That's exactly right. They were killing us and killing the coach.
Not here to make excuses for the coach he's got a lot of work to do too but those blokes hung the team out to dry.
If anyone wanted to know why Ben Lennon is on the outer that'd be why. He is either lazy, selfish, can't run or doesn't listen. He's not alone but he's a good example and a complete liability.
Vickery constantly leaving us outnumbered by being out of play from lack of run. We all love Miles but he couldn't keep up. Recruited Townsend for a bit of hardness but can't keep up. Corey Ellis can't keep up. Some of these blokes need to have huge pre seasons. Cotchin spent half his time being smashed by the opposition so was chasing tail after picking himself of the ground.
Then everyone wants to have a go at a bloke like Brandon Ellis who does what he's expected to do but has no numbers in support so has nowhere to go, so backwards we go and round and round with the hard running opposition hemming us in. Eventually our own hard running players were blowing up too due to having to do too much.
Very hard to watch it as you say there is a reason it happens and it's most definitely not instructions.

how do i super like this post?

Image the melts if this happens.

Hope this is not being considered:
(a) We are nowhere near a flag and would make no sense to bring in players of Harlett's ilk.
(b) Harlett is overated and injury prone
(c) Should not trade picks in next years draft (especially the first) as 2017 draft pool is rated better than this year. We may also need points for Naish or any other f/s (if any good).
(d) Harlett is not worth a first round pick
This is not about winning a flag. This is about securing people's jobs. Scrape into the 8 and the heats off. The people making these decisions don't give a **** about our long term future.

How to get Prestia and Hartlett without using a 2017 pick...

Step 1: Trade 6 + 25 (2507 points*) to GWS for 15 + 16 + 32 (2763 points)
*will actually be 3008 points for GWS after their bonus 20% for academy discounts but if Giants have a sook throw in pick 42 to take it to 2902 points before bonus if need be
This makes zero sense. GWS get the 20% discount on picks 15, 16 & 32 as well so they will literally be trading their points down.
 
Would be delicious to see Lennon come back with his tail between his legs and work hard.
Balme is gonna slap him in the face
 
Ashcroft on trade radio saying the Prestia deal will be complicated . This means it won't be pick 6. Good
Good news, but I hope not too complicated that it can't be executed in the first couple of days so we can concentrate on other targets!

Righto mate. Must be a hack
Calm down precious, I havent said he is a hack, in fact I said I am glad to have him, I just dont think 1 man is suddenly going to right all our wrongs like you obviously do.
 
Looks like someone is coming back with his tail between his legs, season long VFL stint beckons then delisting if he doesn't pull his finger out.
"Tail between his legs"? I don't blame him for one second for wanting out. The kids been put through the ringer. Let's see how he goes when fully fit and then make a call.
 
Unless Yarran never plays....

We spent pick 8 on Vickery.
All his crap aside, he is capable of a lot of goals.
Ask yourself this, how many times was Ty the difference between the two sides in a close win. Can't remember Ty single handedly keeping Richmond in the contest can you.

Give me a spell, he was sick then got injured for most of the year and then sooks it up wanting out citing limited opportunities, yeah tail between his legs time, probably thought he was top shit and would have offers flooding in, no suitors should slam him back down to earth with a massive thud.

Hopefully he isn't salty. I wouldn't be taking anything less than a first round for him. That's what's probably scaring off other clubs

Lids must be clueless.

Looks like Cockatoo and a pick coming to RFC then
He also said that he can't see how it will happen either do RFC and Geelong so will probably stay at Richmond
 
Vickery will be a massive tell tale sign. As he is now Hawthorn are kidding themselves thinking he can play the role they've identified for him.
If they get him to a point where he can then the way we are conditioning and developing people is the biggest issue we have.
