Wouldn't have dropped Sonsie and McAuliffe myself.
Nor brought in Banks.
Don't mind seeing Naismith to help tackle Gawn.
Just hope Hopper and Grimes are 100% not 80%.
-
Cannot believe McAuliffe & Sonsie have been omitted yet Pickett - McIntosh continues to get games. I get they are premiership heroes but surely you play the youngsters??
-
Really poor selection. Why on earth are we playing 2 ruckman. Are we that scared of Gawn. Unsure what Naismith will do.
McAuliffe and Sonsie have to be playing in this side. I would be retiring Grimes too.
-
Banks hasn’t done a thing at vfl level ? Weird selection.
I just hope sonsie and McCauliffe can dominate at vfl level and force their way back in.
-
Underwhelming to say the least. Naismith does deserve a run though
Last chance saloon for a lot of boys here for mine as long as the kids heading back to the 2's play some strong footy on the weekend.

HTF did Ralphsmith survive?

Pickett
Not happy Jan

We should be scared of Gawn . Nank is good at what he does around the ground but he is on the short side when it comes to ruckmen .
Year after year Gawn destroys us with his tap work and marking prowess. This is the week Nank needs support.
-
Really poor decision making. Drop McAuliffe and Sonsie after a few games yet continue to play Dow. Should be continuing to play youth. Would have been the perfect opportunity for them to gain experience as they would have had extra support from Hopper.
-
Unbelievable that they dropped sonsie and mcauliffe. We are without Prestia and Taranto, so what does that say for their chances of playing when those 2 come back.
Seriously struggling to understand what we’re trying to do atm.

#HardwickCroniesStillInCharge #GutlessYze :facepalm

Can understand dropping Sonz and Kane A. They have not done a lot but i would still have given both another week.
LMFAO at Dow Young and Ralphsmith. Still McIntosh and Pickett get games and Jack Graham in the guts is so so laughable.
Is that not the worst centre line we have fielded in god knows how many years. Totally out of form Pickett, Jack slow as treacle Graham and fmd scared of his own shadow Ralphsmith.
Last one no Short steps and no Smith to replace him another with good form behind him. Instead we get Banks and a shuffling of the titanics deck chairs.
It starts in the middle why aren't Martin Bolton and Hopper starting there. FMD Baker Dow and Graham with terrified of his shadow and Pickett on the wings it could get as ugly as its got in years.
Why not just find out what Koschitzke has to offer as a defender he could not possibly be worse than Young in the role.
We cannot kick goals and lack height forward, especially with Kosi dropped. I mean yeah i put my hand up im critical of Samson but why not Ryan who has kicked seven in two games in the vfl.We would actually be rewarding good form.
Have all year wanted to play the two ruckmen especially with Lynch out just reward good no great vfl form.
Clawskis team well i stand by what ive posted
Vlastuin - Miller - Grimes. Dylan Allows Broad to go to a wing.
Brown - Koschitzke - Smith. oh no we just cant reward good form he is still to raw lol.
Rioli - Hopper - Broad. Some wingers who will go both ways. No problem with both getting back and helping.But wingers who are not butchers and fumblers.
Nank - Martin - Bolton fmd a mid and onball brigade that looks more than competetive. Hold our own here and we give ourselves a chance to be competetive.
Cumberland - Ryan - Mansell. One sml pressure fwd. Cant play two who offer only defense. Take ya pick Mickey or MRJ
Coulthard - Lefau - Naismith. At the end of the day what is there to lose.
McAuliffe - Sonsie - Graham - Baker. Sticking by two kids.

Smarter would be:
Out
Short
Dow
Kosi
In
Ryan
Hopper
Grimes
Providing the senior blokes are fit and we want to win

So you think Pickett, McIntosh Young and Ralphsmith will make a difference?
-
Like I say
Who picks the team??
It ain’t YZE imho
-
No reason why Dow shouldn't be given more time to cement his spot. With Hopper coming back in, McAuliffe was always going to struggle to keep his spot, especially coming off a poor game against WC. We would have lost midfield balance with all 3 as inside mids in the team. Positive to see McIntosh on the bench and Ralphsmith named in the team - a step in the right direction as Macca is eased out of the side. Banks in for Short makes some sense, role for role.
Would have preferred Ryan to Naismith as I reckon he's in form and a better forward option than Nank or Naismith. If it wasn't for Gawn I think we would have gone that way.
-

Then we need to pee off the assistants and Hardwick-Mini era remnants that we should've peeed off last year instead of trying save money on the football department....either way it indicates Yze is either gutless or clueless or both if he's going along with these at best uninspired and at worst downright idiotic selections.... :shh
-
Personally no issue with Naismith getting a run.
Reckon his selection means more time forward for Nank
Staggered around Sonsie being omitted. Give me him over Hugo any day
Although disappointed with the McAuliffe omission part of me understands it. He was poor against the Eagles but having said that I'd rather see kids getting opportunities. I'm a Sam Banks fan but gee reckon he is very lucky.
Genuinely surprised Pickett kept his sport after his selfish efforts against the Eagles
Have to admit I'm pretty disillusioned with our Club at the minute. It hasn't been a great week for it...this week's selections have just topped it off :-\

No way no Macca and Pickett should stay in instead of Sonsie and McAuliffe. Ryan kicked 7 goals in the last 2 vfl games should be in that side playing as a forward ruck reward form.
On to who picks the side is Tim Livingstone having to much influence.

Neither of those have the tank for the wing tho? Can't just pick blokes and then work out the positions later.

Yeah what will we ever do without Sir Runsalot with his flapping arms, turnstile tackling & hack kicks to no-one, losing every contest...meanwhile a used car yard somewhere is missing one of it's inflatable men.... :shh

Why not just pick the pair of them as MIDS.
Its not as if we dont have other wing options.
Just play Kane he has played the equivalent of just three full games all year. He will be better for each run how in hell Dow got picked in front of him after the god awful year he has had is beyond me.
Just give him a good block of games and give him a decent go in those games.
In a way im glad Sonsie and McAuliffe are not playing this game at least they cant be made the scape goats if we cop a belting which at this point in time is likely.
You want wings well Yze himself said he would look at Rioli to play there if need be. Time to stop rewarding mediocrity with McIntosh and Pickett and do it and if hes so scared of playing kids there play Rioli and Broad.

Hmm some decent match ups about as good as we could ask and none of the very disappointing non performing seniors.
-
Weak short sighted decision bringing Grimes back. Big mistake
-
I think grimes is cooked to, but it’s not like he’s taking another youngsters spot like some of the other senior players. Looking at the team for the vfl game, and there’s only 1 afl listed player named in the back half, being kaleb smith which is hardly a like for like swap with grimesy.
-
It's not a matter of a swap, it's a matter of getting games and experience, which are invaluable to the kids. Wins losses for now mean nothing. It's about real development, in the system not in the vfl
-

Forgot about Ralph. Drop.
Who replaces Young in the backline? We'd be playing Miller as our only proper tall.
Pickett and KMac have sucked but to be honest I just don't think we should make 6-8 changes per week given the extent of our injury list.
-
Ryan must have banged Meehan or something.
Must be really hated down there if a banged up ruckman like Naismith gets a gig before him.
Yze is trying to save face and not embarrass himself on the scoreboard. There is no other explanation why duds like kmac are still playing.
-
I must say it's a bit of a worry playing 2 Ruckman for this game. Going to be wet and high intensity. Sadly I wouldn't be at all surprised if we copped a 8 to 10 goal smashing tonight.

Good point. Don't play Naismith.
Like Ryan's debut lol

Don't think it's going to be that wet TBH

Rather than take another grubby and pointless swipe at your favourite target, who has nothing to do with selection you are aware that Naismith is a far better ruckman than Ryan at this point?
Ryan would get smashed by Gawn at any ruck contest he went to. It would be like watching a tea towel flapping in breeze
-
one is not the future and one may not be either, but i would have thought 4 and 3 goals gives him a chance?
When we were playing well Nank was enough v Gawn but do we need 2 now do we?
If we are going to play duds like HRS then will it hurt playing Ryan for a block of games as well?
-
Can see what you're saying Frankie but probably wouldn't hurt to have Ryan get his confidence up by playing another good game in the 2s this week. Bring him in the following week when he's not going to get slaughtered by Melbourne.

Wheres the fun in putting a young kid up early and tearing him to shreds when he fails

It's better this way. If he plays well again today and we bring him in next week we can say he's a good VFL player but clearly not AFL level. Then we say dud delist
This is vintage Richmond list management and it's why we were a powerhouse for 4 years.

Why not both Frankie with Lefau.. Ryan straight swap for Kosi forward and he plays kpf. He doesnt need confidence he is coming off 4 and 3 goal hauls.
Naismith as a ruck/fwd Giving both Nankervis and Ryan a chop out.We can change this during a game as well.
Fmd we play two defensive small forwards all the time in Mansell and Rioli for pressure just add another pacey small.
Its also not as if their opponents are gazelles May, McDonald and Lever aren't exactly olympic sprinters.What it does do is keep em honest in the air. It also helps the back half with whoever is rucking playing a kick behind play.
We currently don't have a lot of options but we play and reward a bloke who has thoroughly earnt a game in Naismith. We drop a badly out of form Kosi and bring in a younger bloke who has shown a bit in the two's the last few weeks.
It may not be the ideal structure but it does make for good culture by rewarding players for good form. It is why i think Smith should be getting a game in Shorts spot he is in the bests the last 3 weeks and we reward good form with a like for like replacement. In fact Smith has far better attributes than old shortsteps.
-
You reward form simple as that and Ryan has it. Give him a block of games. There's a few getting selected from the vfl on the back of no form while how many senior players keep failing and never get dropped.
-
From those ins, who is actually taking Sonsies spot ? Does it mean Graham or Hopper to play more fwd since that’s where Sonsie was playing ?
This team is just such a mess tbh. We have Hopper, Graham, Dow, Baker, ralphsmith and Pickett playing midfield and wing. IMO ONE of those players should even be in the team and it’s Baker. We are held hostage by our trade for hopper and have to play him, fair enough. But Graham, Dow ( IMO ) Ralphsmith and Pickett are not the future. To play them over guys like sonsie and mcc is just stuffing ludicrous
-
Kmac is the sub tonight.
-
Kmac is the sub tonight.
WOW. That almost makes up for the team selection. A sign we are moving in the right direction still. Although hrs isn’t the right direction but maybe we can increase his trade value from 0 to a 3rd round pick.
Have to say I feel this is the worst team we have selected all year
-
Agree Smith should be playing. His form warrants selection.
