Full disclosure, I’m not a fan. However, since getting a taste of AFL football he’s gone back to VFL level and essentially doubled his output and become a dominant midfielder. Can’t ask for much more than that.

Don’t think he’s a VFL player anymore. He’s taken the step up. Should have been picked to play Friday night.
Yep time to get him levelled up especially for 2022, get more games into him GC is perfect
It is amazing what a bit of exposure in the big league can do to a kid. Sometimes it can break them and other times it makes them. RCD has certainly shown us he is part of our future so we need to give him more games in the firsts to continue his apprenticeship with our current stars and watch him overtake them next season.
One of those times where in hindsight missing promotion was actually a great result.
Absolute must play the rest of the way. More convinced than ever this kid shouldn't have been dropped.
Had 3 x18 possession games in limited game time before a slow night against the Bombers in a win.
We must get games into him ASAP. Building block for the future.

Really really like the fact he’s been unlucky enough to go back to the VFL , yet has won plenty of the footy , which was not his strength , however it shows his work rate is lifting . If the MC do bring him back I’d like to see him play as an inside mid and the Skip gets a bit of easy ball outside, maybe across half back or even a burst or 2 on the wing.
Play RCD now and for the future

I don’t follow closely enough , however did RCD have a tagging role on Rowell last night ? Seem to be near him a lot ? Did a good job if he did
Rowell went with Dusty if he was there, then at other times it seemed to be Rowell vs RCD.
It was an interesting contest. RCD needs much more percentage play, especially with where he stands at stoppages
I think we can carry one mid who is slow to defend but our clearance woes have a lot to do with Martin, Cotchin, and to lesser extents Bolton and RCD not being able to transition when we don't win the clearance. I lost count of how many times Touk Miller waltzed away from a stoppage.
He did spend a large time on Rowell. Cotchin was on Miller and Martin on occasions. Miller ran rings around both. It was only in the last quarter when Graham went to him where he was stopped. Only had 4 touches in the last quarter.
Touk Miller is one of the most underrated players in the comp. Destroyed our mids.
As for Riley? Give him more responsibility in the middle.

In the last RCD got the ball at half back and burst down the middle with it. His tall gangly run looked slower than it was but he covered good distance with some confidence.
That's a glimpse of the future. RCD busting a pack an taking it 30 or 40m before having to release it.
I'm still very confident RCD is going to be a very good player.
