Foley is Elite

[The Rusty Trombone]

Great game by him last night. Every time Bomber Thompson rested him The Dream Team kept getting back into the game. The secrets out now. The whole football world now know what us Tigers supporters have known for 2 years, that Foley is a genius and only getting better. About Time

 

[richois god]

He is a gun and he showed the football world what he can do, he out played some of the more high profile players.

By far the shortest thread title you've ever made TT.

Foley is a gun and I'm glad he did well last night...Stick it right up em Axle!

 

[CoggaRules]

yeah he looked real good breaking the lines and kicking it to Fev didnt he?

 

[doggiesin08]

Agreed, was very very good last night. I had a bit of trouble working him out with Joel Selwood as they looked quite similar from my seat, so i just waited for the outcome of the disposal and if it was good it was Foley, however thats just as much a crack at Selwood at stages last night.

But seriously I was VERY dissappointed in Richardson last night. Was expecting a lot from him and thought he was quite poor to be honest. Just seemed unable to hang onto marks at stages.

well it was'nt exactly the most team oriented game and cooney did bugger all,richo had more disposals.

 

[anti.]

yeah i dont think richo was used well.

i thought the Vics defense was shaky besides scarlett. williams didnt utilise that.

 

[doggiesin08]

That could be because Cooney has had a well documented injury and spent bugger all time on the ground. And my post was nothing to do with comparing my team to yours. You can be dissappointed with what you saw from Cooney if you want. All I'm saying is Richo not being injured with plenty of game time just didn't seem to play well at all. I'm not saying he's a s*** player, i'm just saying he played a s*** game.

 

[richois god]

i suppose it was down on his recent form but it was'nt s##t played better than mooney and pav.I don't have anything against cooney i actually like watching him play but i was'nt paying that much attention to him so did'nt realise he was not 100% and get much game time,its just that i don't like people bagging richo.

I thought Richo had an Okay game. He was not amoungst the best on ground but he played his part.

 

[JSFish]

____ing hell. If you actually watched the game you would've noticed that it was sorta hard to be playing out of the goalsquare when Franklin was having pot shots from 60 every time and Davis was trying impossible goals from the boundary. Did anyone see when Franklin gave away a 50 in the Vics forward 50 by having a shot from the boundary? When he did that, Rico was in the goal square all by himself, but Franklin still had a shot, and in the end it rolled in the near points. Even though it was a free, Franklin didn't know this, and still had a shot and ____ed it up. You could just tell Richo was getting arked, but knew he couldn't get pissed cos it wasn't an important game or anything. I just felt so sorry for him, constantly being ignored.

Were cooney and griffen playing last night? Hardly sighted either of them. Very disappointing.

 

[Jisha]

I do not know why you are all off replying with 'Cooney and Griffin' were barely seen, just because a bulldogs fan said he was dissapointed with Richo's effort. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and that did not deserve child retaliation about some of his own players.

Richo was ok last night, but I have seen him play much better in the yellow and black this year.

 

[doggiesin08]

Thanks Jisha. Yeah the reason I was dissappointed in Richo was largely due to the hype surrounding him recently. I agree we people being dissappointed in Cooney if they went to the game expecting big things from him but certainly is sounding more like a retalliation.

 

[doggiesin08]

jeez guys i'm not saying richo is bad, i'm saying IMO he played a bad game last night. that is all.

 

[sarah.13]

If there was one Richmond player I would like at Geelong, it would be Foley.
He's tough, very quick,uses the ball well and a determined little bugger.Very similar to a young Brent Harvey, great little player.
You've got a good one there.

you obviously didn't watch cooney,the invisible man last night.
good to see foley playing well,as there many so called experts who thought he shouldn't be in the side

But they didn't question why Waite and Croad were in the side.

i saw that. they played for themselves. thats why i dont think much of buddy, prefer richo everydai.

 

[waiting since 80]

To be honest...i too thought Richo's game could of been better, though Williams probably used him wrong and we don't know the game plan? players at times ignored some of his leads as if he was a decoy? and i don't blame you Doggies 08 of expecting more of Richo cause of the build up that he got this week was a bit over the top.Anyway IMO he had a pretty good game...When everyone was expecting a BLINDER.

On the Sunday Footy Show today, Jonathon Brown singled out Foley as the best of the young guns playing in that game. He spent a good few minutes pumping him up. Great to hear
