Changes v Skunks

Peoples calling for Short to be dropped, won't happen. 20 disposals, 7 score involvements, a goal and game-high metres gained for us.

I'm with TBR on this - Short is a quality player and those who think he isn't are looking at his game the wrong way.

Bloody hell. Get off Rioli’s back. (Those who want him out) He’s the only bloke in the forward line who doesn’t needan afternoon nap and can shrug off the walking frame to chase… fast and with intent. He looks like he’s doing circles because he’s covering for up to 3 slow/non chasers at once. I’ll concede that I did spot dusty chasing in the first half but crikey, Jack looks like his hip replacements have seized up and cotch (god bless im) has no zip. So over to you coaches.

Yes he had a very effective game last week.he looked super focussed.
 
Ticketek have released some standing room tickets for Friday. I just snagged some about half an hour ago. I just checked again and there are still some available.

If you want a ticket, jump on now. We will be outnumbered on Friday night, so the more of us, the better.

Short was good and I reckon out of our side only he, maybe Balta, would’ve had the depth on their kick to get that one over to top to Dusty

Reckon Sonz played to outside n didn't achieve much while the Cummerbund unfortunately pretty much stunk it up at magoos level today. Wouldn't consider either for the Colonwood game.
Cumberland wasn’t great offensively but I think the coaches will look at the 6 tackles and be happy with that. After all, we know what he can do offensively
 
If Dusty is out, Cumberland is capable of playing that role.

MRJ must play, no drama there.

Replacement for Broad is tricky. Does Tarrant come back in and Dylan and Vlastuin shuffle down? That's the best outcome.

If not, maybe Mansell goes back and Clark or Sonz sub it up.

I’m a massive Short fan but funnily enough I thought he was quite poor in a couple of contests on Saturday.

He is prone to this, but coupled with his weird role on the forward flank, has me a bit flat on him right now.
 
Although Miller had a sub standard game in the 2s he is the logical replacement for Broad. I'd even look at Banks. Kid just doesn't get fazed. Have him ahead of Ralphsmith who is a panic merchant.
Alhough i'm against him anywhere near the seniors I'd be giving Mansell a game this week with the sole purpose of smashing and shutting down Nick Daicos. He carved up Port as he was let loose.
Cotchin and JR need to make way but wont unfortunately. Those bagging Cumbo for a quite game need to look at the coaches first. Why they are putting him back into the midfield is beyond me. To teach him what??? The kid looked like a serious forward last year but now to cover Cotch, Jack and Martin's one pace and lack of pressure he is being forced to learn a new role. Look how well that has worked out for Ross and Balta's move up forward. Just let the kid play where he was flourishing. Yeah will have a few quite ones and obviously needs to learn a thing or two but let him learn it where he is best suited. Will kill the kids confidence with these stupid positional moves. Can add Mansell to that. He will never be a small forward. Is only good as a tagger/small defender.

I see that as the MC just trying to find a place for him in the team. Realistically he is suited to the Rioli role but Daniel just does it much better. Should be in the 2's as a back up to D.Rioli

Don't worry Fly your bad time will come.....probably sooner than expected. Don't suck too hard into the ferals....

Meh, he knows the truth. If you have to convince your own supporters that you are the most passionate, then you’re basically admitting that you need your own fans to lift their game. Inferiority complex.

McCrae is getting a bit carried away. He should calm down, he is like a brand new puppy. All excited.
Someone needs to remind him he is coaching a club that has lost 32 GF's. The club that no's how to lose.
Not sure if he had shiit in his ears in 2017 but that was 90k+ Richmond supporters in the house.Screenshot_20230327_100230_Samsung Internet~2.jpg

Quite a few headaches for the MC with the likely omission of Broad, possibly 4 weeks being a Tiger, Dusty and Hopper, both apparently injured.
Without them I very much do not favour our chances, no matter who they bring in.
All of those mentioned on here are at best fill ins, and not up to the standard of our possible exclusions

If this crap continues with Cumbo not being allowed to play as a forward and we’re picking a battler like Mansell ahead of him
I can see Cumbo requesting a trade end of 2023
