Forward Structure

[Stalin]

high humidity does not make for wet weather football or create a wet ball.

Is it quantum physics to understand that March Queensland weather involves higher humidity and dew % compared to dry Victorian conditions?
Thus making it closer to wet conditions than dry? Not to mention the higher amount of sweating = slippery pill. I apologise if that is difficult to understand, I assumed wrong.

But surely you can see having 3 KP forwards in March on the GC was a bad idea?

Keep Smiling Al.

lets see sam day 196/103, charlie dixon 200/105, tom lynch 199/101.  the same sort of structure worked okay for gc.
keep on saying it there is nothing wrong with the way we structured up and intend to structure up.  fact is good sides maintain their structure no matter the conditions.
if we talk about the quality of our talls then perhaps we will get closer to what the problem is. most certainly out talls were poor it wont matter who we play if we get that sort of output and performance from them we will fail.

every single side plays two permanent kpfs. every single side also compliments them with a ruck/for or for/ruck  and that is a minimum.
we have numbers but do we have the quality within those numbers. not imo.

Apparently

Charlie Dixon - port
Jay the German - freo


Wtf is Richmond doing

Locked and loaded

Even though we have the worst forward line in top eight we do have the second best defence in the top eight. 

We need goal kickers but Blair & FJ was too busy trying to get Trengove over the line for a first round pick.

Locked and loaded 

there is certainly a lot of options

Locked and loaded 

LOL We have been locked and loaded for the last three yrs.
We have one decent tall defender, one decent tall fwd one okay ruckman and the rest of the talls is a mish mash of kids hacks and so so players.Locked and loaded and back on the road to nowhere.

Just one bad run of injuries and there will be no talk of top 4 and premierships, instead the talk will be how to avoid the spoon.

Why would you say that im just being realistic about our talls and our depth. You know instead of spitting the old dummy and talking about dreams you have nfi about tell me in a reasoned way why our tall depth is so good and why we could still make the 8 without Rance, Riewoldt, and big Ivan. I have aready seen what happens to the backline when Rance doesnt play and what i have seen of Vickery and Griffiths to date makes me cringe.

Do we really want to talk about losing Big Ivan?  Hmm i thought not.

I am prepared as usual to put it out there. We will struggle to make the 8 even injury free. I shudder to think what will happen if we have a bad injury run which has not happened in Hardwicks time.

Who was our marqee player who is going to take us to the next level? Oh yeah  softie Yarran, whos going to get the ball to him? we know he wont go and get it for himself.I shudder to think Grigg, Houli, Grimes, Vickery,Yarran, Ellis, Chaplin weak soft pricks and then theres the mentaly weak pricks na better to not go there yet.

lol, where are you pulling this poo from?

I think we would be very hard pressed to make finals from that position. 

To lose two AA big men and your 1st choice ruckman for the whole season would be pretty unfortunate. I think even the best teams would struggle with that.

What's your point?

For the record, I'm actually not bullish about our club's chances next year. I think there are plenty of "ifs" that will need to go our way if we are to do anything significant in 2016. I just don't seek out negativity and rejoice in hanging poo on the club they way you do.

[/quote You think i rejoice in hanging poo on the club wow.  Its called reality.
I can think of one side this year who made a gf who lost as much. Its not about rejoicing its about being honest. Most sides will drop off losing those players  but if we lose them we will finish bottom third.Thats the difference between middling and top.
I dont rejoice in anything remotely involved with the club not onfield good or bad. Theres only getting it right and getting it wrong. IMO We still get far too much wrong and our results reflect that.
If negativity means a lack of sugar coating thats fine by me.

So 7 yrs into Hardwicks rebuild and your still not bullish about our chances what does that say? oh yeay lets all be positive ffs.

This was definitely an area that frustrated me a lot last year. I hope they've improved this over the summer.
