Malthouse's view of where Richmond needs to improve
« on: April 03, 2012, 07:53:17 PM »
Mick was on 3aw before 7pm tonight and he was asked by a Tiger caller where Richmond needs to improve. Mick replied that our backline needs a full workover as we have too many players who are too slow decision makers and who "wander". They need to gain possession and then take 3 steps to figure out what they want to do with the footy and you don't have that time in the high-pressure of AFL so they get nailed. Their footskills aren't quite good enough either and that played into Carlton's hands on Thursday night. Either Healy or Russell brought up Post's name and that he had to step up this year for his own sake. I don't remember Mick making a comment about Postie.

Mick was also asked about Daniel Jackson and he said Jackson is just a trier. He's got a solid body and all but he's also a slow decision maker.

LOL @ Russel and Healy talking about Post again.. It wasn't that long ago that they were asking whether he is still on the list.

Idiots.

Agree about Jackson though.. Someone should tell Dimma.

Was in my car  listening intently to that covo OE
Said Daniel Jackson, was a good trier, not a bad kick, tough body etc but lack decision making.
Yeah wasn't Malthouse who brought up postie
The anywhere, anytime Tigers.

malthouse may not have mentioned post by name but he described him to a tee
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

He also mentioned that while the body grows, the brain doesn't but then talked about experience helping but not compensating for lack of "smarts".
The context was when talking about our back 6 and Post.

I'd like to know his view of Newman, he was ordinary - in a big game, again.
It's that simple Spud
"I discussed (it) with my three daughters, my wife and my 82-year-old mum, because it has really affected me … If those comments … were made about one of my daughters, it would make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I would not have liked it at all.”

Best big game I have seen Newman play is Dreamtime at the G last year.

Looked like a skipper, acted like a skipper, played like a skipper and kicked a ripper in the third.

Captains goal.

I agree with Mick for the most part.

Post got caught from behind because he didn't realize Gartlett was so close to him. He'll learn to just bang the ball on the boot if there's no one to give it too and he has opposition players behind him

Never has a truer word been spoken

I didn't hear the interview but based on the summaries would think Mick is on the money

But it's not just this year

He's been getting caught throughout his career because of his slow reaction time and poor instincts

Post is slow, in every sense of the word. Im worried that he simply lacks the tools to become a quality backman. If your not fast then you at least need to be highly skilled. He's neither. Assberry and even Griff have more potential in this position.
Wish Moorey stayed fit. He was a good player in my eyes.

That was 3 weeks earlier. Wont learn instantly. Might happen a couple more times and he'll work it out

Will repeat it's been happening for 4 seasons now

How much longer do you give him?  ::)
