We heard Damien Hardwick on the weekend reference what a Richmond player is and what they look for when recruiting
So what does a 2019 bloodsplayer look like ?
It can’t be the same as 2016 because it doesn’t work in 2019
We know in past it was hard contested players that exited with kicks but the speed, umpiring and rules of the 2019 game are not in alignment with our squad. We dont have a squad that can handle AFL 2019
2019 teams on the other hand are hard contested teams but when they exit they flood forward with veryvery quick players who love keeping the footy in hand
We know that we have teams in the Comp who regard themselves as “high pressure turn over teams” but their difference is their ability to break with running players that food forward hard
Richmond
Bulldogs
Saints
Melb
Etc
They have many players in these teams that are super quick
They love hunting in numbers but then break so hard and so fast
Let’s be honest - who would rather building play from your HB line ?
Houli vs Mills
Edwards vs Thurlow
It is chalk and cheese when theHBFs flood forward for the Richmond team vs Swans
