Opinion Changes v Richmond

[Lefti93]

Hahaha

 

[Winganeen]

He's got no interest in the future of the club. Part ways.

 

[tangolikelama]

Nank to take 50 marks in defence

 

[PJ Power]

Well, my care factor for this game just dropped below zero

 

[backtozero]

So is he sick or is he dropped?

Was Hinkley's comment that we're going small based on the observation that the team didn't work with all of Hayes, Dixon, Finlayson and Marshall in it? If so, that's ******ed.

Tomorrow night in Melbourne there's only a 25% chance of rain, and yet the club are going into the game with no rucks as if this will be played in a storm.

Did the club not learn anything from the last 2 years that when you play to a consistent structure week in and week out, with the same personnel adapting to the conditions (rather than changing the personnel for the conditions) that you are more likely to have consistently good performances over the course of the season?!

This is all so predictable. If they lose (as i expect them to) it will no doubt be at selection. In what world do they look at last game where they couldn't buy a centre clearance and think "we will go in without a designated specialist ruckman" as the answer?!

 

[PJ Power]

Dropping Hayes is ludicrous. Replacing a ruck with Jones to deprive our tall forward set up even more so.

Hinkley and Montgomery have been equally tempered in their reviews of Hayes for weeks. Montgomery especially. This sucks.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Motlop to ruck

 

[PJ Power]

Rucks are kind of valuable in the rain.

 

[RossFC]

So is he sick or is he dropped?

Hayes is sick.

 

[PJ Power]

Hayes this year has played 7 games, for 5 wins. Lycett 5 games for 0.

And Hayes is the problem?

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

 

[backtozero]

AFL site says Finlayson to ruck.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Hayes dropped or unwell?

 

[Schulzenfest]

Getting rid of a tall and replacing that tall with a back pocket rather than the young gun KPF who had 20 and 2 in the SANFL last week is absolute peak Hinkley.

 

[Portwon]

He would have known Hayes either wasn't going to play due to being sick or being dropped. He bas basically named the team week after week.

Gutless prick dodging the issue

 

[backtozero]

Getting rid of a tall and replacing that tall with a back pocket rather than the young gun KPF who had 20 and 2 in the SANFL last week is absolute peak Hinkley.

Unbelievable Georgie hasn't been brought back.
We've gone from having a cohesive 3-tall forward line + a promising young ruckman to a 2-tall forward line that will probably have to help in the ruck.

 

[fingerbone]

georgiades not returning?

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Mr Fumbles coming in for a wet weather game. Genius

 

[philthy05]

Getting rid of a tall and replacing that tall with a back pocket rather than the young gun KPF who had 20 and 2 in the SANFL last week is absolute peak Hinkley.

The situation is absurd enough but the fact that we all expect this kind of shit is even more absurd.

People can say Hayes is sick but the article on the website says omitted, so I'm judging them on that.

Even if Hayes is sick, why are we replacing him with a halfback when the ruckman will come from the forwardline.

It's absolutely sick that because David Koch is a useless, cowardly campaigner of a man, we're in a situation where a long proven bad coach is making decisions that will hurt us in the long term in a panicked attempt to save his job.

**** Ken Hinkley. I hate him. I hope Richmond beat us by 20 goals.

Mine too. Off to Queensland tomorrow
Morning. Won’t bother even watching.

 

[gbear]

Going into the game without a ruckman is pure genius

 

[Us against the rest]

Hayes is sick.

Sick of Ken already.
