week before the game. Heading over for the game. Thanks.
It was mentioned on the talking Tigers podcast
 
It just makes sense for Fawcett to debut in Adelaide where his family and friends can be there.... Ryan should just hone his Ruck craft in the VFL until Nank needs a spell. Right now, we need to find our Tom Lynch replacement. Fawcett is ready to go so please give him a chance. Then try Faull and Sims at some stage too.

I will deadset scream if they select Kozitski...

I just don’t understand how Ryan can play when by all accounts he got a couple of cheap goals but generally sooked it up.

The only issue would be if they dont think Fawcett is ready to play AFL. Playing before he is ready wont do anyone any good. Same with Simms.
But i agree Ryan should play ruck, whereever he plays.

So i dont know who should come in! Hopefully Fawcett.
 
I might be wrong and didn’t see the game but the impression I got was that Colina and Hayes-Brown rucked and Ryan played forward last week.
 
Wow have match committee finally got a clue, both excellent ins hopefully kano next week and im happy

Exciting times with 2 kids - one a debutant and the other to play his fifth game - and we still have 6 draftees from last year to look forward to (playing their first games - at some stage)

Nice changes. Will be interesting to see where they play Kaleb. Sonsie, McAuliffe and Samson emergencies.
