Oh look Jack wants talented kids dropped before useless old hacks...what a shock....

Well if you have any idea about footy at all
What that young kid did was a disgrace
He is going to be a very good footballer but what we dished up after quarter time was rubbish
At he made some shocking mistakes during the game and then does that
Spend some time in the twos
Sam Lloyd would of kicked into level 3
What are you talking about? What exactly did Butler do that was a disgrace? What was more of a disgrace than what just about every other player did?

Morris gives his all but either isn't good enough or just wasn't ready (I suspect the former). Just the worst decision bringing him back after such a short stint in the twos. Ridiculous and unnecessary. They should have elevated Soldo and given him an extended run in the senior side to give Nank a proper chop out.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

If people on here think Morris is AFL quality your kidding yourself.  Let's bring back Taylor hunt while we're at it.

It was just a dumb decision...but if anything he was being too unselfish...hardly lazy or show boating.....the far more experienced Caddy's handball when he should've had a shot early in the second quarter was far worse and pretty much turned the match....

Soldo isn't ready for full time ruck. You'd have to play Maric too. Same for chol. Expect two rucks next week is my guess.

I wouldn't drop any of the kids unless they need to be rested. Going back to the days of playing a kid and having them as the first dropped when we have a loss has to stop. We simply cannot afford for young talent to go into their shells or fear consequences when they make mistakes. Older players who aren't good enough or should know better can go. I'm looking forward to seeing Cellis, Bolton, Soldo, Lennon, Garthewaite and Stengle coming in over the next few weeks. Lloyd and Miles deserve a go, the so called senior players can be raffled off as replacements
"The money might have been better. But, at the end of the day, Richmond showed faith in me. It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”

Gotta a funny feeling if Nank gets suspended, big Ivy Maric will come in

Looked at the footage of Nanks elbow and only two things may save him. One, David Mackay held onto him a very long time after the disposal and Toby just threw his arm back to free himself up meaning it was unintentional and two, it may be mild or moderate impact as the player came back on and played the rest of the game.

Agree with Elton as he did bring structure but Morris most certainly did have very good form since his return. The whole team except Cotchin got a lesson tonight.
