I just realised that Soldo was up against Longer, Pearce and Holmes and beat them all!!!!
Outside of Longer I'm not even sure if we are supposed to be impressed? Who are they?
Judging by the stats the forwards can't get involved as the ball doesn't get down there enough, same problem as the senior side.
Gallant loss. Lmfao they got butt ****ed like any other week. Oh but they were gallant.
The expectations are pretty low these days...
Be Impressed thats our only ruckman next year... actually I think its the only real ruckman we have on our list this year.
Really great to hear Soldo has developed a bit. I have to say from what I had seen from him at VFL level last year and from a few training sessions in the pre season, I did not think that he has the attributes to make it. Decent rucks are so few and far between that it is worth persisting with the younger ones as long as they are ticking a few basic boxes- tall, strong, competitive. Skill level can be sub par as long as you're giving a decent contest around the ground- let's face it, Goldstein is the bench mark but is an absolute 1 in a million freak. If you get a solid citizen then you've got to be happy.
Ah, yes, the eternal search for a half back flanker goes one and one, and on, and on, and on ..... and on! I do hope we find one soon, then our coaches can go back to paying some attention to the rest of the problems.Speaks volumes about us that we take a kid who boots three goals in his first AFL game and a week or two later he's banished to the back line.
Sam with Astbury - kicked three or four in his first outing and played most of his junior footy as a forward yet we quickly turned him into an average defender.
Hardwick is determined to be the first coach to win a game by kicking 4.3 while holding the opposition to three goals.

Can anyone confirm that Lennon threw a tanty and played out the game against coach's instructions and team plan?
I hear something went down.
Poor lad needs to get out of Richmond for his own good.

He didn't play did he? Lol
Bad information I got. Regardless, he needs to get out for his own good.

Gotta say he just keeps improving with every game. I thought last year he was no chance of making it, this year still think it unlikely but the odds are improving.
If he keeps this rapid improvement up then who knows. We are seeing Americans, Africans etc playing the game these days with no or little footy background, so whose to say he can't play at the top level.
He's still only a pup when he finishes growing he's going to be a big unit, and doesn't mind getting his hands dirty when the ball is on the ground either. Those type appeal to me as ruckman, give your mids a bit of assistance and protection.

And we can't even chalk this one up to our recruiters. As far as I can tell Ivan brought him to training one day and told the club to play him or he will break them..........or sth along those lines anyway
. Much like when we recruited Miles. Had nothing to do with talent spotting.

There's a full forward in the southern division of the Superules (over 35's) that is 160kgs. Kicked 2 on Sunday. Unstoppable.

Poor bloke, didn't even indulge in alcohol before he arrived at Punt Road
Hey, Macrae has been forced to edit his post and delete "great kick".
I credit you guys!
A worry though that 1. Macrae thinks Hunt is a great kick and 2. he has been forced into a humiliating backdown.
