Dea was very unlucky to be subbed tonight. Wrong call. Dea unfortunately has a knack of making a bad mistake look worse than it probably really was. It was a complete overreaction to sub him off, he was playing well.
S..Edwards, Hampson and Batchelor were doing nothing, Dea was influencing the game.

was ridiculous subbing him off, its no coincidence that their smallish/medium fleet got off the leash as soon as he went off.  If dimma subbed him for that dropped mark then hes an even bigger dh than I thought

[lamington]

Like everyone else here I thought it was rough he got subbed off. I would've taken S.Edwards or A.Edwards off. Shane didnt' have much impact and aaron went missing after taking the specky

[Tigershark]

Played ok but still Akes monumental stuff ups......has a crack that's for sure

[Chuck17]

Batch or A Edwards for mine should have been subbed

Grimes did OK but stuff me when he was chasing Gooodes he looked like a senior citizen jogging

[Jackstar is back!!!]

He refused to take the red vest when subbed off
Clearly not happy

[The Machine]

Another very solid game from Dea. Hard and tough and wins one on one contests.

Someone should've given him a motorised cart because he would've been quicker

Agree gives his all and is brave and made the mistake of dropping the mark resulting in the Sydney goal but is a definite keeper. Good far outweighs any negatives.

Sadly Dumma is going to make him the scapegoat for the loss this week.

Rance gave Goodes a smack in the back of the head after that run  Yes Grimes got caught bigtime. Too many Richmond players chasing kicks

[unplugged]

He was very good last night.  Thought his run was instrumental in maintaining defensive pressure and clearing the ball from half back.  I really liked his aggression. Which is probably why I was amazed that he was subbed for Thomas.  Our biggest advantage over the swans was speed because they had stupidly gone so tall and had injuries during the match, and we sub a quick for a slow.  Unbelievable.

How he was subbed ahead of Edwards was plain BS

Or Batchelor.

Poor coaching move to sub him. At the game I assumed he must have been injured! I was shocked when I found out he wasn't!

[the claw]

batchelor was the one who should have been subbed. geez hes ordinary.
like everyone else was shocked dea was subbed out.
