Richmond VFL V Scats game day

Awesome win. Gone at 3/4 time and then they cut loose. Cumberland, Stack and Aarts all have claims for a seniors berth

Stack, Aarts and Cumberland come in for Clarke, HRS & Prestia next week. Shedda the sub
 
Agree with many of you on Aarts. He was amongst the best last week too IMO.

I think, with us playing a slowish side next week in the Eagles, it could be time to play Cumbo next week. I have been wanting to see him in for a few weeks, but have been worried about his fitness/stamina.
I was wrong (again), and with the match ups next week, he prob deserves a game.

Aarts is a top shelf midfielder at the VFL level, he's just a touch slow / slow of mind in the AFL so struggles to take the step up, that little half second etc you get at VFL level is gold for him, but I reckon he's our best VFL midfielder and should play there all the time. He still played half this game forward as we try and accomodate RCD who frankly isn't showing why we should give him that credit.

Agree on Cumbo, I'd love both he and Stack to come in next week.

Ryan must also be close, playing good footy.

Best: Aarts, Stack, Cumberland, Mansell, George, Sonsie, Banks, Henderson, Martyn. Faimalo had a great last quarter. Aarts, Stack and Cumbo hauled us over the line. Loved Mansell's game down back, so tough.

Brown shows such class at times but a bit casual at others and not always fully committed at the contest.

Stack in for Edwards, and Cumberland for Clarke.

Hopefully Cotchin back for Prestia.

Great summary. Banks gut running got us going in the last. He is very likely type for next season.

Edwards could be the sub,? the club wants to (and I understand why), get him to 300.

If we play Cumbo, based on what we always do, he wont be the sub, he will be in the 22.

Considering how often the ball was coming in to the defensive 50 for 1st 3/4s, thought backline played well. Mansell back to his best, Martyn looks at home now and Brown did some good things.

Don't write off Colina, for his size and no pre season he is not slow, and was never outmarked. He also has endeavour and did not drop his head when beaten. A couple of preseasons and we can make a realistic judgement. For the time being just play him in a FP with lots of one on one training.

I wouldnt have a clue what the club needs - but just a wild guess.... I'd invest the full $500k extra in the soft cap on development coaches.
We have some good kids. Maybe not A graders you get from having Top 10 picks. But some of them arent too bad.

RCD Though... have been off RCD since 2020 and have tried to believe these last 2 years. But dont see it.

Aarts is doing what RCD should be doing at VFL level.
RCD. Once again a great first quarter. It’s a pity games don’t only go for 30 minutes. Couldn’t pick the ball off the ground in the second half and fumbled everything.

He just kept over running it as he couldn't pick the ball up off the ground.

Aarts and Syd best placed for promotion after that.

Riley and Dow underwhelming.

Cumberlands is pushing but his issue is he is more a Caddy and JR type and he aint replacing JR8.

We already know what Aarts can do in the seniors. Had plenty of opportunity. Not good enough. Good VFL player. That's it.

Unfortunately I don’t know anymore about RCD.

Spot open but … not the player I saw dominate and play really well in the 2019 VFL GF.

Can’t play the covid card much longer. Intensity, desire…

RCD and Dow are a concern.

Stack and Cumberland deserve promotion

Great last quarter from nothing.

Glad they held on. Rapt. A lot of young kids to work with and some have question marks on their futures.

Parker played well too.
