Round 7 Discussion

Shane Edwards is the most under rated player in the competition.

Shane Edwards is the most under rated player in the competition.

+ 1, he doesn't seem to get much recognition outside of Richmond. He's been awesome this year.

[Toga]

Yeah very underrated. Was fantastic in the midfield yesterday, really stood up in the absence of Cotch and Conca.

His intercept skills are amazing! Got caught with it a few times but performed very well. 8)

[Nige]

Always been a fan of Titch, good to see him really doing well. 8)

[Jroo]

Knights out for the year and Tuck 6-8  :'(
It's on the Richmond website.

[Toga]

:o bad luck knightsy feel for the bloke :( hope he can come back out and be a key part of the side next year.

Tuck is a surprise, if it was that bad its surprising he stayed on. Cotch comes straight back in, might open an opportunity for Matty Arnot though? With Tuck and Concs out wouldn't mind seeing him get a run. 8)

[Nige]

Cotch comes straight back in, might open an opportunity for Matty Arnot though?

Just went out to Pancake Parlour with a mate and I was talking about this being a possibility. Really hope it happens, but maybe Az Edwards gets a run?

[quinny88]

Lonergan to be elevated?

[Toga]

Yeah that's what I forgot to say, Lonergan surely will be elevated now while Knights is on the LTI. Between him and Matty Arnot to provide some relief to the loss of Tucky? ???

Just went out to Pancake Parlour with a mate and I was talking about this being a possibility. Really hope it happens, but maybe Az Edwards gets a run?

Az will probably only come in imo if McGuane plays back again in the absence of Dylan Grimes and Stephenson is omitted this week... Sound right?

So think it'd be between Lonners and Arnot for a run.. Unless we give Nahas another shot (which I would like to see, applied some good pressure yesterday).

[Nige]

Toga, do you really think Robbie's gonna be in different colours next season if he's not part of Richmond's best 22 come EOS?

But yeah, good point. Lonners and Biscuits may fight it out for Tucky's place in his absence. How good would it be to see Lonergan smash it against his old club come Round 9? Or even Arnot with an amazing debut ala Dean Polo?

[Toga]

Imo there is a good chance he will be, yes :( I have always really liked how he plays, so would be disappointing to see him go but it seems he has struggled to make it into the 22 with Guan standing up, the coach's love for Kingy, and Knightsy coming into the side..

I'm really hopeful he might break back into the side but who knows. Might become trade bait if we don't find room for him..

Yeah Lonners was spewing at Essendon about what they did iirc so I'd love to see him stick it to them, he'd really have something to play for that's for sure. :)

[Toga]

Good news for us with Cotch and Vicks set to come back into the side..
