Forget 2022… the future is the kids

Playing the same old mediocre wombats won’t get us anywhere long term

Amazing when people finally see the light , it sets you free. , same old mediocre wombats is been too kind to the little Brown boys , Sidebottom, Hoskin Elliott, Bianco , Put games into Reef , Poulter , Ruscoe , McRae , Harrison , Murley. This is the future. Play the old duds , who are proven spuds , expect the same outcome. Not sold on you yet Fly. Fine to be attacking , but the fact you made not one move today , does not inspire me much. Moore is getting pantsed , you sit idly by , move him forward , ruck , turn a negative into a positive , your mate from the Lions who has the title as defensive coach , spare me, instructing your defenders to sit off their man by 5 metres is not been defensive , it’s purely an opportunity to have an armchairs ride if you are a half decent forward.

Who we have Available won't matter the Changes will be as the Dogs will Flog Us

That's the spirit.

 

[Gaben]

Our Begg.

In Cox.

That's all.

But all the experts around here were positive we should just keep gifting games to Begg. He's young and got 13 disposals in his first game after averaging 8 disposals in the VFL, of course he should stay in the team and ruck against a premierships ruckman with 20kgs on him!

Out: Begg, Bianco

In: Cox, Poulter or Magden

Out: Bianco, WHE
In: Macrae, Poulter

JDG, Begg and Mihocek should be our Key forwards.

I feel Begg can impact the ball forward of Center. He was in the right positions today but just rushed his decisions.

I’m sure I’ll get slammed for WHE, but I don’t care. Take away his 2 goals and you probably don’t even remember him playing the game. 0 tackles & 3 PRESSURE acts.

Yes, let’s take away his goals so you can continue your unhinged criticism.
It’s very sad, that implicit in this absurd logic, a 40 goal season from WHE is not good enough for you.
Seriously sport get a grip,

On that note…. How does Jack Ginnivan get a game? What a dud!!!!

 

[KillerMagpies]

Not really even sure what to do.

But Bianco out as a minimum. Give him a job as the mascot or something because I'm sure he loves the club, but I don't see what he offers.

As for who's in it's a pick and choose out of Macrae, Poulter, etc.

Couldn’t agree more.
I look at Bianco and can’t even identify ONE feature he offers.
I feel sorry for the kid.

Yes let’s follow the NM model - it’s been a roaring success.

 

[Rorzza]

Out: Bianco
In: Poulter

 

[Rozzahh]

Out: Bianco, WHE
In: Ruscoe, Poulter

Cox is not the future. Persevered with Begg

Not sure if Ruscoe is the answer either.

and Bianco basically offer little. I struggle to think of a more vanilla pair of players. I’d be happy if they could “kick”… or “are fast”… or “are crazy”…. or “are tackle machines”. They’re just, “meh”.
No more guys. Sorry.

Begg. Far too small to ruck. Thrown to the wolves. He has a dip. Develop as a KPP. He has a crack.

Out: Begg, Bianco, T Brown
In: Cox,
Ruscoe (we need an extra, big(gish) defender.
McCrae.

So we have 2 Usless talls in Cox and Cameron vs Dogs then

Edit: FYI, he had 14 disposals, which is perfectly acceptable for a forward who kicked 2 goals and took 5 marks, one of them being a moty contender.

Only saw WHE twice all afternoon. That and another Goal he Kicked

He’s kicked 5 in 7 games

I’m not going to argue with posters about this anymore.

I’m not going to argue with posters about this anymore.

I tend to to do that as well, no point when opinions are too far apart.

 

[KillerMagpies]

Why don’t we play Sidebottom exclusively as a small forward?
He’s got great balance and goal nous to crumb off hands and at ground level.
It’s been his go to for his declining years for a while yet nobody puts him there

Yes

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Sorry, wrong thread! But, boy he reamed you good. What a great decision to come to the tiges. Local biy too, doesn't dye his hair.

If you have anything to contribute you’re welcome.

Otherwise take your trolling elsewhere

Should get him to 15 goals for the season. Astounding

Mummy not giving you enough attention so you came looking for it here? Buy her something special tomorrow and she will surely respond. Always a slow day on Grey St. She will have spare time.

You’ve made a rod for your own back trying to diminish WHE’s performance by dismissing his 2 goals.
It was just pure folly.

Hang on, are we counting his goals or not?

 

[KillerMagpies]

Just because you weren’t paying enough attention to notice him doesn’t mean he was invisible.

WHE is one of our most senior players. He should be doing far more. Especially off a wing.
One of his goals was an off the back of a pack Xmas gift. The other was after a flashy act… which he tantalises with. Shows you he can do. But does it rarely enough. He peaked in 2018. Has been patchy at best since. I’m happy to drop him if there is another “winger” that deserves a try out… Quaynor? Naicos? McRae? Poulter?

Good Idea on after a Loss might be just ignore what people say for a Few Days as Passion Runs Very High

Of course I’m counting them.

That goal off the back of the pack was good wet weather football that comes with experience.

Prior to that “joe the goose” goal there were two or three forward entries.. the ball went out the back and there were only Richmond players there to collect and clear.
