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.

Post is like McGuane

Pretty much Ox. Perhaps not quite as good hence why Luke was preferred on Petrie in the last.

You think Post should be delisted? If so, who else goes with him? We can't delist all our average players in one go. I'd prefer Post gets another crack (as long as he performs for us for the rest of the season) over quite a few others.

He's actually a pretty easy delisting. About 5th in line if all are fit and available who can play similar roles to the one he played on Sunday.

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.

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

Not as blind as some apparently.  Yes, that's what I do, list my best players pre-game.  His game was average and that comes directly from my post-game summation.

My game is good and my rating is my opinion, just like yours.  If Rance or Grimes played the same game as Post did then we would be saying they were average.  I'm not rating him on potential or growth or man-love, I'm rating him on what he did for the whole game and I thought he was average, nothing more.  Just like I thought Newman and Houli were poor to average.

I wouldn't. No goals kicked on you and a poo load of spoils doesn't = an average game for a defender in my book. No errors with ball in hand either. Thought Posty was solid

From where I was sitting, and what I could see I thought he was solid.
He did miss that first mark, but he managed to take some good ones latter, used his body in the contest and made some good spoils.

still a way to go, but the jury's still out for me

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

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

Show me where I said delist him. I rekon he played okay and if he can do it for a few more games this year give him another chance next year as his last chance to really step up. But another game like round 1 and he can bugger off

Average. Made a couple of mistakes and cost us a goal by getting caught once. Didn't have anywhere near as many spoils as Post did. Wasn't bad but IMO he was average. Post was definitely better

still a way to go, but the jury's still out for me

I think we should give him as much a go as Vickery had this year.
Club hasn't given him the opportunity to string games together which can't help his confidence
What do we have to lose?
It's that simple Spud
