Official Tiger Team -v- Geelong Rd 21

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Note to RFC and particularly Dimma.  2 years ago I attended a coaching seminar with Geelong FC which was 1 week after we played them. They showed vision of the game and highlighted RFC's predictable game plan and basically said shut off the outlet players and play a loose behind the ball and they can't win. 

What I'm saying is that Dimma has real trouble adjusting the game plan when they have worked us out.  This is why we can't beat Melbourne as they set up the same.  Ditto Kangaroos.

I'm hoping to see something different on Sunday.

Why then do we have such a good record against the Hawks, Swans and Dockers in the past few years.
Overall, we shouldn't have beaten any of those teams

Unless Marcon's been stamped safe and we're now trialing others in the midfield, then it seems odd to drop a first year AFL player after a 20+ possie game the week before .

Ive noticed Richmond seem to neglect players in red hot form .

Lambert was on fire last weekend - 37 pos 3 goals -  surely he should come in .

Make Edwards get a kick in the VFL , hes been woeful this year.

It's as if our selectors and football club staff are acting in the interests of opposition clubs.

Reckon part of the issue is they now want to "trial" everyone on the list but because  (stupidly) they left it do late in the season they run out of games.

Reckpj Marcon will be re-rookied which is the right call IMESHO, doesnt deserve a senior spot

[Diocletian]

Marcon should be delisted. Can get far better rookies than him, like Shane Nelson from the WAFL.

At least they have brought in Lennon. Team selections this year have been constantly poor.

I would have thought that his boat sailed long ago. Especially after his run in with the law.....

Still a good player though.

No player should come straight back in. Edwards is a top VFL player at best
