I think jonathan brown hit the nail on its head pre game about richmond. Couple of the older players for Richmond should of retired to give a chance to our younger players to come through. Cotchin has to be the main one who stands out to me.
Taranto is still Taranto and Hopper is not just still Hopper but is also somehow now trying to be an outside mid negating the one thing he's actually good at!
Only silver lining is half of Taranto's clangers have gone to the Blues that I have at least!
I had concerns about his fitness watching the last preseason game v Melb - dees mids were just running hard all game, big work ethic - they are the hardest running mid group in the comp. Thought maybe I am just overreacting.
So far tonight he has continued to look the same, doesn’t look hungry or motivated… is he even fully fit?
