Wasn’t he opposed to Bolton

Before Stocker was moved on to him
Huge coaching mishap if that’s the case.

I trust Bonner one-on-one in the backline about as much as I trust Higgins kicking for goal from 30 meters out directly in front.

Bonner kicked a lovely goal and was better today, but it was hard not to be after last week’s insipid performance.

Richmond just recognised that our HBs are offensive and sit off to give us run and drive.

So the started Dusty and Bolton as HHFs who went up and back and we lost them in transition

Stocker went to Bolton after HT

We put a bunch t of work into Dusty

Seb went to Taranto

We figured out that Nank was sitting in the hole (to deal with King threat) and used Marshall.

He will, at Sandy.
Nope. Will be released to get up the ground more. He's not a lock down defender and wasn't recruited for.

He will be playing in the VFL at some stage soon, guaranteed.

So... good coaching?

Ross in his presser did remark that they got some of the coaching "problem solving" wrong last week against the Bombers. Seems like this week we identified the issues and fixed them rather well

I reckon Bonner went OK this week and made up for his disastrous last week

OK, so 8 possessions down from his 32 last week but a 91.7 Disposal Efficiency against his 65.6 last week is an improvement I'm happy with

Bagging a (nice) goal was icing

He needs to defend occasionally too

It’s not all about offence

Cordy was better than Bonner yesterday
