Welcome everyone to One-Eyed Richmond's Tiger Forum Cheers from mightytiges and WilliamPowell.
Credit where its due, he kept ward to 19 possessions and did the job that was asked of him. He also kept Joel Selwood to about 5 touches in the first half when we played the cats. He's been asked to do a completely different role the past several weeks and is responding. I know we all have our whipping boys and for good reason he's been one for a while now, but im glad theyre finally trying something different with him and he's responding positively. Id rather 15-20 possessions, 4-5 tackles and a reasonable shutdown on a quality opponent than 25 possessions of pure rubbish coupled with 0 tackels and 0 defensive runs
I thought Lids had some time on Selwood but he was solid enough yesterday. Jobe would be an interesting test.
14 unassuming touches instead of 25 ordinary ones. I'll take the former.
Why he still gets a game is beyond comprehension. Yes he ran with Heppel, but why does he run past the ball or run past an opposition player with the ball when he has every chance to make a tackle or intercept possession? The answer is he is only concerned about himself and not the team as after the game he can say, gee, I played well holding Heppell to 21 touches today, played my role, what were you guys doing. Shocking player who will never change.
