Can’t believe I’m saying this, but I think we gotta give chol a go in the seniors. Couldn’t do any worse than soldo, could he?

Absolutely needs to come in as a 2nd mobile tall in the fwd line and chop out in the ruck too.

CJ didn't play apparently out for 2 weeks.
Miller out for about 4 weeks/

Shai was great played 100% midfield.
Turner great. (They actually sent him in for some clearance work a couple of times which was a surprise and good for his development).
Mabs was quite good kicked 2.
Egg-Smith good
Oleg quiet but brilliant last quarter.
Broady plenty of it but fumbly which is why he was dropped in the 1st place.
RCD, Menadue quiet games.
Weller fair

VFL listed Nielsen kicked 5

Where do you see Mabs best position. Ruck / forward or defence?

Surely Bolton is back in on that game. I'd probably push Higgins forward, he's been poorer for us since taking more mid minutes.

Get Cholly in the 1sts as ruck/forward. More chance he can lead & mark than Soldo can imagine.

Good to see Bolton respond after the dropping.
Agree with those saying let's give Chol a chance in the AFL as a ruck/relief forward.

Soldo is like another Trent Knobel. OK at Hit outs but not much value around the ground.

Bolton clearly best - 11 tackles too

Only player from both sides to be clean handling ball all day.

A very ordinary game with many ball ups.

Last quarter the game opened up.

Luke Nelson from Noble Park kicked 5 and knows how to kick a goal - very small but - we don't need anymore

Marcov gave us good run in the second half.

Richmond only had AFL players
Bolton / Broad / Weller / RCD / Chol / Aarts / Turner / Smith

Geelong had twice as many and including
Constable / S Selwood / Z Guthrie / Bews / Simpson / Z Smith / Buzza / Fort / Abbott / Parsons / Fogarty

Very good win AGAIN

I would give Mabs a go as no1 ruck while Nank out, Soldo very average around the ground. Doubt we would lose much by this swap?.

Yes, General.
It's time to roll the dice on Chol and give him a run.

Yes, bring Bolton in for Higgins or Butler. But want to know more about this Nelson kid. Five snags in the VFL in what, his 2nd/3rd game? Looks promising.

But maybe we are all missing something. How good a coach is Fly? Just seems to get an amazing effort every time out of the VFL boys despite all the continuous line-up changes and very depleted team due to the club's surfeit of injuries.

I've never taken him that seriously. Could he be a consideration for Dimma's successor?

saw one pice of footage where he won the centre clearence and grabbed the footy and burst away. He has a nice turn of pace on him for a big man

Would be rated by many clubs.

gotta feeling the best coach at the club isn't the head coach of the senior team. reckon fly is a gun coach. would love him to take over from dimma when dimma winds up. hopefully we dont lose him before then
