wouldnt think jake king is a certainity, dont get too carried away.. played 2 good quarters last week after 6 poor games
Rance has improved heaps in last month, credit where its due.
As a group, i dont think there has been much improvement if any, several players have gone backwards or have had NO improvment what  so ever, where you have improvement in some players, others havent .  eg Nason, Post.McGaune, Graham, Farmer, Jackson, Edwards,Thursfield, Browne,Goudis,Hicks, Webberley, Hislop,O.Reilly, Contin, ( 15 players )So Rance has improved, tick there

Theres not 1 high quality AFL player in that group. Infact I'd suggest that most if not all of them would struggle to become good AFL players let alone stars.

LOL just because you made a list don't make it a fact Jack, and that's a fact.  Some of those names are preposterous to list at this stage of their development honestly.
Lots of people name their swords......

Those that have improved from last year - Cotchin, Vickery, Rance, Grimes, Batchelor, Foley, Thursfield (imho has finally found his place), Dea, Browne, Nahas and King.

Positive inclusions to the squad - Houli, Batchelor, Conca, Grigg, Helbig and Miller (short term).

Earlier in the season Dusty would have been top of that list too.

So for mine that is 17 or 18 positive improvements to the squad compared to your 15 possible players who you metioned may have had a stagnant season or gone backwards.

Stripes- Foley Improved?


Get of the meds man

The guy is  a liability and has never added anything to his game the whole time hes been at richmond.

Why Jack would you tell me yesterday (in another thread) that Thurstfield should get another contract next year? If he has gone so far backward in the last 2-3 years, why????
Usually like most of your posts Jack but you do tend to change your mind from day to day.  :thumbsup

Ever heard of Injury? Just look at Kerr the last couple of seasons compared to this one! I wouldn't write off Foley just yet ;)

Tucky is fine when he keeps it simple and kicks long but when he tries to short pass or kick around the body the ball just goes anywhere but to a teammate. He can get the pill but it's using it which is the problem and that's why Dimma wouldn't play him in the seniors until recently. Tucky's not the sharpest tool in the shed and is a slow thinker. Not on his own in that department mind you.
