Round 14: Pre-Game Richmond

[LP]

Based on the VFL Coaches reviews over the last few weeks, and bits and pieces I have seen, I'd have to say White is the most likely replacement for Williamson. Deserves a go based on form, can and does play both ends which could be very useful this weekend.

Yep White was the media choice for our best in the NB's(not mine) and as Krud pointed out White has also done the job on Martin before so plenty of good reasons to include him...reckon this game might get a bit willing given the Tigers/Hardwicks position and BB's like of the niggle so White might be handy in that area too...

Will be exposed. We need to go smaller not bigger.

[Professer E]

A decent game from Byrne and he'll get a gig.

I would go for Byrne for sure he is AFL quality.

I was very disappointed when he did his knee last year.  A good replacement for Simmo when he hangs 'em up.  Has a nice kick, and finds a way to get through traffic with a bit of dash.  Can't wait to see him back, and I think the only question will be his match fitness and confidence.  Our back half looks very nice for the next several years.  Hopefully that allows one or two to move towards the wing.  Thinking of Williamson and maybe Doc.  Having such a strong defensive unit with attacking flair in a way helps our midfield.  Teams don't usually want to take too much class and run out of their back half to bolster the midfield, but we have the luxury of quite a few to choose from.  One more blue chip mid (Kelly I'm hoping), and a flanker moving to the wing, and keep Gibbs, and suddenly our midfield starts looking strong too.  Then it's just the fwd line, which TBH is still looking no better than previously, and is still putting a lot of hope on McKay.  Maybe Charlie Boy will turn out so good he's a gun centre half fwd, and SOJ a good reliable third tall, Wright released from so much midfield time he can have a regular impact fwd, and Pickett living up to his potential as a defensive fwd and goal sneak.  Then it's just a full fwd we need, and maybe McKay will do a good enough job in that role.  Based on that hopeful assessment, I think we're closer to having all the pieces than we dare to dream.

I've tipped us for this one and from reading the coach's review of our last VFL outing would think White is every chance of being included.

He is definitely AFL quality, I'm just not sure about being AFL ready just yet, I reckon another week in the VFL will do him good.

Yep, White for Willo and maybe Palmer for Boekhorst.

Boekhurst needs to be given a few weeks go in the 1s after all most likely his last chance? he offers more than Palmer if he can turn it on....
