Hardwick.
Who isn't a fan of the thinking man's orange Tim Fleming?

Gerks 27/6/11

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

I don't think Elton will make it. Footskills too suspect.

What's your criteria for making it? - Number of games played? Standard/Ability?

O'Hanlon. Too slow and doesn't get enough of it. Turned into a big boy but I reckon that has been detrimental to the way he needs to play

Helbig, doesn't do anything particularly well.
It's that simple Spud
"I discussed (it) with my three daughters, my wife and my 82-year-old mum, because it has really affected me … If those comments … were made about one of my daughters, it would make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I would not have liked it at all.”

Criteria for me is whether they'll play at least 50 games:


Helbig - worst since JON

Elton - just not a footballer

O'Hanlon - skilled but slow, dumb & lazy

Griffiths - might make it but not at Richmond.

Williams - has something but ultimately nope

Mcintosh - nope, ordinary

Darrou - should make it but won't get the chance at Richmond and will be delisted because of the rookie rules.

Arnot - see Darrou - clearly on the outer with Hardwick.

Dea -  he might sneak over the line but I don't see the appeal.

Gordon - might get close but yeah nah...

Lloyd - 50/50 to play 50.

Helbig and Elton been called out on this thread. That maybe right but we'll never know how they'd go at the highest level coz Dimnuts won't ever give them a look in. Even when we're 3 and 10 and the season is shot. And yes , forget the crap , the season was shot at that point. We aint making finals.  Our resurgence for me just means that hard list decisions that needed to be made now won't be.

Not trying to be a smartarse mate but do you watch the magoos every week ? If you do then I'll respect that post. If not , then you're just throwing darts.

More than most - have seen a lot of these blokes since they've been here and am also a critic of people who judge the reserves but only ever see them when they're on tv if at all. *cough*claw*cough*

I actually agree, they should all be given a shot before the final calls, the problem is, apart from Hardwick's pigheadedness,  idiotic list management and stupid contract extensions have compromised us....yet again.

Ben Griffiths for me.
Never have I seen I bloke of this size so scared of body contact.

 I have his name was Jayden Post  ;D
And we know what happened to him. His marking was very good though but as I have said, it takes more than just being able to mark or kick the footy well. It's a tough game!
I think I asked you on another thread but I may not have read the answer, if so sorry. But what do you think of Griff?
