Cleanout Time

[Pera]

I think we need to target a quick, creative, crumbing small forward. I don't know why that means they have to be indigenous. That's neither here nor there.

It doesn't.

Just think it would be nice having a genuine x-factor like Cyril, Jetta etc.

Steele was out doing what every one is saying not to recruit Garlett over last night, FFS it's no big deal, he's just a young teen he will grow out of it in time anyway.

Agreed with the right support I would draft him.

As for last year the kid had to be sent a message to pull his head in, he has done so and therefor deserves a chance.

Are we the right club, I'd love to think so but I'm not so sure.

Are you being racist? Are you saying we should only target non-indigenous small forwards?

I've been hearing this throughout the year as well about Steele...

No prob's with that Loki,

The players sacrifice a lot during the season, I have no issues with them hitting the piss after the end of the season. Hitting it hard during though is another story for a well paid athlete let alone a kid hoping to be recruited.

What are these excesses in Steele's lifestyle that supporters should know about?

Do you trust what you've heard Sponge?

Just people, who i trust, who have seen him out and about (along with countless other AFL players).
I dont think it is a bad thing, they are just 20 somethings after all, and need to blow off steam somehow... provided they perform on the field and dont hurt anyone else off the field.
Might be nothing at all, just interesting another poster mentioned something and seemed similar to rumors that have been around.

My post wasn't to knock Steele more so to point out the ridiculous double standards being applied to Garlett.

Never entered my mind mate.

Steele has had a reasonable year however I thought he would go to another level and become a leader.

Carlton 91 Richmond 88 Holy Shit!

 

[loki04]

Juddy killing them, can't believe I'm actually going for Carltank for the benefit of my team of course.

 

[TheFreshBanana]

I'd prefer to have bragging rights than have a 1 higher pick in the draft. This will cap off a terrible weekend.

 

[CoreyBurnett1]

Carlton don't even deserve to be here!

If you had highlighted my last sentence you would have your answer.

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

I'd sooner be afflicted by plague than watch Carlton be successful.

Plague is not that bad now days, a course of antibiotics clears it up. Still life threatening if treated to late though.
I wouldn't mind Carlton winning for laughs, its not like they have any chance against Sydney.

 

[Eddierules]

We need to move big on a second key forward. Reid is good , but if he has games like he did tonight, its such a waste of his talent. We either need him down back or we actually utilize him more up forward and have cloke leading out to the flanks a bit more.

Would not consider trading sidey or brown. Ridiculous knee jerk reaction

think we saw the new setup sat night Keefe 2nd ruck fwd all we need now is a fwd coach against Swans prelim fnl last yr loved their Fwds blocking holding back their opponents so a teammate can mark making space for players to run into more or less doing everything we dont

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

3 of the 4 favourites got rolled this weekend.

Just goes to show how games are won and lost between the ears.

We have only ourselves to blame for all the vitriol and crap we will cop over the next week or so.

Hopefully McGuire, Pert and Buckley look at every viable option to strengthen the team and culture.

We need to be ruthless and look at getting the best trade results for Collingwood.

It's not 1 pick we are advantaged by 1-4 picks in every draft scenario.

Dekka and Rendell will be doing cartwheels in what is the first uncompromised draft in years.

All my mates are Essendon supporters so I got that as well!

Nah, we only have Eddie to blame.

I can see this is going to be my offseason gripe Fasolo is so overrated - there were some calling for him to be dropped before his injury because he's a selfish hog who doesn't do any defensive things - port showed how easy it is to walk out of backline today - Fasolo compounds that

Fasolo hasn't been a hog since his first year, last year he was passing it off quiet regularly. Kicks more than a goal a game whilst setting up teammates and using the ball well around the ground, also a really good mark and can tackle really well. Don't forget this is only his 3rd year of footy.. don't think he is overrated at all, has shown in his 2 years in the AFL he is a serious talent

Don't worry Richmond, proud of you for making the finals this year. Now you know what's required to play FINALS FOOTY FOR FOUR QUARTERS and that a loss will make you a better side next year. Probably 2-3 years away from being a quality side. You're a good side Richmond but not yet a quality side. There is a difference. Bigger, stronger and better in season 2014.


Plus it's all mental too and when challenged unfortunately we can't respond. Sad end to a good year. But the sun will shine tomorrow and it will be a new day and we will all move on.
