RICHMOND
v St Kilda, Monday 2.10pm, Telstra Dome
Big man Ray Hall will be relieved to play his 50th game for the Tigers this weekend after an injury-hit 2003 season. Danny Frawley and his men should get a good idea of where they sit on the AFL pecking order this season when they meet the in-form Saints.
Training: Friday, 11am; Sunday, 11am, Punt Road Oval.
Injuries: Kellaway (hamstring) 2 weeks; Marsh (groin) 1 week; Rogers (knee) 2 weeks; Nicholls (buttock) 1 week.

Dont count your chickens before they hatch...

In: Schultz
Out: Hall

Down right embarassing on Friday night and deserves to be dropped this week. Anyone who lets Dutchy Holland kick three goals on them in a half, should get their marching orders.

Very unaccountable player!

Ray Hall should have been let go at the end of last season. He isn't accountable enough and not very skillfull. Sadly, this is a common problem in the richmond team.

Last year on another board i bagged the **** out
of razor but after i saw the way he was treated by
Miller and Sheedy during the draft i decided to support the guy.

I think Holland would have beaten Gasper,Kellaway,who-ever
on Friday night.Melbourne were creating stuff everywhere
so i dont blame him for that.

Good on him for 50.

I wont be calling him a dud until about rd 10 :D

Ox, stay off the valium. He's a dud. Doesnt have a football bone in his body. Neither does Richo, but at least he used to be athletic before he needed a bra.

Cant for the life of me understand why they just didnt let him go to Sydney. He just looks lost on the football field.

Nice kid but not AFL standard. Just like his big brother Spud.

Has done a few reasonable jobs down back occasionally but I don't think we can rely on him to be a key defender week in week out though.

Another one of his major problems he seems to be such a slow decision maker when he has the ball he either gets tackled or he just gets a disposal away but it is effected by the pressure he gets put under by taking so long to decide what to do with the ball.

He takes too long to make a decision when he's got the ball because he doesnt have a football brain. Just like his mentor Spud when he played.

Spud never kicked a footy when he played. He didnt know how to do anything more than hold the full forward's shorts and stop him taking a mark.

On the one occasion I saw him with the ball in his hands, he kicked the ball out on the full. I know this not because of football knowledge, but because I have eyes in my head.

And he keeps players like Ray Hall around because they remind him of his playing days, not because they make a contribution.
