Changes v lolNorf

To paraphrase Homer Simpson this week:

"Good game, kids. Now its time for the easiest part of any coach's job. The cuts. Although I wasn't able to cut everyone I wanted to, I have cut a lot of you. Aarts is cut. Castagna is cut. Lynch, you're gone. Dow, I like your hustle. That's why it was so hard to cut you. Congratulations, the rest of you made the team! Except you, you and you."

In: Balta Cotchin Gibcus Vlastuin Cumberland, Ryan
Out: Soldo Dow Nankervis Lynch Aarts Castanga

But yes, this. Perfect.

Not RCD fault he doesn’t get a decent run when preference is given to George FAarts who have constantly failed

RCD should by now be smashing down the door with performances in the 2's but he simply isn't. He plays maybe a cameo role. He's just not that good, not sure if its desire or he just doesn't have the skill set but either way its not lack of opportunity that has caused him to fail.

RCD is simply no good. He has no footballing ability. He's a poor man's Jake Aarts.

He is the most kind blowing drafting failure I've seen at Richmond.

Actually not sure we need Miller with both Gibcus and Vlastuin back in.

So Miller out for another runner. Maybe Dow stays in.

And we've had quite a few...probably don't need to mention them again!

Big test for Dimma this week...does he have the agates to drop George or is he a protected species with our other injuries? I really hope the ears of both he and Short are red raw from a huge dressing down.

Hopefully (and doubt) he'd give George a dressing down. It wasn't a lack of effort or undiscipline (Short was the latter).

Reckon George would need an arm around him more than a bake - he will know his poor finishing was costly.

Giving him a roast will only heap more mental pressure on him.

He doesn’t need a roast, he just needs to be told if he doesn’t fix his conversion and decision making he won’t be in the team and that he can fix it and the club will help with whatever resources it can to fix it - but he needs to own it.

We need to move past George he can't execute the basics. Need to focus on giving time and development to the likes of Cumberland Stack MJ Clarke etc.

Mabior Chol had Two Phones and went on to achieve success.
Riley had Two Mums and ...
 
If we had players available I would love to see Short dropped for his senseless knocking of the ball out of Matt Rowell's hands. This lack of discipline needs to be squashed.
