Nicko

like it or not You’d think Tomlinson would have to be the medi sub in front of melksham, JVR and hunt

a bit more versatile if a tall or a small goes down during the game 

Jackson officially ruled out (afl website)

Dees might give a rookie spot at year end to young Jack Bell from Casey.  Given Daw is retired, need a young ruck development player on the books. 

Agree he’s looked pretty hood for Casey the last couple of games 

After Clarry’s news yesterday the Headline I’d like to see today please…..

”Another demon for life - Angus brayshaw signs up for the long term”

Gave me goosebumps!! So happy he has committed to the Dees for so long 

congrats to the club for getting this done ❤️💙

He looks so happy at the Dees - I can’t see him leaving

“Asked after Thursday night’s win over Brisbane — in which Brayshaw starred in with 29 disposals — whether he’d remain at the Demons next year, Brayshaw told CODE: “I bet you’d like to know. I’m conscious of not giving everyone the headline. But I love the club, I love my teammates. That’s something that will take care of itself.”

He won't be coz he will get 1 week so he can play against us. And who do they play next week ?

Exactly …. 🦘🦘🦘

Has to be four week. Prestia out this week and next week, elbow to the head. Was knocked out on the ground by an elbow after the ball went well by. Didn’t need to do anything. If the AFL is serious you have to rub him out for twice what he cost the guy playing the ball.

That’s exactly what should happen but the sceptic in me says he’ll get one week - just enough time to freshen up before we play them the following week…. 

Multiple weeks for Stewart 

No changes necessary for this coming weekend ☺️

Early call, but could see us drafting the ruckman - Bell. 

I like the look of him too - I thought he played really well against the filth in the wet the other week as well

Out: Chandler and Turner

In: Dunstan and May  

Out : chandler, turner and max

in: Dustan, May and Weid (if Bell was on our list I’d bring him in - he looked good, at least on TV he did, for Casey last weekend) 

I reckon we finish fourth after home and away - I think we will make the prelim but not the GF

Purely for context.

Richmond 2019
3 losses during  Round 11,12,13

2nd halves

Opposition= 9.2+9.4+13.4 = 31.10

Richmond = 3.5+3.3+4.8 = 10.16

Needed to read that… thank you EO

Out: Chandler and Turner

In: Dunstan and May

An excellent presser from Goody.  Very balanced and unemotional, didn't shy away from issues of the week.

Thought he did a great job also….now for our footy to do the talking on Monday!

The other option Nicko ... play Hunt & Hibbo.

Hibb covers the most dangerous small which he's done successfully before. 

Hunt plays on the next small-medium/quick forward who might not need such close checking.  This frees him up to get off the leash a little to hopefully provide a bit more line breaking run off HB on the counter?

That would mean sacrificing someone else.  Hec i'll be strung up for suggesting this but that would probably be Bowser 😬  (and no im not suggesting we should minions... just a bit of hypothetical nonsense here)

Love the option

also love how it when we can post without hating on each other’s options….👍🏻

I’m a big advocate for keeping our defensive six together 

may (miss him when he’s not on the ground)

lever (plays do much better when May’s in the team)

Petty (his importance to our defensive structure  is so important)

salem (will be better next week after his first run since round one)

bowey (will get his poise and drive back when Salem, lever, petty and may are back together again) 

hibberd/hunt (fight it out for the last position in the back six and come in/out of the team depending on match ups)

So….I like petty back rather than forward 

3 hours ago, Demon Dynasty said:

I think horses for courses here.  He is likely to take Hunt's position if he does come in.   But lets look at the opp when selecting.  For example if/when we play Freo again.... who covers Fredrick?  Cant see Hibbo keeping up in this particular match up.

so I'd be going to Hunt here but he needs to be in tip top form to go with him.  If he goes back to Casey does that hinder or help his him i wonder?  Maybe neither and all's well and he gets the call up for match ups like this for Hibbo.  Probably talking gobbledygook (nothing new!) but no harm discussing.

Great post….I think hunt’s done an admirable job this year in an essentially new role for him but I think we’ve lost a little drive out of our full back line with him seemingly being solely focussed on a lock down role…..hibberd may give us a bit of both??

Hunt could be a better match up for Ginnivan than what hibberd may be but hibberd could be a better match up for de goey or hoskin Elliot? 
 

Or maybe I just like the romance of getting our premiership defenders back together again??

Our biggest problem all year imo has been a lack of stability in our backline. We need to our premiership backline together and fit. Once Salem Petty Lever May are back playing together each week and are fit /in form we will look like a different team

And add a fit hibberd to that mix (his experience would be invaluable atm)
