Who cares, it's all about development isn't it 

Willy the horse I backed last week didnt need development it needed a miracle lol.

McIntosh's pass finds Anderson inside 50. Coburg actually kick a goal.

Only 100 pts down lol.

Geez Geez. I am up to 22min of the third.
79-43.
Think I might stop now.

Going forward the midfield should put up more of a show with Helbig, Knights , Foley, Lonergan & Vlastuin. 100 points loss is not acceptable. However it was always going to be very hard with our best five midfeilders outside the senior side missing. Thus leaving a very weakened team that was too tall.

Please do not use the lords name in vain

my thoughts are that in such windy conditions the older bodies lasted the distance.  We didnt spread well and put it down to an off day. 

Thought McBean looked pretty good though. When he puts some size on he'll be decent at AFL level.  Will take time though.  Dont think anyone was pushing for selection

Nahas tried but nothing to warrant promotion.  If only O'hanlon had an extra bit of pace!! He'd be much better.

My only problem with having a reserves side is that if we have injuries we may be forced to play kids who are not ready. In 2014 will we still need VFL 'recruits' to fill the gaps?

Have said this before: We will be required to have a VFL only list of players, these are referred to as "top up" players to ensure we have a enough players to field a team in the VFL if we have excess injuries to AFL listed players - this is a requirement of the VFL liscencing agreement imposed on the AFL clubs wishing to stand alone in the VFL. Not sure of the minimum number but I think for memeory it is 10 or 12. Look at Geelong they have the other Selwood brother who used to play for Brisbane on their VFL list and is thier VFL captain. Collingwood up until this season had the other Pendlebury on their VFL list. Stand alone VFL teams usually target a couple ox ex AFL players and then top up with kids who've just missed out on being rookied

What do you mean?

We will sign pure Richmond listed VFL players to cover injury.

I assume to play in the development league too?

Have said this before too

The RFC will not field a team in the VFL development league. They don't have to and more improtantly are not allowed to, the development league is for traditional VFL clubs only and it is part of their licence agreement

Any RFC VFL listed (top up) player not selected to play for the VFL side will have to play for a team in a suburban league

Thank you for that information. How does this work? Do we need to list these players before the season starts in a Richmond VFL listed players format. Or can we at random sign them up to play a few games based on their form and injury and form of richmond senior and rookie listed players? Williamstown VFL listed players were quality. And the Footscray list seems quite deep. I look forward to next season very much. I am sure these suburban top up players will be superior to Groves, Abdallah, Robertella, and Anderson. Even Carnell....

If you can help me understand the answer to this that'd be wonderful.

What happens to afl listed players if team balance is an issue when we are stand alone. Today we played way too many talls. Do they play in another lower comp? Do we have 3rd's?

[WilliamPowell]

YES Bents The RFC will have to sign up and then lodge their VFL list of players prior to the season commencing. Cannot be added to once the season starts.

You have misunderstood what I mean about players going back to play in suburban leagues if they are not playing in the VFL. As Richmond will not have a team in the development league their excess players (VFL listed only not AFL listed) will need to be able to play somewhere. These players will go back to suburban leagues.

No idea how Whitey made the bests. Same goes for Carnell who was continually caught with the ball. Looks like another case of a journo just picking out the top stat getters.

Cleary and Rhys-Jones were going on about Coburg being a Richmond reserves side yesterday but the loss of Knights, Helbig and Vlastuin out of the midfield meant Coburg relied more on Burger smalls to be the ballwinners at the centrebounces and stoppages.   No doubt many of our boys had games to forget but the Richmond players in yesterday's side were either talls or flankers/wingers. It was just an unbalanced line-up from a RFC perspective. Being too tall meant a tall had to sit on the bench and that restricted the rotations of the smalls.
