Changes for Last week of suffering v Ninthmond

[MattyKnights]

@Saucy

I’m begging you Richmond. Please just destroy us as a club.

100+ points. PLEASE.

I’m sure the 100 points is a given. I’m predicting Lynch may well give the 18 goal match record a serious shake.

[MattyKnights]

I reckon there will be a few of our spuds clutching at hammies and calves during training to dodge the Richmond game.

If this was to be Hurls’ farewell game well haven’t we ■■■■■■ that up.

[efc1robbo]

I would be dropping him for his rubbish form and awful defending for the past month

[handypoint]

we were so bad on the weekend I have no idea who they will drop.

basically I guess who deserves a game in the ones from the twos?? look at it that way.

im guess Hobbs and perhaps Cutler deserve a call up…anyone else?

[Kingston_Town]

@M10G10

yes, lets drop Hind for behaviour of 3 weeks ago.

Obviously you never saw Sunday’s effort.

VOSS

@Tikolo

Voss played around the ball as well as half forward. He was great! If the ball was in his vicinity, he attacked where he either got it and broke a tackle (or three) or layed a strong tackle on the opposition. He also kicked two crunch goals and held some strong contested marks. For me, he would be an easy in for Langford. If you lost by 100 points with a team of Vosses, at least you would know that you would know the loss was not due to lack of effort, appetite for the contest or mental fragility.

@Tikolo

Francis - I had stamped “Delist” on Francis’ papers long ago but his game had me reaching for a wet sponge to see if I could blot out the stamp’s ink. His low powerful kicks were a weapon in the breezy conditions and he read the ball better than others to take a lot of important marks. If we hope to get any trade value for him, he needs to be promoted for the last game. Either Kelly or Laverde could make way.

Reid - Started the game in the forward line where he showed he was good on the lead. He also showed he was strong below his knees and a quick decision maker. Dropped back into defence in the third where he was still good but didn’t have the same wow factor. Bit ordinary back in the forward line in the last. Not at Ridley’s standard but Ridley would need to ensure he has a good pre-season.

Hurley - Played in defence. Looked ok without being great. Would the AFL team be weaker by giving him a farewell game at the expanse of Kelly or Laverde? Yeah, but not by much.

@Kickett

Guaranteed win if we sack Rutten before the game. Lock it in.

In which case let’s march out Rutten post game.

Need to keep our eyes on the prize, pick 4 baby!

[LucasLefty]

Oh yeah there’s a game on

SuperFooty (AFL)

[astro_bomber]

Dont laugh, but what if we win?

[LucasLefty]

Someone else said it but would feel very much like the 2013 second match against Carlton when Zaka kicked the winner.

[astro_bomber]

If we win, it still means nothing. This team has been inconsistent and putting good performances in only when the club has been bashed. What’s been consistent is the inconsistency and it’s been like that since pre Hird days. So that’s why I don’t think it’s a strictly a coaching issue.

[bltn]

There will be the predictable, tired push back to this comment, but it could easily happen.

We are much better than last week, and Richmond cannot move from 7th/8th.

[astro_bomber]

Oh, like I said above, I don’t give a crap if we win. It’s those kinds of wins that ■■■■ me off. I want to be able to sit down before a game and know we can beat a team and the team actually do it.

[jonovdp]

UNLEASH THE STRUT!!!

In: Voss

[bltn]

Yer, we can absolutely win this game.
We cannot predict what mindset the players will be in though.
I hope they have some collective pride in their performance after 2 shockingly poor weeks.

Of course, our spirit may be broken early, and we lose by 50.
Nothing will surprise me.

For me, im sick and tired of Richmond mataphorically kicking sand in our face.
It has to stop.
Why not Sat night ?!!

[astro_bomber]

That would be nice and it would be nice to finish on a win, instead of stewing the whole off season over how crap we were.

[abracadraper]

tigers will be reading for us to come out firing thinking our players have any self-respect

our players don’t so they’ll come out limp dicked like the last two weeks and tigers will have the game in hand by the mid point of the 2nd qtr, will feel sorry for us and we’ll get 3 or 4 meaningless goals to only lose by 180

[Michael_Long_Legend]

Came here to say the same thing.

[bomba]

Hurley has to play. The only chance this rabble of a club can obtain a shred of positive PR this week.

[premature_rookie_ele]

What’s football?
