this could get ugly this week..

but good to see a lot of new faces in the side, would've preferred Gourdis to Post myself.
Looking fwd to seeing Browne play, morton on a wing and to see how Rance has come along after an extended stint in the twos.

WOW :gobdrop.

We needed more fire power in the team so I am happy to see Morton & Postie in the team.(I am picturing WP choking on his afternoon coffee as we speak)

Not too unhappy with the outs.You cant make any more excuses for Ritchie.Blind freddy could tell Tyrone needed a rest.

Polos last chance.

Yes I am over the moon - it fantastic

He really deserves it

Post In! Look out for another rant from WP! :lol

What's the point

The powers that be obviously think it is a good thing to reward players who show now intensity at the contest, no defensive pressure and have been running around for Coburg in what can only be described as in a daze

So who am I to argue?

Does Gourdis deserve to be confused and disappointed in missing about again? Nah of course not

And finally I will be very interested to see how young Jayden plays, to see if all things he HASN'T been doing at Coburg he actually does playing for Richmond. If he does I'll be happy and be the first to say he did well.

I will also be very interested to see if people watch his defensive efforts (chasing, pressuring etc) and what people actually think of them

Oh and just one more finally on the other selections: Great to see BrownE get a game - well deserved and can anyone explain to me how Nahas has managed to retain his spot   :o Beggars belief

Happy with ins. Hope Taylor and Gourdis get a chance next week. Agree it could be ugly. Agree this is polo's last chance. Does Polo have a future at Richmond?

Great inclusions. Post can play Rance not to sure about.
Good to see Browne finally in the team. Well deserved.
Equally good to see my favourite player finally getting what he deserved.

I have one question for all you nuffers.
HOW DOES NAHAS GET A GAME :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :chuck
Champion data have a new stat this week, how many times does Nahas fall over ::)
Title: Re: Richmond Team vs Collingwood
Post by: mightytiges on July 22, 2010, 07:10:34 PM
Nahas is lucky there are so many outs due to 'injury'. The only reason I can think of as to why he's still in the side (on top of tanking  ;) ).

Seems Goo won't be at Punt Rd next year. If he can't get a game with many of our regular defenders out of the side then he never will. I'm not surprised though as I never thought he'd make it.

It appears after the North loss we are back to full-on thinking about the make-up of the side in 2-3 years time. That would explain some of the ins.

Post by: RollsRoyce on July 22, 2010, 07:12:05 PM
Rapt with the outs, bar Cotchin obviously, but what can you do when Justice is not only blind, but deaf and paricularly dumb?
I like the ins too,mostly. Except, I would have left Nahas out and brought Gourdis in as CHB, releasing Astbury into the forward line to give us three talls up front.
And what's all this tank talk MT? I think we've done almost as well as we possibly could to cover the deficiences the MRP has left us with on their last 2 "rulings".

Why promore Goo if he won't play with us next year? Is it to possibly gain currency at the trade table? If so then he should be palying anyway!

Love Jake King named on the ball.

I checked a copy of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and it said if anyone ever found out the answer to that question the universe would suddenly rearrange itself into something even more complicated and unexplanable as to why Nahas retained his spot  ;).

Or we know that he will be on the list next year and we'd rather look at players who still have ? marks over their futures
Bit silly to read too much into it like that

Goo has been on our list since the 2007 PSD (3 years in the system) and is yet to make his debut. If there is a player with a ? on whether he'll make it at AFL level it's Dave. Hard to see any player lasting beyond 3 years on an AFL list these days without playing a single game. Eventually we have to make the call.

I have worked out the reason he is still there. He has a SEP field surounding himself so when it comes to selection nobody even notices he is there so he cant get dropped. 

Now watch the universe be replaced by two zebras in bikinis playing ping pong.

Read the books people   ;D

(Ok I made the Zebra bit up)

The answer is depth and team make up.

Plus there is an extended bench. Who replaces Nahas? Hicks?

When have Simmonds and McMahon still on the list as dead weight, injuries to players in your best 22 and 2 players suspended...  you don't have much left.

I know that WP isnt happy with Post in.

I strongly believe that his body language is misread.

I can however see how someone would interpret it as being negative and not interested. I can tell that it isnt though.

I know that Postie is really excited about his opportunity to play tomorrow, he has worked very hard on and off the field and is a lot stronger this year compared to last.

I hope that he can prove his worth tomorrow.

I am also really happy for Browne, Rance, Polo and Morts. They have been working their buts off with the Burgers and totally deserve selection also.

Like the outs but agree Nahas should have been chopped if we were making big changes.
