Yep
I've had enough of Butler and Weller that peace of poo should never have been at our club to begin with
-
Thought Castagna was worse than Butler tonight.
I know he’s fresh back into the side but geez his disposal is poor.

Maybe so but was his first game back and butler has been gifted games based on his 2017 form for way too long now.

How are people not saying markov to be out??? Would drop him for that 2cm hospital handpass to Prestia that cost us a goal with 1minute legit in the third alone.

Apart from that he actually played not bad.

Astbury still looks like he is suffering gastro... has been crap so far.

Mate he was moved from defence to up forward because he was simply having no impact on the game.

Ummmm no he was moved to provide another option and run with Howe :shh

:lol

Our Half forwards were USELESS tonight. No hiding from it... They were absolutely useless. Half their drive came from the half back line. Having said that the unaccountable match ups? well bugger me dead. Was Dimma awake? And Umps??
-
:lol
Not sure why you're laughing. On the bright side, surely this was the last game Ellis has played for the club :pray
-
Can you drop 12-15 blokes?
You know the MIAs?
-
Ellis has to go back after that effort. Held onto the ball way too long a number of times. Liability when playing a high pressure side.

Out:
Weller (depth only)
Ellis (squib)
Markov (not up to it)
Grimes (susp)
Riewoldt (wrist)

Any word on Caddy?

Out:
Weller
Bellis
Grimes
Butler
Riewoldt
In:
Ross
Balta
Bolton
Houli
Garthwaite if fit, Moore or Chol if not.
On notice: Lambert, Castagna
I'd give Markov one more shot but play him forward in Weller's place.....he showed promising signs when he moved up there tonight for 10 minutes - probably more than he has in 10 matches down back ....and IIRC he was originally drafted as a hhf...... :shh

agree about Markov.
My question for those who keep saying bring in Garthwaite - isn’t he still injured and has no match fitness?

Caddy was interviewed at our pre-match function and said he'd been given the ok to play next week.
Coming via the VFL he said
-
I’d give Coleman-Jones a game in replacement of Jack.
I actually think we need to play a proper Ruck-Forward instead of dismissing this centre clearance thing as an unnecessary evil we have to tolerate playing a ruck

Balta and one of Soldo or CJ must come in.

Didn’t you say roughly the same thing about Lambert?
Something about VFL standard only??
-
I would bring in Moore for Jack.
I would play Soldo against Simpson.
I would bring in Balta to play CHB. Mrakov goes.
If Garthwaite's corkie is ok, he comes in for Grimes.
Weller goes out for Baker.
Houli in for Ellis.
Bolton unlucky. Possibly in for Lambert who is not going well at all.
-
I reckon it’s a good time of year to drop those who aren’t performing to the standard. The club needs to send the message loud and clear this week.
If your not playing the Richmond way your out! Simples really.

Yes, I agree, that would send a very loud message.

Oh look once we get Griggy back I think you'll see things turn around fairly quickly....he's just so vital to the way we structure up in the midfield..... :shh

It's actually pretty funny that we're back in the 'oh look' era....:shh Reminds me of the good old days, we're gonna get a lot of old posters back if we drop another game.

Was really disappointed by Ellis's game and believe he should be dropped after that performance. Weller needs to go as well.

I meant as a forward because that was a defensive contribution :rollin
-
So he did nothing as a forward and as a defender. Got it
VFL standard and if I'm being truthful he ain't much better than Ellis. Only difference is he can't be written off yet like Ellis

Are you off Ellis now Francois?
That has cut his supporters down by half.
-
Yeah I'm off him and have been for some time, but is he any worse than what guys like Weller, butler and lambert have dished up?
All of them have been average and if we had depth should all be dropped
-

We do have depth but most of those guys have "runs on the board" and so are given extra chances. How many extra chances should anyone be given is what most of us argue here...... :shh

If Garthwaite's corkie is ok, he comes in for Grimes.
Weller goes out for Baker.
Houli in for Ellis
I don’t mind this list, I’d leave Balta in as the unpredictable 2nd ruck/forward so he comes in for Jack. If not, I’d roll the dice and play CCJ but we know Dimma won’t play 2 rucks as he stated as much in the press conference.
Therefore, Balta in for Jack, Baker in for Weller, Houli in for Ellis, Garrhwaite for Grimes

Injury crisis may force Tigers to rush Caddy's return
AFL.com.au
Ben Collins
Mar 31, 2019
RICHMOND forward Josh Caddy could be rushed back next week without a previously planned VFL hitout, as the Tigers try to counter a season-threatening injury crisis.
AFL.com.au understands Caddy – who has overcome an ankle injury that limited his pre-season – was originally scheduled to play a half in the Tigers' VFL season-opener against Geelong next Friday night.
However, injuries to defender Alex Rance and, particularly, key forward Jack Riewoldt could force a rethink by the Richmond brainstrust, with the prospect of a potentially underdone Caddy partnering boom recruit Tom Lynch in a restructured attack now looming as a genuine possibility.
The 1-1 Tigers, who suffered a 44-point defeat to Collingwood at the MCG on Thursday night, face another tough assignment in round three against Greater Western Sydney at Giants Stadium.
Caddy feels sufficiently prepared to play immediately at AFL level without a VFL warm-up but knows he will first have to convince coach Damien Hardwick of his fitness.
"I've ticked all the boxes now, done all the training now, so I'm ready to go," Caddy told Channel Seven on Saturday night.
"What level that's at next week I'm not sure yet, but I'll have to knock on Dimma's door during the week and tell him I'm ready to go.
"There are a few spots (vacant) unfortunately, so we'll just have to wait and see. But I'm just rapt to be able to get back out there next week and have a kick.
"We've got a few young boys going pretty well – Cal Moore and Noah Balta – so I'm vying for a spot against those boys."
Caddy, 26, enjoyed a career-best 2018 season in which he kicked 46 goals – second at the club only to Riewoldt (70) – before undergoing minor ankle surgery in the off-season.
A premiership star with Tigers in 2017, the former Sun and Cat has played 139 games and kicked 143 goals.

My bad, should have been bolton in as you would have noticed in the named team if you werent so busy being a smart arse.
Not to deflect from the point all 8 inclusions and all 8 being dropped are easily justified.

The Barometer - Round 3
Sam Landsberger
Herald-Sun
1 April 2019
Damien Hardwick will coach without All-Australian bookends Jack Riewoldt and Alex Rance for the first time in his career this week, while Dylan Grimes is also set to miss through suspension. That should open the door for either Ryan Garthwaite or Noah Balta to come in, and if the Tigers opt for Garthwaite in the backline then Balta could play forward in Jack’s absence.
Richmond’s small forwards haven’t been at their harassing, attacking best and Jacob Townsend has pressed his claims in the VFL practice match circuit.
Jack Ross is close to a debut while Conor Menadue was discussed at match committee last week.
Can Toby Nankervis continue one-out in the ruck? Or will Ivan Soldo get a guernsey? Hardwick has so far been desperate to stick to the structure he knows best and play one ruckman although with Riewoldt injured that’s probably going to require Tom Lynch to pinch-hit.
Richmond was ranked last for pressure after its Round 2 loss and 16th for creating forward-half turnovers — it’s system in sharp need of fine-tuning. It’ll be a big week on the track for the Tigers and with extra emphasis on tackling drills after letting so many Magpies slip last week.

-
Not sure how our tackling technique can go from being so good to so ineffectual. It was like all the Pies players coated themselves in Vaseline, not sure if like in Rugby League they have a stat for the number of missed tackles but from what I saw we would almost top the ladder in that respect.
-
Good to see Hardwick in the press conference at least finally acknowledge that we're allowing the opposition to get handballs away in the tackle too often - it's been quite noticeable for the last twelve months and hasn't been addressed, probably because we were getting away with it and still winning for most of that time...which indicates a side still resting on its laurels..... :shh
-
Don't care who goes out but the ins should be
Balta
Garthwaite
Ross
Houli
-
Houli out for another week....#StackAttack :shh
-
Townsend should come in also.

Townsend should come in also.
Yep, we are lacking a distinct mongrel in our side atm

Mumford Kelly to return
-
Was at last season's game and I really hope they learned a lesson with the type of boots they wore. Our players were skating on ice as GWS just ran past them, very frustrating to watch at times, plus our poor goalkicking of course, George the main offender and will probably be just as wayward again.

Forget the Butler out Butler in. Just a mistake. The bigger problem is the inexperience you would be bringing in.
Garthwaite, 2 Games
RC-D, 0 Games
Balta, 1 Game
Moore, 8 Games
Stack, 0 Games
Ross, 0 Games
6 Players with a total of 11 Games experience. Not only is it not going to happen, it never should happen. Just crazy talk.

If Claw was a coach he would be the reverse Ross Lyon and refuse to play experienced players.

In the Mix - Round 3
Sarah Black
afl.com.au
2 April 2019
RICHMOND
Get them in: Draftee midfielder Jack Ross impressed in the VFL for the second week in a row, finishing with 30 disposals in a practice match against Collingwood. Ryan Garthwaite finished his second VFL game with ice on a corked thigh, while key position player Noah Balta was omitted from the AFL side with an eye on giving him a few games in defence before bringing him back into the ones.
Under the pump: Half-back flanker Oleg Markov struggled in his first AFL game since 2017, thrown forward in the last term and playing out of the goalsquare. The forward who he swapped positions with, Mav Weller, also had a very quiet game.
Medical room: Three-time Coleman medallist Jack Riewoldt will miss at least four weeks after injuring his wrist, but has escaped surgery. Hard-running defender Bachar Houli will miss a second week with a hamstring strain.
Verdict: Key forward Callum Moore has traditionally been the next goalkicker in the side and should come in for Riewoldt. Markov may make way if Richmond want an additional tall defender in Garthwaite.

100% correct...
Enough said really
-
dont care what people say but the logic is justified as is form and performance
Rance a kpd goes down should have been replaced with a kpd to me that is Balta there is only him and garthwaite as options.
Grimes gets suspended the only option left is Garthwaite again a tall defender for a tall defender.
Riewoldt goes down the best tall option remaining is Moore a tall for a tall.
Caddy is injured a big medium sized player who plays fwd with stints in midfield. what do we do we play Weller lmfao. the real option is RC-D 193cm powerful mid who could do exactly what Caddy does spend 80% time fwd with a few short stints thru the middle and in his case we get afl experince into him a win win.
Houli is injured and the best performed hb at the club atm is Stack a player unlike Houli Short and Ellis does not have defensive issues.
Grigg a bigtall mid who provides mainly run and spread jJack Ross a big mid who runs and spreads and actually uses the ball better he has been in great form
Butler has really stunk it up big time horrid and unacceptable describes him atm. Bolton has again performed in the two's and actually gives us a mid field rotation as well as a sml fwd option.
lastly id play anyone in front of Ellis and Short who both hear footsteps from a hundred paces away it should not be tolerated ever.
Want to fix structure get a bit of size and aggression into the team then the only options are younger players there is no one else, those others and there aint many with some sort of experince have mostly been shown up as not good enough.
Play the kids reward good form in the two's and stamp out the mediocrity in the seniors.
-
Honestly mate you lose all credibility when you start talking about the ball use of Jack Ross as if you've seen him play.
Not to mention bagging Short and BEllis for being soft when the guy in #23 is at the very least on par with them...:shh
-
Claw quote
"Play the kids reward good form in the two's and stamp out the mediocrity in the seniors"
Agree 100pc
-
Ross ain't Matty Suckling or Caleb Daniel but his ball use looks pretty good for an bullocking inside mid....looks better than what Prestia and even Martin are currently serving up,,,and better than what we used to see from Jackson, Tuck, Miles, Thomas, Conca, etc ,,,of course that's only in JLT & VFL practice matches so far,,, :shh
Short & Markov were drafted as forwards and that's where they should play,,,,,could almost say the same about Astbury at this point too (1/2 jk)..,,,a few blokes in the backline who shouldn't really be there... :shh :shh
-

From the man who thinks Ellis is a inside contested beast really should be the last person talking about credability.I love it it when nuffies like you show just how butt hurt you are. im sure somewhere along the line you will get something right but until then keep the laughs coming.
-
I miss the good old days when people were complaining about how the engraving on our premiership cup wasn’t centred and how our song sounded slightly different to normal and not that our game style and player performances were poor

Yeah, in my opinion Ellis is the hardest bloke to have ever crossed the white line. I know you'd take a side step if he was coming the other way....like stuffing whoa, like stuff, you know it bro....:shh
Anyway let us know how your Demons go this weekend. Because we all know that's who you're normally watching in that basement, I'm pretty sure VFL games aren't streamed in WA so I can't blame ya
-
The whole team needs to lift no doubt about it including Dimma and his crew there not escaping criticism either. Lambert,Prestia,Martin,Butler,Edwards,Rioli,Higgins,Short need to lift more fullstop stop coasting around and get back to basics.Tackling and pressure hard running starts there.

The engraving was a cheap and nasty job that didnt pay respect to the achievement.

Want to fix structure get a bit of size and aggression into the team then the only options are younger players there is no one else, those others and there aint many with some sort of experince have mostly been shown up as not good enough.
Play the kids reward good form in the two's and stamp out the mediocrity in the seniors.
Sure play the Kids. I agree. But you just cant have over a quarter (6 out of 22) of your team with little or no experience. The only experience they will get is loosing and there wont be enough experience on the park to help them out. 4 Max would be where I would draw the line. Its about what Port and Geelong are doing at the moment.

Prestia rumour - a hammy/corkie?
I do remember seeing Prestia get what looked like a corky in last weeks game. He looked pretty sore and proppy after that incident.
So it wouldn’t surprise me if he was out.

:clapping :clapping :clapping*
*Next minute: In: Menadue., Aarts :shh
-
From what I’ve heard Stack isn’t ready. Has the talent, not the discipline at the moment.
-
So he comes in for Markov....you would think....:shh
-
My changes:
In: Balta, Garthwaite, Caddy, Ross
Out: Grimes, Reiwoldt, Weller, Butler
Butler has had enough chances. Give Oleg & Brandon one more chance although Brandon for Menadue would be OK.
Garthwaite to Cameron
If Prestia out, then one of Menadue, Aarts, Baker or Bolton in
-
Watched training today
Ross I don’t think plays
Stack in for Weller you will find

Confirmed: Balta, Stack, Garthwaite in for Jack, Grimes & Weller Balsam..... :clapping :clapping :clapping

Moore should have come in that side for me be nice if he gets the chances other blokes get Ellis etc.Don't know what this kid needs to do get a chance.Dimma looking a bit silly dropping Balta last week with or without injuries.
Must say tho midfield needed a few changes let us down last 2 weeks were backing them again should have made a statement for my liking.
-
I can’t believe butler survived again.
Markov also very lucky.
-
wow a whopping three changes two of them forced. Some things just never change.

Last time I looked we only have one loss on the board. I didn't think that they'd make drastic changes after that.

Make 5 changes and we lose, fact. (Hi Jackstar)

Fact is butlers form over the past 12+ months has warranted dropping on numerous occasions and we have 2 options in Baker/Bolton who can come in for him. Don’t give me this limit on changes line. If someone is badly out of form and is replaceable then they should be.
-
Good ins IMO.
Looking forward to seeing Stack and Balta....both are long term players from what I have seen to date.
Good luck to Garthwaite too for his second go at it. He has had a pretty good apprenticeship under Rance, Grimes and Vlastuin.
Hopefully a bit of youthful enthusiasm is injected into our side as the first 2 weeks we have been flat.

They are probably going to lose regardless of the number of changes.Tolerating the type of form Butler Ellis and a few others have dished up is inexcusable.If they continue to play like that do you think we are going to win.
Grimes and Riewoldt had to be replaced with talls there was no option. We still havent replaced Rance and we have done nothing about the midfield.We continue to play a load of soft unaccountable players.
Personally i think we are a better chance of winning with
Moore for Riewoldt
Balta for Rance
Garthwaite for Grimes
Stack for Markov
Bolton for Butler
Ross for Ellis.
One thing for sure if we cant make unforced changes with the injurys we have and the putrid form of so many its likely we never will.
Two horrible performances that have yielded one win one loss and still no unforced changes.
-
What if we win with these changes? And butler kicks 3 goals?

I would love butler to kick a bag and get back to the level we know he can play at. But that doesn’t change the fact that on current form he should be dropped.

I support this. Very happy for all 3 players especially Stack. Been watching him this year at VFL level and he will fit in fine, and love his aggression!
Balta and Gathwaite will provide us structure as we need Balta for the second ruck position.

I would prefer Dimma persisteting and backing his players to get it together, even if sometimes he should just drop them for a game or two than change half the team every below average performance, like you want, and have zero consistency or consistency in the time.

no no its they alright.If i was on the selection committe it would then indeed be us. Even someone like you are when it comes to footy could understand that. Well perhaps not you still think Ellis a big tough inside player hhaaarrggghhh.
Credability zero bud but keep trying you will get there sooner or later.

You can't accuse other people of not having credibility* when you called Riewoldt a dud for years and Dylan Grimes 'the most petrified player to have ever played'.
