Named on the bench and McIntosh and Pickett named in his position feel sorry for him already. Really hope they give him a bloody good go in the role we have developed him.

Don't know if you're aware but he's been spending a lot of time playing as a rebounding HBF
He wouldn't care. Just wants to take pots shots even based on team sheets which mean absolutely nothing. Oh and btw I think Pickett and Macintosh are are far from the problems we have.

Oh dear oh dear precious much. Oh by the way where did i say Pickett and McIntosh are serious problems.

There would hardly be a thinking tiger supporter who does not have issues with McIntosh's ball use and other areas. Pickett so far this year has struggled. So why not play the rookie in his best role, a role he has mostly been developed in this year and thus  giving him the best chance to succeed.

Simple fact is far too many kids have not been played to their strengths and have had limited game time when picked. Not too many would argue with that either.
Unfortunately we do have our fair share  of precious blinkered ones who feel the need to defend everything that the club does. :whistle

Doesnt change the fact that you are taking Pot Shots based  on team sheets. Doesn't change the fact that you didn't take notice of where he actually has been playing in the two's. Doesn't change the fact that you didn't acknowledge where he was actually played. Also doesn't change the fact that most of the kids that have played have been played in the area thay have been playing in the two's. Actually could you please give examples of the "Simple fact is far too many kids have not been played to their strengths" as I cant think of "Too Many".

Actually when I think about it there probably isn't "Too Many" players (to use your term) you havnt had a shot at this season.

Fact he has MOSTLY been played on a wing in the magoos. Wing hbf much a much anyway.
The real observation was the hope they would give him good game time in his best role which has  been wing .
 The comment far from a pot shot was a simple  observation and hope  that they dont do to him what they have done to others and give him a decent go.
But hey thats just being too harsh and unfair iyo.

The fact that you have to ask and cannot think of any instances where kids have had limited game time and in the wrong roles just shows how blinkered you are.

At least with the Players who i have rightly criticised this year i have given the reason why. Which is a critique and not a pot shot but read it how you like.

Made the wrong decision a few times but that’s to be expected of a first gamer. Liked his endeavour and didn’t shy away from it. Give him a few games to get his footing.

Agree with that analogy. Had a real dip and showed heaps of endevour. Was not a great game but lets hope they dont do the uual poo and drop him after one game like they do with so many kids.

Exactly. Unfortunately this guy has no idea how to comment without insults. Stepping over the mark here though. Almost time to dig up the "Claw post during our good years"stats again.

The opening shot or is that pot shot. and then this above. Talk about a hypocrite.

LOL, Everyone else is wrong and your always right in your world , i not sure there are too many other posters that alway resort to insults when someone has a different opinion to theirs and constantly  bag their own club and players more than than they offer a balanced view.
Maybe you could get a second opinion from a medical professional to see if you can find some joy in the world because you don’t seem to be getting a lot of joy from Richmond FC
PS: your team won three premiership's in recent times

Listed at 187cm. With short coming back in at half back, maybe banks becomes kmacs successor for that wing spot? Will have to build his tank and work on the defensive side of his game (easier said then done) but he certainly seems to have him covered disposal-wise.

He looks exciting.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.
