Ooze has explained the reason for debuting as sub as he wants the player to calm their nerves by feeling the atmosphere before running on field. Not sure if it really works, but....
Blight will play it looks like.
Blight and Hopper in for lynch and Martin. Cumberland might get a reprieve or play as a sub.
The only options to come in for Cumberland are Bauer, Banks, Smith or Trezise imo as they have shown some form in the vfl. Maybe Bauer might be a chance as he can play as a 3rd tallish forward.
We could just name him sub and have him sit on the bench all game. The results don't matter anywayNow that Dusty has made 300, can he put his name down on the team sheet as Pickett to get him to his 100 this year?
Was it Cumberland who debuted in Sydney and never got on the ground because he was a late call up and had played most of a VFL game the same day ?Ooze has explained the reason for debuting as sub as he wants the player to calm their nerves by feeling the atmosphere before running on field.

Yeah, he didn't play but maybe because he was a medical sub where we had no injuries.Was it Cumberland who debuted in Sydney and never got on the ground because he was a late call up and had played most of a VFL game the same day ?
And then being sub again and again?Ooze has explained the reason for debuting as sub as he wants the player to calm their nerves by feeling the atmosphere before running on field. Not sure if it really works, but....

Nah Dusty’s playing against Freo. Didn’t you hear the question Jack asked him out on the ground after his 300th?Reckon Martin plays this week. Its either 2 games at the G or travel to Freo and Port over the next 4 weeks. He's far more likely to be playing at the G than at Optus and Adelaide Oval IMO.
Reckon this week its out Lynch and Cumbo and In Hopper and Blight with Balta moving forward
The 1 thing that needs to be sure to happen, is that McAuliffe cannot be the sub again. Either he gets a full game at AFL or VFL level.
We all heard that. Did Jack forget we were playing Carlton after the bye???Nah Dusty’s playing against Freo. Didn’t you hear the question Jack asked him out on the ground after his 300th?

Do u think really think that Dow and Sonsie could do better than Bolton Rioli and Taranto.They would get absolutely monstered
If Dow plays, Cripps, Kennedy, & Hewett especially will brush him off even more so like a feather. It will be next level embarrassment, a potential career ruiner for him. If I were him, I'd drop myself.Do u think really think that Dow and Sonsie could do better than Bolton Rioli and Taranto.
Don’t chase and won’t tackle.
Congrats to Blight. So looks like Balta forward.![]()
Debut delight for Blight
Thirty-two days after being signed by Richmond in the Mid-Season Rookie Draft, Jacob Blight will make his AFL debut.www.richmondfc.com.au
Can't see them being selected. Looking a bit like Hopper & Blight in and Lynch and one of Sonsie, Cumbo, Dow, McAuliffe out.Banks and Smithyyy also in.
We're obviously trying out most of the kids for the rest of this season.
I really think Blight has to play otherwise what's the reason making an announcement like this and for him to his family if you're just stuck as emergency?? Seems a bit stupid from the club if this happens.Can't see them being selected. Looking a bit like Hopper & Blight in and Lynch and one of Sonsie, Cumbo, Dow, McAuliffe out.
Banks and Smithyyy also in.
