Changes for the Weagles game?
« on: June 08, 2015, 10:05:54 PM »
The Barometer - Round 11 (BYE for us)
Herald-Sun
June 8, 2015


RICHMOND

ON THE BLOCK:
Corey Ellis was subbed off but played his best game of the season, showcasing the foot skills that made him a first-round draft pick. His replacement Connor Menadue (0 disposals) might need a week in the VFL to get his hands on the footy.

ON THE CUSP: Chris Newman’s successful return from injury was the best news out of a 96-point VFL loss. Sam Lloyd kicked three goals and Nathan Gordon and Matt McDonough were OK. Of the long injury list, only Kane Lambert is looking at a return in the next month.

AL PATON’S FORECAST: Damien Hardwick might wish he could skip the bye to keep the Tigers’ momentum going after arguably the club’s best home-and-away win in a decade. The road ahead isn’t much easier, with assignments against West Coast (home) and Sydney (away) after the week off. Then again based on results so far — and with stars all firing and second-tier players like Nick Vlastuin, Jake Batchelor and Shaun Grigg in career-best form — Richmond is probably happy to take on the big boys.

Menadue will come under a bit of pressure to hold his spot and do some work at vfl. I'd love for Lennon or McDonough to be flying , my guess is newy comes in

Nick Vlastuin is not second tier……...
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Seriously, what dynamic da newsman bring to the team.?
He's too old, too slow, has always been a tempo killer, is a liability when he, kicks in.......there's so many things that they simply don't need.
He needs to be told..
Caracella and Balmey.

No change. To bring in Newman would be a backward step.

Yes he is
We will agree to disagree. He is our best player in the back six when the ball is in his hands and easily our toughest defender.  Considering he is up against Rance, that makes him first tier in my eyes.

You forgot to add IMHO.

IMO Newman is hopeless and has no dynamic. He has no future playing AFL footy, no leadership skills and is a lisy clogger. The whole team plays worse when he is in it as they know he does not deserve to be in.

I was talking about Vlastuin! And I said "in my eyes" which I thought meant in my opinion.

Don't agree with it happening but reckon the above is what is likely to happen

Having watched the last 4 weeks from the sidelines it has no doubt renewed Newman's resolve to get back on the field. If anything it should have had the reverse effect if he was thinking long term and in the best interests of the team but i think he wants to go out with a finals win and is hoping to be part of it. Unfortunately if anything he becomes our weak link and following his anticipated inclusion and we do lose against WC then i am sure both on this forum and in the media his name will come up for further discussion. I would love to be proven wrong and he comes into the team and really has some impact but i just cant see that happening to be honest (didn't happen before he was injured). If he does have to come in then maybe worth trying him in the forward 50, not a bad kick for goal and can take a good mark.
