Me thinks Denis just saw the footage and decided 1+1= 3.

On a different angle the HUN have already got a bullshit story up about the melee and are indicating that Cousins was the one who started the fight. I hate the freaking paper more and more each day.

No it just says he was IN the fight ... "did not throw any punches.'

Stupid story...what next 'joe blow' buys a hotdog...or 'somebody someone' cares?
 
the bit about the "incident" in the fourth is total shite; simmonds and casey dude were having a bit of a tussle on the ground, cousins pulled off the casey guy and a casey player pulled simmonds away, and that was it.

that photo above wasn't even from the melee. that photo was taken in the 3rd quarter.

Cotchin was very good but often let down by the efforts of his team mates, he should be recalled next week pending tomorrows result.
 
Does anyone else find it starnge that all of our emergency listed players for the Swans game tomorrow were playing for Coburg today.
So would it be correct in saying that we wont have a backup if we need a late minute change ?

It's Richmond, by now you shouldn't expect any professionalism.
 
sounds like a few good performances from individuals - but the usual terrible team effort.

I think our "ins" should be based around who doesn't perform this week - and not around who played okay in a losing side in a 2nd rate competition.

no one should be a "definite" in next week IMO.
 
You have no idea Barnzy, you negative nancy.

That's common practice for every team that has a fit 22.

Pretty hard to be positive about Richmond in any aspect after performances like that when half the team is AFL listed players. You're the same person that would be calling for everyone's head if someone doesn't come up at the last minute and we have no one to replace them so they're forced to play injured.

I'll say again for you in bold, so you might listen.

It's standard practice for every team who has no player at risk of not coming up. That is most times no team keeps a player back.

Get it?
 
What a wank :rolleyes:

edwards, Pettifer and cousins and cotchin were in best form what I saw, having said that, it was a deplorable result..Coburg had over 1000 games of afl experience and never challenged once headed...says a fair bit for where alot of these blokes are at:eek: incidently was vickery playing, wouldnt have known he was out there

surely hughes needs to go to the coburg seniors, they really lacked a tall target up forward today. admittedly, the delivery wasn't great
 
not many positives, cousins was good before he got iced up, cotchin working hard and using it well every time he gets it.

other then that not much to be excited about.

thursfield has hardly been seen, dunno how hes going to get back into the side, he doesnt put in performances that make the coaches take notice.

vickery did a few good things early but not much since half time.

edwards has been not bad, his kicking still hasnt been too flash but he works hard and is a smart player.

connors is such a skillful player, just makes some stupid decisions and tries to do too much at times. love to see him taking on players though.

simmonds will most likely come back next week or the following week.

pettifier was not impressive for mine, his disposal was appauling and he makes ridiculous decisions.

hislop and thomson with the usual hard at it but poor disposal game, nothing special from either of them.

raines and putt were barely noticed.

schulz got a bit of it and did an ok job when the ball came near him in the foward 50.
have to say, watts was quality for the scorpions, melbourne have a future star.

totally agree. alot of people were impressed with his game, but not me. he did get alot of disposals, but alot were back in defence, cheap possessions. when he did take a mark, was way too slow to dispose of it. also bombed the ball aimlessly into F50 many times, waste.
 
just goes to show when you take a few players out from coburg that try there guts out every minute and replace them with guys that dont give a stuff, thats the result you will get.
 
I was at the game today and here are some of my observations.

1. Cuz was quite good. Ran well. Should come in next week. Just iced up after the game with some knocks.

2. Cotchin, this kid just oozes leadership. For an 18 yo old kid his body is like a mallee bull. His skills are nothing short of sensational. Can't wait to see him when he has a full pre season and is around 21 yo. Should be brought in soon.

3. Raines. Was utter crap today.
4. Pettifer was ok but not worth a promotion.
5. Simmonds. Not convinced he deserves a game in the seniors. His time is certainly up this year. For a bloke so well built he just doesn't do enough.
6. Vickery. Long long long way to go. Second half hardly sighted. Doesn't seem to be hard enough at the contests. Moves well though. Needs to be locked in the gym.
7. Dean putt. Another wasted pick.
8. Hislop/thompson were ok.
9. Thursfield. See Raines. A real worry.
10. I was next to the coburg dugout when the brawl started and let me tell you, Jake king is not the most gifted player but he has a real presence on the ground with his agression and never say die attitude. Started the blue and was in the thick of it. Cuz did not get too involved as the newspaper stated.
11. Schulz. Gee I dunno about this bloke. VFL is his niche. Just not big enough for FF.
12. Dan Connors. Tries to do the miraculous all the time. Needs to just settle down and play hard consistent footy. No promotion next week.

Disappointing second half but who really cares? Important that cuz and cotch got a run and came out ok.

That's it.
