I agree with you about Rioli as far as opponents have worked him out. I think it's he now gets a defensive forward with a tag. I'm not saying a hard tag but he's not getting those runs he was last season also seems to be getting the ball deeper in the backline instead of around chb where his runs used to start from. As for the 2 new additions I think they (and the coaches) are still working out where to play them and when within the team structure wise, so they can play the Richmond way. The retirement of Astbury and the injuries / suspension in the backline have really hurt us this season, hopefully some players back soon along with a change of fortune. GO TIGES!
Rioli's disposals have been the problem, he's still getting the ball in a lot of the dangerous spots that he always was so deadly from. But like most of the team, then waffs the kick/handball or is just generally fumbling... It's all about the polish!
Does anyone else think shai should play a more forward pocket role rather then a mid/forward role ??? I really think he's the perfect size for a small pocket and maybe a little too small for centre half forward I'd love to see Cumberland play centre half forward he's got the size and the leg to kick them long distance goals
Yellow and black. Smashed the mighty Eagles!

At least Shai pulled the finger out. Gonna be a long season pal. Gibbo will be a fillip.
