I thought we needed a thread devoted to our our ex-Richmond spuds when they show true colours for opposition teams.
My post today is for downhill skier Raines who when his team needed him to stand up sadly showed what he is made of.
On one occasion in the second quarter being the only player in the marking contest he misjudged the mark by one and a half meters.
My pick of the night was in the last though when he was under no pressure coming out of the back line and kicked an absolute mongrel even jacko would be hard pressed to beat.
Raines playing in defense for five games this year has made a huge eight tackles total.

you havent seen Alex Rance play , have you :banghead :banghead

i am more than happy we let go of Raines and Schulz but not Rodan and Ottens for peanuts.
Even after a knee Reco Rodan BOG and gee how he would be handy if he played for us, but then again he would probably be played as a tagger or the pocket if he played for us.:banghead :banghead

Raines is a definitely a spud. Back to his painful self last night.
The up & unders are back when under pressure.

Disagree actually.
Lets see where Andrew is at come round 22 this year.
Brisbane were terrible last night.

Brisbane were terrible last night.
So was Raines.
Indeed we shall see. I'll bet he's struggling by year's end.
-
ran 2nd in the rising star.
You never lose your ability.
Just bad coaches give them bad habits.
LOOK AT DAVE RODAN with a good coach.
Raines has played 4 good games and one average game

Pffft.
Shane Woewodin won a Brownlow medal.
Like I said, we'll see.

Justin Plapp & Robert Powell

Losing Raines, Schulz, Ottens & Rodan were the right decisions at the time
Credit to some of those players going on to have some success at another club, but we don't miss any of them

Spud head Frawley 8)

Schulz made a few basic errors even the commentators was running him down on lack of skill.
it was the right decision to let him go he wasnt performing for us so no point keeping him around.

Good point T101! Our supporters cannot be kept happy! He's no good, get rid of him and when he does a good job at another club we complain! Honestly, no-one we have traded has been world beater at other clubs anyway! Ottens wanted too be traded also, but he hasn't been the gun at Geelong they expected either!

Ottens has been their best ruckman by far at geelong and effectively one them their 2007 premiership by playing a fantastic game in the semi final when they beat Collingwood by a goal. He was a loss to us but then we got a good pick for him.

Dont forget Pattison as a spud. I dont reckon he will last at st Kilda

And I have seem way too much of Matt Dea to make me sick, what pick we gave up for him,?
He cant play

Poor Matt its been a bit of a nightmare start to his AFL carreer..the kid comes from a basketball background so will probably need more time than most to adjust

He's just a boy learning the game. Go and support the Gld Coast JACK with all your high draft picks and millions of dollars where things will be done easily.
Sick of you bagging our kids.
Yes correct Dea struggled and showed he's not up to AFL football. Coburg will welcome him back for the rest of the year an dhe can continue to learn his craft.
Disgraceful support from you towards a club that needs a positive influence from all involved. We'll get no where if our players continue to cop slop from you over the fence.
I'm surprised Dea makes you sick, yet your support for our club is weaker than a Dale Thomas bench press. Cop the bumps with a grin and move on mate. If you can't do that then jump off the ship.

Good post Cods! Give Dea a chance!

Who the stuff cares about Jordan McMahon? He has NOTHING to do with this discussion. It was a stupid, selfish Wallace trade. There's nothing we can do about it now.
In regards to Dea, I bet you were thinking the same things about Kurt Tippett in his first few games. He's a kid who has played 5 games of AFL. With that minimal experience, he SMASHED Corey Jones at Coburg. He played VERY WELL in every game at Coburg. Give him time to develop instead of having a :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead hissy fit at every opportunity.

Good post actually.
Dea cant play, and on face value is waste of a draft pick.
Go and watch other clubs first year recruits, you would of seen two beautys that Freo have picked up , Fyfe and Barlow
How good was Fyfe last night ??
Miles better then Dea, Oh, thats right, you only watch yellow and black. ::)
You are all so biased its not even funny.
The RFC slaughters its draft pics year after year, and you say give them a go :banghead
Yeah, lets promote Hicks and give him a game :banghead
We promote Polak before round 1 and dont play him :banghead
Pointless arguing with idiots !

Fyfe was good, but so was Astbury in his first game. Astbury was taken 1 round later than Fyfe. You then try to compare an early 2nd round pick and a late 3rd round pick. There's a reason for that. Give it time. Dea has played less than 10 games in his entire football career. You choose to completely ignore valid points, such as Dea thrashing Jones and 2 other forwards (can't recall who) in the VFL. St Kilda were going to take Dea with their next pick if we didn't take him at 44, so that gives you an indication of how he was rated.
You'll hear no argument from me regarding taking Hicks over Barlow. I thought it was a big mistake at the time. Ditto to the Polak decision though Graham's dad has just died, hence the black armbands on the weekend. He may come in for Riewoldt if Hardwick wants to give Jack a kick up the ass.
Our drafting has gotten better, but I think Craig Cameron has to go. FJ has been alright.

I rest my case.
WHY WOULD ANY AFL CLUB USE A DRAFT PICK ON A PLAYER WHO HAS PLAYED LESS THEN 10 GAMES IN HIS LIFE IS BEYOND BELIEF.
And , you watched him kick? Its embrassing
-
Once again, St Kilda were going to take Dea with their next pick. There were others that were keenly interested too (Brisbane and North). That's 3 AFL clubs, two of which are serious flag contenders.
I have watched him kick, and it's good at VFL level. He's probably just struggling with the pace of the game at AFL-level. Even Martin was astounded at the difference in the pace of the game between the NAB Cup and Round 1 of the H/A season. If a gun like Martin takes a little bit to adapt to the game, we can give Dea a bit of time.
-
Good point Danog! Time is all we have on our side at the moment. there is no rush with these kids. Our rebuilding is gonna take years. Give Dea games and we will find out whether he is part of the future. if not, we will keep turning it over until we get the squad right.

Well slightly agree,
Dea isn't AFL standard and writing anyone off after 2 games is just a waste of breath.
Fyfe was good for a first gamer. Barlow is years older than Dea.
Sure I'd have loved Barlow at Richmond. But we have what we have and complaining and crying over how ugly our children are isn't going to help them make friends or excel at school.
We all know how you can't stand Rance but even you'd have to take your hat off at his shots for goal. Who knows Jack is it possible for players to improve as time goes on.
Not every draftee has to be a Chris Judd or Lance Franklin.

Mate, Dea cant even kick :banghead
One play I thought I was watching Duncan again lol

When Melbourne took Jack Watts over Nic Nat all the so called experts and the media said it was the best choice. He came from a basketball background and everyone knew he would take time to come along and Melbourne are still being patient. We pick up Matt Dea with pick 40 something and as noted other teams were going to pick him. After 3 games some people hear are already saying get rid of him, how about giving a kid a break for gods sake. No wonder some of our players fail if they happen to come onto these boards (which wouldn’t surprise me at all). All this negativity after a hand full of games they are labelled as useless.
-
Mate, whats the use of picking up a player who cant kick :banghead
You obviously want RFC to stay on the bottom :banghead :banghead
I DONT !
-
You need to get your eyes checked, Jack. He can kick, but is panicking due to the shock coming from the massive increase in pace going from VFL to AFL footy. It doesn't help that our team currently shepherds / blocks the least in the AFL. That will come with time.
-
Not sure Dea will make it.
I reckon even now it's too late to teach him to kick.
Let him try & develop at Coburg because right now he looks like a fish out of water.

In Brisbanes Best, getting better each week, yep a real spud ::) ::) ::)
He's always gotten his share of the ball but he's a freakin turnover merchant!

In Brisbanes Best, getting better each week, yep a real spud ::) ::) ::)
1. Every one of his kicks was an up-and-under kick, which allowed Sydney to set up their zone.
2. He had at least 5 instances of panicking and giving a team-mate a hospital handpass.
3. He was DIRECTLY responsible for 2 Sydney goals.
4. 2 frees against and 3 clangers.
He was bad again.

Got caught in posession tonight. Holding the ball. Other than 2006 he lost every evasive skill he had at Richmond. I thought he was quite ordinary too. The pressure will start mounting on Voss if they lose a few more with his top ups. RIght now hw can afford to play these blokes to justify his top ups whilst Brissy are in the mix but if they start falling away from the top the question is whether he will have the conviction to drop blokes like Raines and McGuire for others on the list.
Raines to me is a dud in a good side that right now can still be carried. I'll give it a few more weeks.

What does Richmond have to do with it? We're not talking about Richmond. We're talking about Andrew Raines.

I loved his double blind turn out of trouble which the commentators were climaxing over right until he popped up this dolly handball that put his team mate under pressure so he didn't get possession

You highlight Raines, have a look at Rance , Connors, Jackson ::) and co.

Some of those guys may or may not make it but again what's that got to do with Rainesy's turnovers?
It was definitely the right decision to trade him off and we did well to get a draft pick in return who may one day have the chance of becoming a good footballer which is what Andrew is not. He is making the same errors he did at Richmond. :rollin
By the time Brisbane realise what a spud they have on their hands he won't be of such value.

He was average at best last night. Unsighted in the first half, turnovers galore, running into trouble - Groundhog Day anyone? And as for being in their best? :lol Only in one match report that I could find, not mentioned in any game reports. He has not changed or improved since his first year at Richmond.
-
Schulz dropped, Raines 'injured'.
-
No sign of JON either.
Some things don't change Magic ;)

Not huge losses, just can't understand the fuss.

Well my ex spud of the week (out of the few who are actually playing) was Andrew Raines.
His team got beat so as a HBF he would have seen a fair bit of the ball and what stats does he return
- 7 kicks
- 9 handballs
and wait for it
Not one bloody tackle
What a spud
And the funny thing is that unless the Lions pull their finger out they wont be playing finals
-
:lol :lol
On the Port Adelaide Big Footy board, in the changes for next week thread, nearly every poster wants shultz dropped, with many wanting him never to be selected again.
:ROTFL
Good to anal rape someone else at the trade table for once.
-
I hope he plays and plays a shocker. May be our only win on the day. :help
Would hate to see him play and watch him kick 6 marking them lace out from Rodan whilst Farmer fumbles.
Need to get a 3 seater couch if it transpires like this. :help
-

Hopefully TB Farmer will not fumble the ball next week against Port, because he won't be in.

Raines is just Jordan McMahon with a slightly better haircut.

Agree. Trading Schulz was the right move because it looks like we've found a half decent player in Nason. Can't say the same for Farmer based on what we have seen.
As for Rainsey?
5 losses in a row now for Brisbane.
How's them finals prospects looking? :whistle
-
A couple of ex-Richmond spuds are now other team's spuds.
Raines & Schulz omitted this week.

How bad did raines look last night. I dont know his stats but just looking at his style of play gave me a real sense of relief he is no longer on our list. Indecisive and poor disposal at its best.
-

22 disposals @ 64% efficiency. Which poster on here said we would rue the day we let him go - that he was a good player being held back by a crap team? :lol
It was sooooooo much of the same old Andrew last night, whenever he got the ball we were always a good chance to get it back and that happened on a number of occasions.
-

Thanks Smokey he got more of it then I thought he got then. However that disposal efficiency is shocking it is not like Martin or Cotch getting the hard ball in the middle with opposition players hanging off him.
-
Raines is a really good bloke, but unfortunately he think she's a lot better than what he is and he plain and simply can't play football at the required level.
His disposal under pressure is in the worse 5% of the AFL. In todays game where your under pressure to dispose of the ball with nearly every disposal he's a huge liability.
In the first half he had 4 disposal turn overs that resulted in scoring shots think it was 2 goals 2 behinds. He had a better 2nd half but was horrible in the first half.
White and Raines shared the honours but I'm very very happy to see Raines in other colours. For every good thing he does he'll do 2 bad things. Regardless of how Dea turns out I'm happy we have let Raines go.
-
Oh l like this thread :lol
Raines ;D gone & forgottten :rollin
-
See Schulz kicked 7 today for Port against the Roos, they still lost though.

Jay was talented but would only do good things in very short bursts. Never got enough of the ball. Happy for him that he kicked 7. It was the right decision to let him go
-
Rainesy playing finals :lol
He still wouldn't be getting a game at Richmond.
Well done to Schulz but he needs to back it up, to date he's never done it.
-
Rainesy dropped tonight from an out of form Brisbane side that's only won something like one of its past 8 games
http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/97181/default.aspx
-
Funny thread.
Thank goodness Voss was dumb enough to give us a draft pick for Rainesy.
Heat is on up in Brisbane!
-
Well I misread Voss.
I thought he was on the money topping up while Brown, Black, Power were still at or near their peak and before GC17 stole the show, but it appears to have backfired.
Looking at their list now, it reminds me of ours late 90s/early 00s.
Couple of gun tall forwards (Richo & Otenns vs Brown & Fev), few decent midfielders/HBFs but ultimately lacking numbers and some of them lacking pace (Knights/Campbell/Bowden/Broderick/Cameron etc, Black/Power/Rich/Sherman etc) big CHB who'll get beaten by a more mobile opponent (Ben Holland vs. Merrett). A fair bit of recycled 'talent' on our side back then too.
Not watched them enough this year to look at their kids, but their going to be ordinary for the next 5 years you'd reckon.
-
Patto dropped by the Saints again after just one game in.
-
Shulz dropped tonight so Josh carr can play in Williams' final game as coach- source, abc.

hmm i was one highly critical about their trading but in fairness to voss they have had an absolute shedload of injuries to players. you cant plan for that.
they still have a very small window with the way he has gone get all players up and fit next yr and they stay healthy they may have an opportunity. but like it is for nearly all sides out side the top 3 or 4 injuries to 3 or 4 of the wrong players yet alone 10 or more and you come toppling down.
-
Patto dropped by the Saints again after just one game in.
someone please tell me how he gets a game at all at St Kilda!
-
Shulz dropped tonight so Josh carr can play in Williams' final game as coach- source, abc.
He kicked 7 goals two weeks ago.
In that case why didn't they wheel out Donald Dickie also?
-
The excuse according to Ch 7 was Schulz had some back complaint. If that was the case though why did they bring in a small like Carr in for a tall ???.
-

That'd be from the knife in it to get Carr in the side.

one possibility raised by i think Ch 9 was that Carr could be retiring after this game.

I'd prefer this news if it was Raines. I've got nothing against Patto. It was the right decision for us to delist him last year though.

gee l thought he go alright J ;D maybe the hawks will have there chance now :lol
-
Honestly, watched him play at the Northern Knights, and i was amazed when he was picked up by an AFL. ::)
Never ever could bend down to pick the ball up and was therefore hopeless below the knees.
The biggest joke was the saints then picking him up.
just goes to show what idiots are making decisions at AFL clubs ;)
-
He was highly on the Hawks radar before he came to the Tigers & they were still interested in him before he went to the Saints.
But its obvious his not upto it :lol maybe he can apply for something down here haha
-
Patto was the proverbial in-betweener. Too slow off the mark to play forward yet had no real height or leap to be a ruckman. He may have been okay 10-20 years ago but the game has changed. In the end the typical Richmond "make-up" selection for not picking a KPP earlier on in the 2004 draft. We did the same with Cleve when we took JON with our first pick in 2005. We paid the price for the same mistake in back-to-back drafts :-\.
-
Not to mention trading for Kane Johnston and ending up with a down graded pick used to get schultz or trading for Polly. Good strategy miller!
Thank god for Jack!

agree with mightytiges. Also I believe he just didn't get enough of the ball. He would go missing in matches
-

You can't buy experience like that.
-
The new ruck rules brought in a year or two after Patto was drafted ruined any chance he had of playing in the ruck, which I imagine was the intention given he was never going to make it as a forward.
-

I know you're "trying" to be funny, but getting his hands on the ball wasn't really Patto's problem

Better than being just "Trying" I guess. ::) Someone get Mr Gaspo as this guy really needs to lighten up.
-
Patto averaged 11 possies, 7 hitouts over his 66 games and kicked just 16 over 6 seasons. That's why he's been delisted by two clubs. Neither made it as a ruckman nor forward.

24 years old. Turns 25 in March.

Port's summary of the ex-Tigers on their list......
Danny Meyer
Danny played half-back for the last six or seven weeks of the season and did a good job. Matty Primus has worked hard with him in terms of him being competitive and aggressive and we’ve seen that improvement. He played on the likes of Austin Wonaeamirri and also Cyril Rioli. He showed the potential we thought he had. He’s been in the system a long time now and really needs to make a decision if he wants to be an AFL player and find some consistency in his game.
David Rodan
Watching him come back from injury and play the way he did was remarkable. His work around clearances; ability to break away and his speed and agility is exciting. He’s still developing his game and needs to keep working on his transitional running to be a consistent performer, but we know how brilliant he is around the stoppages.
Jay Schulz
Schulz was one of the finds of the season. From round 13 onwards he kicked the fifth-most goals in the competition. He thrived on not having a Matthew Richardson or Warren Tredrea around him and has the ability to be our key forward for the next five years. It’s really just up to Jay whether he wants to do it.
http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/104119/default.aspx
-
Meyer has been promoted off Port's rookie list today. So Port now have 3 ex-Tigers on their senior list.

We have a couple more they can have to make it a fab 5 if they want it
-
Don't send anyone to Port. I don't want to see anyone else go there so they can kick multiple goals every week. :help
They will probably draft Jordy Mac and he'll be All Australian next year. ;D
-
I reckon our coaches were writing similar things about Meyer and Schultz 3-4 years ago "it's up to them if they want to make it".
Someone should throw some straws at Matty Primas
-
Polo looks to be on the outer at the Saints as well. Dropped this week.

Played ok but totally spoiled it with a few shocking turnovers. Could be the end for him. Similar game to Andy Collins last ( and possibly final ) game for Carltank.
Tiges did the right thing getting rid of both those guys

You'd reckon they'd give him another year unless he's really horrible for the rest of 2011
They've just been given a big financial chop out from the AFL so they might cut their losses ?
-
l'm sure he will go around again, l really hope he comes good & can show the talent he had as a TAC player.
l think becoming a father very early in life has played a major role in not rising to the level & consistency staying there. You dont see many 18 year old fathers in League football.
In fact l cant think of any other player who has.
-
Polo will be delisted end of year
So will Meyer & JON
Where's Raines? Think he's gawnski
Tambo, D-Rod and Schucks will go round again
They'll get some friends next year when we delist the next batch

Schucksy has 5 early in 3rd quarter.

A mixed bag for our ex-spuds. Not much competition admittedly but credit where it's due to Polo who played well last night in the role he was given whereas I was surprised Tambo was the Crows 4th highest possession getter as I didn't notice him at all. Thanks for the end of first round pick Adelaide :thumbsup.

Polo can play

Always could but needed the kick up the backside by being de-listed.

Polo was BOG in his first game
Has the ability
Most on this forum "cream their pants"" when a first year player get 10 possesions ::)

No they don't. And Polo's debut was a good 6 years back Jack. I was a fan too.

Watched the game as well. Tambling was very good inside. One of the few Crows prepared to get his hands dirty, tackle and work for contested ball.
Funny what some are griping about on other threads.

he didn't play against us so was he injured?

I think its fair to say Chuck that Richard was not the "ready made" replacement for Andy Mc the Crows were hoping for.
BTW....a more interesting question is why has Chuck17 been "M.I.A" for season 2011. ;)
