Again pee poor player management. Foley, Lennon and/or McDonough should of been rested at half time. They would still play better than Edwards, Grigg, Ellis, Chaplin and most of the stuffing team named.

If the three I mentioned were underdone, why take them up there and name them as emergencies, just stuffing play them

If we win this Hardwick will think he has picked a great team and he is a champ, he will then play this team against the Cats and we will be done by 100... :banghead

If Shedwards actually stays forward and we use him as a crumbing forward, I'll be OK with that. Not over the moon because we really need a Cyril Rioli type but Shedwards has some value when he is in the forward line.

He's had one half-decent year when he kicked 29 goals....his next best return in any year is 12 goals. He's one-sidedness costs us more goals than he kicks. Liability wherever he plays.

why because until this yr there was no real expectation or real need to succeed in a way.

heres a hint of our problems though. what id term genuine mids not named.

deledio  - only walk up start not in there and hes out for god knows how long. you just dont stuff around with achilles.
gordon - looks decent hes no world beater though.
helbig = has done exactly what to date.
knights - injured would be a better option but hes not one atm
miles - well being a rookie says it all.  not an option.
williams - another rookie see miles.
could we  possibly play lennon on a wing atm  would that be an option.
yes there are other  players capable of going thru the midfield but they are not regular mids who are expected to go all day.
in effect atm there are two options 3 if you include lennon, gordon and helbig.

the depth in this area exacerbates the problems we have

Match commitee have no balls to drop players letting us down week by week because of the past.To many favourites fullstop.FFS Petterd in we a laughable.I said this week and say it again you cannot play Jackson and Thomas in the same side both limited in there roles.

Don't agree with you there.You play players on form simple as that no matter on there ability's or else you a sending the wrong messages none of this favourites business what's going on now.Miles has performed claw it was a mistake not to promote him match committee got it wrong big time.

If you play players on form, why do 90% of the team get a game week after week?

This is Richmond you get a game regardless of how crap you play.
I expect Ty to return against the Hawks next week.

Two years ago we beat Hawthorn by 10 goals and the footy world was salivating over our midfield elite in Cotch, Dusty and Lids.

Two years on and Grigg, Titch, Newy are our mainstays and the footy world has returned to normal.

Dimma you effen lied to me.

Heard Lennon has been given the all clear for his debut for Jackson.

Could be dodgy mail.

Weak effort by the club. Had an oppurtunity to make a statement to the 75% efforters in the side that they won't play if they put in performances like that. We need to blow Lions out of the blocks early and I'd prefer to see someone like Miles, Lennon, Lloyd be doing that than the down hill skiers of Grigg, Edwards and ofcourse Petterd.

Petterd will save us all. #circus

sorry georgie i didnt make myself clear. what form and what real options are there to replace a mid with a mid.  i named all of the mids not playing and only two are realistic replacements injury and rookie status means the others are not available. the point is we dont have decent mid replacements for grigg. thats why he keeps on getting games. even if the rookies were promoted and the injured fit the cupboard is shallow.

I actually agree, we can still save our current list and keep top 6 a target for the next few years if we make the right calls. We'd need something to seriously change for us to make top 6 this year but looking beyond that we cull our pretenders and C Grade list cloggers than we can still aim for that achievement. A loss to Brisbane and a few 'favourites' being scapegoated would benefit the club. Winning and then getting thumped by Hawks and Geelong will just prove our fears that the list has been compiled by depth of C Graders and all together equals a middle of the road club that can't compete with a premiership contender.

Still want us to win, but would want us to win with the likes of Arnot, Lennon, Ellis, Conca, Miles, Lloyd, blokes under 24-25 taking apart a wounded team rather than a bunch of one way runners who are post 25 in Grigg, Petterd, Edwards etc. tapping up their value to the coaching staff.

ah a poster after me heart. someone who recognises the need to take a step backward to go forward in the future.  if we are not to become a basket case very quickly this needs to happen. we have to recognise and acknowledge where the list at and bloody do something about it.  pretending we are better than we are will only cause long term grief.
how hard is it to say yep the list isnt where we thought it needed to be and we mat have to take a step back to address this.

best thing that could happen to this club right now is for us to lose against Brisbane so the pretenders get booted once and for all and hardwick gets through his noggin that most of his favorites are sh.ite!

I actually agree, we can still save our current list and keep top 6 a target for the next few years if we make the right calls. We'd need something to seriously change for us to make top 6 this year but looking beyond that we cull our pretenders and C Grade list cloggers than we can still aim for that achievement. A loss to Brisbane and a few 'favourites' being scapegoated would benefit the club. Winning and then getting thumped by Hawks and Geelong will just prove our fears that the list has been compiled by depth of C Graders and all together equals a middle of the road club that can't compete with a premiership contender.

Still want us to win, but would want us to win with the likes of Arnot, Lennon, Ellis, Conca, Miles, Lloyd, blokes under 24-25 taking apart a wounded team rather than a bunch of one way runners who are post 25 in Grigg, Petterd, Edwards etc. tapping up their value to the coaching staff.
ah a poster after me heart. someone who recognises the need to take a step backward to go forward in the future.  if we are not to become a basket case very quickly this needs to happen. we have to recognise and acknowledge where the list at and bloody do something about it.  pretending we are better than we are will only cause long term grief.
how hard is it to say yep the list isnt where we thought it needed to be and we mat have to take a step back to address this.

Im getting to the point where I like to watch us play, but you know what, I just feel disconnected from the result. Been burnt so many times as supporters and to be stuff if the players and coaches arent 110% serious why should the fans be.

The club is stuffed
Spot on. I'll watch us but I don't really care.

Hard to be all that enthusiastic watching the likes of Grigg, Edwards, Houli, Foley, Newman, Hackson, Hamspud etc plod around for the umpteenth time serving up the same old mediocrity over and over again.  None represent a a future, let alone a bright one. Add to that stars like Riewoldt, Cotchin & Martin should now be established but are getting dragged down and our soft, unaccountable gamestyle. Win or lose if we were at least blooding more kids it would be far more interesting & exciting to watch.

nope couldn't give a flying stuff.

Pettard rushed back in after being out with a calf for 1 pretty much sums it up

Always look forward to seeing the boys play.

We have gone in too tall all year so far.

Would hope Griff and Jack can work well together.

 :thumbsup

If we lose tonight I'm not watching another game all year. I've more important things to do like play golf. I'm sick of getting let down by this disgraceful excuse for a professional football club

I almost want us to lose just to see if Hardwick will finally lose patience with the team's passengers, surely the likes Grigg and Edwards would have to go, unless of course they star in a loss.

I dunno why some of you blokes don't just neck yourselves and get it over with.
Sorriest bunch of pessimistic sad sacks I've ever come across in my life.
 I don't agree with our selections either. Bringing Petterd in this week pretty much sums Dimma up to me but Geez , all the sooking , crying bunnies on here are so effin embarrassing.
 ' We're stuffed '  ' I hope we lose '  ' we're the other clubs bunnies '   'I hope Mcguane kicks goals '  blah blah blah blah blah
 Seriously effing sad.
:lol
I'v had this exact same thought myself. might even show em how to tie a noose properly.

you've summed it up perfectly, Dice
