Have to disagree with your assessments of players. You're basically telling me you'd rather have Arnot, Thomas and Morris feeding it to Vickery instead of Ellis, Houli and Grigg feeding it to Griff? I can cop Grigg since he's not a good kick but he's better than those other 3 but in your view they have a crack so it's all good

Seriously, how the stuff could anyone with a clue want this bloke in our side over anybody? Spends more time on his arse than on his feet.

Played probably his best game of the year and had 10 touches and a goal. We've got to try someone new.

Was week 6 up forward.

His mark and goal will ensure he stays in the leadership and up forward till 2018.

Again we have a player who is not a natural forward playing there to fill a hole, how many other clubs need to do that? We seem to recruit players and turn them into something they are not. You would swear that had we recruited Franklin he would have been playing CHB. Sick of seeing players who played junior football in a specific position being moulded to suit another position, it might work occasionally but overall i think its doomed to failure. We seriously need to recruit for players for their proven skills in their normal position and not recruit these so called utility players who simply aren't going to you win you the big games.

That's rubbish. Sheedy regularly moved players round to find their best spot. So does Bomber Thompson. Playing players out of position is not a sin.

Disagree
All players are skilled
It's a modern game
Players need to play many roles in a team structure
You wouldn't argued when Martin went forward at times last year and won games off his own boot
Problem we have is that we can't /don't play players in various roles so we are very predictable to the opposition

If ha cant win your own ball, kick a goal or at least create a goal then you are not of a benefit to the team

Morris has epitomised the fall of Hardwick.

He is so desperate to be an innovator that he is obsessed with taking things that are working and reinventing them.

Like the way he took Riewoldt when he was dominating the forward line and made him play up the ground and not be the focus, like the Martin to half back, like the Vlaustin play outside and especially like Morris as a forward.

It is so obvious to everyone that this has never worked, from the moment it started until now and yet our coaches box can't see it.

Hell, even if you swapped the Morris and Grimes today I'd wager Thomas doesn't kick 5 and Grimes has no less impact forward.

Makes me wonder if there is anyone strong enough to tell Hardwick the truth in our coaching box. You'd think Mark Williams would by obviously not.

It is like the Emperor's new clothes, Richmond style. "Yes Dimma, great move Dimma, you're an innovator Dimma, just as good as Clarko Dimma."

Unfortunately for Dimma, the ten year old boy who is going to yell out "Hang on, this bloke can't coach!" is getting closer by the day.

I'm one of his harshest critics due his constant going to ground and going then man when he should be going the ball

But credit where credit is due, thought he was excellent today. Only real effective forward we had.

Excellent is a bit much

He was ok in patches, but he had 10 touches.
