In - Rogers, Kellaway D, Blumfield, Weller
Outs: Fleming
Hmmmmmmmmmmm........
Got to say I am disappointed. Thought I suppose there is a surprise - Rogers
-
In - Dunc, Rogers, Blumfield, Weller
Out - Fleming.
LMAOOOOOOO
But at the same time don't care as naming young kids will only ruin them.
Poor Tuck, he'll probably turn to alcohol like McGrath did.

Harry H,
We posted within 62 seconds of one another - you must have got the motorola message too ;D
I have merged the 2 topics

We better hope it rains otherwise the Dockers will run rings around these snails.
-
I will be dancing with joy when Splud and his fellow bozo's get the arse.
We're gonna party like its 1999.
-
I think those selections pretty much sum up the 5 years of coaching by Frawley and Co. Uninspiring, living in the past and a total lack of imagination, creativity and forward-thinking. By Sunday when the teams are finalised it'll be the straight swap of Duncan in for Fleming ::). Gee wizz Freo will be shaking in their boots at that change.
-
I hope Freo will be shaking in their boots because it's 4 degrees and peeing rain.
-
;D ;D ;D This site has a thinking swear filter. ???
I typed p1ssing in that post and it ended up peeing. Most impressive. :)
-
Speaking of ins and outs,expect to see a lot of it on Sundy.
-
lmfaoooooooo, lots of rotating on and off, the backline getting packed, lots of 2 on 1 contests....
-
Hopefully a lot of guys being Dragged too.
-
lmfao.
You can take the boys out of forsaken but you can't take the forsaken out of the boys.
-
I believe that the inclusion of two ex-all australian players and Rogers is a good thing, I know that others deserve a go too, but these guys realise that their playing for their future and its sink or swim time. There's no doubting Kellaways hardness and Blumfields class, ive followed Rogers closely this year and throughout his setbacks I have to say Ive never seem a guy do so much extra conditoning and training as I have seem Rogers do this year. If all fails at least we know Spud's exhausted all options!
-

Lmaooo - expect Dunc to take one in the back pocket for the team.
And Mathew Rogered will be touching his toes all game to losen up the tight hammies he's experienced.
-
I truly wish these 3 the best of luck on Sunday.
Please forgive me for my negaivity but they've done Jack to prove
their worth in the VFL so what makes u think they'll
be able to come up with the goods in the ones.
-
God help us if these guys play well on sunday, you will never hear the end of it and the devoted fan will come out and say there is nothing wrong with the team as it is. ::)
-
Ox - kind sentiments but not warranted.
They are over the hill and we are a complete shambles in even naming them.
Danny Frawley deserves everything that's coming to him come year end and I for one won't feel an ounce of sympathy for him.
He knows he is going down and it appears he is doing all he can to play his mates at the detriment of the development of the club. For that I hope he never gets another gig elsewhere and rots at his farm.
Lmaoo @ me having mixed emotions regarding playing the duds and wanting to lose in order to get draft picks and me wanting kids coming through and being competitive and to win. This club has given me a split personality disorder.
-
Wont it be a comedy festival if they do play well Punt !
LMAO@All those things being said.
Harry,totally share your personality disordercand also blame the club ;D

This is the listed Couburg team in today's (Fridays) H/Sun. Make you wonder who's going to play seniors on Sunday.
Good news is we will know on Saturday afternoon :-\
-
Ox,
Do we have a case for emotional and mental damage from the club.
Maybe we can ask our resident legal representative JohnF.
JohnF in the court room - "Your honour, my clients have endured endless years of mental anguish and torture at the hands of the accused - the RFC. Prior to their serious involvement and attachment to the accused, my clients were decent, loving law abiding citizens. Now, your honor, hey have become mentally deranged, forsaken, and need 24 hour supervision. It is clearly more than just a mere coincidence, your honour. It is clearly a case of direct corelation betwen the stupid, irresponsible, and bemusing actions of the accused and the mental deterioration of my clients."
-
Rollin Harry. ;D ;D
Mate, we have enough evidence to take out a class action against the the whole AFL.
-
Greg Hutchison on the radio this morning said Duncan was a certainity to play. KB asked him if the 4 named inclusions were to add some hardness to the side to which Greg replied that they were included to add "experience" to help out the youngsters.
Notice Hilton, Pettifer and Hartigan are named in the Coburg line-up above. How Chaffey's "form" this year is still being "rewarded" 12 weeks into the season is mindboggling. Mind you the past few weeks he has some mates in that department. :-\.
-
Jackson is listed on the bench. Wonder if he is gonna play ?

How can it be "helping" these youngster watching under- performing "experienced" senior players getting games week after week at the said youngsters expense?
Seriously, if they want "hardness" they shouldn't drop Hartigan. Despite having spent most of the last few weeks on the bench - "hardness at the footy" is one thing this kid has - never takes a backward step.
Perhaps it is a conspiracy? Maybe the thought of the kid gettng a "Rising Star" nomination is too much for the Club to bear :o
-
Don't ask me WP how it helps our young players when they'll be regularly seeing on Sunday helicopter kicks and hot-potato handgrenade handballs from these senior blokes. Hey I only watch the team each and every week :P.
Don't believe it's a conspiracy. At least a conspiracy would mean they have a plan. I think we can definitely count that out just based on that. The lights are on in the coaches committee room but nobody's home! You've just got to feel for our young players the way most are yo-yoed when it comes to team selections. How they're meant to develop into top footballers screwed around like that god only knows :'(.
-
My sournces tell me that Richo felt a "twinge" in his hamstring and is being rested this weekend.
Looks like an uphill battle from here!
-
You're right WP,It's a poor,poor decision to play DK and Rodgered over young Hartigan.
Purely a decision made by a fool for a fool and as such is only further exposing
the stupidity of our coach and coaches.
These guys should never be allowed to work at pro level ever again.
The shame they have brought on our club is symbolic of their lack of knowledge
and IQ in general.

It's almost at the point where you'd consider going to watch Coburg over Richmond.
I'm not even gonna attempt to try and work out what they're doing. :P >:( ::) If you can work it out MT, feel free to let the rest of us know.
-
In so far as playing full games and being in a winning environment counts for anything, I suppose its good that the young blokes are kept away from the seniors. Then again, having the youngsters around the likes of Adam Houlihan and Billy Nicholls isn't any better.
lmfaooooo@being damned if we do and damned if we don't.
lmfaooooooo@our split personalities being in full effect, with Richmond supporters taking Richmond to court in a class action, winning the class action and sending the RFC bankrupt, and then the Richmond supporters rattling tins to keep the RFC afloat, then taking out another class action, suing the club again, the club going under, the supporters rattling tins again etc.
lmfaoooooo@battered Richmond supporter syndrome.

Frawley is banking on experience to get a more consistent four-quarter performance against the Dockers tomorrow, welcoming the return of former Essendon premiership player Justin Blumfield and club stalwart Duncan Kellaway.
"Those guys were always going to play when they were right to play and this week was the perfect opportunity to bring them back in," Frawley said.
Blumfield and Kellaway have not played this season.

Who does Tuck have to do to get a game????????

Who does Tuck have to do to get a game????????
Change his name by deed poll to Duncan Kellaway ;D
Seriously every time I've seen him for Coburg he has impressed and been in their best players. How he continues to be overlooked while some senior blokes at Richmond appear above demotion no matter how many games in a row they fail in is unbelievable.
Did anyone else see tonight Leigh Mathews put faith in a third gamer to run with Hird? Something that's guaranteed never to happen at Richmond under the current regime.
-
Mightytiges, you are correct. ;)
Keep on playing Fiora and they wont give Tuck a go >:(
-
Tuck in chaffey out for mine Jackstar. Would be a simple swap as well as both can play the same role. In fact Tuck seems more versatile moving into the midfield and up forward.
