Pick your best 22 - PART 2 - After the pre-season games

OK, well time to reevaluate.

We've seen most of the boys play a couple of pre-season games. Who is in your best 22 side now? Be very surprised if we end up with the same 22.

I've added Philp to the ineligible list and included Cincotta and O'Keefe as replacement players.

For the record, i'm aware there will be 23 players (22 plus a sub) but for traditions sake, we are sticking with a best 22.

My changes

OUT: C. Durdin, Owies, and O'Brien
IN: Cowan, Hollands and Motlop

Little bit more urgency, enthusiasm and x-factor.

STILL OUT: Plowman, TDK, Ed.

23rd man either Carroll or Pitto (I voted him in the 22 assuming we will play two rucks).
Moo and Dutchy in for me
Like Cincotta's toughness and kicking skills so he plays rnd 1 for mine.
3.5 new arrivals play in my side.
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

Cowan and Hollands really put their hands up, but it's only a practise game.

I think the makeup of the Richmond team is what we need to look at also when selecting players....you would be wanting to make sure Cowan, Cincotta for example didnt end up on the likes of Martin and Bolton down forward when rotations were on.
Its a different Tiger lineup this season with Cotchin also playing forward and we need to get every matchup spot on given we have a few defenders who like to play off their man and ball chase.

I had Carroll instead of Owies but same 22. I think Carroll showed way more than Owies the other night even with the limited time he spent on the ground.

No Walsh! :o

I'd have Walsh in the 22 with zero games even if he looked like this bloke!



Remember the new sub rule is in play, you can plan to give blokes just a quarter or two!

Hollands and Cowan to start on the bench and eased into the game at the right moments vs the right players. eg Dont want to see Hollands start on the wing and find Richmond are giving him Shai Bolton for company with a last minute switch.

I've got Martin starting in front of Durdin.
I've got Marchbank instead of TDK (with McG playing forward with SOS rucking backup)
Otherwise the same.

If McG plays forward let alone fit to play I will buy you slab of choice.
Can't see them take a risk on Walsh round 1
Last inj report Marchbank injured again so not sure about him either.

Didn't really consider Marchbank as I can't see him playing enough games as a regular senior player.
McGovern down forward is interesting and  I don't mind some left field thinking but I prefer him down back.
Martin needs to show me he is fit and firing and play a decent string of games back to back before I would consider him as a starter.
TDK and Pittonet is my preferred ruck set up with Jack used less in the backup role.

I chose a side for R1 from those available.

I think you’ve nailed it EB.

The only complication is the MC’s determination to rotate Docherty between midfield and defence.  That could mean an extra defender and one less midfielder/forward.
