I see the Richmond "leg" has struck again

[tony_montana]

this could get ugly this week..

but good to see a lot of new faces in the side, would've preferred Gourdis to Post myself.
Looking fwd to seeing Browne play, morton on a wing and to see how Rance has come along after an extended stint in the twos.

Post In! Look out for another rant from WP!

[mightytiges]

WP will be happy seeing Post in    [Edit: beat me to it GR12 lol]

Collo named at CHF  . 

[crannyvegas]

Where is the GOO??

maybe Post will do what Angus did and just start being a player, magically.

[mat073]

WOW .

We needed more fire power in the team so I am happy to see Morton & Postie in the team.(I am picturing WP choking on his afternoon coffee as we speak)

Not too unhappy with the outs.You cant make any more excuses for Ritchie.Blind freddy could tell Tyrone needed a rest.

Polos last chance.

Not coffee but a triple choc chip cookie -crumbs sprayed all over my office

Yes I am over the moon - it fantastic

He really deserves it

Post In! Look out for another rant from WP!

What's the point

The powers that be obviously think it is a good thing to reward players who show now intensity at the contest, no defensive pressure and have been running around for Coburg in what can only be described as in a daze

So who am I to argue?

Does Gourdis deserve to be confused and disappointed in missing about again? Nah of course not

And finally I will be very interested to see how young Jayden plays, to see if all things he HASN'T been doing at Coburg he actually does playing for Richmond. If he does I'll be happy and be the first to say he did well.

I will also be very interested to see if people watch his defensive efforts (chasing, pressuring etc) and what people actually think of them

Oh and just one more finally on the other selections: Great to see BrownE get a game - well deserved and can anyone explain to me how Nahas has managed to retain his spot   Beggars belief

[eliminator]

Happy with ins. Hope Taylor and Gourdis get a chance next week. Agree it could be ugly. Agree this is polo's last chance. Does Polo have a future at Richmond?

[Francois Jackson]

Great inclusions. Post can play Rance not to sure about.
Good to see Browne finally in the team. Well deserved.
Equally good to see my favourite player finally getting what he deserved.

[jackstar is back again]

I have one question for all you nuffers.
HOW DOES NAHAS GET A GAME
Champion data have a new stat this week, how many times does Nahas fall over

[mightytiges]

Nahas is lucky there are so many outs due to 'injury'. The only reason I can think of as to why he's still in the side (on top of tanking  ).

Seems Goo won't be at Punt Rd next year. If he can't get a game with many of our regular defenders out of the side then he never will. I'm not surprised though as I never thought he'd make it.

It appears after the North loss we are back to full-on thinking about the make-up of the side in 2-3 years time. That would explain some of the ins.

[RollsRoyce]

Rapt with the outs, bar Cotchin obviously, but what can you do when Justice is not only blind, but deaf and paricularly dumb?
I like the ins too,mostly. Except, I would have left Nahas out and brought Gourdis in as CHB, releasing Astbury into the forward line to give us three talls up front.
And what's all this tank talk MT? I think we've done almost as well as we possibly could to cover the deficiences the MRP has left us with on their last 2 "rulings".

Why promore Goo if he won't play with us next year? Is it to possibly gain currency at the trade table? If so then he should be palying anyway!
