Griffiths out. I'm done with his pansy football. Dropped marks and just lack of anything significantly meaningful.  Pee him off.

Lennon in.

Play McBean
Play anyone.

Please. :help

McBean is no good. Griffith is better believe it or not but Griffith would not get a game in the U11 c team. They are both weak people. Weak footballers.

Out: Hunt, Grigg, B.Ellis, C.Ellis, Griffiths, Grimes , Hardwick

In:  Lennon, Butler, McBean , Rioli,(if fit, if not C.Ellis stays) Edwards, Elton , Williams (yes I know that's a lot of forwards but I don't care- it's also a lot of skill, Lennon, Butler & Edwards can all rotate through the middle)

Out of the backline and into the guts: Vlastuin

Into the backline :McIntosh

Vickery into the ruck, Riewoldt to the square, Hamspud decoy not the stuffing target or at least hand it of to Martin or someone

One more chance - Townsend before we have to resort to Moore...and then praying....

McBean is no good. Griffith is better

Bullshyte.

Hunt must go forever.  :banghead

Id drop Cotchin too. He's championing the cause of all ballerinas with his dinky 20 metre specials. Theyll built a float to honour him at the Sydney mardigras if he doesn't channel his old self soon.

B. Ellis is a scardy cat. He must go through 3 pairs of panties each game.

GirlGriff has developed into a tall wimpish hermaphrodite.  Well done Richmond.  :clapping

Unfortunately we still have the Spud as our best ruck option.  :clapping

C. Ellis. Have we ruined him already? 

Ins:  who is left that's any good?

Griff must go, headband and all. I really really like Griff and want him to succeed but jury is out. Will be his last year, needed to explode this year or at the very list be competitive. Haven't seen that in either game.

In all honesty I would sit him down and say as a forward you aren't AFL standard. If you are going to be on our list next year it will be as a ruckman. Thought this should have been done over the pre season. Bulk him up and get him ready for ruck contests. Roo, Ty and McBean are our tall forwards. Griffiths is surplus and not up to it. He has had enough chances.
Go Tigers!

Well the bad news is that with Grimes out, Chaplin or Batchelor will come in.

Out:   Hunt, Hampson, C.Ellis, Grimes (inj)
In:  Lennon, Maric (if fit), Edwards (if fit), Batchelor.

I have been a big supporter of Griff but he was horrible this week after just being Ok last week. He stays in the side only because from the sound of the VFL reports from yesterday nobody has put up their hand to replace him. So many are in the same boat ,should be dropped but nobody has showed they are up to replace them.

Playing Hampson is like playing a man short around the ground, sure he competed in the ruck well but we get nothing else. That just wont do in todays game. Would be better off playing anybody (except Hunt) and let Vickery/Griff share ruck time. Sure we would get beaten in the ruck but would have the extra man on the ground. As for that last play, you neither go up for the big punch or stay with your man. He did neither. Not the only reason we lost but was one of the many.

Same as last year I think this game was lost at the selection table just as much on the ground. Some things stand out to us simple supporters that for some reason the selectors cant see. Dont get it.

Well said Fluff,
Interested though, don't you think we are going backwards picking Batchelor?
I'd personally be happy to keep C. Ellis in the side as we need to give him exposure at AFL level. He isn't going to learn anything in our VFL side unfortunately.  We need him to get to 50 plus games as quickly as possible.
I don't think we can play Astbury and Batchelor in the same side as they both don't give much offensively, and we need attacking footballers in our backline to be able to give our forwards a chance before the opposition get players back.
