Official Round 5 team vs Brisbane

[The_Truth]

Happy with the Vickery omission, it's a wake up call.
One of Griffo and TV won't get a game when Maric returns.

[Diocletian]

If Shedwards actually stays forward and we use him as a crumbing forward, I'll be OK with that. Not over the moon because we really need a Cyril Rioli type but Shedwards has some value when he is in the forward line.

He's had one half-decent year when he kicked 29 goals....his next best return in any year is 12 goals. He's one-sidedness costs us more goals than he kicks. Liability wherever he plays.

if its dry and a dog fight with no free flowing footy allowed my moneys on brissie. geez riewoldt and griffiths are going to have their work cut out. reckon elton should have been given a game.

I think the 4 day turn around worked against the guys in the vfl team….

[tony_montana]

Vickery stiff. Tried as hard as Chaplin and Grigg.

 

[tony_montana]

Happy Ty finally got dropped, my goodness though S.Edwards?? what a joke

[(•))(©™]

They'll get beat because Brisbane know how soft they are.

Lol

Theyre as bad as melb and Carlton but think their finals worthy.

Tragic state if affairs.

Mcguane-6

[Chuck17]

LMAO Pettard in Vickery out, we are still one player down

[tigs2011]

Can't believe grigg is still in.

i can. Hasn't been dropped in over 3 years here. Why would u think it would start now?

i can. Hasn't been dropped in over 3 years here. Why would u think it would start now?

why because until this yr there was no real expectation or real need to succeed in a way.

heres a hint of our problems though. what id term genuine mids not named.

deledio  - only walk up start not in there and hes out for god knows how long. you just dont stuff around with achilles.
gordon - looks decent hes no world beater though.
helbig = has done exactly what to date.
knights - injured would be a better option but hes not one atm
miles - well being a rookie says it all.  not an option.
williams - another rookie see miles.
could we  possibly play lennon on a wing atm  would that be an option.
yes there are other  players capable of going thru the midfield but they are not regular mids who are expected to go all day.
in effect atm there are two options 3 if you include lennon, gordon and helbig.

the depth in this area exacerbates the problems we have

[georgies31]

Match commitee have no balls to drop players letting us down week by week because of the past.To many favourites fullstop.FFS Petterd in we a laughable.I said this week and say it again you cannot play Jackson and Thomas in the same side both limited in there roles.

Don't agree with you there.You play players on form simple as that no matter on there ability's or else you a sending the wrong messages none of this favourites business what's going on now.Miles has performed claw it was a mistake not to promote him match committee got it wrong big time.

If you play players on form, why do 90% of the team get a game week after week?

[Hellenic Tiger]

This is Richmond you get a game regardless of how crap you play.
I expect Ty to return against the Hawks next week.

Two years ago we beat Hawthorn by 10 goals and the footy world was salivating over our midfield elite in Cotch, Dusty and Lids.

Two years on and Grigg, Titch, Newy are our mainstays and the footy world has returned to normal.

Dimma you effen lied to me.

[WilliamPowell]

One can only hope the reason some of the other usual suspects remain is because of the 4 day break for the blokes who played VFL

We can only hope
