FFS, you are all a pack of whingers, trust the club, trust the coach and the list managers, I reckon Posty is OK and with some confidence will do well.

Did I just step out of the Tardis?

These sorts of comments were thrown about with gay abandon 2 years ago....Nothing has changed. Kick backwards, a sloppy handball to a player under pressure...
Mind you I did see him attack the ball and evade two defenders against the bummers which made me stop and think "F Me...was that post??"

The big man is back.

You werent the only one, I was stunned for about two minutes when I realised it was Post.

I was trying to work out who the two bummers were, softer tacklers than Tabouli and grigg in those two.

Laffy.  LOL.

Lets give everyone 10 year contracts and see what happens....

Whether Post is any good or not, he needs to play senior football so that we can find out what he is capable of.  Lost opportunity this year dropping him after round 1.

Hawkins had how many years in the seniors being carried before he finally matured.  Richmond likes to leave our developing forwards in the substandard reserve competition for years where the duds of our duds rarely get the ball past centre and when they finally do butcher it beyond belief.  Then RFC turns the forwards into backman so they can occasionally touch the football when their confidence is totally shot.  Hawkins wouldn't have made it at Richmond.  Would be playing reserves football and struggling for a kick in defense.  Would be getting bashed week in weekout by rejects.

You can't blame supporters for not being able to differentiate between a poor player or a player who has been crucified by the RFC football development system and coach.  Supporters can only judge players on what they deliver.

Great comment

The argument is would you want 27 year old Chaplin who can be a shocking kick or would you want a promising 22 year old? Bringing in Chaplin would cause young backs to want to move clubs just to get a game. I'd take the 22 year old any day of the week. I'm hoping Chaplin does his knee this week so we dont make a stupid mistake

[dwaino]

Let's get Watts. Surely on the brink of a break out year. Just look at Hawkins

By the time he's 24 he'll probably be a fine player. You won't see Melbourne getting rid of him

Both can be a shocking kick but the reality is we need depth and you can actually have depth and still develop players, so there is no argument. Considering the fragility of Grimes, Griffiths, Vickery & Astbury, Posty should have no dramas getting regular games. Not to mention if he's so good and Chaplin so poo he shouldn't have any trouble beating him to a spot either – the other talls don't struggle to get games. And if he thinks changing clubs will mean a walk up start in someone else's 22 he's got more issues than I thought.

I'm hoping you trip down the stairs on your way to the toilet at the end of the first quarter, break your ankle and wet yourself

Why then last year would we bring in a 26yo Ruckman when we had a promising 22yo Ruckman allready on the list
How much have you actually seen of Chaplin?? Considering he was ruled out for the rest of the season 4 weeks ago while he has a knee clean up I wouldn't say you have seen alot I would rather have Chaplin down back than Post any day of the week......Period.
