No injuries apparently.
So fire away ....

Out: Look Geelong are a quality side
In: Look North Melbourne are a quality side

Do we have a women's team to select from? :lol

I thought they have been playing all year!

The coach needs to go plain and simple :thumbsdown If we get Lids and Conca back we will win a few but what's the point ? The coach needs to go :thumbsdown
-
All I know we need 3 talls inside F50
Also don't want to see Lennon for a while
-
Bring in Martha and the vandellas and out eeny miny moe take your pick
-
After that enormous performance don't think there will be any
-
OUTS: Astbury (terrible and slow), Hunt (shocking), Vickery (cameo King as always)
INS: Grifiiths (if fit), Deledio (if fit), Grimes
-
After dropping that mark early when there was no pressure and then dropping the chest mark after leading strongly I never ever want to see this bloke in our seniors ever again.I have tried to be positive and supportive of him ,but he really has no idea.....I mean Vickery
-
OUTS: Astbury (terrible and slow), Hunt (shocking), Vickery (cameo King as always)
INS: Grifiiths (if fit), Deledio (if fit), Grimes
Did Vickery play today ? Lol

He is not AFL standard at the moment. Kicks to 2 on 1 contests, misses form directly in front, does not chase hard enough for long enough……..

Gold. :thumbsup
-
For starters I never want to see Vickery play for is again.
Taylor Hunt was awful today too.
I really don't see the point of a thread like this. Dimma will start to feel the
pinch and coach for his career and continue to
Play the same olds without hesitation whilst dropping kids.
Rather than the outs I want to see Corey Ellis and Ben Lennon
In the side again next week.
-
One of astbury or TV needs to be dropped for Mcbean and stuffen hardwick needs to be read the riot act , fair dinkum we looked like aus kick down at citizen park following the ball like a swarm of flies. What happened to that pure football that took the football world by storm in 2014 ::) BG should be peeling the paint off the walls with some direct feedback , stuff me , we should be unbeaten and here we are 2-3
-
OUTS: Astbury (terrible and slow), Hunt (shocking), Vickery (cameo King as always)
INS: Grifiiths (if fit), Deledio (if fit), Grimes
Grimes was poor today IMO WP.

Agree about Lennon Don. Though he didn't do much a couple of times today he did something he didn't do last year and that was go in for hard ball with no fear of taking a hot to the body himself
Small step yep, but a positive one
-
Conca must come in. Llyod is no good and I would give Lennon another go. How hard would it be playing as a HF in our team? Lennon has skill and can hit a target with hand or foot which is better than most of our current team :banghead
-
No Chaplin either please. Getting that fee in the third and then over cooking the kick resulting in a cats goal as we were on our roll from a so called experienced player was diabolical. :help
-
Actually Elton should be the next big man to get a go , he can actually take a grab , I'm losing faith in astbury , has not jumped out of the blocks this year ::)
-
For once Bojo I agree. There's a first for everything I suppose.
Been advocating this kid getting a run the last few weeks.
Let's see if this kid can play at this level.
If he plays like he did v the Dogs in the praccy match he'll be fine.
-
Jury is out on Lennon
Don't reckon he can play
Plays scared in my opinion
-
Dud coach
Dud mentality
Dud game plan
Dud dud dud dud.
Dud stupid supporters just like me!
Dud Geelong and they beat us
Dud going to Hobart
Dud at going hard
Dud captain vickers such a nothing, would punch my face in but I'd probably win such a fosters flop that
Dud ed so many diehards over the years
Dud think I hate my team more than I hate any other.
Going to Hobart next week so SMFC duds
-
Another line that a tiny little girl would jump

Gotta a decent old touch up the Roos , I reckon dimma would have been glued to the screen taking notes tonight ,,,,watch this space :shh
-

As it posted earlier thought he took a small step forward today re playing scared.
Went in for a the hard ball without fear of getting whacked today a few times - so that's a positive.
Long way to go but compared to 2014 when it never happened a small step forward IMHO
-
OUTS: Astbury (terrible and slow), Hunt (shocking), Vickery (cameo King as always)
INS: Grifiiths (if fit), Deledio (if fit), Grimes
Grimes was poor today IMO WP.
Only suggested it because he has some pace compared to Astbury who is slower than me and trust me I am veerrryyyy sssssssllllloooooowwwwwwwww
-

If Dimma wants to learn from games he should start at his level and work up.
The half time Auskick would be a good start.
-
The thing is that the Roos will be embarrassed by their performance and bury us next week, we come out after a poor performance last week and follow with what some will call an honourable loss, two different attitudes, two teams with different abilities mentally/physically and different standards. We do a lot of talking following bad losses but we don't walk the walk, it's about time this changed.
-
Just saw Norf got done by 10 goals, so we on the end of another touch up
-
This may seem dramatic, but...
OUT:
Maric - Give him a rest. Bloke is almost finished as a ruckman and Goldstein will annihilate him
Morris - Spaz
Lloyd - No good/too slow
Astbury - Too slow
Batchelor - Not good enough, tries hard but
Hunt - Spaz
Newman - Finished/waste of time
IN:
Hampson - Yes, I know he's terrible around the ground. But he's our best 'tap' ruckman, we need him VS Goldstein
Lids - If fit, desperately needed so badly it hurts
Arnot - Much needed toughness/mongrel and will have proper crack
Thomas - Much needed toughness/mongrel and will have proper crack
Dea - Much needed toughness and will have proper crack
Elton - Can't be as bad as Astbury atm, deserves another shot
Griffiths - Need 3 talls, and likely our 2nd best KPF
Gordon - If Lids not fit. Can take the vest.
And if people don't like the idea of Dea/Thomas/Arnot I'm happy to start trying some of the new draftees. But the reality is our midfield will always be physically disadvantaged when you're going in with blokes like Cotchin/Edwards/Grigg/Miles etc. Need some physical presence in there to win the proper hard ball.
Hampson can be subbed out in the 3rd quarter. Finish the game with Vickery/Griffiths rucking.
Probably get smashed anyway but I'd like to see Hardwick make some tough calls and try something new like above... Will never happen though...
-
Thomarse & Gordon should never be seen at senior level again.
-
Jury is out on Lennon

Plays scared in my opinion
Personality is of one who gets ahead of himself, believes he is better than he is.
The disappointing part of this is that he spent time at the club before we drafted him as a first rounder, Patrick Cripps and Cameron McCarthy went directly after him. Could do with either in our side right now.
Lennon wreaks of Alex Gilmour mark II

Have to play Hampson against Goldstein

My team for next week with 6 changes:
Morris Chaplin Rance
DEA GRIMES Houli
Ellis Vlastuin McIntosh
Martin GRIFFITHS Riewoldt
Edwards McBEAN DELEDIO
Vickery Cotchin CONCA
Int - C. Ellis Miles Lennon sub - Grigg
Obviously will not happen as a few favourites are missing :whistle
The only time I have seen Vickery play good footy was in the ruck. Maric has been poor so far and only needs to play against fellow dinosaur ruckman moving forward. Hampson whilst his tap work is elite, he is the biggest spud going around during general play. Not the answer.
Vlastuin must play in the midfield for all the reasons we we selected him in the first place. Tough, hard, good decision maker, good kick, etc.
Dea and Batchelor are similar players but I take Dea. I see something in him and prefer him down back.
Lennon with his skills must be played for a period of time IMO.
McBean comes in for the third tall after 2 solid games in the VFL. Looks like he is chasing and harassing with better intent than last year. Its his time :thumbsup
Anyway my 2 cents worth which is more likely along way off most.
-
Lids if fit in. Persist with Lennon. Decision to play Astbury on Hawkins initially was sheer stupidity. Rance should have been on him from the beginning. Maric played okay against Geelong. Prefer him over Hampson. Hampson does not do enough around the ground.
-
Alot of humility in this thread. If only Dimma learnt a bit and called it how it is.
People should be congratulated imho
-
I'm telling you know if Matt Thomas comes in next week I'm done with Hardwick.
-
Have to play Hampson against Goldstein
It's an absolute must, the NAB Challenge game against North showed what dominance Goldstein has over Maric. Hampson will at least jump over Goldstein and take away his centre clearance dominance
-

Said the same @ the VFL game yesterday, Hammer was excellent against Mcintosh, was jumping way way higher & I think I counted 3 taps he lost.
Ivvy was OK yesterday, but I think he is shot

That's what Hampson provides however, that's the only thing he provides unfortunately. His around the ground work is shot.
-
Hampson cant mark and cant kick,thats 2/3 of a footballers makeup he cant execute...
how about teaching cotch and the gang to read the blasted play like the midfielders of most other football clubs do

-
Oh well at least if Hampson does play we can then get a rest from the ones with short memories
The seasons shot anyway so won't hurt to see this fraud of a footballer to around again
-
Not saying Hampson is a gun, simply saying that Maric will be Goldsteins bitch in the centre bounces. Hampson will at least jump over him and win the majority of the taps. We conceded the first three goals yesterday in the last qtr direct from centre clearances, if we pit Maric against Goldstein in the centre we will get flogged. Maric can still hold his own at around the ground stoppages and boundary throw ins as it doesn't require him to jump, he's strength now is his body work at stoppages, not jumping.
It's got to be horses for courses and not simply people's narrow minded approach toward individuals if we are going to win games like next week.
Oh and also a coach who can coach would help
-

Good because that's too many plodders. At least Dea can replace Batch and Thomas can find the ball but Arnot doesn't provide anything and is never going to be a good player

While watching the game maybe you should take notice of the other stuff not just ruck taps. Maric provides way more assistance around the ground than Hampson and Goldstein will be giggling himself to sleep if he see's his lining up on Hampson on the weekend
-
I'd play HampspudedAngus. Not sure his around the ground play is any worse than big Ivvy atm.
-
Goldstein is a good ruckman. He is good around the ground. If Hampson comes in more than likely he will win the tap outs but that is no guarantee we will get first use of the ball. Furthermore when the defence is under the pump and we are looking for a ruckman to take a big pack mark that won't be Hampson.
-

You sure as hell don't....
That's actually funny
Little do you know ;)
-
Two right back at you
;) ;)
-
We will get murdered by Goldstein anyway. Maric is more competitive so I'd keep him in.
Hampson and Vickery in the same side is like akin to giving Ivan Milat a tourist portfolio to look after.
Carnage.
If Lids is fit play him but as I have said, I hope Dumma does not drop Lennon or Corey Ellis.

Sorry I apologise

OUT: Batchelor (poor decision maker and can't kick straight anyway and never improves); Hunt (gets caught too often and is also not a good decision maker); Lloyd (probably not good enough because he lacks speed); Newman (just doesn't get it enough or he's played in bad positions); Vickery (just won't chase and no vigour despite all of what's been said but I know Dumma likes him);
Keep: Lennon - no good so far but give him 20 games; Astbury; Grigg but I thought I would never say it and it shows how bad we have become.
IN: Dea, Grimes (quick and often makes good choices and spoils and tries); the younger kids if they are quick and strong enough; Griffith but he needs more grunt; Delidio? Etc. not Arnott,

The Barometer - Round 5
Herald-Sun
May 5, 2015
RICHMOND
ON THE BLOCK: Ben Lennon really struggled to get into the game before being subbed out in the third quarter, his replacement Sam Lloyd had little impact, Taylor Hunt is battling and Jake Batchelor could pay the price for some horrible kicking errors.
ON THE CUSP: The Tigers say Brett Deledio is a chance but that seems unlikely. Reece Conca played his first game back from a hamstring injury in the VFL on Saturday and collected 19 disposals and six clearances. Dylan Grimes and Matt Dea are available if backline reinforcements are needed, Liam McBean kicked three goals and Matt Thomas had 30 touches. Nathan Foley, best on ground a week earlier, missed Saturday’s loss to Geelong’s VFL outfit with an unnamed injury.
AL PATON’S FORECAST: The season is far from over at 2-3 but dreams of a top-four finish seem a long way off especially with a tough month ahead starting with North Melbourne, a side Richmond has not beaten since 2011. A sharp improvement in set-shot goalkicking will help, especially early - the Tigers have kicked a combined 3.10 in the past two first quarters. One positive from Saturday’s defeat was some very promising signs from debutant Corey Ellis, don’t expect to see him in the VFL again any time soon.

-
They're gonna bring in Thomas, aren't they.
-
I don't think Thomas is our future but he sure brings in a big body which is needed against Norf.
-
Is Conca/deledio available ?
IF so would be good to get these changes
Conca in - Lennon out
Deledio ( don't think he'll be fit ) in - Lloyd out
Griff in - Vickery out
Stick Corey Ellis in the forward line see if he can be that smaller forward we've been needing. Good tackling pressure and will attack the contest. Give him more shots at goal so he gets comfortable.

Thanks for stating the obvious
-
The whole point of this thread is to say what you think will be the changes.. You're saying they'll bring in Thomas and I didnt so how is it obvious? By the way Thomas is still rookie listed and with Arnott being upgraded is there any room for him?
-
Why can't we drop Vickery (please) and give McBean a run. Honestly what have we got to lose? He was named to play 2 years ago and got injured. Surely we need to give him a run for a block of 4 games and see how he goes?
Don't use his weight as an excuse, They threw Daniher in at Essendon and he looked out of sorts at the start but they persevered.
McBean 203 cm and 93Kg (from RFC website)
Joe Daniher 201 cm 90 kg
also keep in Lennon, Corey Ellis, they need the games into them, putting Thomas in (if we can) is just short term stuff, Plus it sound like Lids needs another 2 weeks (BWTF would I know??)
-
Agree with what saying but after hearing Hardwick's remarks at press conference strongly believe Vickery will not be dropped.
-
Lmao
North have already won.
This club is finished.

RICHMOND
Vice-captain Brett Deledio trained with the main group on Tuesday and showed no sign of the calf injury that has sidelined him since round one. The Tigers are hopeful he can make a much-needed return if he gets through the rest of the week.
Ben Griffiths could also return from a calf injury, placing Ty Vickery's spot in jeopardy after he kicked one goal against Geelong.
Reece Conca made a strong return from a hamstring injury in the VFL and could be called on this week after he was among the reserves' best players with 19 possessions and six clearances.
Matt Dea (20 possessions), Matt McDonough (seven clearances), Shaun Hampson (54 hit-outs) and Matt Thomas (30 possessions and 11 clearances) were others to impress.

Dea should come in for Batchelor

Couldn't beat the worst Geelong team is a decade.
We never beat North . They know they have our measure . They know it - we know it.
We won't beat Collingwood either - same deal.
