Too bad it is not in our new Richmond game plan ......

Richmonds game plan is to win...

We can’t even seem to grasp that

Looks like another week that would suit him - the Brothers Crouch seems like the sort of guys we should be using him against.

Apparently been our best player across the scratchies but missed against Carlton and WB - if he’s overlooked again this week then I’d say the coaches have put a line through him.

Narrow mindness like that from our coaches, will cost us wins.

You don’t need to tag the crouch brothers, they don’t hurt you. If anything you want them getting the ball atm, because they are absolutely butchering it. If we were to tag someone it’d be Brodie smith, like the saints did last night.

I want him in, get rid of a flake like Smith out of the Midfield and unleash the bull

Ok - let’s see what happens.
I’m guessing they get a whole lot of ball against our group of short people.

I feel like eventually they give in to peer pressure and he will get a few games but then will randomly get dropped and won't be back until it happens again.

Why play Langford as a tagger when we have this guy?

 

[JT_the_Man]

Please play him.

 

[FlyingV]

from memory when we were playing our best footy last year he was in the middle playing the negating role and getting a few touches himself. Worth a crack I think, and if he’s dishing the ball out to Shiel, McGrath and Parish I think that kinda works?

I remember him doing the job on Cripps and then a couple of other good tagging roles. He was the new wonder kid. They were talking about him like he was the new Cameron Ling and then he fell off the face of the earth.

Injuries or he just fell out of favour? I wasn't watching.

 

[Atavistic]

Can we get this guy back in the team? Please? Or are we just going to wait each year till everything falls apart before we realise he actually makes us a better team?

 

[Donakebab]

It would make far too much sense having this bloke sit on the best opposition mid when they cut us up every week.

 

[eth-dog]

Just play him.

 

[MattyB3150]

Do we have to have a protest to bring him in? He surely can't be any worse then what we have.

 

[Atavistic]

Apparently he kicks poorly, but I don't see Merrett kicking it to anyone on our team.

 

[BomberTime]

Far too defensive for Essendon.

 

[Atavistic]

Far too defensive for Essendon.

Also tries too hard and tries to make the opposition accountable. Delist.

 

[fairbump_playon]

Must play now.

 

[andleanback]

Surely he has to get a game this week. He’d be chomping at the bit, I’d almost walk out of the hub if I Was him and didn’t get picked this week.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Seems mind boggling that Neale can run around and dominate, yet our big-bodied tagger remains on the pine.

 

[carloss]

Give him a run.

 

[JayJ20]

What gets me:

- We discovered that he can play
- We discovered that tagging actually works after yet another poor start to the season
- We win 7 out of the first 8 games when he comes in
- He provides much needed size in the middle
- He's still young

We proceed to drop him after he tired a little towards the end of last year never to be seen again. Zaharakis meanwhile lives on one good game. What exactly did we learn with all of Woosha's learnings? And we wonder why we never have a competitive midfield. You'd actually need to develop them.

 

[RearNaked]

Will probably play him as a forward pocket let’s be honest

We know that Woosha has a pecking order and a couple of players are immune to being dropped. Could have used a tag vs Brisbane, but it isn't the style of Essendon. Also, winning isn't in style.
