We dont need midfielders. We need a CHB, CHF, FF.
The KP players in the upcoming draft seem average. Id rather see us get a star midfielder than an average CHB or something.
people say they dont want a average tall & want a midfielder
What about all the average midfielders we recruited
The constant suffling of forwards in & out of the team instead of letting a player say like (example) Shulzs or Hughes play a full season at FF to develope at the top level instead of constantly changing players & mess with thier minds. You got to help them build confidence & let them establish themselves into the team, not banish them to the bench then back to Coburg where they wont develope & lose interest.
We need KPP's at CHB, CHF who present from the CHF through the centre & wings so the wings can pushback or push forward to bang it onto a tall FF who pushes forward to the 50m arc.
Until we stop buying these peeweak players who have no strength in contests & are lazy.
Another thing that irates me is our players running past to receive handballs are so close to the disposer of the ball & run into trouble. instead of receiving a longer handball & running harder to receive it keeping pace of the game bursting forward. l have seen none of this type of football from Richmond players
Nothing has changed in coaching. The list was turned over & l reckon the mistakes from the Wallace/Rawlings coaching is far more terrible than Spuds time coaching.
We replaced Frawley with a so called tactical coach who was nothing more than a tactical mouth glorifying his own world & Tuesdays with Terry is the most ridculous thing l ever seen in football.
l reckon Frawley given them 5 years of Wallace/Rawlings would have done more with Deledio, Tambling, & others.
Also Frawleys defencesive experience would have been great for McGuane & Thursfield whos games are pathetic when 2 old men destroyed yesterday.
The defence has folded under Wallace/Rawlings.
Seeing Richmond players trying to play zone football is like watching under 14's, except the U14's understand it better & execute it better. makes you wonder
Cant blame that on the older players as they are not out there & have not been most of the year.
We should be in front of Sydney in terms of recruiting & playing finals as other teams who were bottom with us some years back Essendon, Carlton, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn, Adelaide, North Melbourne, have all moved forward into the top 8 since 2002 & we have collected a few spoons & are still the most disgraceful skilled team going round.
What makes me even more irate is our players still have under developed bodies & cant hold the basic tackles, They are weak
Other clubs clearly know this & will take us on without having a second thought cause they know they will break through & you have players like hanging on like Jockeys is embarrassing.
A new coach must come to the club ( Leigh Matthews ) l would clearly hunt him down if l was the club with his own picked assistant coaches, fitness staff & we need better medical staff cause until that happens, all of us will be skulled stuffed for years to come
