Opinion Changes v Richmond

[Willsy10]

Hayes hasn’t exactly been dominating though has he?

We got absolutely destroyed against Essendon in the centre square. I think hayes started reasonably well in his first few games but has tired, it’s been tough on him shouldering the load and he has done relatively well and it probably is bit harsh if it is in fact an omission but it also shouldn’t come as a complete surprise.

We must be the only side that is satisfied in dropping a ruckman against a hardened ruckman.

who drops their ruckman?

geniuses these blokes..

our midfield is average at best and now we expect to win clearanc3s with a forward as ruck. First bounce Nank will physically hurt finlayson.

tigers by 50 +

It's not losing Hayes in isolation thats the problem, it's abandoning all structure and leaving Georgiades in the twos whilst bringing a player into a position that we don't need.

in his prime.

Would have played Teakle if we thought he could run out the game his WAFL form would have him in our lineup already and the only instructions he needs is keep it away from Dusty.

 

[Windy Cindy]

love to know who is the last side to play without a ruckman.

they are taking the piss

ya don’t reckon Hardwick will use this as motivation to nankervis.

**** I hate this bloke.

 

[snozulu]

This just shows how the club is run at the top. Not even surprised they do these things. They will all fall on their swords soon enough.

[Palpatine_Power]

We’re getting a bath. Joke selections

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

I legitimately want us to lose.

 

[Lefti93]

There is no justification for dropping a young ruckman 7 games into his career because he got taught a bit of a lesson against two more experienced ruckmen with bigger bodies the game before. guess what, he probably should've never been asked to ruck alone in the first place anyways....................... Genius.

 

[PowerBaz]

Maybe Hayes was too strong to be ‘Kennyfied’ so he’s being taught a lesson.

 

[PortWTF]

If we have to continually score from our back half we will get pantsed.

 

[gbear]

I legitimately want us to lose.

If it means one week closer to Stinkley and co. Being gone me too.

 

[glitch01]

Must say it is quite pleasing to see the return of the weekly melt.

Lately it's been more of an air of quiet resignation.

Good to see our coaching genius is still able to motivate us......

 

[Lefti93]

You know how local footy clubs get donations for every goal kicked in some games of AFL. I'd happily donate some money for every goal Richmond kick to a GoFundMe account to pay out the remainder of Ken's contract.

That is reason to bring in another ruckman to share responsibility rather than remove him.
If the tigers are going in with 2 bigs it makes even more sense

 

[Schulzenfest]

It's absolutely sick that because David Koch is a useless, cowardly campaigner of a man, we're in a situation where a long proven bad coach is making decisions that will hurt us in the long term in a panicked attempt to save his job.

Don't worry about the long term, the decision will hurt us this week as well. This isn't just Hinkley knowingly acting in self interest even though he knows it's not a good result for the club. He probably thinks this is a great move for the club. He's just a bad coach.

I've been there since rd 2...

 

[Andy_B]

he genuinely thinks hes out smarting everyone. breathtaking.

the over-under on goaless qtrs for us has to be at least 1.5, and im still taking the over

 

[Jakksynn]

didn’t Ken say in his presser today that Hayes has been sick all week hence not travelling with the team? Not much we can do there but flat out not replacing our ruckman is ludicrous

 

[Coobk001]

If Hayes is sick then not much you can do. However surely the obvious call is Dixon to ruck, Georgiadies to replace Hayes.

To go another small seems stupid.

Lord and Visentini aren't ready unless you're tanking, so were never happening.

 

[Powerade 08]

At the bye they said Duursma, Mead, etc are 'not ready' for AFL. Next game, Lachie Jones IN.

duck I hate this bloke.

Geelong two and three weeks ago. They split ruck duties between key defenders and a tall wingman. They smashed Port in the midfield.
