Official team round 6 vs Port

[Chuck17]

Hopefully its not based on who is tearing up the training paddock

[Chuck17]

Maybe they could have a train off to decide who plays

[🏅Dooks]

Two trains, one tunnel. Who will jump the tracks?

[eliminator]

Would be good if they played Lids in the forwardline and dropped Hampson. No need for two rucks against Port.

[Chuck17]

We don't have two rucks, there is Maric and then there is the ninth goal post, 8 posts are enough

[TigerMonk]

if this side can't beat Port l will want massive changes at Tigerland.

NO EXCUSES

its on our home ground & there are 22 players out there.

l'm over the poo with this club with its insipid performances & basic mistakes.
l'm not attending games till they get their poo together. l'm done wasting hundreds of dollars every week on weak performers

Big need for two rucks
It creates a mismatch as they ain't tall down back
They will more than likely given Dixon a run in the ruck as same stage

Exactly why a tall forward should of got a run like McBean,would have been a good in given the circumstance.
Probably better to play Hampson, Chaplin or even Morris in the forward line though.

If you play two rucks the problem is that Hampson is not a good resting forward.

It only creates a mismatch in theory if both rucks are capable, if not you actually hamstring yourself by going in with one less.

A side containing Maric, hampson, Vickery and Chaplin - Geez H Geez that is SLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

or good around the ground as a 'ruck'

Exactly. Its all good in theory but if they arent up to scratch the theory means nothing. Just like the whole age profile theory at our club

all the more reason to be able to rest him on the bench

That age profile stuff drives me crazy. Sure, more experienced teams generally do better but it seemed that we were recruiting mature age guys just so we could quickly reach the right age profile as a team. The trouble is it ignored the fact that the players recruited were very average footballers and actually did not allow the team to develop together, another hallmark of success.
I thought Hardwick said no more short cuts at Richmond when he got there. He started off well but lost patience very quickly. Sure we were disadvantaged by the expansion teams but instead of taking the long and patient road he opted for the quick fix. The quick fix has ended up destroying the teams glue now we are faced with almost starting over again.
Someone has to pay for this as we are all heading to our graves waiting for a rebuild from the ground up. We need a proper recruiting, list management and development program fast.
FFS, show them all the door at the end of the year. I for one, am fed up with their incompetence.
