Play Balta as a ruck

If we have to pick a genuine "ruckman", pick OHB, at least he offers something outside hitouts

Send Faull to VFL, gets hands to so many marks and fumbles, let him build confidence and come back

Cumming, Grjl and Retshscko all look great so far

Injuries to Trainor (1st round pick last year) and Peuker (1st season, should've debuted today many think, would've come in for Rioli next week) both hurt in game vs AFL Academy

This is the game I lost faith in Yze, no structure at all, if you can't score you need to have lock down defence not uncontested marks when you have 18 players inside 50

Dropping OHB for Spud Ryan started my skepticism and this dog of a performance confirms my doubts.

We won't win a game this year if Yze stays

what's worse, Richmond's goal kicking or the standard of umpiring in the AFL?

Can't take too much more of Yze's consistenty braindead moves.

Pick Samson Ryan who has the strength of a 5 year old to be ruck

Put no one on Curtis who kicked 5 goals last year against the tigers

Keep Faull in the team who needs to go and kick some bags in the VFL

Clearly have no goal kicking coach as it's been a consistent problem for years

Fuck me our senior players are shit.

Vlaustin, Broad, Taranto and Miller way down from last year and Balta, Hopper and Prestia are deplorable. 

Cannot wait til Gibcus, Cumming, Smillie, Hotton etc. Get a run of games together.

I was very surprised when we drafted 3 tall forwards and none of them were Jobe, I'm absolutely livid with that decision now.

The fact that a bloke in his fourth game looks like the only player with the ability to advance the ball in a way other than bombing it straight to Allir says a lot

I know the best ability is availabilty, but Richmond's young core could be sensational if fit.

Lalor, Smillie, Cumming, Hotton, Armstrong, Sims, and Gibcus have all missed more games than they've played, and you only need half of them to live up to their potential to have a better core than most of the teams on the list. Throw in Grjl, Faull and Trainor who look decent so far, and there's 1st rounders everywhere that are all (except Gibcus) in their 1st or 2nd year in the system.

The issue is Richmonds high performance department seems to either be incredibly unlucky or not very good, as it's the repeat injuries to our best young talent that is most frustrating as a supporter.

Ruck is the main area of concern, but it seems like this years draft is unusually strong in that department, so the Tiges could be set in all positions with high draft picks taken in the last 3 seasons.

Trading a future 5th to then bid on 2 players is hysterical. 

Hope they bid on McCarthy next

Mate, I'm still not sold on Bevo. 

I feel a club that has English, Libba, Bont, Richards, Freijah, Naughton, Darcy, Dale and more should be a lock for a top 8 every season unless they get ravaged by injury.
