Yep, he was pretty quiet against the Lions but I'd be backing him in.Ollie looked like a boy among men out there this week, got rag-dolled on several occasions, or easily bumped out of contests. He needs to use his greatest asset, run and carry, to greater effect.

Very promising imho.His downside WAS his awareness and decision making, he never had a problem winning the footy or commitment to the contest. He seems to have come up to the speed of the game now and I must say, Frid night he was impressive and showed his true potential.

Based on one of the assistant coaches giving him a hug
Carlos would provide more of a Jack Martin type forward ... but without Jack's footy smarts.

Need to ensure the midfield turns up for the first bounce. If we can get on top early it will take the pressure off the back line. Owies looked under done last week so Moir would be a good choice. Carroll in, Moir in and Owies to the substitute bench.

One of those games we should win comfortably.
Just to be a bit cautious though.
They have some strong inclusions.
They were terrible in the first half...a bit like us.
They played some good footy in the third, before the game became a much more even contest.
The emotional effort of our performance, the 'afterglow' and the toll that takes on a short turnaround is a bit of an unknown.

Skipper's birthday on Monday and I think I heard that Doc to be named as a life member on Monday also.....couple of big incentives for the club to notch up a win....not that we should need any incentives against Richmond who had the wood on us for a very long time.
If Moir comes in for Owies we still have small forward options with Fantasia, Cunningham, Fogarty and Cottrell all able to play that role while doubling up with some midfield minutes.

I'll be happy with another 1 point win, to bank the points, and to have no more injuries. Id expect Richmond to play a rough game and try and even up the talent difference with some sharp elbows and well placed knees....hello Toby Nankervis.
