Id only be disapointed if we were in a race for the #1 pick and didnt get itIf the Weagles do win then we we know we are in the race for the wooden spoon this year. Will not be happy about that

Can't see Ryan replacing Lefau.
Like removing a HSV and replacing it with a Hino.

Eagles will be pretty happy to jet another #1 pick this year they are quietly building the core of a young side that will have a sustained run at finals in a few years time.The way we are playing we should comfortably beat them. if not for injuries V Carlton and Saints we would be 3W and 2L now.
Have a look at the Eagles team they are in for another tough year and likely wooden spoon.
Not sure about that with Simpson at the helm his got no idea.Eagles will be pretty happy to jet another #1 pick this year they are quietly building the core of a young side that will have a sustained run at finals in a few years time.
Backline is a sieve . Leaks. Old hands doing ok but Young & Miller struggling when old hands on the wings get caught out. Got to get some young legs on the wings. I would move Kmac to back pocket & play in a role Mrs Stewart plays at Catters .Pickett sub as he can play anywhere.In: Baker, Grimes (if fit) or Ryan.
For something different try Grimesy as a defensive fwd, contest the pack and knock the ball down to Campbell, Shai, MRJ etc.
Agree that the backline is looking quite competent and should not be messed with.
Agree, they have what we need, speed and skill.Once we can manage to get Coulthard and Juddy into this side we will have even better wheels and better skills across the park
Maybe he is just there to make sure they get a few more years of top picks.Not sure about that with Simpson at the helm his got no idea.
I get your point, but spitting averages out after 2 games is a bit odd, especially when he was subbed out for the first one.Lefau must go out. And one of Ryan or Naismith to come in and give Kosi help up forward and give Nank a chop out in the ruck. Lefau doesn't offer much.
He averages 5 disposals a game, 1 goal, 1.5 marks and 1.5 tackles. Have you seen him run down anyone with his supposed pace, taken any high marks at 195 cms tall. Comes from a rugby background but isn't a prolific tackler. His pressure is close to non-existent.

3 touches against Sydney, 7 against St Kilda. He improved. Kinda what you'd want to see.
12 "pressure acts" against St swans, 9 v Saints.
Rioli has had 23 and 16 and he's meant to be one of the best in the league at it.
You put HMS Sampson in, I can't imagine he's going to keep that up. Sampson instead of Kosi - perhaps.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not seing the reason for adding Lefau given his age and scope for improvement (I think small). He stands 6'5, plus hasn't really played the way from what i've seen.
He looks so far (very limited viewing) as a good VFL player.
But in terms of team balance, we're shuffling magnets I think with that swap.
That's what I'd like to see, the out will probably be Kano thoughHuge danger game. If we don't go in with a full effort like the first four games, we are vulnerable.
Baker in, Dow out.
No probs Joe. How many Richmond forwards get on the chest delivery? Minimal.Yeah but he drops chest marks
