If we had the depth the we could easily drop 10 players after this performance. Too many lazy players who seem to have a mindset that we will lose every game so whats the point in trying. This in the most part seems to be the more so called "experienced" senior players. Maybe we simply need to play every new recruit and remove the cancers from this team in one foul swoop. :help

Tambling must be dropped, white didn't do anything, I'd leave Post in the back half. I'd tell connors that his rebound whilst good, counts for naught if his opponent i going to kick 3.5 or whatever mcglynn ended up with. Has been exposed defensively every game thus far! Edwards tries, gets in decent possies but is a horrible fail with decision making and disposal. RR back to coburg for 8 weeks, must get fit, can show us in the second half of the seaso if he has the goods.
Leave simmonds FF and lets see how the lads go at coburg before we talk about ins

Connors wasn't on McGlynn the whole game, Tuck certainly had him at times
He was good defensively last week too

true, newman and tambling also had short stints, but he had him more than the others combined... He's too loose infamy, has to find the balance between rebound and defence.

In: Polak - we need a big body fixe din the goal square to straighten us up

Post was awful last night. He wont chase, attack contests and actually almosts looks disinterested. His work off the ball is non existent.

I said it last week and I will say it again - having watched him closely last night and last week it's pretty clear to me why he didn't play all the praccy games in the seniors.

And just on tambling - I thought he had his best game last night for 2010. His gut running and defensive work off the ball was very good indeed

Would agree on Post, kid thinks he is a bit of a "'rock star"". doesnt work hard enough.
Noticed Matty White having a bludge behind play last night and not chasing.
Coburg bound are these 2

Relton doesnt work hard enough either for someone new to a club, he'll be back at Coburg as well shortly.

Post by: jackstar is back again on April 11, 2010, 10:24:40 AM
whats evident with Relton is that on the TV shot from behind the goals last night, he had no idea where to stand in the zones and no idea what do when the opposition released from kick in.
Not only is this a player issue in regards to listening and hard running, but a coaching issue as well.
A matter of fact the zones were terrible

Totally agree on Post too. Watched last weeks game a couple of times this week and now last nights game and he goes to ground to often! No second effort most of the time, horrible below his knees, doesn't seem to want to chase and tackle and a long way away at the minute. Cannot even take a grab either and if he is not doing that it's time for a stint at Coburg. We cannot take a trick as a club, i was hoping he might be that one that we could build our new side around but after watching him a little closer i'm not so sure. A long way to go i know, but just have a bad feeling.

I was not at the game last night and only watched it on tv but if that was Blings best game this year no wonder we are pathetic. He is a fumbling, terrible kick, soft tackling dud! End of story. (at games i remark everytime he fumbles to my mates and by the end of the game i am sick of my own voice)
Could not give a fying (you know what) what he does off the ball, he is a number 4 pick and needs to get the footy and lots of it and most importantly use it. If i was never to see him again in a Tigers jumper i would be happy. Had enough of him and peoples excuses for him. Time for this club to move on from him and ADMIT they made the mother of all F UPS!!!!

C'mon Jack, watch the replay, I thought that recently I had been a bit hard on Edwards so I made sure that I payed particular attention to his game last night. Gee he didn't let me down, other that one goal he kicked his turnovers are amazing. Really this guy is not up to it.

I agree WAT. I was at the game and watched Edwards closely and whilst you can't fault his work rate, his decision making and disposal skills were Unemployable!!!
He directly cost us 3 goals and another 3-4 in momentum with poor tackling and dreadful turnovers. The SCG being a small ground is one place where turnovers kill you in a flash.
So Jack, when you say he wasn't that bad, are you referring to his work rate?? Because that was the only positive I could see in his game last night.

Post was also dreadful. He was very slow in the forward line and has poor hands when the ball hits the ground. the only good point was his second effort which led to a Riewoldt goal.

You definitely see more things live, both good and bad than you do on TV. Cotch look a bit slow last night and was huffing and puffing. He was well down on last weeks effort. Does anyone know if he has a virus or something? or is it just in interrupted preseason??

Therefore
Out: Post, Edwards
In: Astbury, Polak


On the bright side, how good was Martin!! Sure he was a bit inaccurate in front of goal but this kid can seriously kick. It was my first time seeing him live and I was super impressed. He also has really good upper body strength as I saw him shrug off tackles on many occasions.
I was also impressed with Vickery's game. My first time seeing him live too and He has very quick hands for a big lad.

Unbelievable. about 14 days ago everyone was whinging how small we were and how we needed a tall up forward. Post has had 2 games lol and you want him head chopped. Mind baffling.

I like Roberts alot but just seems a fish out of water, unfortunately looks to be a player that would be amazingly dangerous in a good side that has high possession count. He'd cause so many headaches at a Brisbane, Sydney and Collingwood. I think he prob needs to have a few steller games at Coburg. Just seems a fish out of water at the moment.

No point changing the side its amount game time and experience regardless how much you tinker with the side and makeup our best 100% fit line up wont beat any side this year. I've got no problem with that just wanna see our future on the park, backing themselves and having a crack. Our wins this year will be winning as many qtrs as we possibly can.

 :lol, I was waiting for someone to bring that up, while I called for him to be dropped for next week I totally agree with you. I didn't harp on about him coming in like many others did but I have called for him to be dropped because he doesn't look like he works very hard and he has become slower IMO.

But isn't it funny because many said that he should be in the foward line and in the side, well thats what has happened, he has done little and now the same people wan't him out.

Leave him in and see if he can grow.

Al I found Relton to be a bit inconsistent. Bursts out of the blocks like a Ferrari but once the Nitro expires he turns into a Lada Samara with a sugared tank of petrol. He was out of position on a few occasions and really had troubles with zoning. Around contests he was also inconsistent. Should have been front and centre at a few of jack and Postiess dropped contested marks but he was nowhere to be seen. Not sure if it was a coincidence but our forward defensive pressure really lifted after he was taken off.

Good story from Windy Hill that at training one night, the players were stufffing around and werent training as they should of, missed kicks etc.
A player ran past Sheeds and Sheeds stuck his elbow out and busted the players jaw, they won the flag that year.
The player was Blumfield

Okay, seriously now. I think the shot in the arm the team and its' supporters needs after 3 weeks from hell is an infusion of youth. So Taylor, Webberley, Dea and Thursfield in for the four mentioned. Plus probably Polak who was solid, if not spectacular on Sunday for Roberts who probably won't come up.   
Title: Re: Changes next week for the Demons game?
Post by: WA Tiger on April 12, 2010, 11:39:35 PM
Well I think youth is a must this week, Polak I can live with but 3 more untried changes is a must IMO, that way it will show we are trying to move on rather than trying to bandaid our current situation with players like King, McMahon, Hislop, Farmer etc...

I'm happy to see Farmer return. I thought he has been more than servicable considering he is still young and new to the club.

Polak, yes if it straightens us up like it did at the end of the Sydney game when Simmonds floated forward.

My other choices would be Webberly and Dea.

No King or McMahon please. Tuck was also average but Thomson hasn't set the world on fire so I'm unsure which way to go here  :-\

They might bring McMahon back to repeat his heroics from last season!!  :o

And I'm only half-joking - he might just be in the mix this week, now that we have all those forced changes.

Dont spoil my week OL Smokey

At least he is consistent.... :whistle, thats the problem, Edwards was probably, I mean surley ;D going to be dropped this week but not now. Oh well lets hope he can turn the corner this week seeing he has been given many lifelines. Not sure I would have Farmer back either, I don't like the look of our team with Farmer, Edwards and King in, if he does come in. We need (IMO) to play some taller types, give the new kids a go, who cares, nothing to lose.

Look at the Bombers on the weekend, they played two new young kids and they wen't great, c'mon Tigers take a risk.

In the Mix ......

RICHMOND

The Tigers have an empty injury list, but four players on club suspension. David Gourdis was solid for Coburg and for the Tigers in the first round of the NAB Cup - and is a likely replacement in defence for Luke McGuane. Matt Dea, pick 44 in last year's draft, could also make his debut for the club in place of Daniel Connors. Elevated rookie Graham Polak kicked a couple but is unlikely to step up, though midfielder Andrew Collins seems a good fit in the midfield.

The suspensions might provide an opening for former basketballer Matt Dea to make his AFL debut, after he was among the best for VFL affiliate Coburg in defence last weekend.

Defenders Will Thursfield and Mitch Farmer are other possible inclusions, after missing the Swans match through injury.

Spot on

Taylor, Dea, Webberly and Astbury all in.

Rotate the list through. With all due respect to Melbourne, other than North you wont find a smaller bodied side in teh AFL to blood some raw youth. Has to be done.

Richmond's misery gets worse
Greg Denham
The Australian
April 15, 2010


BOTTOM-of-the-ladder Richmond's woes are going from bad to worse, with captain Chris Newman unlikely to play against Melbourne at the MCG on Sunday.
 
Newman, who did not play out last weekend's loss to Sydney, has been scanned for a possible hamstring strain.

Dual best-and-fairest winner Brett Deledio appears likely to lead a winless and depleted Tigers against the Demons.

After making six changes to his starting 22 last week, new Richmond coach Damien Hardwick must now make five enforced changes because of the internal suspensions of Ben Cousins, Daniel Connors, Dean Polo and Luke McGuane following a fracas in a Sydney hotel on Sunday morning, as well as covering for Newman.

Hardwick may have to make six changes again if first-year forward Relton Roberts is ruled out with concussion.

Should the captain be ruled out, his absence will add stress to an already vulnerable back line, which last week included Connors, Polo and McGuane.

As well, key defender Will Thursfield will miss successive rounds with a hamstring injury.

Out-of-favour half-back Jordan McMahon will not be considered for a fourth consecutive week after missing the opening round of the VFL season last Sunday with a shoulder injury.

Richmond's defence this weekend will have to depend largely on the experience of Kelvin Moore and Shane Tuck. Small defender Mitch Farmer should be back after missing last week with an ankle problem.

Tom Hislop should also return to the senior side after being dropped to the VFL last week, where he was one of Coburg's best players.

The Tigers could introduce up to three new players against Melbourne, the most likely being key forward David Astbury, 19, a third-round national draft pick last year. Also under consideration will be small forward Troy Taylor, although his form in the VFL has been moderate. The 18-year-old Alice Springs recruit came to Punt Road with the Tigers' fourth-round pick in last year's national draft.

Colin Sylvia, who was close to selection for Melbourne last weekend after his jaw was controversially broken in the pre-season, could play his first game of the year against the Tigers.

hahaha the biggest example of why we fail as a football club is right in this hack of a footballer.

Much like Mclovin, the one handed attempts at tackling. being brushed aside at ease on a weekly basis makes me sick in the guts to be honest.

Add tambling to the mix we really need to get rid of this lot of footballers if we are to be serious about change.

enough is enough

I will be the one to  put my hand up and scream from the rafters.

Troy Taylor must play - Gun in the making !

Could quite possibly be the steal of the 2009 Draft.  :thumbsup

Thanks Dimma. :thumbsup
