Autopsy Rd 7 ANZAC eve roast and toast changes for Freo

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

Absolute corruption. Change my mind.

Coinciding with them have beaten us in the last 4 Anzac eve games.

 

[TigerImposter]

Hope we don't rush balta or short back

every injured player needs to come through the VFL on light duties as i'm over them being rushed on almost full game time as the injuries seem to rehappen. This implies they haven't reached full strength to match day conditions.

Ralphsmith was heaps better off the wing than Maca last night. Glad that move has finally been made. From VFL form sonsie can come in to the midfield, Ryan can come in for Naismith and one of the smalls can come in for Campbell.

 

[Hoos]

Would meehan be the one applying tape though?

He's in charge of them isn't he? It's just as bad as bringing injured players back out on the ground. Ross' stress fracture is down to the conditioning team too.

And I forgot about bringing players back into the side with no match conditioning in the VFL. That's on him too.

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

Shemons needed a injury ravaged side
And umpire blowing to beat us
We are nowhere near a bottom 3 side
With a healthy list and not getting ****rd over by umpires .

 

[Hoos]

What about poor old Cumbo?

Still a spot for him as a medium forward. Just as long as we get another 5-6 injuries and we have to play him.

 

[Vassp]

hugo was great last night, a lot of the kids are starting to come up to speed.
We just needed some more class and polish, but it will get there.

Gale is the AFL's lap dog, I have said it for years. I'm always going to be grateful for what Gale did dot the club but it's extremely obvious that Gale will never say anything detremental towards the AFL Cabal. It gives me the shits that he is so tight lipped while we are all seeing the cheating unfold before us. If we wait for Gale to stand up and grow a set of balls the club will be on it's knees.

Surely an ex umpire will comeout and confirm that the afl have it in for us.

they sign a 250 pages thick form before becoming an afl umpire

ive seen it

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Unfortunately he isn't helping the club's current and future state if he continues to remain silent about the afl bias. Eventually players won't be interested in playing at rfc.

LOL

 

[THE THIN MAN]

All I want is consistent umpiring, if the free is there then call it.

Whatever happened to the fundamentals like incorrect disposal, holding the ball and push in the back?

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

how many membere we loose of louies there again next year ?

None.
Huge Greek community

 

[beema limapep]

 

[Rubber Hips]

In Sonsie, Green, Cumbo, Ryan

Out Naismith, Banks, Hopper injured, Kmac

Swap Coulthard for Green

Only when it suits the corrupt bastard's agenda. The way it is now allows the cheats to control the momentum of the game.

I can't see any other reason for it.

medical team did a great job with hoppers tape

you can tell they are experience

 

[smurfin]

If you watch VFL, it was perfectly obvious that Naismith is a decent player - but not a forward. Fair enough for him playing AFL as support for Nank, especially against Gawn, but neither of them are ruck/forwards. They are ruck or bench or filling a hole a kick behind play.
Given that they plonked Naismith forward for most of the game they are better off using Ryan.

Great seeing MRJ and Hugo breaking out. I'll admit Hugo surprised me.
I'm happy that they have persisted in playing Dow. He'll have good and bad games but he'll develop better in the AFL.

When it comes to match selection, some of our younger players will be getting better development opportunities in the VFL rather than AFL. Steely Green, Seth Campbell, Kaleb Smith, McAuliffe, Coulthard and probably Sam Banks. If possible they should all be given small blocks of AFL games then concentrate on developing their craft in the VFL.

Cumberland and Ryan should be in the same category as Ralphsmith, Dow, Sonsie where it is time for them all to develop in the AFL and show whether they are up to it or not.

When the teams are made so close through competative balance redistribution, rule changes, draft concessions (etc.), in theory the umpires play a bigger role on the day.

 

[Rubber Hips]

Do you know if it is the same injury?

No but the point I’m making is that whilst he may have demonstrated he was over the injury, it’s more about match fitness and getting his body up to speed with being thrown into the heat …

Reckon a game in the vfl first would have been a better option…

 

[Grrr]

Ryan has been playing decent footy and Kozi responded well to being dropped as did Sonsie

Wouldn’t even consider bringing in Cumbo until he actually has a block of consist half decent games at vfl level
So far this year he’s been so poor giving him the nod would be a massive mistake and sending the wrong message

Green might be a decent option as well before Sonsie

Cumberland hasn't been poor, just not that good. His pressure and tackling is good, had maybe 8 tackles yesterday, just not as dangerous as we have seen him. Some of his opportunity has been taken up by Ryan, Kosi, May all tall forwards leaving him roving rather than going for his marks, which was one of his stronger attributes. That would be team instruction. The small grounds make it hard for small forwards.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

hopper smelt greatness in the 2019 granny

what has carltoon smelt ?

 

[Groupie_]

the competitive balancing mechanism will result in the max exodus of afl fans if most clubs are eventually touched by it

weve lost millions of dollars already from Richmond supporters becoming alienated from the sport because of the afl's actions after our dynasty

 

[beema limapep]

Why did the boundary umpire have his leg forward of the line when the ball was coming at him, at such a crucial time of the game?
