Changes v Aints

[Redford]

Aarts extremely lucky. Would have had him and Martyn out, D Rioli and Kaps in.

Midfield looks a bit weak. Would have kept Ross in.

I'd like to see Miller come in to the side and free up Balta as a tall utility and second ruck, and stop using Astbury in the ruck. We need to see what Miller has got at some stage.

Yes, would be nice to see the big lug given a go at some stage. I suspect that, if we soon start running with two rucks, Miller won't get his chance for a while. But I'd like to see it, especially if it gave Balta more licence to charge up the ground. An unpredictable Balta (unpredictable to the opposition that is) would be about as much X factor as you could get.

This is crunch time. Another loss would mark three in a row to younger teams, for the first time under Hardwick, and time for a rebuild on the run IMO.

Aarts would want to have a blinder

Certainly would make for interesting times with Melbourne, Dogs and Cats to follow.

CJ should be in.

Alas not - well alas not CCJ

Thinks this post will be revisited many times later this year.
Rebuild if we lose? Shirley you can’t be serious

Reckon if it was a the G instead of Marvel, CCJ would be in.
Smaller ground, quicker game. Need to be mobile.
And Saints don’t have a ruckman to trouble Nanks, let alone two.

Spot on. Possibly next week to help Nank deal with Max.

Last week restored my faith a little, but the challenges keep coming. We'll be over the crest before anyone realises it, then it's a case of stringing it out well enough to win another flag, like Geelong haven't quite managed to do.

Average teams at +2.20 age difference win 67% of the time. We'll see.

Better to warm him up in the 1sts.

Triple Tigers premiership umpire Stevic. Hopefully he has a calming influence on the other two (Gavine, Fleer).

Seriously do not wanna see that Curtis De Bacle again in our game.

Isn't the general rule that the smaller the ground height and contested ball winning is more important and bigger grounds run?
Really worried about our midfield , they better make Ross sub..Wouldn't put my life savings on cotch getting through on another 6 day break..

Bad move to drop Ross. Need to get games into him especially with Cotchin nearing the end.

Ross might be nearing the end at Punt Road too.

I'm feeling we are into a key established mid, no evidence no intel just a feeling.

Richmond has become unimaginative and predictable, both in selection and game plan... for the first time in a while, I really feel for the kids on our list
