VFL Round 6 v Box Hill Hawks, Saturday, May 3, 7:10pm AEST, Kinetic Stadium.

Now onto the Umpire derby game.

 

[voorhees]

How’d Smillie go in the last?

How’d Clarke go in general?

Clarke did very well
good with ball in hand
building the tank.. few more runs through the vfl and were good

 

[Coach_Required]

I thought it was. Made absolutely no effort to get rid of it when he could have quite easily.

He only just grabbed it, no prior and had an opponent sit on his back. Happy to agree to disagree

 

[Danog]

Free kick count?

deep throat that dawks

 

[Karp3_dm]

Huge effort to respond from last weeks belting to knock off the top team

So many good signs

We gonna be king again in no time

 

[Danog]

I'd like to just delist Colina now. OHB at least shows SOMETHING.

 

[Timothy Luncheon]

That's a great win. Really pleased with the fightback in the last.

Those calling for Batch to get sacked should be pretty embarrassed TBH. Were currently 4th on the ladder and have won 4 from 6.

Don't think anyone was saying Batch should get sacked lol

Farkin LOL.
10 to 9 Hawks way half time.

 

[Coach_Required]

alger would get a game next week if he could get his defensive game up from zero, hope hes got it in him

Has that hunger 100% does need to work on fitness and defensive efforts

OHB wasn't sighted after qtr time. Colina hasn't been sighted in 4 years.

 

[sanaya]

gotta say, was pissed that we have a bye next week, but after seeing that 2nd half... maybe the boys do need a rest

were not obligated to play him, i dont know why he isnt playing the lower league. if were honest ohb isnt much better. neither of them are ever going to be AFL level footballers, it's the countries elite level you cant just bring in random tall guys from other sports and expect miracles. nfi why we've persisted this long with better state league players running around every week.

 

[voorhees]

McAuliffe had a big one - needed to and got to work. good boy!
smith was busy
judson impressive
sonsie..up and down, but got alot of ball
Smillie..needs more fitness base
Bauer..another disappointing game,just can't click into gear

Bye bye Richmond bye bye Batchelor

Sack Batchelor.

Shit footballer shit coach

Don't think anyone was saying Batch should get sacked lol

See above

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Great win. Nearly lost at the selection table, can’t keep going with Colina/OHB.
Great signs from Clarke
MCAullife was huge after quarter time
Smith - very good 4Q effort, barely made a mistake.
Alger , just a natural forward. Is having an excellent debut season. Not ready yet imo, needs to build his tank.
Smillie looked out of sorts tonight, started ok, but went missing for a large chunk of the game. Had some clearances in the last, but no way is he ready for a promotion.

He isnt. There's better ruckman running around in the Northern Football League.

Not joking.

smilie looks totally different to the player we got excited about in preseason training clips. need to just get the magnifying glass off him for a few months I reckon he must be coming from further back than we thought.

 

[Danog]

Play OHB and Sims rotating thru the ruck. Send Colina to the Ammos.

At least we wouldn't be so top-heavy and could pick another runner.

 

[captain blood 17]

We keep nearly ****ing ourselves taking blokes out of the game to be the reserve players for the ones. Cost us 2 weeks ago with Sonsie and nearly did again tonight.
Fantastic response to beat an undefeated team after a 120 point loss last weekend.
And to think we got more players to come back. Great early signs.
But, why the questions about Smillie? How did Tauru go?

 

[PetterdHoisted]

if Kano is not selected for AFL next week...there could be a riot

Play Sims and Ryan through the ruck. Delist Colina and OHB.

 

[Tigerish09]

One of the all-time worst performances from a Richmond footballer M Colina, 1 disposal and 1 hit-out. If he hadn't been injured we may well have lost this. Hayes-Brown not much better, surely there are AFL ruckmen from other sides not getting match time that we can entice. Also sick of Bauer's petulance, needs a complete mental re-set, otherwise delist. Smith and McAuliffe class above the rest, Alger and Raso pretty good too.

Better than not giving them any game time at all, like Hawks did with Jai Serong.

At the end of the day, they're there to service the seniors, not the twos.
