We almost have an obligation to not just Richmond but all of football to win flags while the likes of Rance, Cotchin & Martin are still on our list.

Counter argument:


A team playing Chaplin, Grigg, Newman.


Cannot win a flag



Unless  rance, cotchin and co. continue with superhuman efforts. For months

When you have Rance and Riewoldt you can build a premiership team. We are 3 or 4 players short at the moment. Biggest off season in 30 years coming up for the RFC. We need 2 big signings to continue the momentum.

Chaplin game wasn't that great? Got beaten by Tippett a fair bit. 1 on 1 is awful.

Chippy kicks are awful too.

Go watch the game again, he repelled a lot of forward thrusts and kept Tippit out of the game.

Go watch the game again, he repelled a lot of forward thrusts and kept Tippit out of the game.

He was out marked on 3 occasions in the last qtr and did a lazy right foot kicked to Ellis which dribbled out of bounced when he should've handballed. Too casual, too often.
“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.
