Jayden Post [merged]

[WilliamPowell]

Posty has had poor efforts but I have seen him go back with the flighty too many times to label him as soft. At times he is (round one being a nightmare) but still think he could offer something. Frustrating player.

I suppose that's the issue isn't it Coach.

 You obviously remember more of him going back with the flight of the ball. I have too many memories of him pulling out of contests or not going in for the ball. Round 1 being the most recent one but that wasnt the first unfortunately

JP is 22 years 5 months old and listed at 195cm
TV is 22 years 1 month old listed at 200cm
I think I would be keeping JP in front of players like McGuane, Jackson, Newman, would love to have Grimes on the field every week but he isn't, moore is only jsu back in and who knows how he will go injury wise. Derrickx, Griffiths, Browne,
There are a lot of players who could go before JP.

We have persevered with TV this year, I think play posty every game for the rest pof the year, move him around.

Remember they were trying to handball Tuck last year, no one even picked him up in the ps draft now he is in our top 8.

JP needs a chance, 4.5 years and he goes now?? This would be a waste in my books. Nothing to lose for the year, play him Tom Derrickx every game, if no good bye bye if OK keep them both in front of other players.
At least his age is an upside and if you are talking about heart look at how shaw shirked it for Collingwood now he is pretty handy in Sydneys lineup.
I think posty has enough upside.

KEEP POST!!!

We need to drop our dud players now and put hopefuls in for the rest of the year. I don't care how we go from now but FFS stop playing the usual suspects and play some fresh hopeful players to give them experience. This crap of trying to get a win every week to appease supporters now counts for absolutely nothing. It's next year which is important now so lets start to works out our list and have a monty cleanout.

Post has played less than 4 seasons. He should have played another 15 games. Club should have persisted earlier

Agree 100%

What I cant understand is we have been giving easy games to Miller and MGaune and Post finally gets a crack on the weekend after rd 1.Alot more to work with him in the team.Confidence is what Post needs and that comes with game time !!!!.

Yeah I agree 150%

There is no issue with his 'skill base', its his attack on the ball and the man. I don't think these are things that are developed either (so that excuse doesn't fly), unlike understanding the game plan and where to move the ball. He should have the 'grunt', so to speak, to go and attack the man and barge through some packs from before he was drafted. God knows he has the size to make an impact on field and instead he prefers to 'not get involved'.

Agree there are others to be moved on first, but he isn't safe if we get recruiting some players from other clubs through FA and trades.

Seems the acceptance of mediocrity is alive and well at Richmond.

One can only hope list managers from other clubs are as excited by what they saw from Post yesterday and we can trade him off before we're lumped with another ordinary player for 9 seasons.

Gotta agree MM, thought his game was average at best.  Better than his recent efforts but still nothing to make me think he will make it.

[Smokey]

You've got no idea what WP is on about, Madtugger. What is one thing that a bloke like Morris always brings to the table?? Give you a tip, it's something that was missing from Posty's game in a big way in round one.

Thanks Coach

If the Mad one wants me to spell it out then I will

And just one more thing Madtiger, I go to all games. So what I am talking about regarding Post in round 1 was not something I saw on the Telly but what I saw first hand on the night. The fact that 15 weeks later I still remember it as clear as if it happened 10 mins ago high
iChat's how bad it was

Post is softer than whipped butter.

Should package him with Gus as the Dairy Twins.

Part of development mate. Playing on a 201cm jumping forward isn't easy. 7 goal loss, 3 goals to hampson. Not as bad as it sounds. He got caught by Gartless once. That's happened to alot of players too. How many times has Shoenmarkers been smashed like that in the last 18 months? 10 plus times. He's still getting games. Post has looked reasonably good in most of his richmond games apart from a couple only. The only way he'll improve is with more senior games. I'd much prefer him playing than Miller, Mcguane and Moore

Your response just proves you don't know why he was dropped.

Development? Please give me a break

It had nothing to do with how many goals Hampson kicked or getting burnt off by Garlett - nothing.

As I said get a copy of the game and watch it closely and you will see the main reason and here's a hint it isn't pretty

I'm rating him on yesterdays game and his other solids richmond games. If he stayed in defence for the last quarter we probably would have won the game. He had tarrant removed from the game. Smashed him while helping Rance a heap on Petrie. If you can't see that you really don't know what you're on about. You can't see crap on a replay anyway. Being at the game shows everything which is up/downfield. Rating playings on tv is the biggest mistake. First game of the year players are rusty and struggle with the pace of a first real hitout

Couldn't of been helping Rance to well in the last when he got his run on. Was moved forward to swap for McGuane cause he got a run on

[Ruanaidh]

Persevere with Posty.

How blind are you. His game was very good. You're one of those who don't want to see him play well and take his game as poor even before the game has been played

His opponent was subbed out of the game. That's when he went forward. You notice that? Or you refuse to acknowledge it?
Instead of being blind and wanting him to fail and get delisted. Open your eyes and see his attributes and see were he will improve. You don't realise how required he is. Our 3 tall defenders are rance, griff and grimes. Our 3 tall forwards are jack, vickery and ???? If one of our backs go down, Post is next in line. He's ahead of derrickx, astbury and elton as a defender for sure. While Moore, Miller, Mcguane are as good as finished so he's ahead of them too. He's also capable of playing forward. Late last year against the bombers he did just as well as Griffiths up forward but didn't kick the goals. I reckon our perfect set up would be Griffiths in defence when we play the top 8 sides and Post up forward. The top 8 sides have a big forward such as Petrie which Griff would take. Griff's pace would be handy up forward against bottom 8 sides and Post in defence. Grimes hammys aren't too reliable either so Post may be in defence more often than expected
