Analysis 2017 List Management Discussion - Part 3

[Aphrodite]

Love a confident Tigers supporter, makes it even sweeter when they miss the finals next year

But but they are a 'super dominant team'

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

I think there is an argument that Cuningham Williamson Pickett Fisher Polson O'Brien Garlett McKay are better options than Mullett Thomas Kerridge & Casboult especially by mid year if not a lot earlier

I bloody hope so Soapy!

 

[LanceRomance]

then the club is lying

What they tell the public and what they tell the players are different things.

I think your living in the past. Over the past two years I don't know of much they have said and then gone back on. They have set a path and so far have stuck to it. Really can't see that changing

 

[Penetrator]

One day they will make a movie about the Richmond 2017 premiership and it will be a double header with the mighty ducks movie.

Not sure Arr0w, our own Gordon bombay would approve

 

[Arr0w]

The old saying why aim for 8 wins when aim to win every game and get an overall better result
No professional should ever go out not to win and if so then better to give that career up

Still remember those words

"Can't see us losing a game"

 

[GapInIkonPark]

Just a thought. Daisy is often praised for his leadership on and off the field so is it possible he’ll slip straight into docherty’s spot in the back half? So we’d line up something like this:

Fb: Plow Jones Byrne
Hb: Thomas Weits Marchbank
C: Simpson Murphy Williamson
Hf: Sosos Casboult Lang
Ff: Fisher McKay Picket
R: Kreuzer Cripps Kennedy
I/c: Sps E Curnow C Curnow Garlet/Dow/O’Brien

No.

Liability in defence.

Wright, Lamb, Garlett, Dow, O’Brien and others should get games before Thomas.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

No.

Liability in defence.

Wright, Lamb, Garlett, Dow, O’Brien and others should get games before Thomas.

He’s not a liability in defence, he reads the play well. Docherty was actually pretty ordinary one on one last year (first one that comes to mind is jeffy against Melbourne) but he’s an excellent loose defender, I think Daisy’s experience, voice and positioning would serve him well. Plus he’s done it before, some of his better games for us have come across half back. The others you’ve listed are either far too raw and not experienced enough to lead a defence or Wright who’s certainly not suited to playing that role.

Too slow at the stoppages to stop the opposition small forwards.

Poor kick.

Kicking probably the biggest issue. I’d suggest Mullett may be the next best option then if Byrne isn’t ready to go.

Edit: I already have Byrne in there, nvm. Mullett may be getting a gig earlier than most predict.

Drop Thomas, put Willa onto HBF, and play 2 of Dow, Garlett and OBrien.

Lance you still struggling to sell tickets for your motivational tour at those retirement villages?

 

[Benaly28]

Would Lachie Henderson get a start in our backline now?

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

No has a heart the size of a pea.

 

[mrjones]

Would Lachie Henderson get a start in our backline now?

Bolts would have to run it by his Mum first.

It would be up to his mum

Jinx.

 

[Space Cadet]

B: Caleb Marchbank, Liam Jones, Lachie Plowman
HB: Kade Simpson, Jacob Weitering, Ciaran Byrne
C: Matthew Kennedy, Ed Curnow, Sam Petrevski-Seton
HF: Sam Kerridge, Charlie Curnow, Darcy Lang
F: Matthew Wright, Levi Casboult, Jack Silvagni
FOL: Matthew Kreuzer, Patrick Cripps, Marc Murphy
I/C: Paddy Dow, Harry McKay, Aaron Mullett, Dale Thomas

This would be something like our best team.....for the points

The trades this year look good ,better than previous trade but obviously unproven so fingers crossed.
Obviously any slip up and we will begin to see the kids placed back in team via injury etc..

A fit Pickett definitely starts on a flank or wing.

 

[BlueRenaissance]

Docherty was actually pretty ordinary one on one last year .

Blasphemy and verging on the ridiculous.

 

[Soapy V]

Too slow at the stoppages to stop the opposition small forwards.

Poor kick.

plus is he going to add to our pace from defence? With the talls we have it's imperative we have some more run and especially someone who can kick it well and long. Given his great first year in 2017 I don't know why you wouldn't have Williamson back there. Only going to get better. Mullett O'Brien Garlett are also better options.

I'm not sure how Daisy could be ahead of any of the following for a HBF spot: Simmo, Byrne, Plow, Willo, Mullett, Garlett and O'Brien, maybe even O'Shea, Shaw, Pickett or even Shumacher too. Daisy on a back flank feels like a 'square peg, round hole' kind of situation.

 

[zeeCFC]

Don't need to make crazy changes. Try funneling the play through Weiters instead of Doc and if that goes pear shaped bring in Mullett or work with Willo and Byrne more.

Won't be as good as Doc but hoping a more mature midfield and forward line cut the reverse slingshot into our defense.

 

[Aussie Joe]

Would Lachie Henderson get a start in our backline now?

No. We have a Beast who is better in every way.

 

[Aussie Joe]

I see more value in Daisy guiding the youngester in VFL in his last year, and even taking a more active coaching/mentoring role.

With him, Simmo, ASOS and Rowe possibly retiring, we need to fast track more experience into the team.
