Rather give griff a major rocket, get him in and c

Edwards is a much better option than Griffiths at the minute. Why do we need to tell a 22/23 year old monster to get some pig in him? He should be holding down a spot in our side but instead the only reason he gets a game at Coburg is because he's on an AFL list
I agree with what your saying about him having some mongrel by now but he may have just lost all confidence. 
Atleast we'll know one way or another.
He either wakes up and turns out to be another Tom Hawkins type or he end up like another Gus Graham.
Either way we will know something about him.
By playing Edwards it may be great for a short term fix (to get us finals) but not great for long term team development and sustained success.

....maybe we shouldve listened to a certain poster on here that suggested we get Jesse White.  ;D

But not to the one who suggested Butcher

How would we know? Has he been given the chance to sit at FF and have cot chin/deledio laser beam it to him?

Or has he been hardly getting the ball into the Coburg forward line with non vfl standard hacks like abdullah kicking it to him?

 :clapping the latter

Doesn't seem to stop McBean  :shh

Mcbean has been forward all season has he not?

Griff was full back for most of season. He can kick far but not 200meters.

More so Griff has been playing forward when the better Coburg mids are out of the team (vlastuin etc

Very poor game from Aaron today backing up from an average game against the WC. I believe that Richmond needs to look further into its list to fill the third tall/lead up option.

Both 2nd and 3rd options are pretty grim at this stage

Struggled today.
Even Martin ran in front of him to mark in the last quarter and kick a goal.
Third tall is really struggling.
Maybe time for McBean. :shh

You think keep playing a 29 y/o VFL player that has very little impact whatsoever, is a good idea?
....and you talk about blinkers because Lockup is part of the "bigger picture".
Hilarious!   :clapping

I give you Exhibit A:

we r in good shape

conca ellis vlas are all captaincy material

once we get rid of our bottom 4 players and replace them with decent players we will be flag contenders

LMAO, and they say a week is a long time in footy. 2 weeks is an eternity.

banner should simply say.....

WE ARE NOT RICHMOND........ WE ARE stuffED!

killer instinct lmao been over 30 yrs since we had one
and killer instinct begins at the selection table and sadly softwick lacks this
soft coach produces marshmallow players

after tomorrow we are out of finals contention

another yr of failure


think hardwick needs the bullet

he is fos


because hardwick is a bigger spin doctor than mmr wallet himself

he has fooled us all


hardwick must be sacked or walk if we dont make the this yr

he is fos


hardwick cannot coach

all he does is try copy other coaches

has no idea what he is doing and which players to select

he is pathetic and talks the talk

another wallet
