Oops! Sorry, I thought I had him in the outs. He's definitely out.
Add in Deledio, as I forgot him. :shh

Yep ranceys Gawn, not like rance at all he is frustrated.
Players always gotta say the right thing, thing is I ain't believing it :banghead
-
Why do any of u even bother with this crap with the way they've been going about things ?
Seriously, as if it will make any difference.
They're stuffed and the coach has stuffed them.
You can put superman in The centre square and as long as he had to do what dimmer wanted,
The result would be the same.
Wake the stuff up

Ps. Stability in mediocrity.

I'm done caring who plays. It doesn't really matter
-
Out: Rance (susp), Jack (inj), Ellis (wont happen), Morris & Batch
In: Elton, McBean, Short, Castagna, Deledio.
The above wont happen though because Hardwick is in self preservation mode now, he will be too scared to play the youth and he will hang onto the hope that players like Morris, Batch and Ellis will see him through.

After last night, feeling desolate and frustrated BUT Cotch, Ivan, Lloyd, Miles, even Astbury tried hard and will be playing next week, Jackmethinks will be out so it will be McBean at last.
Agree with your ins, how about Vlastuin in for Morrie Minor as well or is he injured?

Ah yes Vlas, forgot him, maybe he comes in instead of Short and for that matter, Lennon instead of Castagna....

Jack will come up for the Port game. I just hope that Rance can get off. Low impact instead of medium with a good record may get him off? If not then I hope Grimes comes up.

It's a happy place to be

To each his suff'rings: all are men,
Condemn'd alike to groan,
The tender for another's pain;
Th' unfeeling for his own.
Yet ah! why should they know their fate?
Since sorrow never comes too late,
And happiness too swiftly flies.
Thought would destroy their paradise.
No more; where ignorance is bliss,
'Tis folly to be wise.
-
I have no confidence that Hardwick will swing the axe and believe the only change he will make is to replace Rance with Lids. I hope I am wrong.
-
Castanga is coming :shh
-
Out; Chaplin, (RFC Forced Retirement) Townsend, C. Ellis,
Interchange; Vlaustin, Lennon, Griffiths, McBean,
-
Rinse and repeat……. :whistle
-
There's not enough talent to replace the crap players in the 22 who need to be dropped.
If Jack and Rance don't play we'll need to use McBean and Elton one would think. Lids should come in.
So many blokes who don't deserve a game but who will get one...
-
Does anyone actually think Lids was a realistic chance of playing last night?
Or was it just another lie from the RFC.
We will probably get a news release this week saying " Lids has a slight setback at training" and miss another 2,3,4 weeks.... Same with Yarran.....same with Grimes
I heard Elton comes in this week regardless if Rance gets weeks. Apparently they want to play our only genuine KPB playing reserves as a forward this week... Go figure.
Only at Tigerland :gotigers

Deserving or not, better to give kids who can still improve a game than hacks who never will....we simply don't have the depth to keep making talented kids "earn their spots"....culture won't improve until we clear the decks anyway....and that's not going to happen until next pre-season at the earliest and only if Hardwick at the very least is gone....basically we're back to where we started under him....needing to get 50 games in to our kids ASAP....at least this time we have some better kids, a better senior core, uncompromised drafts(sort of, they never truly are) and some trade currency....just need better people in charge, making the right decisions....

Fork out a lot to be a member of this club
But seriously I really don't care.
Bring in Butler or George and dump Townsend and Morris.
Big deal
Want to make a statement then drop Ellis B, Houli to name 2.
Drop the favourites for once that real make a statement. Granted 3 seasons too late but at least it's a statement of sorts
Said a few seasons back after the Hafey tribute game we were a dishonest footy club. Last night proved that we are still so incredibly dishonest
-
B Ellis
Houli
Morris
Batchelor
Should all be dropped.
Rance suspended and Jack is half a chance.
I can't see save himself Hardwick making that many changes...he will probably drop Rioli and C Ellis.. the youth...

Elton and small/medium forwards is what I'm hearing.

had someone raise this last night. for the life of me, I cant see the point, but that doesnt mean its not the case.
Now, if they never really expected Lids to play, the real concern is the two blokes they had on standby, townsend and hunt.
Both are skilless hacks, yet these are ones they had lined up to replace our most skilled player.
go figure?

Lmfao at all the angst. You would think nobody could see it coming.That is not true of this site it has always had it fair share of realists who could see what was wrong so why the angst.
We had a chance to vote in two new board members and get a fresh perspective on things but the nuffies new better.Most of The supporters deserve all they get they swallow hook line and sinker all the codswallop the club dishes out. Talk about sheep.
The club also deserves all it cops it only ever changes anything when crisis happens.
The gutless wonders at the club now need to finally show some intestinal fortitude and firstly admit they have got it wrong and then do something about identifying what is wrong and actually fixing it.It wont happen because many will have to fall on their swords.
Before any player is cut from the list in anger or any new players come to the club the following just has to be rectified or we may as well just close the doors.
1/ Recruiting it has never been good.
2/ List Management what a joke it is.
3/ Development. so few actually become good consistent players and most run around every yr with the exact same weaknesses they came to the club with.
4/ Coaching staff most are failures and have no idea.
5/ Fitness staff it continues to be an absolute joke at the club.
The first three is and always has been the life blood of any football club.
Forget about bagging players we all know there is plenty of duds. people need to demand at all times the first three points are the priority because without doing the first three things extremely well it wont matter how rich your club or how good your coaches are or if you have the best facilities in the land with out the first three points you have nothing.
For too long too many of us have lambasted the club for failure in these things it is time all of us demanded excellence in these things and on field the rest will take care of itself.
On who should play and who should not.
Clearly the focus must be on youth but we must still try and play the youth with good structures and enough experience around them weekly, 100 point floggings will do no one any good least of all our kids.
We could easily make 8 or 9 changes this week and thats just the mature players thats how poor the seniors are.The juniors getting a game in menadue ellis and rioli could do with a change of scenery for their own good, they will have no confidence left at this rate, they are getting belted and they are not being looked after by their senior mates.

Well said but bagging players is fair game

Typical isnt it. your not here to debate this topic or most topics for that matter, yet you still feel compelled to interject endlessly with nothing but personalised bollocks.
I could turn this into another slanging match but your just not worth taking the time or trouble to do so, my time is far more important than wasting it on an imbecile..
See ya.

Rance's suspension will keep Chaplin in :help.
Out: Rance (susp.), Morris

Reckon they will play Hampson next week
Vickery isn't a ruck option when Ivan goes off
Huge problem there

-
Outs Rance (suspended), Jack (injured), Townsend, Houli, Ellis (Cory) all dropped
Cory needs to find form and confidence in the 2's.
Houli needs a few weeks in the 2's.
I'd give Brandon Ellis, Ty Vickery and Grigg a last chance but make it clear once they are out - it's not a week in the 2's / it's a stint.
I would give Morris the one role he is good at which is the best small forward - people talk about others being crucified by the coach. This bloke can sit on another's tail inside 50 and harass him out of the game. These other roles have confused his football.
I am hoping Lids and Vlas are fit / put them in.
My instincts say McBean and play Ty up the field and hope that both step up :pray
Then I'd bring back Lennon to play high half forward and Elton to replace Rance.
-
The ressies are a bigger joke than the seniors, no one there that really desrves a shot bar Chol!
It will all come down to default and just to finish off all you McBean lovers will be in for a rude shock if he gets a call up.

You would give Morris another go...FFs... :facepalm....just..... :facepalm....You wonder why some have a go at you. This is just another example of people accepting the rubbish we have, Morris is finished, the sooner people like you and the club realise it we may actually be able to move forward. But while everyone and the coaching staff still think players like Morris and Batch are of any with them=n we will remain at the bottom.
Also, instead of playing C Ellis on half back where the ball is constantly and we are under so much pressure, why not put him forward or try him in the center or rotating on the wing. No, lets play him where he can get flogged and then drop him...really!!
Drop
B Ellis
Morris
Batchelor
Houli
They are the ones that a clear message needs to be sent to. Morris and Batch should never return if we are serious.

I agree some are pinning too much hope on him by I reckon it's time to just throw him in the deep end and see how he goes. If he doesn't lift then it's back to the 2's until you do

I don't wonder, it's a forum and I expect people to have a different view :huh
I think Morris can sit on an annoying small forward. He hasn't done that consistently since 2014. I'd rather him in that role than Vlas and Grimes is injured.
Ellis C looks down on confidence - just give him some time in the 2's to regain it.
Agree on Batch but I'm sick of this drop a player after one week - revolving doors selection isn't going to win games or instill confidence in the playing group.
Agree on B Ellis but just think 5 changes is enough for a week, if they wanted to make a 6th change I'd agree with you.
-
cant argue with that
-
Unless the AFL change the sliding rule, Morris is never going to be as effective as he was again....
-
Still I'd like to see him given one last chance to play as a lockdown small defender with no more experiments. Apart from grimes who I'd prefer on leading medium talks, we have no one else even remotely capable of locking down small fwds.
While we're at it, I'd also like to see Hunt given the opportunity to play exclusively as a tagger. Anyone that's played sport as a defender or tagger understands the mindset involved, I'm convinced he's lost his edge since he came here because our dumbarse brains trust have filled his head with notions of grandeur that "he has so much more to offer us than that". Give them both one last chance to do what they do best and if at seasons end they aren't good enough, then move them on.

Assuming Grimes,Jack, Vlastuin and Deledio all play.
how about we put our most potent players in the middle.
FB: Grimes - Chaplin - Vlastuin. Chaplin only because Rance is out.
HB: Castagna - Astbury - McIntosh
C: Deledio - Martin - Edwards. This is easily our best midfield time to play em together for as much as possible.
R: Maric - Cotchin - Miles.
HF: Lennon - Riewoldt - Rioli. Two young med/sml genuine fwds in rioli, lennon. A third tall who could do with a little exposure at the level in Chol.
FF: Lloyd - Vickery - Chol
Int: Townsend - Grigg - Menadue - Either Elton or Griffiths.
If Grimes or Vlastuin dont play then Houli gets a reprieve.
I picked Townsend because i would like to give him a good run at it, besides the need for a big inside mid has not magically disappeared. I would really like to see them give him a run with role on Ollie Wines or Boak.
Didnt pick Corey Ellis because i think he really needs a break.He is to be a ten year player there is no need to flog him to death now.
Chol i chose over McBean from what i can gather he may not be getting a lot of goals but he is playing well and giving good contests and works without the ball in hand.Play Vickery next to him and hopefully he can take a bit of heat away from the young fella.
I bought Griffiths in to play second ruck and give some cover both fwd and back.
About 6 changes and none would hurt us atm.
-
Yeah but what about grigg and Townsend in the middle
That's workin well

Morris? You must be taking the p....! No longer is there any room for players who don't have numerous roles, the main one being getting the ball and creating some accountable action. Morris is atavistic, an anachronism. Hunt is worse. Batchelor worse again. But Dumma and that recruiting team are the real culprits. Or perhaps the board. T Wallace? D Frawley? Etc

The Barometer - Round 6
Herald-Sun
27 April 2016
RICHMOND
ON THE BLOCK: The Tigers’ woes will surely be compounded on Monday with superstar backman Alex Rance set to be cited by the match review panel. Jack Riewoldt finished the loss to Melbourne with a sore ankle. As for the axe? Damien Hardwick admitted there were plenty of underperformers – so plenty will be nervous this week.
ON THE CUSP: Oh no. The Tigers’ VFL team did the unthinkable – lost to a spirited Frankston side, which entered on a 24-game losing streak. And it happened after cruising five goals clear early. So who’s hand is up? Well, Brett Deledio for starters. He was a late withdrawal against the Dees but with another week of training under his belt the superstar will face Port Adelaide. From the VFL game it was rookies Maibor Chol (four goals) and Adam Marcon to impress. Ben Griffiths also returned and with the Tigers’ struggling for an avenue to goal, he could be in line to face Port.
SAM LANDSBERGER’S FORECAST: Time is running out for the Tiges. After the Power they must battle top-four outfits Hawthorn and Sydney, with their friendly draw about to expire. Deledio is a massive in – Richmond is three wins from 18 without him – and they’ve come back from the brink the past two seasons. The clutch of mid-tier players need to start helping out captain Cotchin and Jack, or 2016 will go down as a wasted year.

In the Mix - Round 6
Nathan Schmook

27 April 2016
RICHMOND
Vice-captain Brett Deledio has been declared available to return from a quad injury for Saturday night's clash against Port Adelaide after he was a late withdrawal in round five. The Tigers are clearly refusing to take any risks, however, so another week on the sidelines can't be ruled out yet.
Ben Lennon was an emergency last week and could earn a recall after an in-and-out start to the season if a head knock in the VFL doesn't sideline him.
The Tigers will need defensive reinforcement after Nick Vlastuin's leg injury and Jason Castagna (23 possessions in the VFL) is an attacking and in-form option.
Jack Riewoldt (ankle) needs to pass a fitness test this week and if he is unavailable tall forward Ben Griffiths is his likely replacement.
Rookie midfielder Adam Marcon (32 possessions in the VFL) is pushing hard to debut.

Assuming Grimes,Jack, Vlastuin and Deledio all play.
Grimes very unlikely, they said last week he'd suffered a setback was likely to miss a further 2-3 weeks
-
Was always a 10 week injury
-
They should and hopefully will take their time with him

No Vlastuin either (injured).
AFL website mentioned possibly Griffs and Lennon (trained with the forwards this week).

OMG.....Hampson back in :P
-
Won't bother going this week. Hampson. stuff me.
What a great opportunity for someone like Elton to play against a pretty ordinary Port forward line.
Since when do 2 ruckman ever work? Hasn't worked for about 10 years.

Hammer Time

Two ruckman was always the plan
Vickery to play permanent forward thank god

Coaching staff not courageous enough to pull the trigger on Castanga it seems :thumbsdown

Agree with the Elton comment. Must be given the chance and has played solid enough footy at VFL level. Lets see what Chaplin offers as the so called leader down back this week......

Yep so we're going to play 2 ruckmen, both slow as treacle as well as Vickery who runs even less than those 2
Perfect opportunity to give Elton a run for 2 weeks and see what hes got, but nah..
:clapping

Jacob Townsend's Wonder World - because we wonder what in the world the club were thinking trading for him....
We gave up pick 70 odd for him, hardly the end of the world. At least he has shown he will have a crack.... Moore is worse.
People around here are always quick to let me know when im wrong so no specifics, but i actually like a fair few things about Townsend. First year on our list he at least is one of well one big inside mid that we have. There is nothing to lose playing this guy what is there to lose? Old saying nothing ventured nothing gained i still have hopes this guy will prove people wrong though even i admit there are two key areas i have serious concerns about.
Dunno if any one has taken the time but his record as a run with player against the big inside mids is pretty decent, wht are we not at least trying him in this role.

For a supposed "midfield enforcer" & "Cotchin bodyguard", he's been next to useless... only bloke he ever seems to hurt is himself......

Showed more agro in the NAB too

Vickery might be the first AFL player to take the field in a motorised wheelchair....
