He'll be hoping weYou can never replace like for like but bloody hell this is as close to it as you get
Yes, he’ll be back
We know what Fort can do. May fluke a reasonable game now and then but he is a couple of rungs below Stanley. On his day Stanley is tier 1 but we know he is inconsistent. Fort is Tier 3 and may achieve tier 2 occassionaly.Then Neale can play ruck in the VFL and everyone is happy
If only common sense could actually happenThen Neale can play ruck in the VFL and everyone is happy
Yes they have enviable depth despite their injuries. Cotchin being out in particularly is good for us. Gone past Selwood as a captain and in toughness I would’ve thought.
You get more ridiculous in your posts as the months go on. Thank god you left the srp board and now just hover here.I will just start off by asking first, what aspect exactly of richmonds game do you think is attacking?? Every aspect of their game has defense first and foremost ingrained in it. From their structures to ball movement. They are the most defensive team in the AFL.
Started well last year then faded. Hopefully he can keep it up.I would have agreed with you last year but Selwood has been amazing this year so far.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion - but that is utter rubbish
Watch the 1st 5-7 minutes of the 3rd qtr against Footscray -( their 3 goals down at h/time ) it was all out attack - the ball didnt go up Footscrays end
I was financially invested in Rich - thus i was cheering it on - its move the ball super quickly- just a wave of them in link play ( Bolton was the architect ) and as a result put the oppo defence under extreme pressure - Dogs didnt know what hit them - and couldnt handle it
Rich have done that to Geel ( 3rd qtr of the 19 prelim ) and other sides - yet you say they are the most defensive team in the AFL !!! - they are polar opposite to your view
Thats why Rich are so dangerous - and hard to beat - because they are so ATTACKING . Alot of teams - past and present when they get in front - might have a 2-3 goal handy lead - theyd just then play tempo football - just milk/run down the clock - keep their lead but not score - not be interested in scoring
Richmond dont do that - they continually try to kick goals - and the opposition team has to combat that for the whole game
You get more ridiculous in your posts as the months go on. Thank god you left the srp board and now just hover here.
what exactly is your relationship with Chris Scott?
moving the ball quickly into your foward line is now a Defensive strategy. Wow.Refer to previous post, couldnt give a sh*t about your frustrated comments because i continuously get the better of you on footy topics we discuss so you get personal.
Dont rewrite history, we lost Vlastuin at the exact same time as Ablett's injury (Ablett only missed 20 minutes or so) Houli for us then pinged his calf minutes later and Parfitt broke his finger. That'd be two injuries each right? The only other injury was Simpson being KO'd by Menegola with 7 minutes to go when the game was already won.It would be nice if we got some good luck this week, as opposed to the GF when Richmond stormed away and we lost the GOAT to injury. You could argue that great teams make their own luck, but it just feels like we haven't had any help from the footy Gods in recent years. Would be nice to see how Richmond would cope with 2 down on the bench all game.

LOL and Hawkins ended up being a real difference maker in last years GF & R17And were you missing Lynch in the 2019 prelim to even out Hawkins not playing?

The added bonus is Hawkins was in better form last year than 2019 and we still beat you twice

Ok you were right on the earlier point about the grand final injuries hitting both sides equally but not this one. Geelong beat you by 11 goals when Hawkins was playing. Hawkins kicked 4 goals.LOL and Hawkins ended up being a real difference maker in last years GF & R17

Bit cheeky to include Hawkins missing through a silly suspension in a conversation about Richmond having more luck with injury imo.
Nah, the post I quoted was about us not having 'luck from the footy gods' the last couple of times we've played Richmond in finals. We can debate whether Hawkins' suspension was warranted or not - FWIW I thought it went against the AFL's unwritten rule of leniency in finals (see Cotchin not being suspended for 2017 GF when that would have been a suspension in any other week of the year) - but either way missing your AA FF in the biggest game of the year and having to play a defender forward in his role is the definition of the footy gods not smiling down on you.
We were also missing Duncan for the 19 prelim who was clearly a huge loss, one of our more durable players over the past decade but got injured in the QF and missed the rest of the finals. Just shocking luck.
He'll be hoping we

Vlastuin ain't no Ablett, mate. Never has been, never will be. Same with everyone else in your squad.Dont rewrite history, we lost Vlastuin at the exact same time as Ablett's injury (Ablett only missed 20 minutes or so) Houli for us then pinged his calf minutes later and Parfitt broke his finger.

Luck had nothing to do with them winning the GF.It would be nice if we got some good luck this week, as opposed to the GF when Richmond stormed away and we lost the GOAT to injury.

With all due respect.... Vlaustin was going way better than the 36yr old version of Ablett @ the time.Vlastuin ain't no Ablett, mate. Never has been, never will be. Same with everyone else in your squad.
