At the game it looked like his best game for a long while, didn’t look timid like he has this year, but reading the comments he must’ve made some horrible mistakes which I missed?

Thoughts on Menadue's game?

18 disposals (11k, 7h, 9 con, 10 uncon) @ 67%
2 marks
2 tackles
1 clearance
1 inside50
1 one%er
3 clangers
He might be ready in another 3-5 years
ATM he’s just too soft and not quite ready.

I want to see a Peter Wilson type player, not another kid that doesn’t like to smash through the contest. I also thought he was fast.....I’m not so sure anymore rather Markov to be honest. 
The club that keeps giving.

Agreed he looked good at the ground and he did make 2 clear errors - looked good with ball in hand and looked like he belongs. Opinions are opinions but I don't get the negative towards him. And if it was missed he also won a few one on one's :shh

He was terrible!

He rivals Bellis as the softest footballer at our club.

Still a scared little boy after 4 years in our system.

FHO!

Thought he was poor

Seriously, this much vaunted pace/speed is practically non existent

IMO, his problem is this. Been in the system 4 years and I dont see any natural progression/improvement in his game now from when he debut.

Terrible? Grigg terrible?
Unfortunately he makes Grigg look like a Brownlow Medalists.

Nothing personal against the kid but he is the wrong type of player for our game style.
How he was even selected for last nights game is baffling.

Panics with ball in hand.

Not a player ready for finals.

Has any Richmond  player ever had a bad game in your eyes? Are you the bloke who writes the VFL reviews?

Its as if you're Assange Tiger and every player is BEllis.... :shh

Bellis is the softest?

Don't see ya come down on Lambert ever. Don't see ya come down on Butler ever.

We have a group of regular shirkers. Every club does.

Don't you dare single out Fearless Premiership Hero Bellis...ever again  :shh

CEllis is softer than BEllis..... :shh


Have noticed Lambert taking a few short steps a bit this year too.... :shh :shh


When Prestia and, to a lesser extent Graham are out and not adequately replaced because we have poor inside depth these blokes struggle as they're forced into more contests which isn't their strength.... :shh :shh :shh
