Changes for Richmond

[vaughany]

Will we be seeing the Red and Grey jumper tonight? I hope not.

Forgot about this! unfortunately we are wearing it

"Looks lazy" has to take the award for most pointless and unfounded player criticism ever. God I am sick of hearing it.

Is lazy.

Just because he looks laconic doesn't mean he doesn't care. Hell Heppel looks like he doesn't break into a run sometimes no one doubts his effort. I think everyone knows melk will be a player I also believe its a body thing, he has never had great fitness and has put on considerable size. Throw in the fatigue of a season and no wonder he is struggling.

People complain that hird doesn't blood players. Well he is persisting with melksham and obviously sees something in him. Can't want him to blood players and also beg for consistency

 

[vaughany]

I see Nicholls and McInerney are umpiring tonight's game....

That's true. Hep has also had an average year with regards to his effort. I'd like to see Melk come back next year with a much bigger tank and more muscle, I have no doubt he will make it sometime soon.

In Hirdy I trust.

Oh motherf-

 

[Doss]

It's not so much that people don't see anything in Melksham, because we know he can play. He just hasn't produced this year, for whatever reason.

Who knows this? Melksham's mum?

 

[ZAAHAARAKIS!!!!!]

I know it, still extremely confident he'll be a very good player. Even this year he has played great quarters (see NM 1st quarter) and sometimes halves (Bris + WCE). Just needs to find some consistency

 

[kfc1]

Melky should be he dropped, his teeth are too big

 

[Doss]

Who knows this? Melksham's mum?

No idea about Jake's old lady, but if you need refreshing on what Melksham can do when on song, watch the Geelong game last year.

The really, really, really worrying thing is Nicholls is no longer the worst.

He was OK through to about round 10. Patchy, but OK.

At least he's consistent now!

 

[ZAAHAARAKIS!!!!!]

pannell takes the cake for me, always has the cheeky half smile when he knows the cameras are on him

 

[Kong]

He's gone from pocket to pocket, then bench. Maybe sub this week. This is the worlds slowest omission.

Called it a week or two ago:

Melksham is the new McVeigh.

it's also being kind to melkshan. he is lazy, and the dude doesn't like to defend. so actually he might not be lazy, just dumb. that's much more worrying than looking lazy

 

[Phone]

let's take this to a poll, is he being lazy or dumb when he stands there, allowing the geelong play to easily receive and dispose of the ball

 

[ZAAHAARAKIS!!!!!]

c) constipated

To be fair, that was probably the best game he's ever played.

What is this actually based on?

Would it be better if he gritted his teeth when he was exerting himself so everyone knows how hard he is trying?

 

[Phone]

To be fair, that was probably the best game he's ever played.

that's why i picked it. can't hide behind 'oh well he's just down on confidence' or some shit. well that and because i remember it - it cost us a goal and made us all shit ourselves because SJ ended up nailing it from 50 to bring it back to 4

 

[LukeParkerno1]

There is maybe one difference and it is that Zaharakis and Stanton now have some semblance of match fitness.

Except one can't deal with a tag and one is 1 game back from a 3 month injury!

 

[lamaros]

To be fair, that was probably the best game he's ever played.

Yeah it makes a mockery out of anything anyone has been saying. Pointing out one isolated incident is not how players a picked for the next round.

(BTW it was D: young and indecisive)

I'm not expecting much.

i uploaded that video back in april when people were talking about melksham's defence as an example of recent talk about it not being an isolated incident, not a recent thing that will go away in a bit (as it hasn't.....). the dude has serious problems there, and we can't blame it on the weapon

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I'm not expecting much.

A win will be a loss under 7 goals, I just can't see it, hopelessly out of form and lets be honest we must have received every injury in the book this year!
