Discussion 2022: Round 1 Teams & In Game Discussion

[OnTopBar]

You don’t think Gibcus and Vlastuin can co-exist without Grimes?

All depends on how long the Balta experiment lasts, by all reports the coaches are pretty happy to have Balta forward. Tarrant has come in to replace Astbury, Gibcus replaces Balta, Short and Rioli take up the Houli slack.

Gee I'm looking forward to Wednesday night.

Should be a cracking game but also minimal stress... we don't have 8 other matches of team sheets to juggle an hour before bounce, just the one. Thank you AFL!

Some very knowledgeable Richmond supporters on here.

Is their defensive 7 (when all available) likely to be :-

Broad , Gibcus , Grimes , Rioli (Ralphsmith) , Short , Tarrant , Vlastuin

Balta forward 🤔

So if Balta swings back does Gibcus then miss out ?

Baker stays forward I guess.

I’m not. I’ve got my SDK team and non SDK team, the former has Petracca. Gotta make a call.

Grimes available round 1.
Nank in H&S protocols but expected to be available.
Vlastuin out.

Hayes likely , no NWM or Owens based on the article on the AFL.com.au site

Wouldn't say I'm more knowledgeable than any other supporter But you're spot on with that assessment. I will say that Balta is much more impactful around the ball at stoppages and as a 3rd tall so there's really no reason to not let him develop more in those positions. Baker has that high HF position that was Lamberts.

Their is a number that when they post about Richmond , I stop and take note (very unbiased in their comments/thoughts)

No Lambert will be interesting to see who takes up his defensive gut running for Dusty , quite possibly the best 2 way mid in the competition , love how he , Graham & Shedda just get the job done time after time with no fuss or fanfare.

Makes me think Vlastuin didn't get up

As expected,has had "a slight setback" & will miss a couple

Article claims that D. Stephens likely to be the SUB for SYD vs GWS ... anyone know the likelihood of this occurring?

 

[Socrates2]

I'm stearing clear of Whitfield, Sicily, Cripps and Heeney.
They are too injury prone in an uncertain year for mine.

 

[Vicwood]

Port Supporters. Any update on who will play back up role to Lycett.

Unlikely, take those teams with a large grain of salt imo.

Get excited fellow coaches as our first batch of confirmed RD1 rookie priced players are starting to drop.
Be sure to check back to post #3 on this thread to get all the latest news as they come to hand.

 

[jobeywatto]

Posters on the Dogs' BigFooty board seem to think Arthur Jones is debuting. Would be a handy def rookie.

 

[Socrates2]

I can't justify playing Hinge or Gibcus when I have so many other expensive rookies in my team.
I think Gibcus has decent js but he is a tad expensive for me.
I'd rather field McCartin and have DeKoning and Arthur Jones or equivalent on the bench.

rumour is his family has been told to fly to Melbourne

Any idea on his JS?

Looked decent in the instances where he played in the pre-season but has a really light frame.
