Now Roughead...

[Wally Matera]

Already snagged 5... the jungle drums are beating.

Can we be kicked any harder whilst we're down?

 

[Ando_4]

Yep gutting ain't it.

 

[Ceriouss]

Yeah, good move tigers. We don't need any key position players lets get some small outside midfielders that can't put on any bulk.

 

[banana_bus]

shut the **** up we dont care.

Stop this crap. We had no option on this one unless you'd prefer roughead over deledio.

What a load of crap. Everyone is an expert in hindsight aren't they? Are you actually admitting you'd have Roughead over Lids?

 

[Ando_4]

Stop this crap. We had no option on this one unless you'd prefer roughead over deledio.

That's a fair point. Extremely happy with Deledio so far and it is only Carlscum.

 

[krustyman]

No more slightly built drafts for the tigers, strong bodied players are the way to go. tambling need to step up. it is so bulldog!

 

[Jisha]

Stop this crap. We had no option on this one unless you'd prefer roughead over deledio.

Spot on. Give me a Lids then a roughead anyday. Lids shows so much more then roughead on a good day

 

[jackson_rules]

Its not roughead being better then lids and its not franklin being better tambling either, its the fact thos 2 have support ours dont, you tossers sooking over this need to grow up

Kind of irrelevant considering it's not like Roughead would snag 5 playing for Richmond at the moment. Hell any AFL standard forward tonight would of kicked at least 3 or 4 playing against those defenders with that dominance in the midfield.

 

[DannyJ]

Look on the bright side, Buddy couldn't get a kick tonight

 

[PLSC]

love the roughnut!

 

[Calcium Man]

I was at the game and the carlton defending was woeful. Played on fatman whitnall first. Then on saddington. As carlton have proved throughout 2007 they are a very easy team to score against.

 

[Calcium Man]

He would have run amuck tonight. Carlton should be thankful he didnt play or it would have made our loss to geelong look good.

 

[Wally Matera]

Absolutely agree, never would've picked Roughead over Lids, but for God sake, do we need to see this shit continue.

I just hate Whoreforn.

 

[Ah Cheung]

Happy we got lids rather than roughead...sure, he's kicked 5 tonite, but thats probably his best game so far? lids has been way more consistent.

 

[Terry Tan]

Big mistakes have been made, as usual with the Richmond Footy club.

You have to admit both Richmond and Hawthorn probably started from the same low position when Wallace & Clarkson took over.

Wallace decided to do a half job of rebuilding, saying he did not believe in bottoming out. We finished mid ladder for a few years.

Clarkson took the tough option, traded senior players for picks, took the medicine, and now they are a formidable emerging team...while we languish down the bottom with no wins.

A tale of two teams.

Nothing will overcome taking Fiora for Pavlich, and Tambling for Franklin. I know it's tough on the young fella Tambling, but he's not the player Franklin is or will be. Everytime Pav or Buddy get anywhere near the ball we are brutally reminded, and the hype is just overbearing. Death by a thousand cuts.

but that's life at RFC, simply incompetent for a quarter century.

 

[Darth_Tiger]

franklin was considered a big risk, and well done to the hawks, it payed off for them - not that he was thier target, they wanted us to take him so they could get tambling at 5. lucks a fortune (which makes the rfc the poorest thing in existance). the hawks had more middle bracket players for clarkson to work with, so now they are a ballanced unit. we had a glaring hole in that bracket and still do. and now we pay the price for our lack of vision.

 

[Bifrost]

Grow up.

/thread.

 

[emperor]

Let's not start this whole rebuilding process comparison again We know what has happened, what has been done wrong and what needs to be done. Relieving GM of some of his roles is the start. Move forward people.

 

[Simche]

So what? People are forgetting things like Schultz against Brisbane conveniently. More to the point a forward who kicks 5 in a 100 point thrashing would hardly be doing his job if he didn't kick that many. Also it's not like the Carlton backline were putting much pressure on him.

 

[TigerGlory]

If we had picked Franklin over Tambling the same thing would have happened.

Franklin would be shit, and Tambling would be tearing the game a new one.

 

[krustyman]

franklin is a champion and would do well anywhere, he dont need his team mates to prop him up like tambling.

 

[bomberstomake8]

franklin is a champion and would do well anywhere, he dont need his team mates to prop him up like tambling.

personally i disagree if he played for essendon for example he would be somewhere like courtney johns at the momment imo... perhaps slightly better
dont get me wrong buddy is a gun player but i think he is still made to look better by a very good midfeild and a lack of other elite forwards..

you chuck him alongside lloyd and lucas and put him in a average to poor midfeild that the bombers have and i think he would not do anywhere near aswell...

but considering that he is only a 3rd year player and is only what 20 years old? he would still be above expectations.
