He and Castagna are 1A and 1B for doing SFA. The game has gone past them. If your small forwards are predominantly relying on pressure and can't consistent hurt the opposition ball in hand they are obsolete. And we have quite a few of those players and we can't shift them all to defence.

MC very poor on this one. Very poor.
He has demonstrated that he is not up to the standard repeatedly but selected each week.
Very poor selection.
Once it is clear a player is not good enough then a change must be made.
The current selection is very much like Richmond pre 2017.
Does not matter if little available in the seconds , nothing will be achieved ifnothing is tried.

I'm OK with this guy on the list, but as your 33-40 range, not your top 22.
Just a guy punching above his weight if you ask me. Love the effort, his gutsy, but his talent level is a grade below.
We must get better.

This is very measured and slightly generous. The fact he is contracted next year is ridiculous. Who would try and get him if we only offered one year deals?

The MC are not up to standard with their selections.
