A few things

[tigersalive]

Collins has a long way to go. Gets caught way to often.

Correct, also his defensive side of his game is non existant

Had 8 tackles last night.   Best of any of our players.


He did get caught ahead of the ball a bit too much but he still easily did his quota of defensive work.

Tackles are not an indicator of your defensive side of the game.
Each player plays on a player not in a position.
Collins often pushes too far forward of the ball and continually get caught out on the rebound.
Having 8 tackles doesnt mean that he is good defensively, especially when his immediate opponent if 50 metres from him when they have possesion.
Each player is accountable which Collins aint.
Saying that, I think the kid has potential but he wll need to have improved 25% from last year

Firstly,Brett Deledio - trade him next year.
Im sick of the little siss going missing.
Has his body looking greaT AND CARES MORE ABOUT HIS APPEARANCE THAN playing football.
What a wanker this guy is.
Matty White - lmao - what a dud - htf is he getting a game.
Andy Collins - see above.
Graham - waste of a place.
Tambling - LMAO
Hardwick - LMAO
cAMPBELL - LMAOOO
Dustin MArtin is a judd - good luck keeping him at a club full of weak bastards.
I hate the RFC  - WHAT A JOKE.
i HOPE THEY FINISH 16TH !

i agree with you with Brett Deledio!

Brett Deledio is Richmond's softest player!

i personally do not consider him in our starting 3 midfield.

Cotchin and Martin are our future!

i am not a Brett Deledio-basher, but seriously, he is soft!

Deledio has everything an AFL player would want and he is just living the life as a Footballer, $$$, fame and everyone kissing his a*se!

he won 2 B&F under Wallace, 2008 was Richardson's Year, and 2009 was Jackson's Year!

Richard Tambling should be playing in the midfield!

put that "Girl" on the half back line, and put Tambling in the middle Hardwick!

we got smashed in the midfield! our midfield was the problem on Saturday Night!

I wish we had 22 player playing on our list that were as "soft" as Deledio.
Gimme a break, I've never seen him shirk a contest, that Army Award for bravest act during an entire season should prove that

[cub]

Claw is on the money

I thought you were on the we will surprise this year wagon Jack!

Well that first up effort was a suprise for some wasn't it.

Luckily I was listening to Highway to Hell instead of watching it Saturday night.

Buckle in for Round 1 lads this could get ugly

[TigerLand]

Can someone please send me a link of a Richmond forum with posters that have atleast a spofteenth of knowledge about footy?

What a pee weak post.

We'd win more games then lose if we had 22 Deledios on the field. It's as simple as that.

Ox can I draw your attention to this = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Football_League

Read it study it and come back to this forum when you have, it will benefit everyone.

Lids is our softest player. ooh geez i have heard it all now. What do you call Newman then or Moore ooh hang on what do you call Mclovin or Edwards.

you have no idea. he is our best player alongside Martin. if you think Cotchin deserves elite status as our best midfielder think again.

Whilst he needs time and probably is our best he has done absolutely nothing to suggest he is there yet.

cant believe Lids cops it. mate without him we are stuffed. might as well shut up shop and become the tassie tigers

mate, with him we are still "stuffed"!

i say this because for a player with that much ability and 6 years in the AFL, to not at least dominate is a waste.

when the pressure is on, he goes missing!

 

[TigerLand]

Dumb thread.

[Ox]

dumb player.
whilst i'm not as peed off today,he still bitterly disappoints me,
6 years...

[Stripes]

yes he is Jak.

"they are supposed to lead from the front.so many just not up to it and so many others down."

Also, so many just not up to it and they let so many others down.

Again,Deledio is an hole.
fooled,selfish,egotistical (silently)- just like Bowden.

Lids is our best player.

[dogged]

torch..... there is not to much that is bright about you. It seems very personal for you towards lids , what's the matter poor little fella living your emasculation through somebody else. And as for that other bracketed drop punt....... spineless unco's.

[dogged]

()()()()()()()(())())=sook

[JVT]

There are 15, soon to be 16 and 17 other clubs in the AFL that would jump at the opportunity to have Lids, stupid thread. He is a gun!

[TigerTimeII]

i have said from day one lids has had an easy ride and been his biggest critic

but i have always said he has the skill and what it takes

and from what i saw from him on sat night i was impressed, i have never sen him go in as hard or gut run as much

i have no idea why lids is being bagged after that nab cup game, he and martin were our 2 best players, yes martin looked great and will be a gun, but his game , een though it was great lacked a bit on his defensive side, whereas deledio played a damn good all round game . if deledio plays all yr with that attitude he will win his 3rd b and f


ox well ox can stay in his brackets
