Grimes a forced out with his hammy/tendon injury.
Fire away ..... :help
-
Griffiths out. I'm done with his pansy football. Dropped marks and just lack of anything significantly meaningful. Pee him off.
Lennon in.
Play McBean
Play anyone.
Please. :help
-
McBean is no good. Griffith is better believe it or not but Griffith would not get a game in the U11 c team. They are both weak people. Weak footballers.
-
Out: Hunt, Grigg, B.Ellis, C.Ellis, Griffiths, Grimes , Hardwick
In: Lennon, Butler, McBean , Rioli,(if fit, if not C.Ellis stays) Edwards, Elton , Williams (yes I know that's a lot of forwards but I don't care- it's also a lot of skill, Lennon, Butler & Edwards can all rotate through the middle)
Out of the backline and into the guts: Vlastuin
Into the backline :McIntosh
Vickery into the ruck, Riewoldt to the square, Hamspud decoy not the stuffing target or at least hand it of to Martin or someone
One more chance - Townsend before we have to resort to Moore...and then praying....
McBean is no good. Griffith is better
Bullshyte.
-
Hunt must go forever. :banghead
Id drop Cotchin too. He's championing the cause of all ballerinas with his dinky 20 metre specials. Theyll built a float to honour him at the Sydney mardigras if he doesn't channel his old self soon.
B. Ellis is a scardy cat. He must go through 3 pairs of panties each game.
GirlGriff has developed into a tall wimpish hermaphrodite. Well done Richmond. :clapping
Unfortunately we still have the Spud as our best ruck option. :clapping
C. Ellis. Have we ruined him already?
Ins: who is left that's any good?
-
Griff must go, headband and all. I really really like Griff and want him to succeed but jury is out. Will be his last year, needed to explode this year or at the very list be competitive. Haven't seen that in either game.
In all honesty I would sit him down and say as a forward you aren't AFL standard. If you are going to be on our list next year it will be as a ruckman. Thought this should have been done over the pre season. Bulk him up and get him ready for ruck contests. Roo, Ty and McBean are our tall forwards. Griffiths is surplus and not up to it. He has had enough chances.
-
I dunno where to start and even if I did it wouldn't make a difference to the result.
-
Well the bad news is that with Grimes out, Chaplin or Batchelor will come in.
-
Ins: Batchelor, Butler, Edwards, Maric (if fit)
Outs: Hunt, C Ellis, Grimes (inj), Griffiths (I can't defend him anyomore)
-
Round 2 and I don't care. No depth, give games to the kids
-
Get rid of Hunt, Grigg and Hampson.
-
Give one of our young ruckman a game FFS!! :banghead
-
Out: Hunt, Hampson, C.Ellis, Grimes (inj)
In: Lennon, Maric (if fit), Edwards (if fit), Batchelor.
I have been a big supporter of Griff but he was horrible this week after just being Ok last week. He stays in the side only because from the sound of the VFL reports from yesterday nobody has put up their hand to replace him. So many are in the same boat ,should be dropped but nobody has showed they are up to replace them.
Playing Hampson is like playing a man short around the ground, sure he competed in the ruck well but we get nothing else. That just wont do in todays game. Would be better off playing anybody (except Hunt) and let Vickery/Griff share ruck time. Sure we would get beaten in the ruck but would have the extra man on the ground. As for that last play, you neither go up for the big punch or stay with your man. He did neither. Not the only reason we lost but was one of the many.
Same as last year I think this game was lost at the selection table just as much on the ground. Some things stand out to us simple supporters that for some reason the selectors cant see. Dont get it.

Well said Fluff,
Interested though, don't you think we are going backwards picking Batchelor?
I'd personally be happy to keep C. Ellis in the side as we need to give him exposure at AFL level. He isn't going to learn anything in our VFL side unfortunately. We need him to get to 50 plus games as quickly as possible.
I don't think we can play Astbury and Batchelor in the same side as they both don't give much offensively, and we need attacking footballers in our backline to be able to give our forwards a chance before the opposition get players back.

Batch is in there purely as a Grimes replacement, the only other option I see is Chaplin as the reports from the VFL (not seen myself) have not really identified a better option. Its ok to say not to play them both but what options are there. Morris ? nah.
I would like to see C.Ellis play more but he just isnt getting into the play for some reason. Beleive me I want him to stay, I even picked him in my supercoach team as I though he would get plenty of games to improve. Somebody has to go out for Lennon and Edwards and he seems the most likely. I supose you could say the same about getting games into a player for Lennon and Short.

Spot on. I like C Ellis but for his sake he needs to get his hands on the pill for a few weeks in the VFL then get him back in. Griffiths is hopeless but will keep playing because we can't afford to put Ty in the ruck with our lack of key forwards.
-
l wouldn't drop Corey Ellis. Got to persist with this lad he has talent.
HUNT for being a squib. l don't care who comes in
-
Hunt played one of the worst games I've seen from an AFL player last night. I can't believe I'm saying it but Morris would have been better.
-
I think its time we try something different up forward. Lets play as many small forwards as possible! Rioli (if fit), Shorty, Titch, Butler & Lennon should all line up with Jack as our sole tall & main target. Ty goes into the ruck & Griff just goes ... somewhere? Lets scorch some grass with pace & try to kick goals in general play rather than trying to set up tedious set shots & playing slow static football up forward. We might get outmarked by taller defenders more than usual, but so what? There are more ground contests than marking contests every week, lets make the ground contests our strength up forward. At least we can be dangerous when the ball hits the ground & apply some defensive pressure!
-
Other sides seem to have easy over the back running into open goals type goals each week, we dont seem to get many at all. Is that down to our style of play or the type of players we have in our forward line?
-
Style of play, we are very defensively oriented with our set up, hence why we seem to struggle to ever get serious line breaking overlap in our game.

Well given our poor goalkicking we need to change things up because the only way we will score in excess of 100pts is to get goals from within the goal square.

Can't play defensive football when your man is 5 metres away from you. Your forever trying to catch up when turnovers are made. Hence why teams score freely against us. They don't force our mistakes. We create our own mistakes. We are our own wrst nightmare. Then we have a huge forward line which have strong hands but instead of bombing it long we over use the ball trying to get that lead & mark set on goal. Long direct football to high marking forwards win games all the time Griffiths won't learn anything being over 200cm & not leaping the pack to take a strong mark. His a danger to himself thats why he has head gear. :snidegrin If Richmond use their height & had the ball coming in long & direct we would kick 25 goals a week l reckon. We run out of clock over using the ball with 10 possies over 50 metres & sideways when 1 kick to 200cm if a better option. But then if you take the ball backwards 80 metres & turn it over then you will lose every time. Who coaches that type of poo.
-
They'll be more than demoralised after the next few matches.
MELBOURNE will beat them.
-
lol @ people blaming corey ellis
-
No ones blaming him, but he was extremely poor and needs to learn some of those efforts were not acceptable.
Crows will smash us next week

Jacob Townsend - bit shyte

With Betts in the opposition, London to a brick Morris comes back in.

C.Ellis having his first real shocker is the least of our concerns....if he get's dropped "to learn about acceptable efforts" , then so should Hunt, Griffiths, Grigg, Lloyd, Vickery, Townsend & B.Ellis at the very least....
-
Walker, Betts, Lynch, Jenkins & McGovern all dominating in the forward line against Port.
It could be a blood bath next Saturday folks. :help
-
B. Ellis is a scardy cat. He must go through 3 pairs of panties each game.
:lol
-
After watching the showdown I fear we are going to get slaughtered next week . Eddie will kick 10.
-
We seem to play much better as underdogs......
Hope to hell this comes true next week.
-
I've fallen in a quivering mess just at the thought of this game
-
I reckon we will win.
-
We'll lose a couple to the tribunal I reckon. Our outs will mostly be forced.
-
We all know Chaplin is not the answer moving forward so it is the perfect time to bring in Elton, yes Elton to play on Jenkins. I would then look to Astbury vs Walker and Vlastuin vs Lynch. Batchelor to come in vs McGovern and then the big match up.......Rance vs Betts. Could this work? We don't have a clear option for this type of player and the only one we had (Morris) has zero confidence thanks to the coaching staff IMO.
I would look to leg speed and play a small forward line with players who can kick goals. Jack, Llyod, Lennon, Short, Rioli, Edwards, Lambert, Martin, Menadue these types of players running around creating options. If we go small this would put pressure on Hartigan and Lever to find a match up but will also put pressure on us hitting leading targets :help Unfortunately Hampson will again play so Griffiths can't if this happens. Vickery to play forward at times and relief ruck.
The outs will be interesting. Grimes inj, Hunt and Griffiths are a lock. C.Ellis could pay the price this week with Miles on notice. Miles could be playing injured but so far he has been missing in action.
We could do with a Deledio and a Yarran right about now :banghead
-
Can anyone tell me how Castagna went the other night?
From what I heard ;) "he took some big steps forward"
Might not be too far away... Hopefully

U can stuff around as much as U like with lineups but the truths are
1- the list is a joke
2- the lack of professional depth is even funnier
3- the coach has NFI as proven by his pre season statement regarding the depth we now have.
Choosing a team and shuffling Chaplins in for Griffiths usa sign of the times
Wake the stuff up u clowns. They have fuckd it good and proper.
Won't even beat MELBOURNE or Essendon.

The Barometer - Round 3

RICHMOND
ON THE BLOCK: Dylan Grimes was a casualty in the one-point loss, and scans will determine the extent of his issues. Damien Hardwick said it was “a tendon issue behind the knee”. There will be plenty of other Tigers just as nervous about being axed following another unacceptable fadeout.
ON THE CUSP: Shane Edwards (hand) should return, but Brett Deledio continues to be frustrated by a quad injury. He hasn’t counted himself out of a return this weekend and as of Friday Deledio was running well, but still unable to kick without discomfort. Ivan Maric (back), who has missed the Tigers’ opening two games, is listed as a “test” on the Richmond website. The VFL side was belted by Essendon, but Adam Marcon (25 possessions, eight clearances) and Andrew Moore (21 and five) could press for promotion.
GLENN McFARLANE’S FORECAST: It’s going to be fascinating to see Hardwick’s reaction to the loss to Collingwood. Does he make wholesale changes or stick with the group that he has? Brett Deledio is unlikely to be back for the clash with the Crows, with the belief he is still another week away with his quad issue. Ivan Maric (back) will be monitored, while the Tigers will be desperately hoping Shane Edwards (hand) is not far away.

Richmond is unlikely to regain star midfielder Brett Deledio for next Saturday night’s critical game against the in-form Adelaide Crows, but should have Shane Edwards back from a hand injury that required surgery.
Ruckman Ivan Maric, who like Deledio missed the opening two rounds, is considered a better than even money chance to play against the Crows, who embarrassed Port Adelaide in Saturday’s Showdown.
The Tigers will have to find a replacement for Dylan Grimes.

---------------------------------------------------------
Maric has missed the first two rounds of the season with a back injury, while Edwards injured his hand in the season-opener against Carlton.
“Both are available at this stage, providing they get through training this week, but we’re looking forward to having them back,” Burge said.

I still don't know how you can play so quickly after a fractured metacarpal, even if it has been plated.
Surely it would affect your ability to mark the ball, punch and handball and overall touch...... :whistle
-
As moronic as this sounds - Morris has to play on Eddie otherwise he will chop us up. He may still chop us up.
Horses for courses.

You say that as if you expect him to be an improvement over Hammer, WP.
Ivan played, what? A half a practice match? Where he looked mighty well cooked.
I hope I'm surprised by his resurrection.

Yep he cant really jump much
But around the ground he is a massive improvement om what we had the first 2 rounds.
He can take a contested mark amd he can kick a goal
But most of all we need his lesdership and that's a good enough reason tp bring him in

RICHMOND
The Tigers will be bolstered by important half-forward Shane Edwards this week after he recovered from minor hand surgery.
Ruckman Ivan Maric (back) should also return for his first game this season if he can get through training this week without any setbacks.
Richmond's backline depth will further be tested by the absence of Dylan Grimes (hamstring), but experienced defenders Troy Chaplin and Jake Batchelor are both waiting in the wings after finding themselves on the outer this season. Key defender Chaplin has been an emergency in the first two rounds and could get his chance.
As has hard-bodied on-baller Andrew Moore, who would be an in-form option if Damien Hardwick swings the axe in the midfield.

Edwards back but Lids and Ivan still missing for Tigers
AFL.com.au
7 April 2016
STAR Richmond forward Shane Edwards has recovered from hand surgery and will line up for the Tigers against Adelaide on Saturday.
Edwards broke a bone in his hand in the round-one win over Carlton and missed last week's one-point loss to Collingwood.
It is some relief for the Tigers who are dealing multiple injury concerns. Brett Deledio (quad) is still unavailable and big man Ivan Maric (back) is still under a cloud.
With versatile defender Dylan Grimes also sidelined for two weeks with a hamstring injury, the Tigers could look to small defender Steven Morris or key-position player Troy Chaplin this week.
Backman Jake Batchelor is also waiting in the wings as the Tigers plot a way to shut down Eddie Betts, who booted five goals against Port Adelaide in round two, and the Crows' dangerous tall timber (Josh Jenkins, Taylor Walker and Tom Lynch).
Hardwick confirmed important half-forward Edwards would return after missing one match, but was less convincing on ruckman Maric.
"We'll see how he goes with training," Hardwick said of Maric, who has battled a back injury.
"He hasn't played a lot of footy over the first five or six weeks with NAB Challenge, so we'll see how we go.
The coach said Deledio had not progressed with his recovery from a quadricep injury this week and was still only able to kick with a children's size football.
