Understood that but imo Young would have to be the first choice replacement for him.

Oh definitely, I had Young in the 22 already. But I can see why we didn’t play him this week. Balta on Hawkins and I’d have Broad take Cameron and follow him all over the ground, otherwise we’ll lose him in transition. Apart from those two they’re a smallish forward line so makes sense for Young not to play this week
Dreamtime Captain's Run :
Not usually worth reporting from the Captain's Run but today I marvelled at a goal shoot out between Samson and Graham who continued their goal kicking for 15 minutes longer than anyone else.
The marvel component was they must have had 30 shots, I think Graham only missed one and Samson about three.
What I want to know is where was our sports scientist to ban them from having too many shots
, maybe more of our players should try it.

Great to hear. Maybe every player could benefit from repetition practice!! It works in most other sports.Dreamtime Captain's Run :

North lost one against the Crows by stuffing it up and Essendon blew a prelim for the same. As much as we are FARCED off, Lynch should have just kicked it last year.
Such a critical skill.

The following is from an article on the club website about Xavier Clarke which may explain some improvement in goal accuracy last game.
Roar Feature: Xavier Clarke
Assistant coach Xavier Clarke, who designed Richmond's 2023 Dreamtime guernsey with his family, spoke to award-winning sports writer Konrad Marshall ahead of this year's Dreamtime at the 'G match.
Is there a simple answer to why the season has been plagued with inaccuracy in front of goal?
He says there are positive plans afoot to address the issue, such as a recent goal kicking competition started by Kane Lambert only a few weeks ago. Every player is matched up against another player, and throughout the week, pair by pair, they’ll play off against one another in a kick off. Ten set shots each on goal, the most goals wins. If they’re tied after 10, a sudden death shootout determines the winner, who goes through to the next round - like March Madness for sharpshooters.
“At the end we’ll have the best goalkicker at the club. And the losers progress into the challenge cup, too, so you can actually be the best worst goalkicker at the club,” Clarke says. “A forward really doesn’t want to lose against a backman. A midfielder really doesn’t want to lose to a ruck. It adds this layer of competition and pressure, but also fun.”
People stand on the sideline watching and cheering (or jeering). Kamdyn McIntosh will pretend he’s on his phone answering a call - anything to distract. The hardest fought win happened only a few days ago. Josh Gibcus was up against Sam Banks after training, and both slotted 8 goals from their first 10 shots. Then they each kicked 7 more goals straight, until one of them finally missed. “It was Gibcus - I wasn’t expecting that,” says Clarke. “It was quite funny watching that one unfold. They were the last two out there, with only the coaches watching. You could just see the pressure build.”

Something I've been doing while coaching kids basketball for over 20 years...
Maybe that’s when Josh done his hammy hahaThe following is from an article on the club website about Xavier Clarke which may explain some improvement in goal accuracy last game.

No shame if you lost goal-kicking to Samson but Graham prevailed just, absolutely he is one of our best shots on goal, this was just an un-official shootout but neither wanted to lose.

Kane Lambert initiated a goal kicking competition/tournament with the entire playing group.
my experience with low grade footy and juniors
was when someone would combine fitness , a skill or both with a fun element
that team would invariably head in the right direction
and the fact they could do something like the goal kicking exercise despite their ladder position is a good sign

Exactly. Making it fun is the key.
Hopefully that translates on field by being relaxed & calm.
