Re: Richmond Vs. GCS - Team Discussion
Goo... on the day that he played against Melbourne everyone was calling for his head, and rightfully should be as he is absolutely useless. Now that he isn't playing you want him in.
Tuck, Morton, Farmer are emergencies. All in the top 5 in the Coburg win. Good job, selection team.
What's wrong with White coming in? He might not provide anything in terms of absolute excellent disposal but he does provide things defensively. Did you not see Dustin Martin kick the ball to the opposition against Melbourne/Essendon???
Wow, bloody overated Post and Goo are. Did you not see the game against Essendon last week?? I was at the game last week and Post had 2 shots at goal from 45m and he couldn't even make the distance. Didn't even provide much, him and Hislop only had 11 possessions.

Re: Richmond Vs. GCS - Team Discussion
Agree with most of delediofan3 and RT's thoughts.
We've decided we have to play a ruckman.
The ruckman we prefer to play is Browne.
We have to drop someone to play the ruckman.
We need to move Vick back forward to accommodate the ruckman.
To accommodate Vick we need to remove a tall forward.
Who do we remove, Jack/Griff/Post?
We remove Post.
And to the guys saying what about Thursty and McG. They are obviously very defensive defenders with not a lot of upside, but without them the goals will rain down more than they do so already. Post is not capable of playing a defensive role.
He has shown glimpses up forward but at this stage we actually have a number of young guys with alot of potential that are above him in the pecking order. I can only hope he goes back to Coburg and lines up at FF/CHF. When Vick turns into our number one ruck Post can slot straight in.

Re: Richmond Vs. GCS - Team Discussion
Off to take a peek at the tiges going thru their hit out very soon.
weather is warmish and overcast now, around 25C. but starting to cool down a bit mid arvo as it does in the tropics.
PRETTY SURE conditions will be superb for footy 2morro and a DRY track and slight breeze looks almost a certainty. Expecting us to be a 12-15 goal better side than the Darwin debarcle.

Re: Richmond Vs. GCS - Team Discussion
Solid reasoning, you are correct - but it doesn't mean we have to be happy about it.
I would have preferred Graham over Browne, and to be honest my real preference would be to leave it as it was last week. I would like a bit more of a look at Vicks as the primary ruck.

Re: Richmond Vs. GCS - Team Discussion
What kind of sick bastards would make Tuck first emergency five weeks in a row? If they don't want to play him, don't play him - why do this to him on a weekly basis?
I've watched this club do some outrageous things to itself and its players over the years, but this one is right up there - like they're doing their utmost to rub his nose in it, and for what gain, to him or the club? If it were any other facet of life, we'd be questioning the match committee's competence and asking why they're acting in such a ridiculous, childish manner towards a player who has always been a tremendous club servant.
Regardless of whether or not people think Tuck should play again, I can't see how anyone could argue that this current situation is defensible or say that it isn't reflecting poorly on the club.

Re: Richmond Vs. GCS - Team Discussion
Browne in?
We are 17th in the league for almost every stat to do with centre bounces, yet Tucky stays at Coburg. I understand we want to develop our young mids, but their bodies are probably taking its toll being our number 1 mids.

Re: Richmond Vs. GCS - Team Discussion
Tuck in for Grigg. Will be Final Changes.
Browne has no endurance what-so-ever. He'll be smashed by Zac Smith with the conditions tomorrow.

Re: Richmond Vs. GCS - Team Discussion
Gold Coast have been pretty good around the clearances and Centre Breaks, but everytime they take it forward, it comes back just as fast. Not a lot of forward structure. Suspect Lids will have a good game rebounding from half-back, similar to the Brisbane game.

Re: Richmond Vs. GCS - Team Discussion
Just because a player is named first emergency doesn't mean they come in first bro. If it hasn't clcked for you yet that Tuck is out of favour with the match committee then you aren't likely to enjoy the next few weeks either
Obviously Hardwick doesn't rate Tucks use of the pill and would prefer guys who get it less but use it better. Sure Tuck wins the hard ball but she goes anywhere when he attempts to put it anywhere near his foot.

Re: Richmond Vs. GCS - Team Discussion
Strangely enough, I don't know any non-Richmond supporters who think anything of it. They all either don't really rate him, or figure he's too old.
I wonder if he's named as emg just in case one of our top line mids have to pull out - Cotch, Dusty, Axel, Jacko, Lids, etc. Not really sure though.

Re: Richmond Vs. GCS - Team Discussion
). I reckon Barnzy has been critical of team selection pretty much every week, apart from the odd week that jade the blade was in charge and maybe 1 week in 10 for Hardwick. A constant theme is promoting players 23 or under at the expense of older players. And for where Richmond is now it is hard to argue with that approach.
However, generally speaking when it comes to the development of our talls - rucks kpps - I'm going to have a bit of faith in our coaching panel, (despite the fact that I am pissed off at us having dropped just 3 players following our last 2 pathetic efforts). Leppa and Lade have played enough successful elite footy to know their stuff and together with Dimma can be trusted.
In this particular case, Post has been steadily improving despite what does appear on the surface to be shabby treatment. We'll never know the full story of what he (or Gourdis) are being told they need to work on and where they fit in our longer term plans - or McGuane or Thursfield for that matter. But we'll have great fun dissecting team selection each week - always good for at least 100 odd posts on BF.
Of those 4 I expect Thursfield will be elsewhere in 2012, McGuane I'd love to think would be traded, but I suspect our coaches see something in him (probably his spirit and toughness ala King) that will see him around Tigerland for a few more seasons at least. And I'm seriously hoping that Gourdis and Post get plenty of opportunity in next 7 matches to show clearly one way or another whether they have a future at Punt Rd.

Re: Richmond Vs. GCS - Team Discussion
No one cares what you think...
And get it right...no one has whined or sooked ala about Tuckys non-selection...
In fact they have championed and reasoned for his recall and inclusion in the tigers side...
And going by the teams current performance on the field...have every right to do so...

Re: Richmond Vs. GCS - Team Discussion
Connors got injured (quad) in round 2 against the Hawks and then re injured it in his return at Coburg in round 4 and he has been out with a persistent quad injury ever since
He is supposed to be playing this week at Coburg he could have played last week but they decided to take an extra week.
