Game Day Round 23 vs. Brisbane, MCG, 4:35pm Saturday 17/08

[Bianconeri]

Richards out… yeah that will help us retain him

We have small forwards ahead of him. I suspect retaining Richards is a minor concern for the match selection committee.

 

[Jen2310]

Regardless whether he played the rest of year or not he’d be likely to ask for a trade.

Yeah, if port are offering more senior opportunity than we are giving him atm. Given his age, he'd unfortunately silly not to take it.

They don't rate him

 

[Kappa]

I remember when Richards was the next big thing

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

They don't rate him

Doubt they'd offer him a contract if they didn't rate him.

'COLLINGWOOD has tabled a contract offer to lively small forward Joe Richards, who is weighing interest from multiple clubs including Port Adelaide.'

 

[nahnah]

Do people realise Bytel is younger than Richards, you'd think Richards is 21 and Bytel is 27

 

[Finnishpie]

Well, good to see Parker get a run. Apart from that, not much to look forward to.

They’re basically the same age….

 

[Finnishpie]

And didn’t he shadow Gulden last week?

Until he handed over to Quaynor….

Richards can play multiple roles.

And when the club finishes outside of the 8 with several players over 30…

I think the match committee need to plan for the future as much as win the dead rubber game

 

[pablo disco bar]

Clearly they are trading Richards

In the future maybe, atm he’s been played exclusively as a small forward.

Perhaps Richards will net us the suitable currency to help rebuild an ageing list.

 

[Brad Goodman]

Richards and Harrison are both handy, but also both on the fringe of the 22 when we have a mostly fit list.

Parker in, Richards out - didn't do enough in those 45 seconds

might have been the way he was sitting on the bench for the 1 hr 59 mins before-hand that didn't impress the coaches

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

I can't wait to get back to the G for a GF replay.

 

[No SPIN]

Need to make room for the up and coming talent

No good getting to round 23 next year, sitting outside the 8 and complaining that the club relies too much on the veterans still

Now is the time to put games in to the up and comers

I think an ordinary season in 2025 by RD 23, would have seen us give up and comers a go well before that point.

 

[sam_e]

Stiff after 45 seconds lol

prepare to be disappointed with such an ageing list

 

[No SPIN]

It’s possible Parker has come in to allow IQ to play more mid minutes as he did last week.
If so it’s a great move because IQ, was dynamic in moments playing mid.

IQ trained on the wing today

It really is a joke

Gets a few minutes during Sydney’s avalanche then gets dropped
Worse than reefs treatment

Hope plays full game and not is the Sub

 

[Stronzatello]

Richards gets 47 seconds, dropped. Schultz puts in 4 stinker quarters, similar to what he’s done all year and survives!! Why wouldn’t we play some kids the last few weeks to see what they can do?

Wheres Allan also ?

HH has the advantage of being 20 years old - he'll be a good 'un for us.

100% agree. Ridiculous.
