Or maybe coaches make choices based on what they think is best for the team, and for individual players?
im sure it is one of those option, but not sure which.

Richmond small forwards are on a hiding to nothing with our game plan. Apply pressure and form a ring inside forward 50 to trap the ball in.
No crumbing, no snapping goals off the pack, and no creativity.
We burnt Butler, Castagna and DRioli due to the unrewarding nature of the role.
MRJ and Mansell probably ideal for the roll as they don’t offer a skill set for much more

Pretty sure all of those burnt sausages and chops managed to kick a few goals during their time forward. Maybe you need to do a google search n find out how many premierships they were unrewarded with in that time as well.
Butler offensive work definitely dropped off at the Tigers. Towards the end he was letting oppo take the ball before him, so he could tackle.

Butler took a fair while to recover from that ankle syndesmosis injury. I was & remain a fan & was disappointed when he left. Just out of contract at the wrong time.
Very good player. That said we won two Premierships without him.
That he still has great relationships with many current Tigers says a fair bit about him. Be handy now that’s for sure.

I think that we all tend to forget that last year we had the highest scoring forward line in the league and that was built mainly on the 2nd half of the year.
The structure we had was two key forwards in Lynch and Riewoldt, a lead up marking midsize forward in Cumberland and a small pressure forward in Moju. That was complimented by players rotating through like Edwards, Bolton and Martin( although he was out for a while) and other mids.
That’s a great structure and we have a declining Jack, an injured Lynch and Cumberland and Moju not reaching 2022 heights. Bolton has played well for most of the year but he hasn’t kicked the goals he did in 2022 and is now playing a lot of mid time.
Going forward into 2024 we obviously need a replacement for Jack and a fit Lynch but we need either Cumberland or Bauer ( or both) and we need a small forward, whether that is Moju or someone else.
It’s there for the taking for someone.
Instead this year we have mids kicking goals.
Taranto Bolton Martin Hopper Short Graham (half forward mid)
Thats a super return from the onball gang.
But highlights tye hole left by our undermanned forward line
Mansel hould have come straight in at the expense of MJ, about time for JNR to prove his worth
Happy to try all 3 of em up forward. Nothing to lose.
Plenty of pressure acts and with Coulthard some creativity and craft.
I guess the match committee looking more at Mansell to play the short role and from what I saw today was playing more back and pushing up forward, played really well and is likely to come back next week v Hawks.
For MoJo he is playing that pressure forward role which has helped keep the ball in our forward 50. Obviously, the match committee value this as the ball had been coming out way too easily in prior games.
Nigel's been fringe at senior level and after four weeks without a game it's no surprise he was put into the magoos to have a run and get some touch before selecting him back at senior level.
Had himself a bloody good game, albeit at magoos level so he'd be knocking hard on the door to get his senior spot back. It's now up to Moju to pull his finger out and have more impact than just chasing arse if he wants to keep the senior spot ahead of Nigel.
Reckon Mj might kick a bag tomorrow. Mini might’ve told him ‘tomorrow your mission is to kick goals ‘
Certainly doesn't look great when you look it up !
2 goals round 1 and that's it ? Just doesn't seem right.
