Sack Hardwick [merged]

[Stripes]

Dimma stated in his press conference that, in the last quarter, the fatigued players began to move away from the game plan and kick the ball high and long to a contest rather than spotting up a target. This was not Dimmas fault.

[lamington]

he was very very average in general play and coughed up the ball, missed marks and in some contests was no where near it. 4/10 last night.

Bit harsh    He made a few mistakes but was solid enough I thought. At least his opponent did no damage. That's half the battle. Anyhow here is the best players list from the AFL website.
Richmond best: Cotchin, Ellis, Martin, Vickery, Chaplin, Thomas, Astbury

Sounds about right to me 

For me the best players from best contribution to least

Cotchin, Thomas, Ellis, Griffith, and you can arrange the last 3 slots in any particular order.

Fitness staff are crap just quietly 

[Yeahright]

If they'd have kicked straight different result.
While he sits back staring into space

If we kicked straight we would of won by more. No point changing the circumstances

Carlton don't have a forward line.

Waite has his once a year cameo against us.
We can never stop any decent Indigenous player so all those fellows usually have a good 10 minute burst that kill us.
We are too soft and need to harden up.

And the one of our biggest problems to our team is the glaring lack of leaders that stand up to lead the team when things aren't going to plan.

Chaplin didn't have a single goal kicked on him last night

Can you tell me the players he played on? Certainly wasn't with Henderson all night. Why wasn't he on Jarrad Waite when the game was on the line? That's what Chaplin was recruited for wasn't it, to play on the monsters?

[Judge Roughneck]

Chaplin had no goals kicked on him cause he was a loose man

Assberry beat Waite. No need to put Chappy on someone a beginner can beat. 





Yes I'm taking the pee

Petterd is a better 3rd man up than Chaplin, at least he impacts the contest

[TigerMonk]

Best Players were clearly Thomas, Martin, Griffiths, Hampson, Cotchin,

cant disagree with that.

Bit of a myth that one Coach. Although I recall that's what the club was spruiking him as when we recruited him. Like Dustin Fletcher,  he will never take the big key fwd.

[Coach]

Myth? As you said, the club was talking him up as the saviour who would free Rance up. 90% of this website thought we had recruited Mal Michael in his prime. We've recruited Ray Hall without the heart
