Forward Line
« on: July 28, 2012, 11:11:53 PM »
At the rate we are going we will need to recruit more tall midfielders like Cotchin & Martin and just rotate them through the Forward line.

3 goals contributed by permanent forwards Nahas (2 Goals) and MgGuano (1 goal) - just not good enough. All the rest of the goals were kicked by midfielders and defenders!

Also need Delidio to rotate Forward - he has not kicked a goal for some time - he's got to spend more time forward.

The game plan requires skill and execution but the amount of turnovers under pressure and delivery by foot is killing us!

The game plan does not stack up if forward line does not contribute

Still cannot fathom why when it started to rain we run towards the 50 and then chip into the pocket. For a start Riewoldt had hands like Teflon pans tonight and secondly even if he got possession he was completely off target anyway. To me the common sense approach would be kick to the hot spot at the top of the square and look for the spilt ball, if was a defender i would much prefer to see the ball coming deep into the pocket.

McGuane giving away 5 free kicks in fwd half did not help. Then Rance and Conca gave away a few in the back half as well.

Reiwoldt is playing terribly.  Is he injured?
He needs to bulk up to improve his speed and wrestling ability.
Structurally we need to find a big power forward, is Vickery the answer, don't know yet.

Our small forwards are covered for next year I think in Edwards, Nahas and King, longer term it would be nice to upgrade on some of them but realistically its not a weak area of our list, so I doubt we'd move on that area this draft.  Next draft probably we will as King is getting long in the tooth and might even retire at the end of next year.

We could also do with a second ruck who can move forward and provide an extra tall in offense.  Again is that Vickery, maybe even Astbury or do we go and recruit, I'd be looking to draft one if we could, because Astbury seems to be non existant and Vickery has dodgy shoulders and may not make it. 

The other great wisdom has been draft half forwards, because if they are no good they can become half back.  And we need both.

Know I know what RFC stands for.

Riewoldt Football Club.

There's your answer boys.

If we can rename it back to Richmond Football Club and have this bloke who kicked 78 goals in a season a few years ago back on board and playing that sort of footy then we may have found an answer to a small problem that has gradually become a much larger issue since he knocked his head on the MCG turf in Round 2 2011 against the Saints where he has become bigger than the bigger picture if you get my drift lads. :shh

Need to develop or get a quality crumbing forward who can lead well as well.

We been talking for weeks how bad Rewoldt has been playing from behind & sooking to the umpires to get a easy kick, all while the ball is being carried out of the forward line.
The forward line coach & Hardwick are certainly not getting through to this guy cause he has nothing between those ears but illicit thoughts
