:help
Should get Kmac back.
Possibly Lambert?
Gibcus?
Anyway, fire away with your changes? :help
-
If Lambo is available, then Parker goes out. :clapping
Its time to admit that this isn't a premiership team, and we need to move on from Ross, Riewoldt, Aarts and possibly Edwards, as hard as it is to say.
Ins: Lambert if fit, Sonsie, RCD, McIntosh, Soldo.
-
I await Claws changes…
-
There were at least a dozen players worse than Ross.....and a lot softer too..... :shh
Hardwick & the MC won't make the changes people want anyway....it'll take a couple of beltings before he does .. :help
-
Should not be in the team now (or ever?).
Costagna, Aarts, Parker and maybe Ross. There must be players we want to get games into that are better than these.
-
Out: Castagna, Parker, Aarts, Hugo, Ross
In: Lambert, Gibcus, 3 best performers from VFL tomorrow
-
Why bother with this thread. We all know that there will be minimum changes next week
-
I will be watching the VFL very closely to see who really wants a senior game.
-
Irrespective of changes Melbourne will beat us by 10 goals.

Yep.
I would think 10 to 20 , back to the Future
-
Irrespective of changes Melbourne will beat us by 10 goals.
If BAD Richmond turn up then yep
If GOOD Richmond show up we will probably win

Can’t see us getting close to Melbourne even if we play good. They are us 2018.

Translation: "I'll just count the possessions and judge purely on that..." :shh
-
Dimma in his presser said Kmac and possibly Lambert depending on how he gets through the VFL game today.
-
Out. Aarts, Ross, Parker, Miller, Graham, George (even though he was ok)
In RCD, Stack, Sonsie, Lambert, Gibcus, Brown or Clarke.
-
Out Aarts Parker Ross
In RCD Lambert Stack
We shouldnt debut anyone against Melbourne
-
What yesterday showed is that we are transitioning from a good side into an average and relatively young side that will have ups and downs. We’ll see some decent wins where it all clicks like last week and then some bad losses like the Saints game. The focus should still be on finding the next flag team so I hope we keep giving games to kids.
-
Out: Miller, Ross, Parker, Aarts, Riewoldt, Graham
In: Biggy, Gibcus, Stack, Lambert, McIntosh, Dusty
-
I'd drop Tarrant before Miller.... :shh
-
Out
Ross
Parker
Ralphsmith
Aarts - sub
In
McIntosh
Lambert
Stack
Mansell
If Cotchin het rubbed out. RCD in.

Nah mate. I look at the whole game and see what they do off the ball too and see if they involve themselves and win contests and how much pressure is applied on the ball carrier etc etc. :shh
……but we aren’t all experts like you that has such a keen eye but likes Ross as a player but hates Short :shh :lol :rollin
But you are correct that I’ll be seeing who plays midfield and who can rack them up in the vfl because of a midfielder can’t rack them up in the vfl he’s got Buckley’s chance in the AFL. :shh
-
RCD racked em up today. Deserves a go. Whatever happens next week we'll get towelled so Id put RCD in and give him a half of footy against Petracca. Petrecca will take him to the footy. RCD has to just be competitive with the aim of curtailing Petraccas influence.
-
RCD, Maurice Jnr, Lambert, Soldo, Stack, Mansell all put their hands up for senior selection. One positive from a shocker of a weekend for the club.
-
All we'll do is bring back Lambert and make one of Mansell or MJ the sub.... :shh
...which will be good in a way because Melbourne will likely flog us regardless and at least they won't be able to blame the kids for it and drop them for another two months... :shh :shh
-
There is options for changes they gotbto happen through not keeping the same heads week in week out.
-
Would like to see a team along these lines give or take a player.
FB Mansell - Tarrant - Gibcus
HB Vlastuin - Miller - Broad
C Pickett - RC-D - Rioli
R Nankervis - Cotchin - Prestia
HF Bolton - Balta - Ralphsmith
FF Lynch - Riewoldt - Stack
Int from. Lambert, Dow, Sonsie, Ross, Graham, Baker, Short, McIntosh.
It aint gunna happen but one can only hope.
-
Stack, Gibcus, Lambert, RCD and Maurice Jnr should be brought in. Out: Ross, Aarts, Edwards(rested) and Parker. Won't happen but give Stack and others reward for effort.
-
Best thing is let our experienced players take the hammering and bring the kids in against West Coast.

The sad part of it all is you could also throw out on that game Riewoldt. what the hell is the point of having three kpf's with two getting a lot of attention and the third is almost invisible apart from a few moments.
Thought Byron P Struggled big time but thats the only quiet game this year.
Ralphsmith well lets say i would not be surprised if he does get dropped.
Rioli is not a defenders arse hole.but has given a bit of hb.
Toung Dow tried hard but was down along with Short, Ross, Graham who was horrible imo, Baker who did stuff all in a half,
If it was purely a week to week basis based on the game played then a lot could get the arse. Thing is there are enough who just dont have it and a poor often enough to call for their heads.
-
For everyone and im gunna keep asking it. Will we win the flag this year ? If no then there is only one course of action we should be taking, especially with the age demographic of the list.
-
Mansell is tough and hard at it but can be a butcher by foot.

It’s not as black and white as that. Otherwise by that logic you’d have 10+ teams playing youth ahead of experienced players for the sake of it.

Mansell's like a short Will Thursfield crossed with a smarter & less manic Steve Morris..... :shh

Hardly playing kids just two the rest have been around a bit wouldn't you agree.The logic in our case says the experienced players are poor and the younger blokes deserve a crack.
Either way theres hardly a lack of experienced players Gibcus is the only one at 19 in defence Miller and Mansell are 22.
Only RCD at age 22 in the midfield among a pile of 25yo to 32yo.
Just Ralphsmith in the fwd half with 22yo thru 33yo. plenty of experience there

LOL last time i looked there were 6 defenders named why you would pluck a big kpd to play on Fritsch is quite frankly bemusing.
Reckon as third tall and being so good in the air Gibcus would get the gig or failing that Broad.Tarrant will probably get McDonald and Miller will get Weiderman. If they Play Ben Brown then we may have to change.
The bottom line is no one is asking for a whole pile of kids get thrown in. And no one is asking for a team devoid of age experience.

Just on Baker Claw he has been down , but the question has to asked why have we moved him up forward when he was at home as a half back stuff and playing great footy I can't understand it ?.We got this obsession playing players out of position again same as Ross. Doesn't make sense to me.
Yeah we're playing 3 key forwards yet we hardly look dangerous the delivery is poor we know , but there not leading not taking pack marks or creating havoc seems like a waste.My personal opinion Balta and Lynch work the best together.
-
In: Lambert, Mansell, Soldo, RCD, Gibcus, McIntosh.
Out: Parker, Ralphsmith (inj), Riewoldt, Miller, Ross, Aarts.

If anything playing baker as a defender was playing him out of position since he came to us as a mid/fwd. So the obsession seemed to work out for that one…..
-
Out

Parker

If Cotchin het rubbed out. RCD in.
I like these changes TM as it gives us some more grunt around the contest from players that don’t mind the tough stuff. The only way we get close to the Dees is if we pressure them for the whole game and don’t allow easy possession. It’s gonna be a tough game to win but not impossible if we are committed to that manic pressure all game.
Interesting to see if they’ll want to bring in Aarts considering the game he had in the VFL which was a really good game from him and they’d probably want to reward him for it.
Stack was excellent but have we seen enough of it this year to promote him off one great vfl game? Same goes with RCD as they might want to see more consistency over a number of weeks, who knows?
Lambert has now had 2 quarters last week and 3 quarters on the weekend. They may want to give him 4 quarters for the next 2 week in the VFL before an AFL game to see how his body holds up. I suppose it all depends on how his body is coping with it, bring him in too soon and his season could be over before it started and we really need his two way running.
Soldo had a solid game in the twos and dominated the ruck taps all day but I’m not sure that many were effective. They might consider him for this week but I wouldn’t bring him in.
Mansell I would find a spot for sure and deserves his chance in the AFL again.
McIntosh comes straight in too.
I’m not sure Balta up forward is working as good as we thought and his pressure is the worst of all the forwards this year. Maybe move him down back for this game or he can follow Jackson around and curb his influence and in the process cause some mayhem of his own.
I wouldn’t be taking out any of our speedsters especially in the front half we are going to need them pressuring the likes of Landon, Jordon, Brayshaw, Bowie etc etc and make these blokes accountable by not allowing them to stroll out of defensive 50 without a care in the world.
There’s no way I’d be dropping Reiwoldt as some have suggested.

Played is best football in the back pocket by a mile for me we aren't simplifying it no more playing to our strengths.

MJ should be first picked every week for his tackling & pressure alone.... :shh

In the Mix: Round 6

There will be at least one forced change off the back of Richmond's disappointing loss to Adelaide, with the dashing Hugo Ralphsmith ruled out with a short-term rib injury. Co-captain Dylan Grimes (hamstring) is still unavailable, while Josh Caddy has also suffered a medium-term hamstring injury in the VFL. Jake Aarts could force his way into the 22 on the back of 32 touches, seven clearances and a goal in the VFL, while it remains to be seen if Kane Lambert is brought straight in after 25 touches and a goal.
Verdict: Aarts for Ralphsmith.

I tend to agree with nearly all that.
Baker first. My biggest gripe with him playing back is his size 173cm and its very exploitable.As an example useing him he can play else where which affords a defender like Mansell an opportunity. Can say the same for Rioli and others it seems we play any one who didnt start as a defender in defence and then draft defenders and make em play else where when they do get a fleeting senior game.
Why have we moved Baker well we can ask that about so many.. Mansell who really does deserve another crack at it. Rioli, Short, Vlastuin, Broad Grimes who can play small very well, Pickett was an outstanding hb before we drafted him, Stack who imo has played his best footy in defense, We just recruited Brown and Banks, we have played edwards there, Fair dinkum sml/med defender is the last of our problems, sorting out who should play there really does seem to be an issue though.
On the bigger fwds for me the problem is with smaller players whose disposal makes it way too hard for the bigger blokes. Go look at it the problem is not getting it in there but the way we get there and the quality of the sml/med players in there and bringing it in.
All i know is if we continue down the current path we will spend another long period in the wilderness.
The club with the biggest gap between its experienced players that is games played and its 24 and unders is us.
That was fine when were still in the window OR WINNIG FLAGS, but we have not been in the window for two years now and we continue to basically only play 18 to 24 yo when injury hits. The mind set needs to change or we are going to keep on wasting what should be development seasons prolonging the pain.
Every one talks about phasing the older blokes out but thats is just talk. Im not sure there are too many supporters who really accept that we have to go backwards to go forwards. That entails getting a new bunch of mostly young blokes to 50 80 100 games and that takes time. A slow drip feed will not cut it anymore. Next year we will have 12 vets all a year older and we continue to place reliance on them rather than easing that reliance out.
-
Just a point for all to see.
We have 14 what i would call juniors that is inexperienced very young blokes aged 18 - 21. These are young blokes we are striving to find out if they are worth further development.
Just one of them has reached more than 20 games and that is Jack Ross with 34 and unfortunately for us he is one who is under the most scrutiny of weather he has what it takes to make it.
This group has played a collective 79 games for an average of 5.5 games. If you take Ross out then that average plummets.
We have a further 8 players aged 22 - 24 basically development players. That is juniors we have deemed worth keeping beyong their first 3 or so seasons.
This group contains mostly the better performed kids we have had come thru and we have put games into them. Even so only three have got to 50 games or more.The group also includes our two best prospects so far in Bolton and Balta.
Rather than comment on the how good a prospect they are i will just name em Bolton, Balta, Baker, Graham, Stack, Miller, RC-D, Colina.Only half of these players have become regular players.
Last it seems to me and i will lrt others do the leg work for themselves it seems to me we rarely promote kids on merit but instead they mostly only get games when injury happens to the older blokes. Somewhere along the line for me that is now it has to change.

I knew Clawski would be busy once we started losing again but I didn’t think it would be this bad… :lol

Dimma earlier today said Kmac will be back and he believes Lambert will play. Soldo could also come in.
--------------------------
Kamdyn McIntosh will return after missing last week's loss to Adelaide through COVID-19 protocols and Kane Lambert is set to play his first senior match of the season.
Lambert has overcome a hip injury and has built his fitness on limited game time in the VFL over the past fortnight.
Hardwick is "very bullish" Lambert will be given the all-clear to take on the unbeaten Demons but concedes the midfielder won't be at peak fitness.
"He's a pretty fit guy overall, footy-wise he hasn't played a lot, but we're pretty confident that what he can bring is going to be pretty good," Hardwick said.
"He's just such an important guy to our club.
"He's a coach on and off the field and just a wonderful ambassador for us with the way he plays the game."
Richmond will consider recalling ruckman Ivan Soldo to help Toby Nankervis against Melbourne duo Max Gawn and Luke Jackson.
But Soldo needs to be cleared to play after spending time in hospital this week with an infected toe.

I beg to differ havent changed win lose or draw.
The same players copped criticism when we were winning flags as they are now we are losing.
The main thing that has changed is we are definately in decline and the oldies wont get better but worse.
Now that we are past winning flags the one issue im loud about is playing more of the kids.and less of not so much the older players although they need to be phased out but the blokes i have always been critical of as they are clearly incapable of taking us to more flags
There is no winning with some here i cop cant play the kids while we are winning and now i cop cant play the kids the oldies and others have earnt their spot.

Pre 2017 grand final 1554 posts (less than three years) saying how crap we were and how everybody does this and that wrong.
1 post after saying he got lots wrong and won't post for a while
234 posts in the next three years.Not even a single one celebrating or congratulating the team for the next 2 flags.
Another 567 posts since the 2020 grand final (18 months) saying how crap we are.
Yeah you have not changed at all claw.Win lose of draw. I should copy the post after the 2017 grand final. Is was a classic. From reading that post I do feel that you might actually be a Tiger supporter. Pitty most of the other 2 and a half thousand odd don't.
Sure have some players you don't like or think should not be picked. Sure be critical of selection or fitness. Sure be critical of some other posts. Just don't denegrate people be it players,coaches , administration, supporters or other posters. Do that and you might find you have more support for some of your arguments.

One i dont just post here, two its a hiding to nothing not if you win a flag. In fact the team wins a flag and you criticise and what do you cop? well i will leave it up to you. Even then i still stuck to what i thought was right or more to the point who can play who can't and who will will take over.
All i can say is like every other poster here and just like the club i get my fair share of things wrong but one thing when i think im right i will stick by it win lose or draw.Now that is unlike many posters who chop and change as it suits it seems. I suppose its called standing by your convictions right or wrong.
Now on that that is the last time i will lower myself to defend what i post.
