Should Richo play more on the wing?

Question

I know it was only 1 game and against the dockers but the whole team looked faster and not the forward line was a lot more open

at times when were kicking to himour forward line looks like central station.

fair enougth it wont work all the time but i recon its worth a bit more of a try

Answer 1

Absolutly

It was a great move by Wallace and really opened the forwards up.

Richo is getting on a bit and it would be good if he can extend his carreer at Tigerland by playing a new position.

Wallace said that he wanted the Dismantle , sorry FREmantle, game to be a quick running game, to expose the dockers for the lack of run in their taller players.

Worked a treat. Great coaching I reckon

But like Doggie above me said, i dont see him (Richo) staying there. He will drop back into the forward line, once the other teams start to work a plan to counter him.

Answer 2

yeah i think so, he has a great tank for his size and his age

Answer 3

It's definitely worth a try.  He was rather effective against Freo.  Good time to blood some new forwards.

Answer 4

Yes, and I believe St Kilda should look at doing the same with Riewoldt.

Answer 5

I think it's a good move to play him up the ground, i'd be tempted to play him at CHF and let him roam from the wing down to full forward

Answer 6

No.

He should be playing in the back pocket, on the small crumbing forward.

Answer 7

I reckon the big fella loves a run, and always racks up a heap of possesions when he gets the chance. He's got a motor the size of a Mack truck, so i reckon Terry should put him there more often.

Answer 8

Hey things tend to work when you play sh*t teams like Fremantle

It wont work against Geelong, mind you not much will

Answer 9

No.

That was a one off as far as Richos performance.

Even I would have got kicks against the Dorkers last week.

Answer 10

Yes, agreed completely. I think I remember seeing him on the wing a few years ago, like when Jonathon Brown played in the centre. Although I don't think he'll be able to go 4 quarters for 22 games, he'll drop into the forward line every now and then.

Answer 11

I Agree.
