Grimes injured?
Better INs!
Why rush Deledio for? We should have defeated the Bulldogs last week with out him and it's the same as this week and next week!
-
:gobdrop
Vickery?
-
Obviously our coaches don't see the need for speed :-\
-
Bringing in Vickery is sure to improve forward 50 tackles and lose ball gets ...... possibly for the Lions, but not for the Tigers!
-
Playing Chaplin and Astbury in defence at the same time will kill our mobility.
-
Fair injection of class there. Pretty happy.
Sadly, we just don't have any quick players putting their hand up. Nothing we can really do about the speed factor at the moment.

We lose this and.....well, its gonna be alot to take ffr Richmond supporters..... gonna be the king tide of collective meltdowns.... :-[
But let's get behind the boys and give them a chance at redemption :gotigers
-
ah what a joke not one player dropped. not one hard decision made. no line in the sand from the coaches it seems.
hmm im tempted to pick the lions but they have their own injury problems.
-
Claw, I'm not always on your side. But your last 5 or so posts have been spot on.
This line in the sand crap needs to start from the top. Hasn't happened and sick of the weak decision making by the people at top.
Anyway, not surprise.
Good luck to the boys and good luck to knights hopefully stays healthy and becomes a permanent on the hff.

what if we win and its the same horrid standard that it was against carlton. does the win really matter then.
injuries or not 6 yrs into a rebuild we should be putting to the sword fledgling sides like brissie especially after a sluggisg start to the yr.
play poorly and win it wont mean a thing
win with authority playing a ruthless brand of footy and the win will mean something at least.
-
If the team remains as is then it's a much better side than last week

ah nothing but smart arse comments from the kid. .i really wish just once you could add somnething of substance to a discussion, sad to say it just isnt going to happen with you is it. you really need to grow up and start acting like a mature person who can think further than the next one liner, stop being the 10 yr old you come across as.
-
Obviously our coaches don't see the need for speed :-\
so you put more importance on a players pace than how often he gets the pill?
Nope
But as was shown last week when you don't have the pill, you need to be able to chase those who have it.
Last week we were exposed for our lack of leg speed and I reckon other sides would have made a note of that
-
so do you play a fast paced bloke who cant get a kick or a slower paced footballer who gets plenty?

how old are you willy me im what most youngsters would call ancient.
if i was a betting man id say most tiger supporters over 45 are exactly like me. in fact id say most supporters from all clubs over that age are the same.
we get wise we mature and footy isnt the be all end all that it was when we were young. it doesnt mean we stop loving our clubs or stop looking at what needs to be done.
you get to a stage where you can take it or leave it win lose or draw.you dont have to watch a game live you can watch it later and do other things. its a great place to be you can actually be more objective without all the emotion.
getting older does it make me a bad supporter. well chucky the child thinks so but i gather he has a bit of growing up to do. nope im not a bad supporter i just have other things in life that are just as important or more important than footy. footy isnt the whole world.
mate i love the club im desperate for a premiership but i dont need to watch the game at any cost i will do other things i like and watch the game later. i actually am at a stage where unquestioning support is not a given. they need to earn my support doing the same things over and over expecting the same results is stupidity and i wont support it. i ned something to make me want to support em and im not getting that atm. ordinary list ordinary performances and we get spin. let em flog that sort of stuff off to little chucky.
anyway i just realised its a night game so i will watch it live. not that it matters.
-
so do you play a fast paced bloke who cant get a kick or a slower paced footballer who gets plenty?
Depends on what the slow bloke does with football when gets it.
most blokes who lack pace but find plenty of the ball do so because they are natural footballers.
natural footballers generally tend to use the ball pretty well.
surely a pacey player who uses his pace to win possession and burn off his opponents is of more benefit than one who just uses his pace to run down the enemy

geez i agree id take it further and say a slow mid is usually inside or a ball winner,, primary goal win the ball dish it out to blokes with pace and skills. sometimes you are blessed to get blokes who go get it burst away and then hit a target,
-
I've just got to note that the only Richmond player that I saw run down a Bulldogs player with pace from behind, lay an effective tackle & win a free for holding the ball was Chris Newman.
He was also the only bloke that I saw kick a goal from outside 50.
I did see him fail & struggle at times too, but I also saw him trying his guts out when others had checked out. I may have missed some good things from other players, but I didn't miss Chris Newman doing those things. Credit where its due.
And yet some wonder why he gets a game .... ::)

all fair points mate. but seriously does he give enough week in week out does he constantly perform a rle . i know id be great if we had players meeting all kpis, but we dont we have few, even more reason why newman should yeild to a yougster with good attributes for what ever role we have for him.
he may lay the ODD effective tackle, HES LAID 3 IN TWO GAMES. he may kick the ODD goal outside 50, HES KICKED ONE GOAL but we arent getting any thing else.

Does no one apart from Willy simply watch them and barrack for them because they just like the team? If you get zero enjoyment from just watching them do their thing good or bad, frustrating or not then I don't know why you bother even talking about them?

Well, it's like this, Mr Right.....
The thing with the formative years is, they're formative.
We are the byproduct of base level marketing, Australian social peer pressure and having grown up playing the game.
When something is wrong with something you think you hold dear to yourself, then like minded Genius will bond.
You're really quite lucky to witness such.
That and it's really fun watching the happy citizens revel in ignorance.
-
I know a few people that just watch them cos they like the players and don't care about the result

It's an interesting theory not without merit.
Psychologists reckon that as adults we are programmed to seek out partners which take on the relationship we had with our parents when we were young.
So if ones Dad was an arse and a control freak, we are drawn to the tension of partners that behave similarly.

Agree. Leg speed critical. Badly exposed last week.
-
so which of our speedy players should have got a game and can adequately compensate for not getting the ball by being able to run down the opposition?
-
Out: Grimes (hamstring), Petterd (foot)
makes me happy to see these 2 out ;D
-
2:44pm: Here are some players to watch after injury concerns of varying degrees were raised during the week:
Richmond - Shane Edwards (calf), Nick Vlastuin (hand)
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-04-17/late-mail-live-fridays-team-news-and-whispers
-
Do we know which of the emergencies flew up?
:cheers
-
I hope Vlastuin is OK. Because the guy is a gun and I have him in my supercoach team.
-
Both Edwards and Nick trained tonight
-
I saw you there tonight JackStar. :clapping
-
I hope Vlastuin is OK. Because the guy is a gun and I have him in my supercoach team.
Reckon Vlas would need a few more decent games under his belt before we can start labelling him as a gun :-\
-
He was excellent in round one
-
He was excellent in round one
One game Bateman, I'm a believer but he needs to string some games together.
-
Anyone else nervous with hampson as emergency ?
-
He was excellent in round one
Against minimal to zero opposition pressure.
And if you don't believe Carlton are that bad, keep an eye on the score against Essendon today from 2pm
-
Anyone else nervous with hampson as emergency ?
Yes and no. Maric has been stinking it up to the point that Hampson (unfortunately) may be about to go past him.

How'd that go?

What did everyone think of Astburys first game back, did he play with more sting??

im glad you can see it too. good onya.
playing a very young and poor side maric should not be needed. we rest the big lug and we keep hampson up to speed just in case big ivan does get hurt. yep im glad you could see it too. ::)
-
What did everyone think of Astburys first game back, did he play with more sting??
A resonable first game concidering what he has missed. Not sure what you mean by sting but in think he will always look like he is cruising, you know the type ? I expect him to be our gorilla foward stopper and to do a bloody good job of it.

It was a joke. A reference to Ast' being stung by a stingray.
Thought he looked solid.
I don't think he'll ever be a prolific ball winner. He will beat his man more often that not though.
