maybe people here see something i have missed in darou.I mean he's certainly a big boy and would present a mountain to overcome,however he just seems so slow both in speed and reaction.From what i saw today he seems a long way off,but i dont know what dimmas is thinking on this and he probably rates these guys in a professional manner.

Jack needs to lead harder, but teams scrag and crowd him to death because they know he is our only dangerous forward.
this is correct.
If griffiths replaces miller he will demand a bigger backman to be accountable on him especially outside 50. All clubs aren't concerned with miller getting the ball anywhere outside 40 m from goal thus dropping his direct opponent onto the forward with all the talent.
The club that keeps giving.

Me i wouldnt drop either jack or miller.In fact if available i would add ty to the forward mix..the biggest headache is CHB.I hope dimma and the boys are busily working on this because the alternatives to Dylan arent exactly making me salivate at the mouth

just going by what has been said about him at coburg. he has been getting good reports from the coaches.
i still maintain we have a good chb but dont play him there that is rance who imo is a questionable fb. are opinions they are like arseholes we all have em.

had a look at most sites and few actually talk about how much our tall defenders struggled in the first half. and it seems in the second half the times essendon went forward  which wasnt a lot they managed to score.

win lose or draw. this yr or in 3 yrs time going with just 2 tall defenders is not good structure.

AS to griff at this point he seems to be struggling to demand the ball let alone a bigger defender

If you are going drop Miller then you drop Jack. Miller was poor, Jack was pathetic.

Outs: Grimes, King, Jackson

Please outline your thought process behind this comment.


Its a good idea to drop both key tall forwards this week?

What are you talking about?

What don't you understand?

People are saying Miller should be dropped. What I said was if you are going to drop Miller you may as well drop Jack as well as he was as poor if not worse than MIller last night - can I make it any clearer?

I don't think they will drop either

So my outs are fairly straight forward

Grimes is INJURED so he wont play

Kings was terrible - seemed more interested in bumping blokes rtather than trying to get the pill

Jackson - just makes dumb decisions and has poor skills despite what the coaches think I don't think it was something we could afford yesterday certainly it isn't something you can afford to have against the Hawks

Clear enough  ::)

Wp your logic is flawed. I am happy you are not coach or ceo of richmond.

It is not a question of did player x have an equal poor game to player y.

The question is which 22 give us the best chance of winning a) next weeks
 Game. b) a flag this year or some future date.

We are living in a vacuum? No its the real world and there is only so many player on the richmond list.

Does it not make sense to invest time and games into jack given his record and age?

If martin and tuck.both only get 5 touches each over the next 6 games do you drop both? Or do you drop tuck and keep martin due to.talent? Even in the case of poor form.



If you are going drop Miller then you drop Jack. Miller was poor, Jack was pathetic.

Again what are you talking about?

Not sure what being a CEO has to do with being a coach. They are 2 totally different roles. Do you think Benny Gale has anything to do with team selection ?   ::)

I said I don't think they will drop either Jack or Miller and btw nor should they

 My point which you seem unwilling to understand is this if you going to drop Miller based solely on his game last night then You look at dropping Jack simply because his game last night was woeful. People seem to be blaming our forward woes last night solely on Miller. Our ENTIRE forward line outside of Edwards was pathetic. That's my point. Why single out one bloke. Whether you want to admit it or not but based on output so far in 2012 Miller has performed better than Jack.

I would think that if we had in form REiwoldt running around at the minute we would have won more than 3 games

Yes Connors, may as well give him a crack.

Are you really that dumb? Jack is twice the player miller is. Jack form might be bad but hes proven and has a decade left. He is playing on the no1 def all the time.


And right about now he needs his anus reefed.  Dropped to the magoos would be a good start to let Jack know how much this is a team game and how important it is to play with a team spirit.  Very very very disappointed with Jack atm.
