The summer snippet clip on RFC re: Mansell talks about exactly that, he's been working on doing that all summer. That'll be his role

Training For Redemption in 2022
- Thread starter caesar
- Start date
I do as well and really like his talent and did so since before he was drafted , He is still a little too outside but im hoping in time his inside game will develop more and can be a good balanced mid/fwd
Im hoping he will become a similar type of player to Cam Guthrie
Daniel Rioli off HB was interesting.
Clearly the preferred player to go to from defensive setups. He went ok but missed a few targets he really should have hit which was a bit disappointing.
At this stage he's no certain Houli replacement (no easy feat) but I'll cut him some slack as it was the first hitout. Actually thought Ralphsmith looked more dynamic off the backline but need to see more.
I think these small defensive roles are still up for grabs between Rioli, Short, Mansell & Ralphsmith. The later two the more impressive in yesterday's scratch match.
Unfortunately Dan's namesake in MJ had very little influence yesterday.

I agree on Riolis game yesterday however his sample size in actual games from last year has me a little more confidence moving into the season. Ralphsmith looked lively but his kicking is questionable.
Broady looks ready for another big year - thought he looked super. Caddy is the interesting one - thought he was very good to as a fwd.

Kick-In Tactics
Something I noticed in the game yesterday that also bothered me last season.
It seems our preference is too kick short to the pocket and then to a contest.
I just wish that from time to time that we'd take the 20m -25m on offer and kick long to the wing.
Anybody else got thoughts on this?

there seemed to be a set play to go to Danny?
Danny and/or Melee have released Bakes forward,
which is a helluva release.
If Noah does play forward, we'll hopefully encourage him to play the roaming Nick Reiwoldt role,
catch the exit kick,
and roost it 60m to bakes
I haven't watched all of the replay, just some of the 1st quarter.
I was surprised when I saw RCD because some have posted here that he is still a stick but he looks much bigger in the chest and shoulders to me. Not easy to see but that was my impression.

Agree Sin. RCD has definitely put on size. No longer looks like a kid just out of the under 18’s.
Agree with all that from yesterday.
Long term I'm not concerned about Dan's ball use, as I thought his kicking was great last year when he went back.
We've played against Towner for 2 years already. Are Southport are in the VFL? If so,Richmond will play against him for a 3rd year
Mansell played on Kosi Pickett last year. And Bailey for Lions. I think Mansell's great and in my best 23.
Was Caesar even there? Sounds like he’s broadcasting from the belly of sweatheart the giant Croc at the Darwin museum.
If RCD could do that for his entire career he would be in Dusty territory.
Thought he fitted in well. Looked like he played a lockdown role on Balta early and kept him very quiet. Only when Balta was moved up the ground away from Tarrant did he get some ball.
