Preview Round 19 - Richmond VS GWS - Saturday July 30 13:45

[Caveman68]

What's the benefit of playing guys you're going to delist?

McBean is gone..This was his last change, and Castagna would be unlikely to be kept on.

Please don't apply for the soon to be vacant list manager position.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

The more Mcbean plays seniors the less chance there is of the already slim hope that we would get some sort of low end pick for him.
Let prospective suitors imagination run free if he manages to kick a few in the twos rather than expose him once and for all.

 

[Valixir]

Sitting here laughing at all the campaigners sooking about Vickery. You're correct he is awful but did you expect us to go in with only one ruckman? It was either Vickery or Maric.

 

[theyellowsash]

The only logic I can think of with Castagna is that he's shown enough to get spot on the senior list next year so he wants to find out about Marcon. I can live with that. If thats what he's thinking. Yes.

could have just left castagna in the team instead of bringing in dud lambert

so all of a sudden we can't play three talls? We've been doing it for most of the year

 

[telsor]

Yeah, far better to keep the BF mantra.

Delist anyone in the 1s, don't watch the 2s, but rave about how good they are, promote them to the 1s at even the slightest opportunity and keep them there until BF turns on them too.

 

[axel2cotch2lids]

Hopefully these changes are try t0 inflate the trade value of Vickery and Houli.

I'm going up to Canberra to watch this train wreck. Will be great to watch Houli fumble the ball at will under the slightest hint of pressure, and watch Vickery bumble around like its a game of park footy.

It obvious that there is something wrong at the club and misguided faith in players like these from the coaching staff is staggering.

And I know stats will say Vickery is better than what he appears, but it way he gets those goals and marks etc which will never stand up in finals footy.

We have brought in a fumbler and a bumbler.

And they are supposed to be some of our better players.

I have had a gutful.

[telsor]

About time we stopped.

We haven't been playing 3 tall forwards, we've been playing 2 with Jack as a tall midfielder who rests forward.

Dump the 3rd tall 'forward', play Jack forward and play an actual midfielder in the midfield.

Well we know the last sentence wont happen

we are not getting anything for mcbean, regardless of where or how he plays. any club that really does want him will rookie him after we delist him. any club would be foolish to trade anything for him. just imagine how angry we would be if we payed anything for a 4th year skinny forward who cant mark and has kicked 1 goal in 6 or so games.

 

[Rubber Hips]

McBean was playing as 3rd tall, and much of the time didn't have an opponent as they knew he wasn't going to hurt them.

Ty at least demands they match up on him. (and can cover in the ruck)


edited to add...from the match report..

The ball was stuck in the Hawks F50 most of the game...

Half our side didn't demand a match up...
...and don't start me on Ty's ruck work...

 

[telsor]

Well we know the last sentence wont happen

Well, we've dumped the 3rd tall forward, so there is some hope.

 

[Groupie_]

Also Arseberry was shocking on Sunday. Should be out for Carbon Rod or Batchelor/Elron

theres a reason why weve never beaten a decent side when he's played 1s

 

[Rubber Hips]

And 153.77

What does that represent?

Is it how many times he's rolled his eyes?

 

[telsor]

...and don't start me on Ty's ruck work...

I was referring to all 3 games he's played.

Because you've got a really selective memory?

Tyrone ' ruckman' Vickery's last 9 games....amassed a total of 7 hit outs campaigner

 

[Caveman68]

Delist anyone in the 1s, don't watch the 2s, but rave about how good they are, promote them to the 1s at even the slightest opportunity and keep them there until BF turns on them too.

I wouldn't delist anyone 22 and under until we fix our FD and more specifically development.

Hasn't Griff been the second ruck most of those games?

 

[Rubber Hips]

I was referring to all 3 games he's played.

So to be fair...randonly select 3 of Tyrones games as a comparison ...maybe his VFL games?

Face it....Tyrone is a prick tease for a round 1 (pick8) draft pick that's played over 100 games

Both will be gone at seasons end (hopefully in regards to Ty)

 

[Rubber Hips]

Hasn't Griff been the second ruck most of those games?

Has he? What does that tell us? Tyrone can't ruck?

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Please not Batchelor. If we are ever going to play a more attacking style we can't play him, just gives nothing offensively.

 

[guruisatiger]

Cameron - LOBB - Tomlinson - Patton. All named in the Giants fwd 50.
They could do a Geelong round 6- 2007 to us. Over 100 points we will be obliterated
