    Ramsbottom, Lowbottom, Fingerbottom

    Flatbottom, Millebottom Flobottom
    Redbottom, Leanbottom, Fatbottom
    Wikibottom, Highbottom, Loganbottom
    Hickeybottom, Parkbottom, Jobottom
    Goldbottom, Bellbottom, Wetbottom, Rowbottom
    Corbottom #23
    I think Bellbottom peaked in the 70s and hasn't done much since.

            Is that like a back flip?

              Hewitt out
              Rowbottom in

              Warner has taken Stephens spot, so the only other option is to drop Florent or McInerney for Stephens (which I cant see).

              Wicks to tag Dusty

              Blakey will come good. He needs to learn his role is now as the link between halfback and the forwards, and I think he actually had a better game than some people think. Its just tough to stand out when the side is travelling so well.

                  It seems like everyone else, Richmond have evolved over the last 2 years. Their brand is the turnover game with high pressure acts and 2 way running. However, over 2020 and this year they have become more reliant on the clearance game to get their goals. I wonder if it has to do with Shai thriving in the clearance work. He just puts a lot of speed in the middle. If we can negate some of this by slowing the ball down at stoppages and then try and get some overlap run going, it would go a long way. Reckon Mills will play on Dusty in the middle or maybe Warner but not sure who will man Shai, he has serious speed and evasiveness - maybe Papley goes in there when Shai is on ball, or Stephens comes in for that. The wingers will have to work overtime to run to create a defence around this run from the centre that they can generate.

                  Also Reckon Hickey will have to be involved in second and third acts and do a lot of clearance work himself rather than pass it on to anyone else.

                      RB is neither a bull or a dynamo. As i pointed to his junior record indicates he has never ever been an accumulator. Averaged 13 disposals as a bottom ager. 21 disposals in the TAC cup. 18 disposals in the u18s championships. He has no understanding of how to work into space and follow up his work to get those extra possessions. now hes in the big leagues and hes being exposed for it. He is not a liability by any stretch, hes a good decent and fair player but when you have genuine kids like Campbell Warner Gulden Mcinerney having better games in their first second third career games than Rowbottom has ever had in his 30 odd games then its clear where he sits on the totem pole in terms of talent.
                      Fortunately for the fans and the club, your analysis of RB is both one-eyed and not particularly informative. If you want to really dig into the data, then you get a very different result (and one I strongly suspect is what the coaches see): AFL news 2021: Sydney Swans finals odds, predictions, tips, Champion Data, Champion Index

                      "According to Champion Data’s ‘relative ratings’ system – a measurement that compares one’s AFL Player Ratings to the typical output for a player of the same age and position... James Rowbottom (20, midfielder): +33%"

                      Champion Data shows he is a beauty, and everything I have seen confirms it for me too.

                        Rowbottom ruled out. AFL website.

                            Would rather RB than Blakey though on current form thats for sure
                            Stephens may be a player with great potential but he is very lightly built and the Richmond boys hit hard. Rowbottom will better manage the pressure

                              Don't let statistics beyond 'he doesn't get enough possessions' in the room mate... that's the only one that matters it seems Beyond that of course, the only analysis needed is qualitative mumbo jumbo like 'genuine kids' (what is a non-genuine kid - are we buying players from a knock off Chinese factory haha!) or 'totem poles of talent' of course....

                              As most of us expect and that link clearly shows, Rowbottom is rolling along just fine and well in front of where most players are at the same time in their career.

                                It is a shame we are getting very little info back on the reserves scratch games (There was a laidler video yesterday but it didn't say too much) - at least when the VFL proper starts we will be able to see a lot more of the action.

                                I wouldn't be unhappy with Stephens in with Rowbottom unavailable, but I do still think we are taking a massive risk down back without any changes to try and tighten up a little bit defensively. But then again, no obvious change there either stands out.
