I think you're a bit harsh on Rance, barnzy. He kept robbo to nothing and didn't butcher it like most. You're right about Tuck and Coughlan though. Although Cogs got alot of it his disposal in the 2nd half was not up to VFL standard.

Bowden, Shultz, Hughes and Raines are all finished. Some of Sarge's efforts today were insipid and there is no way he is worthy of another year. Same goes for Raines. I had high hopes for him at the beginning of 09 but his disposal and decision making continues to let him down.

Polly and Rance the only positives today.

Yeah thats it Coke. I'm just happy the guy is fit and healthy, the way he's playing is a massive bonus. I thought he was gone mid year but he is improving every week.
 
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

Why are you not happy? Are you of relation? FWIW, he probably will be retained on the rookie list.
 
Rance was average but one of the best which says something. Tuck only got into the bests because of his name, he was very ordinary. Coughlan looks finished as a player.

Works both ways, would be getting far more credit from blokes like yourself if it wasn't for his name. He was great in the 2nd half, if Thomson had the game Tuck did today people would be begging for him to get a game in the seniors.

Think Schulz was a touch unlucky. IIRC he took two nice marks well within distance of a score only for a teammate to give a free away. Still had a poor game though.
 
if he breaks into the team this year and brings the form into next seaon he will be very handy up forward or the loose man down back.

Rawlings apparently gives an interview on the Sunday footy show today where he pretty much says Polak wont be at Richmond next year. At least that what Hutchy said on The Footy show and he did the interview.
 
my goodness, we really do need another 15 players turned over on our list again...

Johnson
Petts
Connors
JON
Simmo
Raines
Hughes
Schulz
Thomson
Bowden
King
McMahon
Polly
Cogs
Brown

all these blokes could easily be off our list next year - where the hell did we go this bad to end up in this situation again after just 5 years?????

That lot are a lot better than the lot 5 years ago, eg Weller, Fletcher, Houlihan, Hilton etc. It's just our positioning now. If we were in a different position in terms of team development, Brown, McMahon, Hughes, Bowden and Connors at least would be handy additions and would surely be retained. We may even be allowed the luxury of keeping on Cogs and Polly. But unfortunately that's not the case.

Johnson - retired
Petts - delisted
Connors - 1 more year
JON - traded/delisted
Simmo - retired
Raines - fighting for the same spot as king and mcmahon
Hughes - trade/delisted , would have to have a massive month to be kept
Schulz - delisted
Thomson - 1 more year (has been playing injured/unfit all year)
Bowden - retired
King - fighting for spot with raines and mcmahon
McMahon - fighting for spot with king and mcmahon
Polly - 50/50
Cogs - 50/50
Brown - 50/50

Above is my assessment on the players.

King, Raines and McMahon- Only 2 of the 3 will be kept, if that.

Brown showed a bit yesterday, im still not happy with the fact he has been treated better then Bowden.
