Can we play all of Reiwoldt, Griff, Vickery and Maric?

No

Hf:   Martin. Griffiths Cotchin
Ff.   deledio. Riewoldt. McBean

Rotating - Lennon. Gordon petard sedwards

That would work

I think Vickery could fill in no worries

[Gigantor]

The bean has shown glimpses of being a star,but icertainly wouldn't pencil him in my starting line up yet ,for he hasnt played a senior game yet and is therefore an unknown quantity at that level

Small article in today's HUN that a number of clubs are interested Griffiths and that the Tigers are likely going to need to offer him a 2 year deal.

Article also said that they club had improved their offer to Astbury by increasing it from a 1 year deal to 2 year deal

We would be completely neglectful and irresponsible not to sign this bloke up again. Honestly, who wouldn't want a player that can drop punt goals from 65 out in the wet and take the contested marks he does. He is one of the big improvers this year for mine, well since finally being giving the opportunity since Vicks went out he has been great. He is also very accurate and he has a excellent kicking style.

Must re-sign!!!!!

2 months ago most here wanted to get rid of him.

Not me!
I've always said that you cannot easily find 200cm players that can kick it 70m and are good below the knees and can take a mark.
The guy has never been given an extended chance to cement his place in the side.  Still has much to learn but has the tools to make it.

Can I quote a few general silly statements on RFC matters on here?

Back then Vickery couldn't hit a target the size of an A380 and Dusty apparently ran just one way.

Winners are grinners that's for sure.

[Mr Magic]

Dusty still runs one way.

[YellowandBlackBlood]

Dusty still runs one way.

Thankfully it's toward our goal!

Absolutely.

When has Sheds has a game like Dusty did against Nought at the Dome in 2011?

Titch plays 5 great quarters in 8 seasons ...... Contract extension time beyond 2016.

Sheds is just a soldier that's it nothing more nothing less Dusty is currently a Brigadier with prospects of being promoted to Army General. Pretty good for a one way runner compared to someone whose played over 100 games and ran inconspicuously in small circles in 95% of them like a chicken without a head.

I did and if he leaves I wouldn't loose 1 minute of sleep.
He played ok on Saturday night but let's not get carried away. Still yet to be in our best players.
His good is passable but his average is putrid still.
A 1 year contract on a low base and higher match payments is all they should offer considering his first 6 years on our list.
IMO it's his turn to put faith in himself and his ability rather than us to have to show the faith.

[Judge Roughneck]

Five years.

Four point something, as this season isn't over 

Some might say four full seasons isn't  that long a time span,for a guy   6'6

6 Years ???  This is the end of his 5th year. He has played a total of 32 games of which only 19 were before this year (less than a season). Was very restricted by injuries and was tried to be converted  to back man. Has shown more improvement this season than most (Astbury and Ellis trump him). Most forget that in the first part of the year Griff and Astbury's improvements  were the only shining lights. Definite keeper in my books, 2 years and 3 if we need to do that to keep him.

Draft history: 2009 NAB AFL Draft 2nd round selection (Richmond) No. 19 overall.

Beat me to the point but I wasn't going to change my whole post
