No it's been on show IMO but he doesn't have enough consistency and doesn't get enough possessions.His possessions and running when he gets it are not the problem it's getting it enough.
Against Adelaide he only had 11 disposals, 63.6% disposal efficiency and 2 tackles. This is backed up by plenty of similar performances across the year. For me, he is currently the weak link in our team forward of the middle.

I agree on that I think he is the weak link but when he sharks the ball like he did before half time against the plastics and then uses his pace to run into an open goal I see the upside. Having said that if you offered me beer after halftime at the plastics ground at the expense of Richards I'm going with the beer!
 
Jumped on your game day threads a bit over the last 6-8 weeks pumping up your squad and rightly so .
All the best for the rest of the season ... a great team to watch which will be contending for the next few years .
Hope you smash the Giants to continue the run deep into September .
Just watched the last 2 minutes of 97 Prelim for the first time since seeing it live as it's on the AFL website today. still seems like a horror movie but good to know there are some good crow supporters although I didn't think so on the day!

Why the **** didn’t Grant just kick it off the ground ?

Changes since: Out Trengove, Dickson. In English, West.

Kept it in the "Bubble Of Excellence" after a loose first half with far too much speed on the game.
Disposal ratio well in the green, control in the green eventually, lots of green, but will be getting
an opponent with a lot more potency and quality this time around.
 
Slightly off topic but do West, Young and Trengove all play vfl this week?
My understanding is that for sides in finals, players who played AFL week 23 can’t play VFL finals. All other players can play irrespective of how many VFL games they have played. As an example Trengove could play.

For teams that didn’t make the AFL finals, normal restrictions based on number of games apply.

Did the rules used to be different if the AFL team is also in finals?

It was only a few years ago Hawthorn played Rioli in the VFL GF to get him fit for the senior side and I don't think he'd played VFL previously that year (and he stunk it up, was in down hill skier mode which helped us win the VFL GF)

Had to get special permission. From next week on, as long as our AFL team is alive, anyone can play vfl finals. Once our afl season finishes, usual vfl games threshold for qualification takes effect.

What people are missing with Richards is this, once the opposition defenders get the ball our forwards flood back to clog up there forward line except Richards who is given the chasing ping pong role to just put enough pressure on. You won’t pick it up on tv, yet live Bevo has clearly given him this role

In that role you'd think he'd average more tackles. Only a couple of decimals ahead of Dicko and Lloyd, who are well ahead of him in goals.
 
We are now in possession of rare authentic rat meat from Ireland, homemade Croatian plum brandy and are making a dash to Amsterdam to obtain the killer ingredient - raw Dutch herring. Together once the ceremony is conducted in the Swiss alps and on the day of the game - this ritual will totally bewilder the giants team - the stench created from these ingredients is irresistible according to the Gorgon shrew.

Personally it has been a harrowing trial to date and I can’t imagine what perversions and treks will be involved if she continues to succeed with these diabolical spells!

My god! I forgot the Grant/Hudson debacle. That was the winning goal served up on a platter and they totally f&$@ed it up. Hudson should have shepherded Grant and been a voice instead of bloody fighting him for it.
That stuff up cost us a flag.
Forget about every other storied incident (Libba, M West, Cook getting hit by the apple...) the whole game came down to that moment in an open goal.
Fu@@k!!!!!’
