Agree on Campbell out.

McAuliffe probably fair he's had two games and has struggled but don't think Dow is a fair replacement. He's clearly better than VFL but needs some more work before he's AFL level. Good exposure for the kid though.

Lol again its the kids being scrutinised. The senior out of form hacks escape again.

Where the fcuking hell is Smiffy. Stuff Yze not prepared to try players in different roles. Not prepared to drop chronic soft weak as pee underperformers. Not prepared to reward consistent good form.

He is the coach he needs to draw a line in the sand otherwise his coaching career will be gone before it has begun.

Blight unlucky but I don’t see a backline of balta blight and Miller working.
Good to see trezise and green get a game.
Midfield of Taranto hopper and Prestia isn’t much to be excited about

The Richmond way. Bring in mostly underperformers for underperformers. Dont back in the younger blokes don't reward great vfl form.
Seriously are we tanking. Wake up we don't need to tank we need to play and find out what kids are worth keeping asap.

This new coach well start asking questions if he is having a say in these things. because a blind man can see what we are  getting wrong all the time.

Can we have a 2016 type review which includes looking at the new coach please.

Highly unlikely we bought him in to play ruck either or kpf for that matter. Oh but wait...

He only needs about 6 touches to show improvement. Fmd one contested mark would double what we get in a game.

How the stuff is he even being considered.What the stuff has he even done to be considered this time around.

Ive said it before atm give me Hamspud or McBean.

They obviously see something well its high time he rewarded that confidence.

A spud imo just an okay ruck and just an okay fwd not great at either.

3 kids in mate you on the same page ,Green ,Trezise and Ryan .Back to your point play the kids to see who sticks around.

Why is it we can't play three talls up forward.

If Bauer is fit i would have liked them to throw him forward as a replacement for Cumberland.
If they want to Play Ryan then play him from the bench with Nankervis. For now keep Balta forward and keep Blight in the team.

Very odd that they pick an underperformer in Ryan who has not played for two weeks. Its not as if we are rushing in Lynch or someone.

At worst keep Balta forward play kossie and Ryan  the obvious problem with that is Ryan makes that forward half very slow and he is a statue when the ball is on the ground. So Blight cops it having not done a lot wrong and  Balta goes back  to accomodate playing Ryan forward.

Find a way to play both Blight and Ryan and Bauer as well.

Good to see good form rewarded with Trezise im shocked they cant give Smith a few games and reward consistent good form.


Would it be dumb to give Nankervis a rest and play Ryan as the ruckman. Why not.

How about he try some players in different roles which would allow kids to play in their right roles and actually drop a few underperformers.

Why not Rioli to a wing its worth trying. If not him why not  see how Tom Brown would go on a wing. Free the kid up a bit, out with McIntosh he aint the future thats for sure.

I know McAuliffe has struggled a bit and probably deserved to be dropped. i would have liked them to give him one more week though.
If Sonsie plays it is time to play him midfield and see what he can produce.

This week something like this

Vlastuin - Miller - Broad. Broad has been poor lately he is another who could be dropped based on poor form.
Rioli - Blight - Trezise.  Kept Rioli back for the extra experience with Blight and Trezise there.

Brown - Taranto - Ralphsmith.  Browny gets freed up a bit and gets to use his footskills in say a short type role.
Ryan - Hopper - Sonsie. Its a slow midfield. It will be slow regardless of who we play there. Look at the options. Sonsie freed up.

Bauer - Balta - Mansell. Bauer a quicker mobile tall rather than a kp instead of NC. Gives us flexability and an ability to keep structure if Balta is needed back.
Bolton - Kossie - ####. Pick a small forward its slim pickings atm.

McAuliffe - Baker - Prestia - Smith.

Banks.

Claw every week players are in different roles. You say rest nank and let Ryan play ruck but in other threads you’ve said how useless Ryan is. I think you just like to go against whatever the club does. Don’t take this as me trying to start something but it’s true, all you post about is how the club has got it wrong.

Nope my preference has been  to not play Ryan at all.
Once they picked him and  moved Balta back and dropped Blight it was a reaction to his selection  trying to find a way to play  Ryan, Blight and Bauer. Thats  what the question of, why cant we play three tall forwards?  was about. and the remainder of the post was finding a way to make it work.The only way i could see playing all three was what i said.

the only way i could see  Ryan gets a game is if he plays ruck so give Nank a rest.
We should have kept Blight and we should have added Bauer as a third tall option which is what i said

Still think Balta should have played forward along with Bauer if he was fit to play. Still think Blight should have started in defense

The team i prefered  us to play was with trezise, Smith, Blight, Prestia, and Bauer all in the team. As well as the captain.
I only went down the Ryan path after he was selected.

Most weeks ive wanted McIntosh to be given the arse.
Most weeks i have commented on playing Rioli on a wing dropping shortsteps thus allowing Smith and Trezise a game.
I have certainly said my piece about Ryan and why we should not pick him. Been very consistent on all of this.

Any way hope that explains things. Next week i won't be reacting to selections i will just stick to what i think they should be doing.

I very rarely buy into arguments about selection

Find it near impossible to go into bat for Claw

But FFS, how did Blight get dropped

Should have got a game on merit .. then can add the fact the playing group genuinely like him from what it seems

Comes in for a game , cops it up the arse
Smith in for a game , cops it just as hard
Steely Green , cops it, back today and kicks a few

Just play the stuffing kids .. why not ???
