Yes. Maybe not the first month, but definitely after that. I'd love to see Sheehan get a run as well.

Our strength is the mid-field, Cripps, Graham, Kerridge, Murphy, Gibbs & E. Curnow with Kreuzer in the ruck gives us a strong basis to go forward. Richmond is very dependent on its mid-field and when you shut down Cotchin, as was done last year by North in the finals, they tend to struggle.
Our backline is adequate with Docherty, who I think is about to explode into the elite ranks, Touhy, Buckley and Simpson giving us plenty of run. Weitering makes us better but Rowe and Jamieson, while always giving their best will never regularly dominate their opponents. Plowman and Jaksch seem to have the pedigree to be better than Rowe and Jamieson and hopefully by the end of the year they will be the first choice key position defenders.
Our weaknesses last year was our forward line. We actually have a forward line but it is playing for other clubs. Lack of team cohesion, hopefully BB can fix that. A lack of outside run, looking at Boekhorst and some of the others we have recruited, I don't think it will such a problem. Our disposal, which continues to be a problem and it will be a test for BB
Long term I have high hopes for Harry McKay and Silvagni, who looks about a year away, but I think C Curnow is a mid-fielder. We need a rebuild.
Round 1 I think we will be competitive but can we kick enough goals to win. Other than Walker, no one has ever kicked six in a match. We need players who can regularly kick goals.

We had a few not long ago either. We gave them all away.

Murphy will be rusty as feck if he plays, Im still hearing he won't but hope he does.

Rowe's a big worry but just want another big bloke down there to take the heat off Casboult. He was the best I could find. They can both ruck too so don't need to pick a 2nd ruckman.

I think that is a pretty good guess laj. Pretty much how I would go also.
I like Rowe forward to start to get them on the back foot but if that doesn't work and if needed down back then make the move. But forward and relief ruck is the only way he stays in the team I think and I prefer him in that role to our other rucks to be honest.
Buckley forward is another one I really like and have been screaming for, has speed, good tackling pressure and a bit of agro which we need in our forward line. He brings x factor which our forward line lacks otherwise.
