Bring-Back-Powell

Therein lies one of our big problems. Richmond supporters are one of the worst going around on the forums (particularly big footy) but the above comments were pretty fair and measured.

No change I believe.

Serious lack of integrity of selection there. He was woeful last week and totally undercooked as was evidenced by that run down tackle and subsequent holding the ball against him.

All good for me. My kids demand dinner at 5:30pm so I’m set.

We played Fitzroy down in North Hobart. Sadly we got done by 20 points.

I wouldn’t mind Spargo making the cut just for the melts, anger, sarcasm and humour around here for tonight.

Saints have been fantastic this season aside from the one game they didn’t play at Marvel. They'll be on the road for weeks so that will determine if they’re the real deal.

I’d say we can thank Hawthorn for us being on FTA rather than the AFL deliberately putting us on FTA. Hopefully GC cop a belting tomorrow night, lose confidence and our game against them can be more of a 50/50 affair.

What happens if there is a spike in cases in NSW over the next few weeks which wouldn’t be out of the realms of possibilities? Season surely cancelled.

That’s to cater for the WC v Adelaide game which starts at 3:20pm.

Each to their own. I thought Smith was good last week.

Joel Smith deserved to retain his spot. Can’t remember how he went in the second half Vs Geelong but his first half was really good. His athleticism and pace to go with his opponent was evident. A massive step up from rd 2. Infact our defence of May, Lever, Smith and Hibberd functioned very well for most of the game. All things going well, Smith could potentially be a productive and versatile staple in our defence going forward.

This year can go and get stuffed.

Kent’s been excellent tonight. Our list management is a joke.

I thought we was missed last week.

Instead he plays VDB who could barley move on Sunday, had a whopping 1 kick and had the awareness of someone who'd been plucked off the street that morning and played their first ever game of football. We're losing games on Thursday nights.

Richmond have been one of the sides affected by the lock down, so they may be a bit off their tucker on Sunday. Clutching at straws I know.

Can they please pick Weideman this week? T Mac will play better with only 1 bloke contesting with him and Fristch can play as more of a small forward rather than being our full forward which didn't work on the weekend. (in fact nothing about our forward line worked last week)

If we have back-back bottom 4 finishes, his position is surely under question. He's ultimately responsible as head of football for our shambolic forward line which will cost us so many games this year. He paid a fortune for a good and a BOG average defender and subsequently neglected our forward line, which was dynamic for a lot of 2018.

Not impressed with his start to the season. 2.7 as our designated full forward is a poor effort, as well as dropping a sitter in the first quarter which would've gotten us on the scoreboard. And why does he always have his shots on an angle, which doesn't help his accuracy? Maybe he needs to roam up to the wings and have a Brown or Weideman come in to play deep at full forward. Melkham has also been diabolical this year with 1 goal in 3 games and a severe lack of defensive pressure (at least Fritsch provided this in rd 2) We all got excited with this duo after a 9 goal combined pre-season performance V's Hawthorn but both have been symptomatic of our dysfunctional fwd line.

We desperately need another genuine key forward, even if it's a B grader such as Casboult. We lost on Sunday because of our dysfunctional forward line and we will lose the majority of our games this year because of our dysfunctional forward line. I was deeply concerned about our forward line over summer and it appears as though my fears have been realised. The head coach, head of football and list manager all have to be held severely accountable for this.

AFL website reporting Carlton and St Kilda could play Thursday night.

Melksham has to go. 3/3 horrid performances. How does Goody get the best out of who I thought was our best field kick in the side??

The board will sell this as a re-build (we’re tons younger and inexperienced than Geelong ) as they can’t possibly sack Goodwin given the financial plight.

Who was the genius that decided to experiment Harmes as a midfielder today?
