The problem is that, on form to date, Riccardi isn't actually that great - especially compared to Riewoldt or Lynch. He can mark and goal, which is valuable, but mainly shown it against lesser defensive options. I'd expect him to potentially get dropped for Cadman if he gets off to a slow start too.
He was in my team for a long while until his injury news - if played around the contest (by far his best position with his burst, clean hands, and a decent tackle), he's a sneaky 80 average IMO. If played up forward (where he has the goal sense of a potato and his other strengths don't matter as much) I wouldn't go near him ever. However I've adopted the common "no preseason, no selection" motto so he ain't coming in now.
