such a silly thing to say.

Give me a break Simmo is nowhere near the player Bowden was.

You do digress but I suppose anyone that is as inbread as you obviously has an excuse, you also seem to have a problem with WA, why would that be? I am sorry if I come accross uneducated...... oh hang on no I am not, go eff yourself. Yes I digress but if you think you are better than me and you have the audacity to attack me personaly then my comments are all you deserve.

Like I said I supported Edwards and he has shown nothing but if he gets up great and good luck to him, he has until the end of the year IMO, by the way a hell of a lot of posters agree regarding Edwards. So take your highly educated behind the eff out of my face and shove it in theirs.

WAT, it's not that I think I am better than you, it's just that it is hard to respect your opinion about Edwards when you say things like

He is a god VFL player at best.

How do you know that? You live in WA ffs!

William Powell for instance attends most Coburg games and usually posts his match reports when he gets home. If he said Edwards was toast then I would have some respect for it because he is out there freezing his cods off and watching them every week. You would have to admit that you are merely an armchair critic.

you also seem to have a problem with WA

And by the way, I have nothing at all against Western Australia, but having said that, if Indonesia ever decided to annex Perth to their archipelago, which they could easily do, it wouldn't bother me in the slightest, nor would it if WA decided to declare independence from Aust and form it's own republic, good luck to them, who cares.

Stick to the topic and stop with the personal sniping 

Ok Wp fair enough. I'll stick to that so long as you stop avoiding your own swear filter rule   

[WA Tiger]

Goodnight DC (should use the initials more often), you are just right about everthing and thats it....

[Moi]

A message has been sent this week  
Won't miss any of the players dropped, especially boofhead Bowden
 

[Tigeritis™©®]

Great selections, especially Edwards, TW did not know how to use him, now that JR has put in a bit more pace in the side, watch Edwards come into his own.

 

I'm with you Dallas, I like Edwards, he was exciting in his debut year, then had his development stunted under Wallace.  

who didnt?

Hey, you have had a fair crack at some longstading and respected posters on this forum since you have joined it. There is nothing wrong with that- Just have some evidence of what you are saying, For example, instead of bagging fringe coburg players, give us some news on  some up and coming Wa youngsters that you have seen, It would be a much better contribution to this forum than the pot shots that you keep taking at our Victorian compadres.

Is that fair ?

Look mate I couldnt give a poo if you or your compadres are from the North Pole, I am Australian so don't start on the WA/Vic crap with me that you resorted to, as have others on this forum. I give as good as I take don't worry about that, the people I have had a go at on this forum are the habitual Coach and or player baggers.

Yes we all are entitled to our say but a lot of the rubbish I read prior to Wallace leaving was personaly directed at him and I found that offensive so I reacted.

"Fair" is backing this club, the players and each other up as supporters, but typically Richmond we are too busy degrading each other. I read many many forums as well as all reports on every Coburg game including WP's. I have never heard very many good words said about the way Edwards plays and when he is in the main side he has let us down just about every time. I have read one good report from Rawlings on EOTT on the RFC web site regarding Edwards. So aside from not seeing the Coburg game live I have taken on board what I have read, heard and seen of him on TV.

I will do what I can regarding the WAFL but being 1,700 k's from Perth it makes it hard to get there every wekend, I am sure you can understand why. When the games are on TV they coinside with the AFL so thats difficult as well. But I will see what I can do.

Edwards should be played as a half-forward. He's too small to be a defender. It never made sense that Terry made changes over summer to what was a settling back 6 in 2008.

I'm happy with the changes although it appears Joel was dropped due to his birthdate rather than form. Anyway a statement has been made that we are looking at 2010 and beyond so I can't complain with that. Probably also says the 5 outs won't be around next year while Cuz will get another year. If Browny wasn't injured and in the side it would've be interesting to see what decision Jade would've made with him.

Those boys will run out of puff before the end

Maybe that's the plan

Then I don't know whats going on, when I read the Rawlings report on EOTT about Edwards where he said it was the best game he played, guess where he played........... backline.... go figure.

That's cool, I felt the same way when you rolled your eyes at Edwards.

With all due respect WAT you are falling into that category yourself now with Edwards and this thread is proof of it.

Roger that. Didn't realise you were so far away from the action.

I'm so pleased JR didnt bring in Schultz.  I can only hope he never does.

I did not have a go at Edwards personaly, it was based on what I have seen and read about his footbal skills, which I had a say on. I can honestly say that I have not bagged any other player and that is something I am proud of.

But like I also said, I hope it works out for him and for us and I will admit if I was wrong, but we will have to wait for that.

Garbage, Simmonds was structurally one of our more important players, if not our most important
Our decline this year has plenty to do with Simmo's lack of form

[DallasCrane]

Infamy, Simmo has never dominated the ruck, at best he draws even with his opponent- and he not once has even done that this season.
Tuck has been more effective in the ruck this year than Simmo.
How is that structurally important?
