Fire away :help.
-
I'd make a few but I don't think there will be any
Reckon Dimma will back them all in this week
:help :help
-
Don't reckon we'd miss any of Houli, Stack, Lambert, McIntosh, Short, Broad or Baker at this stage.... get Dow RCD, Balta & Chol in..hell, would even give Aarts a crack .... time to inject some youth & enthusiasm....:shh
-
Outs:
Riewoldt (it’s time).
Ross (turns it over often - only Riewoldt was worse and gives no pressure)
McIntosh (finally gets a game back and gives nothing)
Stack (has forgotten how tough he used to be where has it gone?)
Ins:
Balta (give him a run of games)
Naish (give him a run of games)
Dow (we need an extractor that wins the ball)
Graham (we missed his toughness)
-
So many are well down where would one start.
Nank and Short the only ones who looked like it today.
The midfield is being smashed and if Ross plays future games it must be as an inside mid only... not on the halfback with his disposal!
-
No wonder we are struggling with the following way out of form:
Prestia
Martin
Riewoldt
Cotchin
Edwards
Castagna
Rioli
Caddy
Lambert
Graham
Pickett
Stack
-
Out: Cotchin.
When you are the captain you are meant to lead the way with your gut busting effort.. He has been spectating the contest at times which sets the standards for others. When the captain is in cruise mode we are in very big trouble. I know I will be slamed hard for this statement but I'm telling you this is a leadership "effort" problem. Half efforts to redeem yourself when the game is cooked don't cut it when you have been smashed by a D grade midfield. Hardwick knows and touched on it tonight in his presser. Rockstars that cannot be bothered.

The leaders...

Many out but Stack must be the First. Seems to have forgotten how to play hard.

Totally wrong re Cotchin
-
So many players out form must mean something else is going on imo.
Whether it's a tweak of strategy or lack of motivation ( which I don't buy) whatever, I don't know. But to me, a premiership team like this doesn't just lose their chemistry like this. Everything is poor
-
To me the players just look exhausted and flat. Dusty doesn't even seem to have the same hunger and has had very little if any impact. We usually see that competitive nature from him but it's like he can't really be bothered. He certainly has the runs on the board and certainly not blaming him alone but his demeanor is certainly mirrored by a few other usually good contributors who have been similarly unsighted with zero impact.
We virtually have no players in form, sounds like the bad patch we had last season, difference being we had players out, we virtually have a full list to choose from this time. Maybe an injection of some enthusiasm might help.

You keep telling yourself that Chuck. There have been multiple occassions over the last few weeks where his efforts have been way off the mark. Then suddenly to save face he does random burst efforts to redeem himself. As Captain he sets the standard for the whole team and for the whole game. If it's ok for him to cruise around during periods of the game then the others will follow his level of output. A Dual premiership Captain yes and thank you Cotch. But clearly the hunger and effort is now gone.

I’m hearing some key players have spat it about the $ they have lost. Selfish

I read this somewhere else any truth to this tho every club did it be very disappointing if true.

Then its time to start trading them out. You cant have players playing like this because theyve had their incomes cut back due to a global pandemic. If this is how they feel they should get out of our c lub and go play for Norf.
They shouldnt forget millions of australians have lost their jobs completely or have had hours cut and most were on low wages. These blokes are on huge salaries so takIng a cut wont kill them financially.
-
I also suspect the players didn’t put the work in when they weren’t playing
Fitness seems to be down along with attitude -

Unsubstantiated at this point so should not be a discussion point.
-
Theres whispers on all forums now. Its a discussion point. Its a rumour thats been arouns for a couple of weeks therefore we should talk about it.

.
Refresh the side with youth can't be worse there is plenty talent there in vfl.
-
In
Balta
Chol
Pickett
Out
McIntosh
Ross
Higgins
Balta to allows Grimes and Broad to play on smalls and provide run from defense. Short to play wing. Chol to play forward/ruck. Pickett to play inside mid. Jack to play as a high forward.
-
Higgins was one of our best.
Plenty of others should go before him.

Yes- he was ok but i'm not sold on him as a player.
-
I'm not overly keen on Higgins & Baker in the same side......atm I'd give Higgins the nod on form & effort....right now he's one of the few blokes who looks like he actually gives a stuff... :shh
-
Two premiership Tigers in for scans according to Ch 7. One of them looks like Astbury (knee) from the glimpse of vision they showed.
-
IN
Butler
Ellis
Townsend
-
Astbury with a partially dislocated knee cap. Could come good but unlikely given the short turnaround and especially if there's some damage.
Caddy is the other. All they said is he has just come back from a calf complaint so I'm presuming it's another calf.
So we could have at least two forced changes which means some others out of form who should be dropped will survive again.
-
Outs:
Riewoldt. Ross. McIntosh. Stack. Astbury(injured). Caddy(injured).
Ins:
Balta. Naish. Dow. Graham. Rance. Garthwaite. Chol

Hope the Tigers have depth — they'll need it. Former coach Ross Lyon loved to say players picked themselves. Richmond can't go with Sydney Stack or (probably) Josh Caddy for this week's clash against West Coast. Stack has talent, but seems to have lost his awareness.

-
Game cancelled.
Playing cheese platters.
-
Lloyd wants Chol (to play forward/2nd ruck) and RCD brought in. Richmond need to add some youth and excitement into the side which should shake up some premiership players.
Mind you Lloyd also said RCD has been around a number of years when Riley is only in his second year :huh3.
-
Patrick Naish, Daniel Rioli and Marlion Pickett are among those pushing for a recall.

The blokes who were dropped need to back it up - they shouldn't just waltz back in after only one week of 16-a-side scratch match footy against kids, fringe players & list cloggers... :shh
-
Astbury out for 5 weeks, Garthy to come in
-
Step on up garthy. Sounds like he's been playing well and deserves another crack. Our defense is very small though. Maybe Balta ?
-
Defender Ryan Garthwaite, Patrick Naish, Daniel Rioli and Marlion Pickett are among those pushing for a recall to face Melbourne in a rejigged fixture on Sunday.

Noooooo
Why not Balta????
-
disgrace if balta is not called upon.
garthwaite. pass
-
Hope I’m wrong but Garthwaite doesn’t look up to it, Balta does
-
Supporters opinions of Garthwaite have so far followed almost the exact same path & trajectory their opinions about Astbury did at the same stage of his career.... :shh
-
In other team whispers …
— RICHMOND will ponder a like-for-like replacement in defence for Sunday’s clash against Melbourne after dual premiership backman David Astbury was ruled out for at least a month because of a knee injury. Third-year defender Ryan Garthwaite, who’s played nine games for the Tigers to date, could be considered, but the Tigers may opt to re-call some of the players that were dropped for the St Kilda clash, including Daniel Rioli and Marlion Pickett.

Please no to Garthwaite- he is as bad as I have seen at AFL level.
Play Balta- he is better in every single way.
Broad Grimes Baker
Stack/Short Bolta Vlastuin

Yes- he was ok but i'm not sold on him as a player.
Not sold on him as a player either. I hope I am badly wrong.
