Ricky didn't have his own thread, and given there has been a bit of talk about him I thought I'd start one up. Ricky has obviously shown a lot off promise in his time at the mfc but has not been able to cement a spot. I think we'd all agree he can play when on song but he is inconsistent. For me, I think one of Ricky's strengths, his strong marking for his height, is also his biggest weakness. Ricky needs to play as a small forward, a crumber. He is surrounded by taller players, yet he is inevitably the one who tries to go up instead of staying front and centre. I'm not saying that he shouldn't use his marking; it is a dangerous weapon when one out or when you have a clear sit, but in pack situations he should be playing the crumber role. Add to that his forward pressure and courage I can see him making it, but of he doesn't adjust that aspect of his game he will continue to struggle.

Came on as substitute in the final quarter of the opening round and starred but had a quiet patch and spent some time in the VFL before returning to play some productive football. Still has plenty of room for improvement. Games MFC 2011 15 MFC Total 50 Goals MFC 2011 18 MFC Total 55 Games CSFC 2011 5 Goals CSFC 2011 8
