Riewoldt Dropped ?

[PLSC]

haha great to see all the pre season talk coming into action and turning out like it was always going to

kingsley getting games before hughes and jack which is plain bullshit

dont be upset this is what you all wanted!

it would be a joke if it wasnt so pathetic to begin with!

 

[RichosGuns]

Mills is out for Brisbane which is good, this should free Schultz up more... i reckon he was selected on the cotails that he kicked 6 against them what....4 years ago. Shouldn't have been called up IMO, would have preferd Huges to come in as he showed alot more in the pracy match.

With Schultz and Kingsley line up at FF and the Foward pocket expect to see either:
a) alot of long kicks into the 50 and alot of goals
b) Schultz, Richo and Kingsley not marking, and it being bought to ground and Brisbane rebound and kick lots of goal

BTW, i am happy that White is in as he has been good at Coburg and in the praccy game. Suprised that Hyde wasn't include though for Meyer as they play similar roles. Maybe White will be played as a tagger

 

[Truetiger]

i hope your right with krakouer on that one.

Krakouer was always going to be dropped this week. Last week was as good as his last game
Jack should never of been dropped

 

[Footynut08]

i think he should be still in the lineup.. if there talking bout his the future of the richmond football club why not play him and get some experience into em.. its not really gunna effect us at the moment when we are 0-9...

 

[Madtiger2006]

No use playing Reiwoldt. He had his taste and isn't ready yet. He's only bloody 18. Schultz only had 1 bad game and was probably only dropped to give reiwoldt his taste of the seniors

Your right so how about we leave Johnson in the side and not bring a kid in to replace him

no in this case the kid would do a better job than johnson, but reiwoldt wouldn't do a better job than schultz

 

[Bazzar]

Schulz playes well againsed the Lions They will struggle to match up on Richo, KK and Sarge. No wonder we have been the most heavily backed team with center bet this week

 

[NICK94]

Why is it all because he was a talent in the VFL he needs to play every game that comes his way? Dont think he will go far, didnt show nearly as much talent as everyone "phropesised". Think we need to play some of the more experienced forwards like pettifer, schultz, richo and Pat Bowden, and as KK did an awesome job for his first game in midfield would like to see his goalkicking skills put to test. if reiwoldt is only an emergency so be it. he aint gonna be a champion by round 22, some things take time.

 

[MartinLutherWallace]

Jack's a hack...

 

[Rainsy]

Is Chris Hyde still sore with that back that kept him out last week or is he just omitted this week?

 

[NICK94]

think just an omit. hows richo with his eye? doesnt concern me too much seeing as he was playing just as well last week.

and as KK did an awesome job for his first game in midfield

wake up to yourself

i'll take option A, please.

He played last week and was a clear class above everyone and dominated apparently.

Schulz did nothing and got promoted

 

[Truetiger]

Yeah he is a hack alright. Has played VFL Football for many seasons and has played 1 game with Richmond he is only young. I guess you have done more then that at the top level have you? I think not if anyone is a hack here its you.. In fact you most likely could not get a kick in an under 12's game hence why you never made it to the top level you idiot.

for the record - despite jay's (apparently) endlessly impressive 5 goal haul against the lions way back in 1963..... how well has he played againt them overall? whats the stats? also, who was his opponent - because i bet neither of them would still be there

he has been around for a log time now - kicking a reasonable bag against a team 4-5years ago doesn't really amount to him having a "good record"

anyone got the complete stats of schulz v the lions?

Not the figures of a bloke that even seems to be improving and going to be a real player.

i thought this seasons stats on average look better than his previous?

 

[Rancid_Beasties]

Until schulz is getting 5-10 marks, 10-15 disposals and 3 goals per week, i dont think he should be "gifted" a spot. His inclusion this week is ludicrous. Why did we drop hughes again? One game where he didnt bag 3?

Schulz has played 45 games and kicked only 3 bags of 3 or more and also has only got more than 12 possessions twice.
Cleve has played 6 games and bagged 3 twice! Cleve has also got above 12 possessions twice!

I dont care if schulz has been rotated through defence, when it comes down to it cleve hughes is 10 times better than schulz and we gotta realise from a membership perspective he is going to be our next posterboy, so get him out on the park!

Interesting comparison. Schulz had better pull the finger out or he wont be with us next year. He did look ok in the first 3 or 4 games even though he didnt set the world on fire. There is no doubt he has the talent, but seems to lack the desire

 

[_RT_]

IIRC Hughes was injured early in the season and was probably struggling for fitness a little. Remember the commentators mentioning he was blowing quite hard in the WCE & Cats games when he put in a few efforts.

Think we will see him back after the split round as Wallace will most likely begin the process of culling the useless.

 

[Deledio_Judd]

Riewoldt should be in our side every game no matter what except injury we need to give the guy some experience so he can turn it on next season!.
