Nothing changes a decent game which is  not the norm and all and sundry think he has turned the corner only to let all down by reverting to what seems to be his norm.

He cops criticism for a total lack of consistency in games and on a weekly basis. In this nothing has changed since we have drafted him.

yep agree claw.

he is either fat, unfit or a combination of both.

Though perhaps he just isnt that great of a rioli to consistely perform week in week out.

Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.

Don't think we'd get anything for him but I'm prepared to bet another club would pick him up as a rookie or whatever.

Why single him out? Steely and Mansell have both been largely useless. At least MRJ looks dangerous when in the vicinity of ball and/or ball carrier
"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”

Mate, he was shocking last night. Did not look dangerous at all. Fumbled when he had opportunities and couldn’t stick tackles.

Mansell and Steely both kicked goals at least.

Are you fkg serious? Steely and Mansell were awful. They kicked a goal, whoopie doo. I agree MRJ wasn’t great but the other 2 were awful.
Mansell had all this pre season hype and has done sweet FA. He’s 24 and in his 5th year. DO SOMETHING.
The others I guess have time to develop. Maybe.

They weren’t great but MJ was easily worst on ground and many Tiges fans have commented as such.

Just checked the stats.

Mansell: 7 touches 1 goal, 3 tackles
Steely: 6 touches, 1 goal, 2 tackles
MJ: 4 touches, 0 goals, 2 tackles.

Did you watch the game?

By NO METRIC was MJ better.

The others were poor but MJ was horrendous.

lol at you classing that game as “not great”

I would hate to see what an “awful game” from MJ looks like to you.

-6 touches, -2 goals maybe?

He had a shocker like Green, Campbell and Mansell

Just as an aside I was genuinely surprised MRJ and Ross started on the bench. Very strange

Perhaps it wasn’t clear:-

1) I thought all 3 were very poor last night
2) MRJ, this year, has been the one of the three who has looked most dangerous in vicinity of ball and ball carrier
3) It is laughable to claim he was that much worse than the other 2 on Thursday night. The gap between the 3 of them was so marginal it’s ridiculous to single one out.
4) Mansell is the one who attracted the pre season hype / should be peaking and has regressed

Of the 3, I would drop Mansell until he finds form in the 2’s

More stats for some extra perspective.


Mansell 26 pressure acts (2nd most in the game) 3 tackles (2 tackles inside 50) 81 minutes (TOG)

Green 17 Pressure Acts 2 tackles (1 tackle inside 50) 101 minutes (TOG)

MRJ 14 pressure acts 2 tackles (1 tackle inside 50) 78 minutes (TOG)
The club that keeps giving.

Once again, MJ clearly the worst of a bad lot. Hence why he was rightfully singled out for a shocker.
