Round 2 - changes to the team. Richmond v GWS
- Thread starter year of the tiger
- Start date
Hopefully omit Ross.
Six turnovers.
Dithers and panics under pressure, kicks to opponents down the line, instead of better handball and inboard option.

Time already to play the kids Collier D , Roili, Dow rotate them BUT play them in happy if we miss the 8 BUT better having the kids get some game time .
It's about Premierships not comminy 4th .
It’s a no brainer that Stack comes into the side this week.
This will allow Bolton to play purely as a mid and Stack up forward.
I would also bring in Sonsie. Too much class to be playing reserves. Fast track his development. I am big on getting 50 games into these kids ASAP. He might not be ready fitness wise but we don’t need him playing more than 70% game time.

Yep. This chaos stuff is going to cause another year of long term injuries.
Grimes won't last the way he is being asked to play.
Ross's best possie is inside mid. Play him in that role. Ross still defers to Dusty and Cotch too much. He finds the football at least. I'm not sure who else we have. Caddy seems to ba a VFL player Plus bring in RCD. Leave Bolton in there all game. . I'd also have Cotch half fwd. I love his attack. I don't think Dusty is 100%. Faded badly. I hope Graham, Edwards have better games. Cotchin's DE 35% Ross 80%

How did Dow go? He seems to be next in line (at least until Sonsie is fit enough).
Sonsie isn’t ready. Give him another 2-3 VFL games.
Rioli was our worst player on Thursday. Scared s**tless and a total liability in the backline.
Out: Prestia, Jack, Rioli
In: RCD, KMac, Dow
i agree with Rioli comment. I think Mansell is a better defender than Rioli.
Does Aarts keep his spot?
Reckon that is it SA. Keep a low profile this week otherwise Dimma may come out swinging re team leaks at the RFC.
I thought Rioli was good in the 1st half and some of his run from defence in the 1st quarter was what we are looking for, but he faded like the whole team did.
I fail to see how Rioli was worse than Aarts who IMO was clearly the worst player on the ground.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
Jack's a flanker so bring in a flanker. Probably Stack, less likely Caddy or Budget Caddy (Cumbo).
