That said if we could get the ball to Levi one on one with Rance, Levi will simply monster him - and is better in the air in any event. 6cm taller, probably 10-12cm in reach and arguably 10kg heavier. i'd back Levi in 8 times out of 10.

The problem has been that by the time the ball gets down there Levi is one on two or three - maybe Fev could occasionally beat that but Levi is a young fish yet to fully blossom.
Would be great, as long as they play him closer to the square and give the mids etc a target, not have no one home when they breakthrough the ground

Richmond have more depth and are far more settled as a team.

They have a better forward line and a better defense.

Our midfield would have to do it all. But we do have Cripps.

Agree 100%. We must go cold turkey on the long dumb bomb - if we are going to use bombs they must be smart ones!

Exactly, bombing when they have numbers back will be a sin as they will spoil, rebound and peel off and have us sucked up the ground too far. Bombing is fine occasionaly when you can put 1 or 2 of their defenders under real man on man pressure and have someone like Everitt coming across and marking etc.

If we want to work on our game plan then we need to play at least one preferably two true key position sized forwards. 

Levi will be one.

The other has to be Liam Jones on his three goal effort.

Have to reward results even if he is crap.

We have the following key position forward options.

Gorringe
Casboult
Jones
Jaksch
Plowman
McKay
Sosos

Of that lot most are unproven,  one looks capable (Casboult) and the other is Jones.

We go Jones and Levi until others get fit and oust them from our team IMHO.

I would rather McKay in plaster & crutches that Jones on the field.

Jones is a proven failure at senior level so why would he be considered for selection. He needs to prove himself worthy over a protracted period in the VFL.
Reality always wins in the end.

He isn't a proven failure under Bolton.

Keep in mind his last two coaches were Mick Malthouse and McCartney.

Either way, we are looking at draft pick 1-8 at best this season.   More likely top 5.  Might as well let the team work out the role of the bloke playing key forward and worry about who it is next year.

Not a valid reason to play him, in fact, I don't think there is.
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Weitering must take Jack imo - simply don't think Jamo has it enough anymore ie skill, speed, ball/player awareness, aerially) to compete with a Jack R. in half decent or better form.

No way!  Weitering is still very much in the development stage and needs to find the pace of AFL football (don't take too much on NAB form). Just ease him into the whole process and he'll 'sprout' into an A Grader. We're a team in a hurry, but not THAT much of a hurry.  Jammo for mine.

Who else is there?  He kicked three goals in the vfl last week. Kerridge is the only one showing that level of scoring power thus far.

He might actually go alright under Bolton.   We have to play him.
