Weitering, Kerridge and Wright in too, and maybe Phillips as 2nd Ruckman.

Liking Byrne as well hope he can get a run very soon, I am sure there will be a serious turnover in the first 2 months. As well as a serious clean out at the end of the year as well, that will be interesting, many are playing for there pay packet in the early rounds, and no performance there papers might be stamped

Agree on the mids, if we dont dominate in the middle then they will win as their forward line is more potent, we need to keep it away from Reiwoldt and crew...if its 50/50 out of the middle then we will lose IMO..
Big game needed from Kruezer...
That said if we could get the ball to Levi one on one with Rance, Levi will simply monster him - and is better in the air in any event. 6cm taller, probably 10-12cm in reach and arguably 10kg heavier. i'd back Levi in 8 times out of 10.
The problem has been that by the time the ball gets down there Levi is one on two or three - maybe Fev could occasionally beat that but Levi is a young fish yet to fully blossom.

Trick to this whole game will be to lower our eyes and hit the likes of Everitt, Walker and whoever else plays forward as the bomb will be what Richmond expect and feed right into their hands.
They are not a great side across the park and rely on playing their way to win and denying them that it will get them nervous in rd 1 again and we have a shot as we should a lot of ball from the middle.

Agree 100%. We must go cold turkey on the long dumb bomb - if we are going to use bombs they must be smart ones!

Richmond have more depth and are far more settled as a team.
They have a better forward line and a better defense.
Our midfield would have to do it all. But we do have Cripps.

Exactly, bombing when they have numbers back will be a sin as they will spoil, rebound and peel off and have us sucked up the ground too far. Bombing is fine occasionaly when you can put 1 or 2 of their defenders under real man on man pressure and have someone like Everitt coming across and marking etc.
Re: 2016 - Rnd 1 Carlton vs Richmond - Thryleon - 03-19-2016
If we want to work on our game plan then we need to play at least one preferably two true key position sized forwards.
Levi will be one.
The other has to be Liam Jones on his three goal effort.
Have to reward results even if he is crap.
We have the following key position forward options.
Gorringe
Casboult
Jones
Jaksch
Plowman
McKay
Sosos
Of that lot most are unproven, one looks capable (Casboult) and the other is Jones.
We go Jones and Levi until others get fit and oust them from our team IMHO.
Re: 2016 - Rnd 1 Carlton vs Richmond - Robblues - 03-19-2016
I would rather McKay in plaster & crutches that Jones on the field.
