Changes Vs Melbourne

[peejay]

god i hope this isnt the new trend now... king out and mcmahon in

its going to be like the old hyde in and tivendale out vice versa

Forget about what they are being paid.

McMahon is a much better player than king.

King is a tough nut with no skill.

Mcmahon is an outside flanker who has no confidence.

If i had to have one of them it would be McMahon - We know what he can do - problem is he hasn't done it for a while. In 2006 he laid 56 tackles. he has had a season where he has had over 500 disposals. he needs his confidence back and quickly.

I could never see king get anywhere near 500 disposals in a season. We think he is fierce but his best tackle count was 49 in 2007.

the question is Can Jordy ever get back to his best form? at 25 i have not given up on him but i do think he needed more than one game i the magoos.

 

[fightingfury]

who's the 3rd one?

JO'N is
its updated on the afl site now....

RICHMOND has swung the axe in the wake of last Monday's pitiful performance against the Western Bulldogs, dropping four players.

Richard Tambling, Jay Schulz, Shane Edwards and Jake King are out, replaced by Andrew Collins, Daniel Connors, Jordan McMahon and Robin Nahas.

Hey guys,

Just wondering what is happening with Thomson? Is he injured or something? Going to get a game soon?

He is a gun and is brilliant with clearance work, he tore it up in the SANFL last year and showed some really good stuff when he played for us, he really should be getting a chance and tearing it up at Richmond.

Sorry if this question has already been asked and good luck this weekend guys.

Cheers.

I'm just gonna be blunt and if you don't like my post, so be it.

How is thomson not getting a game? Injury?

He is better than a number of players in your 22 that have played in the first few rounds, and based on your inclusions this week, should be in the 22 for round 4.

I didn't like the fact he was snobbed at port last year, so i was hoping he could do well at richmond, so it's disappointing he hasn't got a run as of yet.

As coke_zero said he has been injured. I believe he was BOG for Coburg a while back (before he got injured) and was one of our best vs Collingwood in the preseason. He played last w/e iirc and was "ok".

If he stays fit he'll definitely get his chance.

Mcmahon poos his pants if he comes within 1m of an opposition player and just kicks or handballs it anywhere. Can't have that in the side

I have just got back from Vanuatu. Can someone let me know what JON did to warrent selection this week? Cheers

kicked 10 goals for Coburg 1sts and laid 12 tackles to go with his 53 touches

Haha pull the other one. Any serious answers?

some good reports from his coburg form last weekend as a forward (some BF tigerheads rated him BOG), however, VFL site didn't list him among our best 6

 

[Power King]

he was injured round 2, and came back last week.

dont worry i found out JON is the third.

There we go. The clear bias with a silly post to back it up.

Just a note that in round 1 McMahon had more tackles than 18 of our other players.

So I guess he does go near other players.

 

[Delids]

I am all for Connors playing but after just one game in VFL has he got the fitness. I hope Wallet doesnt drop him after 1 match as he has done with other youngsters.
I would selected Cogs as he has played 2 games.
Connors to come after 3 matches in the twos

 

[sante]

Good to see Collins debut and Connors back in the side. It'll be interesting to see where Connors is played.

 

[coke_zero]

he will have to play a bloody good game and follow it up all year as we have players like cuz, cotchin, coughlan, thomson all coming back from injury or pushing for selection.

 

[carn tigez]

King and Edwards out

 

[astro_toby]

LOL - Looks lije that might be the case hey?

the ol dud musical chairs. I'd prefer McMahon in though - he showed last year that he can be very important to us playing well when his game is on song

 

[astro_toby]

I have just got back from Vanuatu. Can someone let me know what JON did to warrent selection this week? Cheers

Jon isn't playing though?

 

[TigerAntho]

B: Chris Newman, Kelvin Moore, Alex Rance
HB: Tom Hislop, Luke McGuane, Dean Polo
C: Matt White, Shane Tuck, Andrew Collins
HF: Nathan Brown, Matthew Richardson, Joel Bowden
F: Mitch Morton, Jack Riewoldt, Brett Deledio
Foll: Troy Simmonds, Daniel Jackson, Nathan Foley
I/C: Daniel Connors, Jordan McMahon, Robin Nahas, Angus Graham

All great inclusions bar McMahon - he needs to show something or his career is surely finished. Youth is the way...and if there going to be competitive against any side it's melbourne.

Good to see Hislop getting another go...and Bowden looks like a sitting duck - where do we play hime - if at all???

 

[chrisjie]

It's really McMahon vs Tambling vs King vs Edwards. And I think it should stay that way. Best of those 4 should get a spot. If you're not the best of those 4, you don't get game. That simple.

 

[ize_]

I can see us dropping this one. Melbourne are a proud club and won't want to be losing the first four games of the year any more than we will. If they get the jump on us early their young players will be pumped and full of confidence, and we will be the opposite, back in our shells. I'm having painful visions. First 10 minutes is molto importante.

 

[getthefooty]

Ize they are shit. We aren't. We'll win. 100% we'll win.
