Welcome everyone to One-Eyed Richmond's Tiger Forum Cheers from mightytiges and WilliamPowell.
Which brings me to our list.... my orginal thoughts were 7-9 changes, now I'd be looking at 10-12I would hope that yesterday also turns out to be a farewell games for a couple of others

All Malthouse had to do was push Didak forward and Kingy was no match. While Richmond believes Kingy types belong on our list then we remain a bottom side. He should have been lucky to survive last year yet the Club gives him a 2-year contract ??? and then he spent 10 weeks in the VFL this year until Rawlings brought him back as part of playing the whole list. At 25 if you're not a certain best 22 AFL standard footballer then it should be good-bye. Playing one or two decent games a year doesn't cut it. Kingy not the only one in that boat mind you. Craig Cameron has some big list decisions coming up to prove his worth. If he repeats the list management stuff ups of October/November last year then he should go as well. King had a complete ankle reconstruction over the preseason, it's not surprising that he took some time getting back into the senior sideI agree he's not part of a premiership side, however theres definitely a spot on the list for him next season, he's been the only player other than Richo & Cousins who doesn't stop trying all gameBut Richo and Cousins back up trying their all with A-grade AFL talent over their entire career. That's why they have been champions. Kingy is VFL standard and was before his ankle injury. We don't need VFL triers taking up spots on our list. They are simple list cloggers. Now you're right Infamy that Kingy will most likely get a spot on our list in 2010 but only because he's contracted . However if another club was interested in him I would trade him.

Funny that King's disposal efficiency was by far the best of the entire side against the PiesOnly had one ineffective
I know nothing about football, nothing what soever.
Yes, I am stupid.
Not every player can be as good as Richo & Cousins, it would be nice if all our players were. I really don't understand some of what can only be called hatred towards King. He may not be the most skilled player out there but he busts his ass out there for the RFC and I think its sad that people still have him at the top of their lists to get rid of. He's shown something as a tagger since mid-season, to the point now that there are easily 10 players that need to go before he does.
he does need to control his aggression somewhat.There are a few Robbie Muir's out there still Tribunal will make a example out of him this week.
Not sure how, theres no footage of the incident, he was the one getting mauled by multiple pies players in the melee tooTheres footage of Didak hitting King in the back though, if all King did was punch Didak in the guts and theres no footage then he wont get much

At the time I posted the comment there hadn't been any shownThe only vision was pretty blurry and distant, given Didak's history of faking, its inconclusive
I've seen the same footage, at the time of my original post there was noneYou're exagerating a little too, it was enough to suspend him, however the vision is still inconclusiveDidak was felled, but that's it
There is not much genuine quality on the list at the moment to get too excited about 2010.CousinsCotchinDeledioFoleyTamblingOld man RichoThats about it....I hope Jack can make the quantum leap his cousin did in his 4th year and kick 50+ goals.Vickery and Post might be stars come 2012
