Read more of my posts. I said seems because that's what I think it seems like. I'd much prefer a Williamson or Sheehan to come in down back and some more run through the midfield as well. I stated before it wouldn't have changed the result.
Unfortunately I have to agree with these comments

I really thought it would be strength on Thursday but it was as bad an effort as I have seen from us under Bolton

Marchbank a great pick up IMO, will make a key defender for the next 10 years.
Loving all our additions TBH, I think our future is bright after the next couple of years of pain.

Murphy/Gibbs/Cripps/E.Curnow and despite a great game played Kreuzer could not contain a 4 quarter pressure act delivered by Richmonds midfield and a raging bull performance by Dustbin Martin. Someone had to step up and run with Martin he made Richmond look 6 goals better than they are.
Tuohy out just means more pressure on Docherty and Simpson's kicking ability - or lack thereof. Docherty at least has some size - but he reminds me of Buckley with ball in hand all full speed and not much brain behind it. I hope I'm wrong and this was just a bad game - but both Docherty and Simpson along with White - allowed Richmond to play a full press all game and get away with it. We were strangled by teh fact that we couldnt get the ball out of our half of the ground for very extended periods - and this is because too many in our backline are very ordinary and suspect kicks.
Despite all the bad stuff - one thing became pretty clear- with Weitering up front along with SOJ at least these two know where and when to run to - and the side actually kicked a decent enough score - despite no midfield help - good signs.
Gibbs will be living and playing for the Crows next season. Ill be very surprised if that didn't happen.
It's possible but if he was to stick around he could easily be part of a contending side in the 2020s

again....
Yep. I see what your saying.
I think we may be able to do a "decent" deal for him now !!. We've had for nearly 10 years now and we know what we've got. He's also viewed at being at his "peak" in terms of age. If the crows do a decent deal for us..I think it would serve us better if he didn't stick around.
saying that..this probably belongs in another thread.
Indeed.
SOS will be sniffing around for his best trade currency again and that'll most likely come from a Gibbs trade or Kreuzer FA compo.

You said this
That's all I'm responding to. I disagree with the idea that it was the small forwards that were the main factor - I think that their mids had far too much easy ball which in turn gave Richmond's entire forward line (bar Griffiths) an armchair ride.
Yep..Which makes for a perfect landscape for SOS & co to do the deal. This time they'll need to get it done or be the laughing stock in their home state and across the football world. What took place last year was pathetic form from the Crows. Loved...how SOS took care of it...
Just for the sake of total clarity ...I dont dislike the way Gibbs plays the game. I just think we need to start thinking next generation...Build..Build Build...

The Crows will offer us less then last year for Gibbs and we'll probably take it, then everyone will laugh at us saying we should've trade him last year.

no
Hes contracted. A shit deal from the Crows means he stays exactly where he is. Or he commutes.

I can't trot down the ****ing street anymore............Bieber thinks he has it bad............
Pretty sure Doc took the bulk of the kick outs last year. Mainly kicked to no one.
Would be difficult to make a worse offer than they did last year.

I actually want him as a midfielder who supports the defence, maybe sending him deep if we really need speed to help corral some counter-attacking threats from the opposition.
I think his work around the stoppage, and taking the footy from wing to F50 is underrated. He blazes the odd kick trying to make 50 metre passes and 60 m shots at goal, but when he looks for the mid-range pass he regularly hits them. Also uses it very well by hand and doesn't seem to lose sight of the football in traffic.
If he was 6'3", you'd stick him in at the stoppage all day and not bat an eyelid. He should be supporting SPS & Murphy so that we've always got one of them managing defensive coverage.
Check out the downhill skiers for Richmond in the final quarter...
3 contested marks, two goals, and I'm guessing a whole host of pressure acts and a decent amount of hitouts to advantage, because his stats are otherwise shitful.
On the relative simple CD stats sheet on the AFL site, you'd think Kreuzer played the better game by a country mile, and that's how I saw it with my eyes as well.
We had 5 tall defenders (you can wax lyrical about height ranges, but Marchbank, White and Plowman don't play on quicker types), I was keener on dropping the number down to 3. That's pretty simple, as is my post in terms of language (if not length), which was covering about 25 pages of posts where people were talking about the same 5 points over the top of each other.How about we leave Macreadie in and drop White instead?
Life is easier when you keep it simple.
The problem with the volume in the match threads is that every 5 pages the discussion starts again. It's a by-product of success I suppose, but the nature of discourse has slowly sprawled out over time and now seems unwieldy to deal with. Is there somewhere I can go to make forum plugin suggestions to help?

Rowe is underrated. Everyone praises Kreuzer for his one percenters and then overlook all of Rowe's.
