So the message from you is "Don't write too much ... I can't handle it!". Do yourself a ******* "solid" if you can't handle the reading required on a text-based forum.Another wall of text. You are a ******* psychopath. Do me a solid and give yourself an uppercut.
That's ok because someone whose opinion I rate highly has said he's been terrible, still hasn't chased and still made the same errors. I guess statistics are the be all and end all with some though.
At Port, and with Hinkley at the helm, he'd be banished to the SANFL like Motlop was due to his lack of defensive effort and accountability. He'd eventually learn that he can't run around in cruise mode playing with no intensity.
We seen the exact same thing last week against GWS where players fell back into the same areas we fail in in big games ... a clear lack of workrate. So what does Scott do? Recall the worst culprit at the club who showed no signs of improvement in that area at VFL level. It's amazing.
So yes, I'd rather Hinkley at the helm.
And if Collingwood kick straight in that first half of round 1 they go into the break 6 or 7 goals ahead and it's game over. They made some basic skill errors by foot that basically gifted out of position Geelong players easy possession.
Neither. Constable didn't need a rest off the back of two 9 day breaks. It was a poor excuse to include Guthrie.Then go and support Port, lol. How can he be banished if he hasn't even played an AFL game yet this year?
And you don't think we nailed the draft in the last few years? Constable, Ratugolea, Miers, Atkins, Clark, Stewart, Kelly, Fogarty (jury is still out on him), to name a few. They have early draft picks, because they let Wingard and Polec go. It was kind of hard to screw up the first 20 picks, as this was a very talented draft at the top end.
Port supporters were calling for Hinkley's head last week, and now you want him as our coach?
Who would you have in his place, now that Constable is having a rest? Narkle has been criticized for work rate too, and surely you don't want Parsons or Simpson? So who is left that plays that position? Fogarty, Scooter, Cunico and Cockatoo are all injured. We could shuffle things around, but Henderson and Bews are both injured, which leaves only Abbott, Buzza, Jones, as players who have played senior footy. The former would make us top heavy and the latter still needs more development. Kennerley, Kreuger, Fort, Tarca, show promise but aren't ready yet.
So analyzing our list, do you know the only player who is left...? That's right, the other most vilified player in our team, his brother, Zach Guthrie.
So who are you taking out of Zach and Cam? Because I am taking Cam every day of the week.
We're at an impasse and this is derailing the thread so I'm not gonna bother anymore, but you seriously need to actually have a look at our list and our injury situation before making overarching statements that decry our club, when we're in a very good position on the basis of the aforementioned.
Neither. Constable didn't need a rest off the back of two 9 day breaks. It was a poor excuse to include Guthrie.
that picture apparently was at 3/4 time …. and it could have been a someone leaving early to go and set up the venue for the supporters and players to attend the after match function …
Another wall of text. You are a ******* psychopath. Do me a solid and give yourself an uppercut.
Man I have no idea how to read us this year. I thought the Melbourne win was massive, but it turned out Melbourne just started the year s**t. I thought the Carlton win was solid and hard fought but the Blues look like the same team almost afraid of winning. The loss to Brisbane was gallant, but Brisbane have since been exposed as easy beats by two of the better sides, and then We were incredibly disappointing against a sub standard Richmond side, so I thought we were just a sub par side. So THEN we proceed to knock off the reigning premiers on their home deck in a completely one sided affair.
Can a neutral supporter help me out here? Where do you rate Port so far?
So we've seen a blip on the radar, make no mistake WC are still and rightly should be flag fav's IMV no one else is near them at the minute. Question is how did last nights result come to pass?
What do wc do so well that allows them to retain possession and cut teams up with their surgical transition? I'll use the Collingwood game as an example.
They guard their space so well that they deny the opp that space to move their own ball hence why Coll moved the ball so slowly with dinky 20m passes to retain the ball - this disallowed them their swarm and spread game that serves them so well and they slowed to a halt. Were never a look in to apply any threatening forward moves. To get within 22 points forced to play like wc (play their way) was actually not a bad result.
So what did Port do to deny wc their transition game? What every team should do - ugly the game up. In a little more detail:
At every opportunity (whenever they had possession) they forced the ball forward almost chaos style and that denied wc time to structure up behind the ball (guard space) and that created a contested game - deny wc transition. It is risky because it relies on winning contested footy and if you lose the contest against a wc you'll be exposed going the other way - badly!
But that's what Port did, they backed themselves to win the contested ball, keep it ugly (weather helped) and move forward before wc can close the space. They won the mid battle by being better in the phone box, I know easier said than done when you've got the likes of Gaff, Shoe, Yeo and Redden on the park. Wines, Powell Pepper were the bulls needed in the middle to get it done.
Eagles 2018 premiership now theirs a real fluke
Poor Old m9 thereWhy is it every game day thread gets hi-jacked by dickhead Richmond supporters like this turd?
Your sense of entitlement is blinding you.Review the tape. Port actually had the advantage of non paid frees and frees which actually had any effect on the game. Fair umpiring and fair goal review it would have been a 20 point margin
I only troll those who deserve itWhy is it every game day thread gets hi-jacked by dickhead Richmond supporters like this turd?
I only troll those who deserve it
And let me guess Richmond threads getting trolled week in week out by opposition supporters is just fine in your bookWhy is it week in week out that game day threads are chock full of Richmond trolls?
It doesn’t make Richmond relevant, feel for genuine Richmond posters being tarred with the same brush.
Mate every other round theres one game on friday and we get it but oh no its mental (good) friday and theres 2 games so they show the early game whatever just keep paying out more and more money to these flog tv company's and watch ads all game its effn crap
And let me guess Richmond threads getting trolled week in week out by opposition supporters is just fine in your book
Exactly you reap what you sow everyone was happy to sink the boots into Richmond for 37 years only justified that we can now give it backNope not ok, but you reap what you sow bro.
37 years of nothing and now we have endured 2 years of torture, due to your flash in the pan success.
Learn some humility.
Exactly you reap what you sow everyone was happy to sink the boots into Richmond for 37 years only justified that we can now give it back
So how is your foxtel job going such a great plug well doneYou know that last night was a Fox Footy game, right? There were no ads during play.
As you say, there's one game on Friday every round - as the whole reason that Good Friday footy got over the line was cos of the RCH appeal in Victoria, that was always going to be the game that was showed.
You can watch every game of the season for $25/month. If you're a Telstra customer happy to watch on your phone, you can watch every game for free. I just don't really get what the complaining is about.
Its a bit different mate west coast arent a flog team at the bottom like yours were for 37 years and we weren't playing your team so take a pill and chillExactly you reap what you sow everyone was happy to sink the boots into Richmond for 37 years only justified that we can now give it back
lol if West Coast had a 37 years like Richmond did, there wouldn't be a West CoastIts a bit different mate west coast arent a flog team at the bottom like yours were for 37 years and we weren't playing your team so take a pill and chill
They will never have a crap history like that mate.lol if West Coast had a 37 years like Richmond did, there wouldn't be a West Coast
