So who’s the 22 for rd 1 ?
- Thread starter Mr Brightside
- Start date
Just a matter of whether we go with our strongest team - 21/22 premiership players + Caddy - or select a few with an eye to the future.
It's good that this is our biggest problem after three flags.

He's butchered a few opposition players as well. Plays for mine.

The first two games (not looking beyond two), look very very winnable and more so as each day passes.
Not sure that we will pick our best team early. Expect instead one, which will take advantage of our very strong list.
This will be a long hard season with changes to the length of the season and to the length of quarters and rotations all likely to impact on soft tissue injuries in particular.
Rather than our best the greater need at this point is to protect older players getting over injury like Lambert and Prestia and blood younger players who given the opportunity, may be great.
From our premiership team maybe Lambert, Prestia and certainly Houli will miss. Aarts, Caddy and Collier-Dawkins or possibly Chol to come in.

I would give Lambert & Prestia an extra week off and play RCD /Dow / Ross
If we dont give these kids games against teams like an undermanned Carlton with injuries then when do we get games into them
We need to get these guys to 20-30 games

Maybe its over analyzing things (the core existence of this group
) but I reckon Riley is still some distance away from playing game 1. I though he was blowing hard in the 3rd after being on the ground for less than 5 min. Some good signs with his contested football but think his tank is a mile off (happy to be proven wrong). I would have Ross in front of him at this stage.Injuries will dictate when the kids will get their chances. We would also err on the side of caution with the injuries and probably wait a week longer before clearing a player to return. Say give Prestia one more week for example.
We open the season v Carlton then a 10 break to Hawks then 6 days to Sydney at the MCG then another 6 to Port @ Adelaide. So would expect some management over these shorter breaks leading up to Port. There is then another 6 day break to Saints.
Series of tough games Port - Saints - Demons - Bulldogs - Geelong - GWS then Brisbane in Brisbane. Bonus is they are at MCG or Marvel in between Port and Brisbane
The AFL in its wisdom has not released days and times from round 7 onwards at this time so hard to guess starting 22 management past then.
Adelaide and Essendon before the bye then to Perth v West Coast after the bye and we start getting ultra serious. We travel post bye 4 times to Perth twice Gold Coast and Sydney (also Geelong if you count that as travelling)
Be interesting how we manage the playing list this year. If the kids all come on it would be a nightmare selection task for finals.

From what Marlion showed us in the 2019 GF, I want to see more of him in the midfield.
Didn't realize we were off to Geelong. .... we should take our last 3 cups on tour since they have so graciously helped us win 'em!

The draw does not have the details just we play Geelong in round 19ish and Geelong is noted as the home team.
Probably have to play them at Geelong so we can stop them whining
I can see details here: https://www.richmondfc.com.au/footb...mpSeason=34&MatchTimezone=MY_TIME&GameWeeks=1 and it says we play Geelong at 1pm at the MCG on July 24 and it is their home game.
Guess they need the funds which come from a big crowd.
