Didn’t we do the same thing playing vs contract last year with Macrae (although I think Richards has already shown signs of being a better player).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.'
Joe has definitely shown more glimpses of AFL traits than Fin so far. I'm hoping Fin just needs another good uninterrupted pre-season. I don't want to lose him, Joe or Reef.Didn’t we do the same thing playing vs contract last year with Macrae (although I think Richards has already shown signs of being a better player).
Atm no where suits his main attributes. The wing at least frees him to play more attacking minded.The wing suits none of IQ’s main attributes as a player

Speed, agility, aggression, 1v1 excellence, and penetrating kicking are not attributes useful in a wingman?The wing suits none of IQ’s main attributes as a player

You're very forgiving EM - Fin should be on the trade/delist page. He's had ample opportunities and shown little at the top level. Sad but true.Joe has definitely shown more glimpses of AFL traits than Fin so far. I'm hoping Fin just needs another good uninterrupted pre-season. I don't want to lose him, Joe or Reef.
My head says you're right, but my heart says give him one more pre-season. Imagine if he was a slow burn & next year was his year to blossom & we had given up on himYou're very forgiving EM - Fin should be on the trade/delist page.

Plus we'd get bugger all for him in a trade.My head says you're right, but my heart says give him one more pre-season. Imagine if he was a slow burn & next year was his year to blossom & we had given up on him
He's got a contract for next year, ..not sure what another club would offer for him.
Exactly. May as well keep him & keep our fingers crossed for next year.Plus we'd get bugger all for him in a trade.
Like Reef. Would be worth more to us than what we'd get. At least he is contracted, so we clearly want him. I think we just want him to improve his game to go to the next level. Which I hope another pre-season will help with. Needs to get stronger.Exactly. May as well keep him & keep our fingers crossed for next year.

Side topic- your mum getting excited about the Lions?Joe has definitely shown more glimpses of AFL traits than Fin so far. I'm hoping Fin just needs another good uninterrupted pre-season. I don't want to lose him, Joe or Reef.
I actually think Fin has shown a few AFL qualities this season in spurts. His next challenge is to go beyond that and find more consistency over 4 quarters. But there is enough there to persist. Fly said they are encouraging him to keep improving areas of his game, as they are looking at ways to get him to be a regular afl player.He’s shown a bit. Kicked 3 goals one game. Hasn’t set the world on fire it’s true. Some poor games too. I’d be more worried about losing Reef, but I’d definitely keep Finn. Especially since we’ll lose 4 of our top 6 mids in the next year or so.
Credit to Fin as it would seem from the outside that he’s not dropped his bundle and goes back to the twos and works hard on getting better. Perserverence and good work ethic are AFL traits just hope it all clicks on field next year.I actually think Fin has shown a few AFL qualities this season in spurts.

He is not a ball winner or play readerSpeed, agility, aggression, 1v1 excellence, and penetrating kicking are not attributes useful in a wingman?
Same.Like Reef. Would be worth more to us than what we'd get. At least he is contracted, so we clearly want him. I think we just want him to improve his game to go to the next level. Which I hope another pre-season will help with. Needs to get stronger.
Reef there is a lot of potential. I would have given him a contract before some others.
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?
It really is a joke
Gets a few minutes during Sydney’s avalanche then gets dropped
Worse than reefs treatment
As someone famously said , get the selections right and I will shut up !I don’t see the joke. If Richards has been dropped, it’s because the coaches have selected what they think is the best available team to win. They haven’t dropped Richards because they want us to lose!
One of the lowlights of this season on BF has been the constant criticism of team selections.
He’s outstanding at ground balls.He is not a ball winner or play reader
His main ability is a defender who sticks to his opponent like a trailer and can win one on ones. And plays talller than his height defensively
