This is why Oliver will never win a brownlow. Chalks up stats but is an absolute ball butcher who doesn't hurt you.

Good God Sparrow...

We're in trouble. Coaching and selecting integrity woeful. Petty spudding it up at CHF while we leave out an in form forward in Schache out. Hibberd is finished as a footballer. Incredibly slow to react at ground level.

Confident we respond this quarter. We have far too many good players to not respond. C'mon Dees.

Defence is puss, midfield lazy and full or Hollywood heroes tonight.

Cumberland teaching Hibberd a lesson.

Hamish ad Luke Darcy as commentators for the game.

Sub?

I could cry.

Yes, he did.

These stats are interesting, was checking the VFL app and noticed its all changed?

Morale of the story is this isn't a walk in the park as some think. Some still haven't learnt their lesson for thinking the same against Essendon I see..

Is that even his actual role? Like have coaches come out and stated this specifically his role? Feel like some just make up stuff just to justify his ongoing selection time and time again. He literally laid 1 tackle last week lol.. Can't be doing doing that if your role is purely defensive. Also, if his role is purely a defensive role then why did last week we concede 35 disposals to Merret, 34 disposal to Parish and 28 disposals to Dylan Shiel. We also lost the contested possession again for the 3rd time out of 5 games this year. For a team that prides ourselves in contested possession we're actually losing more then we're winning. Where is he in all of this as part of his role? I know it doesn't come down to the individual but he's every part of the problem also. Right now he's a limited footballer who can't even play anywhere else other then 10 minutes a quarter in the midfield doing whatever he does. Jordon showed more in 1 game against Sydney this year playing as an inside/outside midfielder then Sparrow has in 12 months.

Hogan's going well actually and I'm really happy to see him in good form. On his way to a 40 plus goals this season on form alone.

Jordon takes Sparrow spot and Laurie for Spargo. Pretty simple.

Random stat, but George Hewett had 29 disposals for only 30 metres gain. How is that even possible?? Just seems incredibly low for so many possessions.

Looks like a sub option but I would have brought him straight in for Spargo. Plays half forward but another player that can go into the midfield and give us a different look.

No fair point, sorry Turner was good as well and another who's been pushing for selection for the past 3 weeks.

Yeah look maybe, but at the end of the day someone like Dunstan has been performing week in and week out. He deserves too get rewarded for that alone. I'm sick to death of the same blokes getting rewarded at AFL level for sub par performances each week. I mean I look at Laurie and just think the poor bloke couldn't have done any more to put himself at the front of selectors for his performance on over thr past few weeks but yet he's been pushed aside once again.

Really worried about this one. Not overly confident because at the end of the day it's Richmond. They've won't 3 premierships in this era and still have high quality premiership players running around.

Watched the game today. I made comments after the Essendon game that the likes of McDonald and Tomlinson should not pull on the red and blue jumper again unless we are depleted with injury. On today's performance I'd be happy for them to stay at Casey for the rest of the year regardless. For senior players that was pretty woeful performance on their standard. They've given us great service especially McDonald, but they honestly cooked. Not many winners there today. Dunstan and Harmes the only two that can hold their head up high. Dunstan needs to be rewarded for form. Absolute joke that Sparrow has done nothing since 2021 and gets a free ride while guys like Dunstan and Laurie are putting on consistent performance at VFL level for little reward this year. Missing the likes of Buntine, White and Munro will always cost you at VFL level. These guys are the absolute heartbeat of the team and drive high standards. I counted 3 AFL listed players for Richmond today compared to ours which had 14 AFL listed players. So yes, very embarrassing loss. Hopefully this doesn't flow onto Tomorrow night.

Umpires are a [censored] joke

How great of the football club to let Mitch White partake in the rehab group with the footy club. Absolutely no coincidence our AFL and VFL alignment is one of not best in the country.

Nah. Cadman has added more weight and looks significantly bigger then what he did around draft time. While Jefferson may have added some weight he's still a twig and gets pushed off the ball pretty easily at VFL level.

When I watched Kalani last year at Lavington for the under 15's national championships he was towering over his dad. I was with a colleague and we estimated that he was already at 200cm tall.
