Always Right Match Committee Round 9 vs Richmond

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 9 vs Richmond

not sure I love Richards in the middle. I know he played ok v the saints but did anyone hear the Champion Data guy on sen speak about him the other day? Apparently he is rated the 6th best defender in the league.

Yep I listened to that. Daniel Hoyne from Champion Data suggests this magnet hasn't been effective for us and that it would be better if Ed was moved back to the half back line.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 9 vs Richmond

You mean that Champion Data guy who has admitted he doesn’t even watch the games? The guy who went on national radio and tried to say that Jordan Boyd is the best kick in the AFL?

That guy is a total dork.

I have to say it's a slight concern that Freija is debuting in a position I don't think he's played at all at VFL level. I know it's his draft position but his form that we're rewarding is as a defender.

Completely agree.

This is obviously predicated on Freijah playing on a wing, but we've also gone and recruited Caleb Poulter and Oscar Baker, Bailey Williams mostly plays wing, as has Gallagher, Caleb Daniel spent a lot of pre-season playing wing/outside mid...and we've picked a bloke who's been learning defensive craft on a half back flank at Footscray to (most likely) player there.

Super happy to see Freijah play, he's been our best performing half back in the twos, but I want to actually see him play in the position where he's earned his senior debut.

I think squeezing Cleary in as well, with the plethora of half backs we currently have running around, was a pretty strange move. And that's even with Ed Richards playing inside mid ahead of Garcia and Sanders.

Bevo's gonna Bevo. I've seen games where he has selected 3 genuine rucks and other games where he has selected zero (we won both games by the way).

Trying to decipher the Bevo modus operandi is not without its complications. At least he has selected clearly in-form players and dropped/benched those who are out of form.

Feels like we used to always try to squeeze heaps of half back flankers in, so maybe it's a return to form of sorts.

Richmond FC

Noah Cumberland will replace Liam Baker (corked leg) in the team for tomorrow night’s match against the Western Bulldogs.

Steely Green has been added to the squad of 26 as an emergency.
