I was screaming for Terry to put Jay in the backline in the last quarter. Yes I stayed to the end, as I have done every Richmond game I have been to except one, regardless of the result.
I can understand Terry wanting to put someone down back to do a Benny Gale type role, but his choices were questionable.
Richo was good for a little while but the big fella is over thirty and Jay is a young. It's not rocket science to work out who will have the most energy to burn?????
Richo shouldn't have to cover deficiencies in the team. It just dilutes his potency. Give him run, but closer to the forward just in case he is needed there. He can't be in two places at once.
People say Jay doesn't win his own ball. Well give him an opportunity to get it. What did we have to lose? Jay was wasted in a stagnant forward line especially when the ball wasn't going down there.
I agree with ToO, why bother grooming someone for a backline possie if you are not going to put them there. I thought Jay did ok in the Nab cup against the Dawks.
