Bring in Bugg to improve our goal kicking accuracy. Seriously though Out: Spargo, Hunt, Pedersen, JKH In: Kent, Melksham, Hibberd, Hannan ?

Season over for mine, mental fragility is our distinguishing characteristic

Lets face it, we've been the ultimate flat track bully side of the comp this year. I'm not reading too much into how much we've scored because most of that has been in the smashing of teams below us. I'm severely concerned that we have fallen at every hurdle against harder teams (maybe excepting the Adelaide away win). I'm extremely worried that we go 0-3 in the last three rounds and miss finals. This week is the ultimate put up or shut up game for the Dees.

Looks like a lamb amongst wolves so far?

Agree mostly with the op, except you take him out and nobody besides Jetta in the back half has any composure in traffic. I think we better not play both him and Vince again in the same side. We are this year's Port, can't beat anyone in the top 8. Our lack of fight from the opening bounce was so incredibly disappointing. We're nowhere near ready for a serious crack at finals. Embarrassed to be a demon fan today, and to think I took day of annual leave so i could start home and watch that pitiful performance. Won't be doing that ever again.

Just watched it on catch up and thought it was great exposure for the club. Especially liked the copious references to our team as being elite athletes at the top of their game. Well done to all involved.

Thought he was best on for us at least in the first half, kept Roughy very quiet. Would have to be the most improved player this season by the length of the straight.

Well if Richmond can go from a model of inconsistency to premiers in the space of a year or two, why can't we? I have hope that we will see what can happen when a squad of players are all playing their role. Who's going to be our match winner superstar (Dusty) though?

Sounds like the dog could have been handy in the Chris Dawes household.

Get rid of the turnover merchants, they're the ones that are killing us. When we turn it over, everyone is out of position and then its a game of draw and give to the opposition all the way to the goal line more often than not.

Don't forget that sides have won flags with key position forwards of the likes of Barry Hall, Quentin Lynch, and Adam Hunter, Chris Dawes, and Travis Cloke. Its all about the midfield and forward 50 pressure.

Don't want to lose him, but 15 million over ten years for a forward that doesn't lead, sounds a bit much. Needs to lead more or we need to learn how to deliver it the way he wants it.

this needs to be edited by the creator of the youtube video Jack Viney Thug Life, epic Viney

He reminds me of one of the original oompa loompa's (see new avatar)

I want Watts, Garland, Howe, Lumumba, Bail, Grimes, McKenzie, Terlich and Toumpas gone.

This is probably going to sound a bit reactionary, but IMHO the following players are just making up the numbers on our list and should probably be traded or de-listed at the end of their current contract (if not before). I can't see any light at the end of the tunnel, what looked like light at Geelong a few weeks ago turned out to be just a glimmer of more hell-fire in the pit of despair that we have found ourselves lost in. 1) Bail 2) Cross 3) Dawes 4) Dunn 5) Garland 6) Grimes 7) Howe 8) Jamar 9) Matt Jones 10) McKenzie 11) Michie 12) Newton 13) Riley 14) Spencer 15) Terlich 16) Toumpas 17) Tyson 18) Watts 19) Fitzpatrick 20) Lumumba

hypothetical: would you trade Hogan and our first pick for Fyfe?

vanders should start as the third tall in the forward line who goes into the midfield for 5 mins every now and again. He has the size to stand a KPD, his versatility is probably the reason Pedo is gonna be on the outer this year or so it seems. This will free up Watts to play more of a link role and we need his precise footskills coming into F50 badly. Hoping for a massive debut from the rookie.

I'd take Caleb Daniel over Roos if he's still available at this pick. Can't wait to see the little fella in action wherever he goes

Assuming we get pick 3 compo for Chip, what about picks 2 & 3 to the Saints for their pick 1, pick 20 and a player? On second thoughts, just eyeballed their senior list and its lean pickings indeed. They'll take Petracca for sure at pick 1 and they need to. We need to be content with Brayshaw (or whoever else it is that the recruiting team like for our first pick).

This sucks, I was hoping Daniel would end up a Dee, I suppose he's icing for a better list though.

Caleb Daniel looks awesome! Elusive, excellent hands, great disposal and can kick goals, he'll be the next Brent Harvey.

Villa could yet cause a shock for the UEFA cup spot, keep your eye on the Claret and the Blue!

And the Villa go marching on!!! 3 away wins in a row, bring on the Arse!

Despite the 4-4 result on Monday night, I think you'll find Villa will cause a few surprises this year. Up the Villa!
