IF on the remote chance we lose this game do you think that feral pig Joffa will bring out that unimaginative abnner saying "get off our ground". Would be quite ironic given the events of today.
I'm not sure whether he's gone backwards as such but you're right his output has certainly gone down.
I hope its got more to do with the fact that a couple of years ago he had Neitz and Robertson bringing the ball to ground on every occasion the ball was delivered inside our forward 50 whereas now on most occasions he gets the #1 tag.
Now I know its only rd 1 and of late there has been a trend to bash players on this site however I've created this thread to discuss what should be done with Davey when things aren't going his way in the midfield. It staggers me that given a day like yesterday when he is clearly struggling with a tag through the middle of the ground why we wouldn't just let him sit underneath Brad Miller's feet deep in the forward 50. Obviously we struggle for pace throughout the guts however when a player of his calibre only manages 11 possesions for the day surely a change is needed?
Btw I think Davey is our most important player and by the time he is 28 and weere seriously challenging in September there will be no other man I will forward to watching more.
Why not?
Richmond's list in terms of personal might not seem that bad, but they'll never win a premiship as it is to uneven. Basically there older players are going to be gone before there younger brigade e.g. Cotchin, Delidio and co come through. Melbourne is much closer to winning a premiship than Richmond, thus they have the worse team in the league.
Wouldn't have minded Mitch Robinson at pick 35. Bennell looks a gem though.
Richmond are terrible. There list is easily the worst in the AFL. 6 key players over the age of 30 there going to have to rebuild again.
Yes he is. The point is he has the talent to become a much better player if he applies himself. We all know this, Dean Bailey know this, his team mates know this the only person who doesn't is Colin. He has more talent in his right hand than most people on our list.
Sylvia is easily in our best 22 however I don't think this is such a bad thing. Clearly Bailey is putting it to Sylvia, shape up or ship out. Hopefully this hard stance will kick him into gear and finally allow himself to fulfill the potential we all know he has.

Johnson. Really?
I know he did that run down on Sherman but he doesn't really have any agro about him. Spencer does, actually reminds me alot of Jamie Charman.
Once Richo, Brown, Bowden, Simmonds and Johnson retire Richmond are going to have to do another mini rebuild. In all seriousness there list management in my opinion is the biggest joke in the AFL.
