Re: Simon White (Rookie)
Whitey is a top young man comes from a good football background, father Peter was a 200 game player captain and coach of top sunday league club Osborne Park.
Interestingly Simon was a very good midfielder as a juinior, grew 7 inches between 16 and 18 took a while to get...
Re: Polak, Pattison Delisted Among Others
Pathetic post, these boys have busted their arse for years for your club, more likley RFC have wrecked their careers then the other way round.
Gourdis kicked 5 in the first half absolutely dominated the 2nd qtr, led for a past 5 min into the 3rd, the ball caught the wind, he really motored to take the mark, did his hammy in the last stride, out for the year. not happy
Great debut better then Watts, Vickery and Natanui, good 1%ers good commitment, looked very confident, have watched him at Coburg very impressive, top draft pickup, future of the club, and agree get Gourdis and Putt out there for at least 3 games this year.
From watching 2 games Butcher has played and dont want to be unkind to any young player if he is a top 5 draft pick this is the weakest draft ever, which it proberbly is anyway, certainley would'nt be looking to him to be any kind of short or long term answer at CHF
This oval can be a nitemare the longer you hang on to the ball the more you turn it over, must dispose of it quickley, must play in front into the wind and behind with it, if coburg are trying to play possession footy they'll get smashed
Silvester is in his last rookie year, must be delisted or promoted end of 2009, he has been the premier defender in the VFL past 2 years, with Rance out for 4 weeks, Moore carring, a shoulder and Thursfield down on form would be a good time for him to take Richo's place on the senior list he...
One point from sundays game, 6 or 7 goals kicked from around the corner snaps by forwards drifting into space in pockets ( clever and deliberate goals ..yes ) a couple of soft leads by Brown, Jack (very clever in the air) and Hughes, but only Richo led hard and hit the ball or packs at speed...
Would love to see Ben play again as much as anyone but Richmond supporters need to consider the negatives, remember he will be on a 100% NO tolerence contract ON ANY ISSUE any hic up will result in instant suspension, with Polak on the LTI list you would be 2 senior players down, these...
Re: Collingwood and Freo say no to Polak on Rookie List
Dont think it was a mistake, looks like it was planned that way and for all the right reasons and they can still lose him at PSD 1,2,3,4,5
Re: Collingwood and Freo say no to Polak on Rookie List
If that is the case it would appear Gourdis was the player who took the hit for Polak, proberbley seen as the player most under the radar that they could redraft early, his delisting didnt make any sense at the time, once again if that is...
Re: Collingwood and Freo say no to Polak on Rookie List
Maybe to many people are reading this all wrong, Richmond left Polak a listed player, let him return and do a pre season without the extra stress of being moved off the main list , 3 months on and it is now apparent he wont be playing for...
If you have a brain bigger than a pea you will understand what the club has done and why, Gourdis was never going anywhere, sometimes players take a punch for each other, think about it.
Only Rich and Hartlett have the poise, strength and skills to play 1st round and have any REAL IMPACT next year. Ballentyne has the experience and will play sometime in 2009. Don't expect to see Watts or Natinui next year, they will be given plenty of time to develop, Hurley may get a run late...
One of the moderators on Punt Road End who has seen the Richmond draft sheets from last year posted that Gourdis was one of 4 players in the round 2 bracket and could have gone at 18 if Rance had already been taken, if that was the case we wouldnt be writing on this post, also interesting that...
Is a good fit for Sydney or most probably Fremantle who have backed themselves into a hole needing 8-10 players out of a physically soft draft they will have to find at least 4 mature bodied experienced 19-22 year olds capable of playing next year.
3 weeks for being the wrong place at the wrong time, Browne had every right to protect HIMSELF from the stumbling player, he didn't instigate any contact, how can a player be suspended for not making contact. Can not believe how logic has left football adjudication, typical of this poor quality...
Miller has or had 2 boys playing ressies at Coburg Matt Davis 6' 2 half back, wingman from Qld 18s 2007 carnival and Matt Vasileski 5' 11 half back, midfield, Vic metro 18s carnival 2006, GM loves or loved to put 'em down back and see if they've got any heart, Davis is a smooth mover for his...
WRONG..........
Rich remains the No 1 draft pick, will have instant impact into any midfield he goes, his ratio of hurt factor disposals is FAR greater then ANY draftee in recent years, as talented and highly promising as Watts and Natanui are it will be a brave club that sits back and...
The most embarrassing coverage in football history ridiculous no interest cameras, pathetic commentary and coach dribble for gods sake big brother meets afl football the f##kwit bean counters who run the afl just keep sticking it up our arse, channel ten shouldn't be given the rights to...
Richmond are desperate for a good start to the season and are and hoping to find the right combination against carlton thats why they havn't played the young guys, makes sense, shame for the boys not to get to wear their jumper.
