    Tom Campbell or Tim English would be good. Matty Boyd retired. A genuine small, quick forward. Bailey Dale for Clay Smith. Starting well. Intensity. Not bombing long to a small forward line.

      I'm assuming you mean in the 2nd half, not next week.
      It will be hard given a paucity of options, but we've got to minimise the amount of ruck time Dunkley & Jong get. Boyd has at least negated the hit outs to advantage Richmond were getting at stoppages.
      We need someone up forward who can bring the ball to ground if they don't mark it. Could Adams stay back and Fletcher Roberts go forward or is he too slow on the transition?

          We probably have to keep Adams up forward to see if he can snag a goal for us.

            Any chance Picken could follow Dusty around in the second half? He's strong enough to body him & isn't the worst defender for when Dusty goes forward?

                Possible Adams back and Zaine forward/2nd ruck, but Adams has been our only semi forward target. I think it's more a lift in intensity and composure.

                  If we keep bombing it, rance etc will just continue to read the ball and out mark our fwds. Our running half fwd flankers like Dunkley, Jong etc don't have the skills to hit a stringer on the chest....it's going to take running goals past the 50 for us to score with the likes of Picken, bonts and Jj (I'd play half fwd next quarter)
                  I will never see #16 the same!!

                    I dont think we need to make many changes, more raise the intensity and lower the eyes going forward. No more bombing to midgets.

                      Gee Hunter has been horrid by foot and by hand. He might be due a spell in the 2nds.

                            On the positive Wood has been great since the first 5 minutes and Boyd's hit outs to advantage have been fantastic.

                                Easton Wood has been our best player.
                                I'm also considering turning this off because it's not enjoyable in any way
