I think Ross has cemented the other wing. I would have liked Dow to play today.

Richmond vs Hawks in Tassie

Yeh but that first 3 Qtrs we would've whipped most teams. Slick passing, excellent run and carry, hitting up short passes etc
Last quarter you could see they didn't want too much body contact, top players rested and basically, the hawks had to salvage something from the scoreboard and kicked a few late to make it look respectable.
You seriously need to watch that game again in regards to Balta.
He was terrific, 19 disposals, 3 goals and took some very strong marks.
He was without a doubt our best forward.
Bake's is on the way to being our Robbie Gray. Maybe slightly less class but tougher and looks like he can play anywhere.
Nah we just brain Walsh at the first bounce then Sweep the leg on Cripps at the second.
Sorted

Very little to take out of that game you’d think. Hawthorn is rubbish. Bottom 4 at least and the spoon is not beyond them. Also had their 2 best mids out.
Our first quarter was good but after that it was meh. For me our foot skills are our biggest concern. The way the game is played now I’m not sure we have enough players with elite foot skills.
Not sure what Castagna brings now. The stand rule has made his pressure almost obsolete and don’t think he brings enough with the rest of his game. He had a couple of shots at goal today that went nowhere near it. Wouldn’t have him in the side in round 1. But no doubt he will be there though.

Sorry Ridley but that assessment is far from the mark. Yes Hawks are rubbish but we moved the footy the best we have since winning the premiership back in 2020. We have tweaked the game plan to short kick from the back half and once we get to the middle our forward play gets into overdrive.
As for Castsgna he is not solely that forward pressure player. He pushes much up the ground. Almost playing like a winger. But most importantly he is still getting on the scoreboard. I could be wrong but he has kicked a couple of goals each game so far. Not sure what more you want from the bloke.
He looked good and will get some support when Mitchell and O’Meara are back in the midfield.
Doesn’t say much for the rest of Dawks players when the kid is their best.
