Maybe rewarding George, Ross, Aarts, Hugo & Gibcus for good preseasons. Plus got Tarrant 2 rucks & Balta forward. One loss sees Aarts out. Still no VFL yet. See how they all go. I'm not writing off Stacky or RCD who knows? Long season. Need to see him play again. Gibcus might tire and Miller comes IN. But not good for Miller that Gibcus has gone past him

Round 2 - changes to the team. Richmond v GWS
- Thread starter year of the tiger
- Start date
Really 7? We have high draftees from privileged backgrounds that still do not have the required tank to play AFL after being in the system for yrs. And you want to punt Stackey?
AFL site reporting Grimes out of tomorrows game with injury.
Miller comes in.
Miller comes in.
Can’t get much worse, can it? Hopefully Miller can stake his spot and establish himself as a regular key defender.
This season just keeps getting worse, and it’s only 1 game in!
Not really. The reports have been that his ribs aren’t quite right, and they’re going to make sure that they are before including him. It’s similar with the concerns about Stack’s fitness levels.
I’m not sure I buy this. If the ribs aren’t right why play him in the VFL.
Yes, the AFL site confirms.
A major blow.
Like to see Bakes revert to his forte role as HBF, to sandbag our defence.
The Sydney midfielders destroyed GWS last week.
Parker and Heeney scored 8 goals.
GSW had 14-9 marks inside 50 but lost, would be a concern.

Bucks used to say shallow inside 50s hurt the attacking team.
Sydney hurt GWS on the defensive rebound last week.
Hope they play Bakes in defence, with so many of our stars out.

Yes, that is right, but Sydney is a better team than us as far as mids go.
Yes, we have lost a lot of talent by injury but our ins all have speed. Just noticed now that Miller is in for Grimes.
We are smaller across the ground, so I guess they will look to pressure and run the ball quicker. This is the main chance to topple GWS.
GWS mids are elite and are good ball users, they ain't the quickest, but give them enough time and they'll cut us up.
Hence why we have to play the pressure game and run hard.
Parker, we know he ain't the best of kicks but f we want to apply that criteria for all players a 3rd of the side wouldn't be playing.
He is in for his speed, aggression and pressure. Last week V blues we had one tackle in forward 50, they had 14. He also plays tall, once stack and RCD get up to speed in fitness I have no doubt they will come in.
Macintosh is a big in and he and Pickett will control the wings, and Dow just attacks the contest, looks quicker and shows more aggression well that's what I saw V cats at GHMBA stadium.
Grimes out hurts our back 6, however, GWS normally play 2 talls, Ricardi and Himmelberg and have Brander and Hogan on the bench. Perhaps they might try and stretch us with Grimes out and play a 3rd tall (enter Hogan).
