Round 2 - changes to the team. Richmond v GWS

[year of the tiger]

Suddenly round 2 against GWS looks daunting.

Out:
Prestia injured
Soldo - 1 ruck
Aarts

Hardwick will keep the faith for this team to bounce back

EDIT: Jack Riewoldt out with a broken thumb.

 

[BrisTiger24]

Out: Prestia, Riewoldt, Graham
In: McIntosh, Dow, RCD

We need to see what Dow, RCD etc can do. Just play them

 

[tigers1980]

Need to fix centre clearance issues otherwise will face same problems again next week.

 

[tigerman]

Play Balta forward/ruck
RCD in for Prestia
Cumberland in for Castagna who has had 0 tackles in his last 3 games and kicked 1 goal.

 

[btoz_01]

Out
FAarts that’d be a start if hes playing we’re a man down already

 

[eZyT]

Out: prestia, JR, aarts, ross

Didnt the VFL get beat by 100 points today?

RCD would have to come in, or his list spot is pointless.

Balta covers JR, so we reach into the huge bag of developing young talls?

Stack for Aarts - if hes fat and projectile vomits continuously, hell still give us more

Kmac? How far is he?

Jack Ross is not good enough

 

[Smoking Aces]

Out: Riewoldt Prestia Aarts
In: Macintosh Dow RCD

 

[Scoop]

In RCD, Sonsie, Stack

Out Prestia, Graham, Aarts

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

In. All the new kids

Wrong thread

We got totally anilhated in the last quarter out of the centre. I think we lost every single one.

Carlton wanted it more. Just like last year, our intensity and pressure levels were way off, all game.

40-22 clearances. Stoppages 26-10. Contested possessions 135-114. Tackles 42-32.

Is this group hungry enough anymore ? They looked like they were trying to win against an average side on the bit tonight.

More pressure and intensity and first hands on the ball required.

Caddy might get another chance with JR out.

Or perhps we have a look at Cumberland.

 

[ToraToraTora]

Arthur in. Pace and class ftw.

 

[craig]

Out Prestia , Jack, Aarts, -

Also out!! The seemingly continuation of our strength and conditioning mob to not get the guys right.

 

[Ridley]

So Prestia is injured and Jack as well? If so both out and also Aarts; thanks for the efforts mate but unfortunately not up to it. Dimma doesn't like to make too many changes so doubt there will be any more than that although there are quite a few who will be lucky to hold a spot. Do we drop Soldo and play Balta as relief ruck? Thought Nank was poor but he's co captain so no chance he will go.

Who comes in? Really no idea. Is McIntosh ready? Vlastuin? If both fit then they play. Who else? RCD and Dow? Neither fill me with great hope. Stack? Is he fit yet?

 

[mrposhman]

Out: Riewoldt Prestia Aarts
In: Macintosh Dow RCD

[DavidSSS]

Prestia clearly out

Apparently Jack broke a thumb so out.

Aarts out.

Ok, so give RCD a go, Ross can try in the middle and see if it works, otherwise out. Balta must play forward. Keep the 2 rucks but rest them back not forward. Bring in KMac and maybe Dow.

[toothless]

Guessing it won't be the changes most of us will be hoping for...

In: McIntosh, Caddy
Out: Riewoldt, Prestia

 

[Dont Argue]

Watched the magoos today.
Other than Sonsie, absolutely nothing to get excited about.
Most of our AFL listed players were appalling

 

[Spirit of Jack]

IN: Anyone who can get a stoppage clearance... anyone... anyone?

OUT: More rather than less changes

PS Without a midfield...it's going to be a very tough year. I hope Hartley is on the case for 2023.
