Re: Get physical, Ben!

He's a young ruckman getting battered around all year (had a bleeding nose tonight) in a losing team. People should cut him some slack. Been battling a sore foot. Needs a another couple of years to really come into his own. As he grows in confidence I'm sure he can get a bit more mongrel in him and...

What a strange post. Dont even really know the guy. Think he will be a good footballer. Sorry. Better to say he is a hack.
Not a hack. Can really play but may lack the physical attributes to be an elite ruckman at AFL level.

Re: Curren might get a spot in 2014

Best thing about him is that he was still running at the end and he was still competing.

Re: Game day thread v Hawks

Lee - is he slow ? .. And unfit? .. And does he play from behind too much ? He looks like his mobility is suffering due to his weight program. Hopefully he can settle into his new body over the pre-season and work again on agility and building a bigger tank rather than simply bulking up, which seem...

Re: Get physical, Ben!

Preferred Lee in the ruck tonight. Completely outsized but provides more than one effort and then gets back into the forward line quickly. Hang on Ben has just shepherded!

Can't jump. Can't run. Flogged in the ruck by Hale tonight who can barely get off the ground himself. Missed his only get table mark in the forward line. Absolute dinosaur.

Re: Game day thread v Hawks

Senior players are terrible- NDS putting no pressure on- selfish game, Montagna just running around with no physical pressure on his opponent. At least the young guys are having a crack. Lenny might have to give it away after this season, and Gwilt can hardly run. Shocking defensive work especially...

Re: Trio Re-sign For Saints

Baffling re-signing: I haven't seen a player show less courage in the 23 years I've been following the Saints - but I invite nominations. He is a flat out jib. Terry Milera does not go in to make a tackle no matter how small the opponent or how poor that opponent's positioning positioning or how lim...

Re: End of year changes I'd like to see.

I'm pretty much with you Calais. On Schneids I reckon they make a medical assessment. If his body is stuffed he should go. He's wasting our time. If his Body is ok I would like to see him have a go at the Brent Guerra roll down back. He'd need to commit to getting fiiter and stronger. Id like to se...

Re: Todays Sandringham game.

Maybe not but he was getting plenty of encouragement at the three-quarter time huddle today. I have posted this before but I think his bad body language lets him down a bit. He works really hard getting the ball and that's the best part of his game that instinctive first touch. When the opposition h...

Re: Todays Sandringham game.

Even leaving his goals aside Minchington was good. Showed real appetite for the contest and strength around the ball. Our young onballers were given first use all day. Bendigo were woeful in most departments. Worst on ground though was umpire #36 who paid a series of unnecessary frees 5 seconds apar...

The fact that all the first year mids have had a game in front of him and that Ferguson was promoted in front of him pretty much tells you what the club is thinking. yeah but why is the club thinking like that?

Re: Jay LEVER will he make it?

Well the only downside I've seen ( and it was on display R1 in the rain at Coburg Oval Thunda) is that he can be selfish. He has good pace and is a creative player who always seems composed. Richmond, as you'll have read, face significant salary pressure if they're to keep their best.

Short answer? No. Is bloody lucky to be playing in VFL Seniors. Gets pushed around like rag doll. Doesnt do anything around ground, only averages 7 disposals.

Re: team- Rd 11 vs Eagles

Actually what we want is any forward who wants to lay a tackle as opposed to running flashily after their backmen on the breakout. Not surprised at all to see maister playing for that and other good reasons.
