half forward there are alot of one on one contests and he gets pushed off the ball too easily for now. I reckon he is 3-5kg of muscle away. He was getting chopped up by Saad, Ollie and Moo.

So Frank the Tank gets a game with his third club.

Just shows that you can’t have too many small forwards 😇

It will be interesting to see how Ollie, Jack and Kempy go in their new roles.  Regardless, it’s a formidable squad on paper and it’s great to see Lachie Cowan, Jesse Motlop, Ollie Hollands, Lucas Camporeale and Cooper Lord, all aged 21 or under, named in the team.
It's still the Gulf of Mexico, Don Old!

One glaring weakness... small forwards. Be interesting to see who kick the goals when we go forward, which should be often.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Just as long as everyone named is actually fit. A number of these guys haven't done much in the last couple of weeks! I reckon one of our Emergencies will play.
Live Long and Prosper!

Careful mate, you could setting yourself up for some humble pie if he fails to perform.

I'd have him starting as the sub and hope we don't cop an injury.

I think that he’ll be the sub too. 

Not really my first choice as sub but we’ve got more than enough versatility among the other 22 to cover any eventuality.

At least Frank applies defensive pressure and makes the most of his opportunities.

Looking at who is NOT on that team tells us a decent story.

There is 11 players unavailable due to injury.
Add to that Elijah and his 'mental health' and thats 12.

Players who have AFL experience and who are not picked in the best 23 (with games played)
Young (67)
Boyd (35) - deemed not fit enough it appears
Binns (3)
Moir (2)

Thats 107 games of experience on the sidelines

Everyone else is injured and/or yet to debut.

So kudos for Lucas getting a game, he deserved it.
Evans gets a gig as a newbie (although he has played 34 games which may surprise some)

But its pretty clear that if you are fit and have played a game, you basically get a spot in the side.

There's over 570 games of experience sitting in the rehab room across 7 players who you'd probably find a spot in the side for half of them if they were fit.

Newman
Cincotta
Elijah
Pittonet
Durdin

Suddenly i'm less confident about our chances this week as i don't really know who is missing from Richmonds side and if its similar or if they are much fitter.

Ashton seemed to run out of steam as the pre-season progressed.  I think that he’s a hell of a lot fitter than he was last season but he still has a way to go if he’s going to do more than the occasional cameo.

To repeat the point, with the discarding of Mathew Owes say 32 goals, Mathew Kennedy say 18 goals and Isiah Hollands unavailable say 15 goals, plus Jack Martin a few goals, we have to find others to kick about 70 goals per season. (ie. 3 goals per game)

Hopefully messers Austin and Agresta can weave their magic and find a gem in the rough mid season. However, not at all confident 2025 will see us in the top four.
