Re: Round 14: Pre-Game Richmond Reply #45 – June 22, 2017, 11:00:05 am Quote from: Professer E – on June 21, 2017, 05:17:43 pmA decent game from Byrne and he'll get a gig.I was very disappointed when he did his knee last year. A good replacement for Simmo when he hangs 'em up. Has a nice kick, and finds a way to get through traffic with a bit of dash. Can't wait to see him back, and I think the only question will be his match fitness and confidence. Our back half looks very nice for the next several years. Hopefully that allows one or two to move towards the wing. Thinking of Williamson and maybe Doc. Having such a strong defensive unit with attacking flair in a way helps our midfield. Teams don't usually want to take too much class and run out of their back half to bolster the midfield, but we have the luxury of quite a few to choose from. One more blue chip mid (Kelly I'm hoping), and a flanker moving to the wing, and keep Gibbs, and suddenly our midfield starts looking strong too. Then it's just the fwd line, which TBH is still looking no better than previously, and is still putting a lot of hope on McKay. Maybe Charlie Boy will turn out so good he's a gun centre half fwd, and SOJ a good reliable third tall, Wright released from so much midfield time he can have a regular impact fwd, and Pickett living up to his potential as a defensive fwd and goal sneak. Then it's just a full fwd we need, and maybe McKay will do a good enough job in that role. Based on that hopeful assessment, I think we're closer to having all the pieces than we dare to dream.

He is definitely AFL quality, I'm just not sure about being AFL ready just yet, I reckon another week in the VFL will do him good. Quote Selected

Re: Round 14: Pre-Game Richmond Reply #56 – June 23, 2017, 08:16:30 am It's a worry when selections appear not to be following form.It started with Boekhorst a few weeks back, had been playing well, then played possibly his worst for 2017 and got promoted! Can't say Pickett or Smedts deserve a run based on recent games. Kerridge and Graham are both getting plenty of football and that is a better sign than guys who show a quarter here and there. But to replace Williamson it seems White is the man in form.Suggests this weekend our team structure will be very different from recent games. Quote Selected
Re: Round 14: Pre-Game Richmond Reply #57 – June 23, 2017, 08:49:47 am I must say I look at that listed Richmond line up for Sunday's game and can only think - pretty darn ordinary team (Dusty and Riewoldt aside).....If we bring our new found 'consistent' level of intensity and dare I say it better ball usage, we'll win very comfortably.

Re: Round 14: Pre-Game Richmond Reply #59 – June 23, 2017, 12:13:11 pm This will be a terrific test for our on-field leadership as the Tiggers will no doubt put plenty of time into Docherty, Simmo and Gibbs, which means Murphy, Cripps and other younger mids (Boekhorst, Cuningham, ZF and Samo) are going to have to have a much bigger impact on the game than in previous weeks. And other defenders will have to pick up the slack should the Doc and Simmo be curbed. Quote Selected
