He only came into the side to cover for Short who had a 10 week injury.
When Short came back he was sent forward to add more bite and more importantly FINISHING GOALS.

I thought he looked equally impressive when he went forward initially, then he had an off game or two , there was talk of a disciplinary issue before he was dropped, but not sure if that was just rumour,
I’m not sure the drop in form can be attributed to the positional change , it may have happened anyway

Imagine if he had been on the field in the granny!
Toby Green hip and shouldered into row 12, with a huge smile.
4 goals.
3 hangers. It would have been a massacre.

Did have a bit of a drop in form: first year, drafted late, so I reckon he may have got tired which is hardly a surprise.
Full pre-season, has a contract, I reckon he will be back with interest in 2020. Be great to see, he is a real talent.

He turned out to be cover for Short, but it’s not why he initially came in. He debuted against GWS in Rd 3, which was the same game that Short did his elbow.
Way too talented to waste behind the ball. Should split his time 70-30 between forward and midfield with an eye to becoming full time midfielder.
We are lucky enough to have a number of exciting kids coming through but Sydney is the best of the lot. Rare talent.

Slow news day.
Sorry PRE.
This kid could play anywhere. Back, mid, forward. Has all the tools. Once he builds a tank he is a midfielder.
Going to be tough to dislodge the smiling Baker from the HB line but for mine he provides so much .
Look at the highlights below.
And we got him for nothing.
Enjoy.

He is, without any doubt, the best 1st year player I have seen play in a Richmond jumper since Knights.
Those dancing feet, the blistering pace and the over head ability make him a formidable player for us in the future.
This might sound strange, but too good overhead to waste in the midfield, because midfielders are usually too busy chasing the ground ball. Half back or half forward for mine.
Future multiple AA.

DA, in the high pressure VFL game against Essendon where Stackman did his syndesmosis a couple of minutes into the 3rd Stacky had a staggering 19 possessions? playing mid and was BOG by a mile before being injured so certainly wouldn't count him out from making his mark there in time.

He is a mid for me when he has the tank. Reckon he would be massive in the centre square
I thought it was promising last year that the match committee had the confidence to start Shai in the centre square on a number of occasions and i thought he did quite well and offered something completely different, (another good offseason and he should only get better).
In my dreams i see Jack Ross stepping up to be our big bull midfielder next year allowing Dusty to spend more time forward as he did throughout the Finals series.
A seven man forward combination where Dusty Shai & Stack would rotate & have varying stints mid, (Shai & Stack only bursts of course). Whilst Rioli does roam up and down the ground I am surprised he has not proved successful mid as that was where he wanted to take his game at the end of 2018 so time to try something new.
Just had to put our forward line down on paper again
wouldn't want to be a defense facing below, pretty scaryDusty Lynch Rioli

This .... hopefully he's hungry in 2020 and missing the GF will keep him focussed and unsated.
Noted Caesar, although I didn’t say he wouldn’t be great there.
It’s just that playing midfield is about chasing the ball. In the centre, you can be beaten by a bad bounce or blocked by a bigger body.
Off half back or half forward, the best players are the ones that can beat their opponents in the air and on the ground, especially one on one. That’s where he’s hard to beat and IMHO most dangerous.
Fair argument, will become one of those valuable magnets that coaches love that can be moved around.
