Yep he kept fighting on, i saw him punch himself
, (not kidding either), when he dropped a sitter resulting in a goal.
Don't think so as last week in a presser Dimma was saying he wants to play CCJ but can't fit him in
The Giants want CCJ. Do we put him in the window next week and hope he plays a good game?
Seems Dimma doesn’t want him As we’re crying out for another ruck/forward to give Nank a break and provide a marking option in our forward line but CCJ still can’t get a game
Dimma can be very stubborn on certain points. One of these appears to be not playing 2 rucks, unless Soldo is available.
I'd play Caddy. He would realise that he is on his last chance(s) and give his all to stay in the side.
May prove a bust but I do believe he would be a better contributor than Castagna at this point in time.

Hugo Ralphsmith in line for Richmond debut after Shane Edwards injury blow
Richmond says it can find a silver lining in Shane Edwards’ long-term injury with a new cult hero looming for a Round 9 debut.
Richmond will look into the past for confidence a fourth premiership in five years is still in its future, although the Tigers will have to stabilise their rocky season without Shane Edwards.
Their most polished player is staring at about 6-8 weeks on the sidelines with what the club described as a “significant medial ligament sprain” to Edwards’ left ankle.
Edwards, 32, was on crutches as he was sent for ankle scans on Saturday.
The Tigers did not put a time frame on the injury, but said it was a “medium term” setback.
It has been a revolving door of three-time premiership superstars at Punt Rd this year.
The Tigers regained Nick Vlastuin and Dustin Martin against Geelong on Friday night, but lost Trent Cotchin (hamstring) and Dylan Grimes (concussion) and have now had Edwards go down.
They are still without Kane Lambert and Dion Prestia (both calf).
The club’s VFL team had a bye this round, but half-forward Hugo Ralphsmith is a good chance to make his AFL debut against Greater Western Sydney at Marvel Stadium next week.

Ralphy gets a good wrap in last weeks reserves report. He must be itchingly close
"His ability to break lines has been a real feature and his aerobic capacity continues to allow him to get back to help us in defence. He's displayed an ability to play multiple roles."
Caddy has had plenty of chances. Clever, good hands and nice kick but he is just too slow.
Prefer others.
this is what I'd like to see:
OUT: Edwards (inj) Ross Mansell
IN: Ralpsmith Coleman-Jones Grimes
Sub: Stack
Ralphsmith, Pickett, Bolton, Graham, Martin, RCD in the guts. This is thin. I know it, everyone knows it.
We MUST play another tall up forward to ease the two-way workload on the mids. A more classical forward line, less focus on territory and more on efficiency. We also gotta play our absolute best back 7 if we're gonna absorb a decent amount of oppo entries, so Baker running off a HBF. Our running backs need to support the mids at every opportunity.
Stack with his limited fitness might be an ideal sub if we lose yet another mid.

First we need to end the Pickett rucking farce. Need him on the wing. Next we need to stop using a back as a ruckman. If one of them doesn't ruck, then we're too tall down back so one has to go and Astbury is it. Next we need another tall option to support Lynch and Jack and at the same time solve the 2nd ruckman problem. Therefore Aarts has to make way.
