I reckon they should just play the record
-
Hopefully they dont wallpaper over thr cracks with the line of questioning to the Sob
-
Structures are good.
KPI's are good
We just got beaten in defensive 50 footy in the final against Carlton last year but Blair Hartley on a couple of hundred thou a year can sleep easy at night just like me because I'm still great mates with Clarko.
-
6 out of 10 no doubt
-
Terrific Just Terrific ;D
-
I thought the boys were outstanding when they were challenged. ;D
-
Just bumping this up as Dimma will be on in an hour's time.
-
Look when the game was there to be won it was players like Shed Edwards, Newman, Pettard and Grigg who showed us the way. That is why they are first picked each week and always will be.
Look Tyrone is enormously important to our structures and he'll be straight in next week

Summary
* Yeah it has been a bit of a flat start to the year; not playing the type of footy we want to play; copped a few injuries.
* Type of footy is a mixture of the opposition not allowing you to play your way and you not playing your way consistently. We've changed 6-8 players from same side last year so we've been inconsistent. We haven't been playing on as quick off half-back. Missed Lids and Houli is only just finding his best footy again in the last week or two.
* Dusty - played at half-back to improve his defensive side. Been used down back, midfield and forward in a number of roles.
* They displayed a stat about our Defensive 50 to Inside Forward 50 transition being 17th in the AFL. Port is No.1.
* Dimma said the defensive side of the game is strong early on in the year as everyone has been working on it during the preseason but the game opens up as the year goes along as fatigue sets in.
* Jack is a footy brain. Studies the game like no other and goes thoroughly through vision of his game. He only played one preseason game so he had a slow start. Getting the balance right now between his forward line play and pushing up. We believed he was too heavy last year and had lost his leap; he's lost some weight and got that leap back now.
* Moneyball - we had to find another way to rebuild our list with GWS and GC grabbing the bulk of the top end picks. We believe all those players are playing a role for us.
* We've got some outstanding top end talent. We are waiting for the next tier to come through - Ellis, Conca, Dusty.
* Individually, Jack, Vickery and Griffs were playing okay but together we were too top heavy. Ty has kicked 8 goals but he knows we want more defensively from him. He is halving the contests but the modern game needs forwards to push up and that's an endurance issue which he needs to get better at. He is a competitor despite off-field perceptions.
* Kingy - Got a severe toe injury. Dimma admitted we brought him back early and sore tried to get him through. The toe injury has flared up again and he needs to do a mini preseason now and have a break.
* Tagging - got to give McCaffer credit. The umps aren't paying frees so that's the way it is. We've shown our guys vision of McCaffer and Crowley to show how tagging is done.
* Holding the ball needs a bit of addressing. Question marks over the line between some disposals and what is dropping the ball.
* Are the Hawthorn & Geelong games season defining?
We've beaten Hawthorn the last two times we've played them and haven't beaten Geelong in his time at the Club. You've got to look forward to playing the better teams. We'll get Lids, Rance and Ivan back soon so we've just got to hang tough.
* What if you do lose both games? Criticism comes with the territory. It's about winning games and getting the job done consistently. Hawthorn played well today yet lost but because they usually and regularly win in big games they will get through today's lost unscathed. That's where we need to get to - being able to win the big games consistently.

TALKING FOOTY — SEVEN MATE
RICHMOND coach Damien Hardwick was the special guest.
He described Jack Riewoldt as a “football brain”.
“He studies the game like no player I’ve ever seen. He’ll come in and get his vision, he’ll code his own games and show us things and what other players have been doing.”
Hardwick said Riewoldt has been guilty of being too unselfish but now “has that balance right”.
He said Riewoldt has lost weight to become more mobile this season.
“We thought last year he was too heavy so he lost his jump. He was a little bit too stationary, wanting to call the ball in deep. We think he plays his best footy when he’s agile and moving. We showed the guys some vision today, he made about eight leads before he got that ball off Dustin Martin in the pocket.”
THE Tigers coach also hit back at criticism from David King about Richmond’s “moneyball” recruiting strategy.
He said the club started rebuilding when most of the high draft picks were taken by Gold Coast and GWS.
“We had to find a way to get our list through to a stage where we could build.
“It’s worked well, what we’ve now got to do is get those guys to jump again.
“We’re pretty happy with those guys. They’ve come in and they’ve filled a role.
“We’ve got some outstanding top-end talent, we’re just waiting for the next tier to come through.”

Chronic toe injury to sideline Tiger Jake King
Travis King April 22, 2014
A RECURRING toe injury will keep Richmond "barometer" Jake King on the sidelines for at least a fortnight.
The small forward has suffered a flare-up of an existing injury, which has previously been operated on.
King struggled with the toe complaint while playing for Richmond's VFL team on Saturday.
Asked on Channel Seven's Talking Footy if King would return to the seniors soon, Tigers coach Damien Hardwick replied: "Probably not in the short term, he's got a pretty significant toe injury at the moment.
"Look, I love Jake King as a player and what he brings to our footy club, and I probably pushed him a little bit to play before he was quite ready from a fitness point of view.
"I think he's a barometer of our footy club. Everything he does from a spirit, passion point of view is exactly how I want my players to play and look, he's come back sore.
"He tried to go on the weekend and it's pulled up sore again."
Hardwick denied King's injury is a stress fracture.
"No, it's just he's had this toe issue that he's had operated on about three times, so it's starting to become a bit chronic," he said.
"So we've just got to make sure we pull him back a little bit. Give him a bit of a mini pre-season, give him a spell first and then get him back on track.
"So he's probably about two to three weeks away."
King has played just the two AFL games this season, the most recent against the Western Bulldogs in round three when he suffered a quadricep injury.
Meanwhile, Hardwick says key forward Ty Vickery needs to improve his defensive work-rate and endurance in order to regain his spot in the team.
The 200cm forward kicked eight goals in the first three games, but was dropped to the VFL after collecting just two touches in Richmond's 38-point round four loss to Collingwood.
"Ty knows defensively we expect a little bit more of him ... because offensively the kid can play," Hardwick said.
"As the game's evolved now, you see all the forwards press up the ground and Ty – by his own admission – that's not a strength of his and that's where he needs to develop.
"He needs to get that bigger aerobic capacity to do that."
Vickery's desire has been questioned, but Hardwick said the 24-year-old is fiercely competitive.
"That's the perception I think from the off-field, on-field he's extremely competitive," Hardwick said.
"He's a competitive kid and he'll come back, he's a proud man and he'll do some good things for us."
