I was happy to pick Taranto over Cogs and Rozee but I would never have picked him as F1 in a million years, but here he is, toe to toe with Dunkley.

Why do we think he's scoring so much better - is he getting punished less for his kicking because of Richmond's game style, or is there more to it?

Full time in the mid field probably helps, not hidden on half forward.

Just seems to be hunting the ball like no one else in the team at the moment, getting tons of touches.

Think this Richmond midfield is a bit better at positioning themselves to get his disposals. Better forwards at crumbing. GWS had a decent midfield while he was there, but he wasn’t the no.1 there plus the smaller forwards (barring Toby of course) were not all that much chop.

Ginbey and Johnson on the bench for me this week, not ideal, at least I have them I guess.
Strong team that you couldnt find room for either of them 😃
ive Got the E on Johnson and Ginbey is so far in the rearview mirror 🤣
