Position 2023: Midfield Discussion

[Courtesans]

How do you afford this Fantastic Four + Green?

Doch, Daicos, Yeo, Ginbey, Mckenna, Wilmot, Weedle, Cowen
Laird, Oliver, Miller, Bont, Green, Hopper, Ashcroft, Phillips, Johnson, Blakely, Baker
Grundy, Marshall Madden
Dunks, Cogs, Rozee, Allen, McLean, Greene JVR, Drury.

 

[Courtesans]

ND at D1, someone rubbish at R2.

Thanks for that.

Who is Mckenzie?

 

[PC]

Thanks for that.

All good Court. I have had that (your) named mids for weeks, but have struggled to balance the team otherwise. You have done it by avoiding the mid-price madness, which I have succumb to. Only way I could make it work was to run a Draper or the like at R2 and ignore 600+ backs

Who is Mckenzie?

Think he meant McKenna 😉

 

[Connoisseur]

Who is Mckenzie?

Z is located below A on the QWERTY keyboard and predictive text could have filled the rest.

Oh ok cool. Thought there was some rookie that I overlooked

 

[Courtesans]

Who is Mckenzie?

Can't spell.

 

[AngryAnt]

Can't spell.

No worries, should have figured it out myself!

Quite a similar structure to me but I have Macrae/Steele/DCameron over Laird/Miller/Grundy which has helped me slot in Fyfe up forward

Anyone know if Hopper is training fully yet, or still being managed?

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Anyone know if Hopper is training fully yet, or still being managed?

Pretty sure he played in a match sim over the weekend? The only one he was managed for was half an hour of match sim sometime last week? As far as we are aware?

Richmond’s match simulation included four 15-minute quarters of match practice, with some VFL-listed players also taking part.

Veteran forward Jack Riewoldt booted four goals as he gets set to launch into a 17th AFL season, while second-year player Judson Clarke got on the end of three goals.

After sitting out match simulation on Thursday, recruit Jacob Hopper played through the midfield alongside fellow former Greater Western Sydney onballer Tim Taranto and both impressed.

Wingman Marlion Pickett, midfielder-forward Shai Bolton and defender Noah Balta were among other standouts.

Nice. I had read he'd been missing one main session each week up until this.

Anyone care to shed the Oliver rumours that are doing the rounds about potential injury? Legitimate or just hot air?

Participated fully in match sim today. Didn’t look hampered by his thumb or any other fingers. No strapping and no longer wearing the ‘do not touch’ fluro yellow cap.

So sounds like hot air to me unless the club says otherwise.

Any news out of the intra - especially around Gawn and Grundy?

Just match sim so not a whole lot to report. Grundy was having a rest today anyway so unable to provide any updates on how he and Gawn went together. No injury for Grundy, just management.
