What changes would you make for next week?
-
Depends on the Coburg game tomorrow
Main one I'd suggest is Tambling in for Edwards
Hopefully Collins puts in a ripper and earns a call up too
-
OUT - Edwards and Nahas
IN - men that can tackle :banghead
-
IN.....Richie Tambling
OUT....Nahas
LUCKY....Edwards might get one more week
-
In tambling
out king
-
If Blingers has a hammy I'm guessing he'll probably miss another week.
In: Thomson, Collins
Out: Edwards, Nahas
Not that I want Jordie in the side but I've just got a feeling he'll be brought back against his old side if he has a decent game for Coburg tomorrow. I'd prefer Connors but he's underdone after breaking his finger as well as having an achilles problem copying Cotch's hard training.
-
In McMahon as we are playing Dogs. Hopefully Thompson and Probably Tambling
Outs Probably Polo despite his good game today (WTF)
Nahas
King (forced change)
-
If Polo gets dropped ahead of some of those idiots who pretend there footballers like Schulz and Edwards then i suggest he leave Punt Road.
He DOES NOT deserve to be dropped and if he does he might as well look for another club thats wants a good hard at it player.
Foley is some rubbish football at the moment.
FFS watching Edwards play is embrassing if you ask me. So many B grade footballers we have who would not get a game elsewhere
-

Please, please, please no more skinny kids that cannot hold a tackle. It's time to realise that we need big strong bodies to compete against the other sides. It was as clear as day to me yesterday that Edwards and Nahas as not strong enough to compete 100%. Put some size on or enjoy listening to Jade.
Edited to correct quote
-
I'd be surprised if they made any changes
But I reckon Edwards may need a run back at Coburg to regain some confidence
-
Out: Edwards, Nahas, Polo & King
In: Cogs, Thompson, Tambling & JON
But really now:
Out: Edwards & King
In: Tambling & Cogs
-
Out: Edwards, King
In: Thomson, Coughlan
-
King out (for good) = Jordie in / Nahas (too small) Edwards to stay and play as the small crumbing forward and then the return of Cogs :) :) :)
-
It kills me to say this because I love the way he plays the game but King has to go.....He gives up too many goals through lack of size/shocking disposal skills.
His attitude is great for club culture but his skills are a liability
-
Coughlan is still at least 3 weeks away and that's if he doesn't get re-injured. If he makes it back to the seniors then it won't be until he can run out 4 quarters for Coburg.
-
I my opinion, I think some are a little harsh on King. Sure he is no Rolls Royce when it comes to disposal, but just remember it was his first game back this year to take him to a career of 34 games. I think if Kingy was an early draft pick we would all be saying "he is young and learning the game or give him time, his skills will improve". That fact he came off the rookie list, i feel we mark him a little harder than other.
Confidence as we all know is massive in football these days and for a kid of 30 odd games, it is crucial.
What this kid lacks in skill he more than makes up for in endeavour and tenacity. He is the only bloke on our list who can play on the oppositions small forwards. He tackles and chases, and more to the point has a bit of c#nt in him.
Give Kingy a chance and I am pretty sure he will give 100% every time he crosses the white line for us. I would much prefer to lose games with Kingy having a go and making a few mistakes than watching teams smash us because we are gutless!
Good luck Kingy and hopefully i see you next Monday against the Doggies!
-
Based on today's efforts neither McMahon or Thursfield should be considered
It's a pity Silvestor isn't a promoted rookie - gee he is playing sensational footy
I would think that Thompson needs some more game time, ran out of puff in the final qtr.
But if you're looking at a bigger body to replace say an Edwards then I'd certainly consider him
-
Collins should get a run this week as a rotating player through the middle and Patto should also come in. Patto could fill the spot as the power foward (At Docklands) and help out in the ruck.

Collins will get a game soon Camboon but I think Thomson will get a gig first. Patto may get a game but not unless he is fit. With Hughes and Schulz both struggling to fill the role perhaps Patto is worth a try at FF...
Stripes
-
Patto's just come back from a semi-lengthy injury spell (foot op) so he may need a couple of games with the Burgers before being considered.
The Dome is a fast dry track and the doggies aren't littered with talls nor big bodies but they do have clean foot skills so not a bad time for Collo to make his debut. If Thomson is right I would bring him in too to support Foley and Tuck. Hard footy is what will us the game.

OUT: King, Edwards
IN: Collins, Thomson/Cogs/Tambling (all depends on fitness).
-
OUT: King, Edwards
IN: Collins, Thomson/Cogs/Tambling (all depends on fitness).
All depends on how bad Tambling's hamstring is but my gut feeling is that none of the 3 will play. Collins for King is a possibility but that might be about it.
Unless it's McMahon for King. And before I start the flame war of the 21st century - I think his style is much more suited to playing the Bulldogs and his weaknesses won't be exposed nearly as much. I'm not saying he is our best option - just saying it won't surprise to see him picked.
Flame away.
-
If McMahon had have played well for Coburg, maybe, but he stunk it up by all reports so he shouldn't come back no matter who we play.
-
If Blingers has a hammy I'm guessing he'll probably miss another week.
In: Thomson, Collins
Out: Edwards, Nahas
Good changes :thumbsup
-

Common sense changes.
-

it would be a disgrace if he comes back in at the expense of a Rance or a Polo.
Edwards maybe because he is just as pathetic as Mcmahon IMO.
-
Out: Edwards, Nahas, Polo & King
In: Cogs, Thompson, Tambling & JON
But really now:
Out: Edwards & King
In: Tambling & Cogs
lol - yeah let's drop Polo who was easily one of our best (is that you Terry?) and Nahas, who for a first gamer did well. Let's also bring back the Prince Tambling who doesn't need to work for his spot (let's roll out the red carpet for him also) The witness has done F all his entire carreer and ferals are still dreaming about him.
King should never get a game again, and Edwards (Tambling mark II) should earn his spot and actually play some coburg games. He's been poo for as long as I can remember.
JON ? WTF ?
-
great supporters we have at richmond :scream
-
I would say no change, let the same 22 back it up. We will beat the Dogs.
Nahas to kick 5. Polo to take Griffen to the cleaners.
-
OUT.....Stevic,Sully and Nicholls
For those that dont know they were the umpires on the weekend :lol

i think WA Tiger was taking the pee, actually come to think he probably wasn't.
Tambling
Edwards
Mcmahon
JON
4 of the biggest duds going around.
Polo is so far in front of all those 4 its not funny
-
Tambling . Edwards and JON are not duds. FFS some supporters are stuffing morons. some of you wankers do not see the bigger picture and i bet in 2 years time you will all be kissing the arses of these boys. they are young raw and light. they may need a bit more time but ffs patience is a vitue. The bomers were patient with Long, look at what a gun he became, and what about leon davis at the skunks.
Rome was not built in a day and you losers expect the RFC to becoem dominant with champions over night after 3 decades of crud.
Get a life, and before you keep on bagging these guys who are trying their guts out, have a stuffing go at your parents for conceiving you. Rfc need SUPPORTERS NOT WANKERS

Be careful TT you don't want to burst something.
:lol
-
i'll be right '65
just too many tiger fans cannot see the bigger picture, and expect way too much way too soon out of some players. the club is damned if they do and damned if they dont.
facts are our club and list is in far better shape than it has has been since 1982. if certain morons cannot see that and keep bagging players that still have time to develop thay can go follow the pies.
whwn tambling kicked 4 in a quarter v a strong eagles team, supporters loved him, sure he has to show more but his figures show he is improving every year. when edwards started we all loved him, that dreantime at the g game last year he showed what he can do, he is still young and raw and will be a gun. Jon does not get much credit. he has missed alot off footy because he puts his body in hard and has been injured. they along with his growth spurt has held him back, but jon will make it .........watch this space and when he does i hope all his abusers and baggers will stuff the right off and follow another team cos they are noth worthy of being a rfc member or supporter

best post i have read since i joined. its made me laugh like no other. :lol :lol :lol Rome wasn't built in a day up there with the best.
Patience is a virtue well how does 25 years and 2 finals series sound. I dont know what being patient is.
as for being conceived my parents are only upset they didn't have a twin. Very proud of me they are. Hows your parents going. Still living in franga champ?
on that note my changes are
In- JON
Out- Polo
Time to start rebuilding Rome boys...hahahahahaha

-
Tigertime,
Thank you for your feedback.
On behalf of some on this forum may I make a few points.
1. Tambling 4 goals in a quarter against W Coast. Once in 5 seasons has he had a standout matchwinning quarter. Too bad it was the first and we lost the game cos the other 3 were crap, just like the many others. Did you notice his 1 possesion game against the Hawks later that year? 1 quarter in about 90 games.That's 1 quarter out of 360.
2. Edwards like a piece of fairy floss. If the wind picks up he may float. Not hard enough at the footy and no defensive skills. Incident on outer wing on Saturday proved this kid is not built or equipped as well as mentally up to playing footy at this level.
3.Jon the less said the better. If he was that good he'd be established in the Richmond side now, not running around for Coburg.
Your point on Michael Long. Arrived in 1989 from St Mary's and played in a GF in 1990 and won a Norm Smith in 1993 in his 5th season. So Tambling is not going to play in the Grand Final this year can't blame him for that but when he runs through the heart of the MCG the way Longie did in the 1993 GF his 5th season Tambling has 20 games to left to emulate this feat. Once achieved maybe just maybe may I slightly acknowledge something you write.
Personally I don't want to know about your personal life but horses for courses.............
Furthermore I don't need you to tell me
a) What sort of Richmond supporter I am or aren't as who the f*** are you to decree that on anybody on this forum.
b) Anything to do with heritage of certain posters and the politics of the country of origin of certain posters. This is not the place it is a footy forum not the UN Assembly.
c) Racist bigotted views. No time no place on here just like racial vilification has no time on the footy field.
Just a few things that are concerning me as a forumite here and watching the quality of posts degenerate as soon as you come on.
Its not about having a thick skin when somebody steps over that imaginary line in the sand we all draw its about having a thing called courtesy, self respect and manners. Something which I feel is lacking but then again you aren't even controversial if that is your agenda.
To the rest of the posters I urge you all to ignore Tigertime and not get sucked in by his personal posts, racism and insults. If you ignore it, it will go away. Let's just focus on the issues that concern the RFC and the week to week ebbs and flows that is our great and proud club. Moderators please take note and act accordingly. This is about RFC not anyones mother, heritage,lifestyle, wealth or status.
I am almost inclined to feel sorry for you. Almost.............

Well done Tuckerbag top post.
One thing about those guys mentioned. I cant fault that they try hard when they are out on the park, mainly JON when he played and Tambling.
Sadly i dont think its enough.
JON was never meant to play seniors. He does not have the footy smarts nor does have he have the skills.
People at Tigerland seem to hang on to far too many players who are not ready made Footballers and i hope im wrong but i cant see any of them 3 being anywhere near the calibre of Michael long, in fact probably more closer to Chris Egan and skills houlilan those 3 are.
-
Coughlan is still at least 3 weeks away and that's if he doesn't get re-injured. If he makes it back to the seniors then it won't be until he can run out 4 quarters for Coburg.
Lets hope Coughlan can return to football & have a good year, l be really rapped if his body would let him so he gets peace at mind
it would take him at least a year at senior level off the bench just to come to terms with the pace of the game.
Rushing him in & expecting him to be the same player he once was will only destroy the young fella & end his career if injuring his legs again
No-one in the football world would like to see that happen so we wish him all the good luck this season.
-
An INTERNET TROLL is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off topic messages in an online community with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response.
This will be the only non football comment I will make on this forum.
-
I will repeat yet again - enough with the insults and sniping. :banghead
Also another reminder about the swear filter, we are very lenient as you all know but constant avoidance of it in particular to snipe at people is crossing the line. Take this as a warning
I refer to the below link that I posted back in August 2007 and it appears that it is more than relevant today
http://oneeyed-richmond.com/forum//index.php?topic=3581.msg71393#msg71393
It said in part:
Snide or childish comments directed at particular genders, religions etc are also totally unacceptable because directly or indirectly they are personal attacks and go outside our guidelines
We have during the time this forum's been running avoided having to issue warnings or worse still ban people from the site. Actually we've been very fortunate that we have only had to do this on very rare occasions.
However, we now find that are being left with absolutely no alternative but to issue warnings and look at banning people who continually abuse other posters.
I suggest everyone have read and take note of the forum guidelines at:

Curious about how poor people feel Tambling is as a player. Tambling is not in our best at the moment but he is far from our worst too. When fit, his form warrants his place in the team.
JON is a lost cause IMHO despite his sudden good form for Coburg. He has been moved to the forwardline but this year is his last chance.
I think the reason why both Tambling and JON are judged so harshly compared to others on our list is because they were high, first round draft picks. If Bling had of been taken in the second round he would been given more slack. JON is a contant embarrassment to our clubs recruiters and supporters.
If Bling can finally be given a permanent spot/position I think this will give him the stability to focus his performance, strategy and role rather than have to contantly be changing his play each week.
Stripes
-
I agree Stripes
I hear all the time on this forum that Richie has played only one good quarter in his career but the fact is he has got brownlow votes in four games -round 9 2006,round 3&10 2007 and round 5 2008.However I do believe it is now time for Richard to repay the faith
-
Thought Tambling was in our best (not saying much) for the Blues game.
Not the world beater we hoped for when drafted but still improving IMO.
In our best 22.

Yes correct
you can add Schulz to that list as well.
For a guy who is over 190 cms he does NOT do enough. He should be a Barry Hall type and a lot bigger than what he is.

Gonna be hard to stop the Doggies goalsneaks who will definately kick 3 against us=the umpires. :banghead

According to the footy show
Richmond
In: Thursty, Collins, McMahon, Patto, Cogs, Tambling
Out: Nil.
Bulldogs
In: Everitt, Tiller, Reid, Welsh, Callan
Out: Nil
-
Batten down the hatches if Jordie comes back in :-\. Strange Thursty and Jordie are named when by all reports they both did nothing for the Burgers to warrant a return to the seniors.
According to Anduril on Y&B Patto is playing for Coburg this week so that's one we can strike off.
Blingers didn't train so unless they are giving his hammy a set time to recover before Monday he won't play either.
Good to Collo named. Hopefully he gets his chance to debut. It must be tempting to bring Cogs back in but are just one full game at Coburg they should be mindful of his body especially after seeing what happened to Cuz in his comeback.
-
as expected i knew Jordie would play, thats just how Terry operates.
Send him back to Coburg and who cares if they play crap we will still give him a recall meanwhile others bust their guts at the burgers
-
This is the Footy Shows take on the teams only as no teams have been named yet. As such expect it to be totally worthless like the show itself.

:clapping :clapping Exactly Fluffy

Deep breath Daniel - this the Footy shows take on a possible squad... the club didn't have to submit anything yesterday.... Teams have to be in today by 5.00pm. Just relax until then.....remembering that they will name and extended interchange as that side of things doesn't need to be finalised until the weekend
Just CHILL ;D
My take looking at the names in the list is the Footy Show has looked at the "ins, outs & emergencies" of the first 2 rounds and come with list of possible "Ins".
-
I would say that the odds for Jordie comming back into the side are similar to Richmonds flag odds at the moment. :lol
-
Who has missed out in that list that isn't injured or coming back from injury? Putt, JON, Vickery, Thomson. Not many left out in any case. Only Thommo would be a show who was left off the footy show list.
