PUNT ROAD END | Richmond Tigers Forum

Watching last nights game really rammed home the fact that we have very few players who are willing to get thier hands dirty at stoppages.

Apart from Foley, our other main clearance winner Coughlan is out. I think we are starting to realise he is one player we could not afford to lose. Who are our other clearance players, Johnson?? Tuck?? Thats it.

Watching North last nite, they had Swallow,Simpson,Harris dominating the stoppages, abley supported by Mcintosh in the ruck. Collectilvey as a team they also tackled hard

It is clear Ruckman are underatted. Any decent team who has premership aspirations needs an A-Grade ruckman. Just ask Grant Thomas

Our recruiting should be focused heavily on Ruckman and midfielders. But when I say midfielders I mean players who win the ball at stoppages and not pacy wingman. We are on the way to rectifying this last draft with the recruting of Daniel Conners, however we need more players of this ilk.
