[_007_]

Out: Spurr and Ibbotson.

In: Collins and Logue.

Sutcliffe for Ryan on the cards for the next few weeks.

 

[go_the_dockers]

Ryan was good today. Does he have the fitness to play next week? If so, Ibbotson out for Ryan.

 

[YelloMit]

[Scham]

Pearce in for either Langdon or Tucker.

Collins in for Ibbo

 

[meima]

Pearce in for either Langdon or Tucker.

Collins in for Ibbo

Luke Ryan , he is ready . I agree tucker need to develop his game like tab.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Ibbo out. It's time, he is a liability in defence nowadays. Spurr next in line but survives this week

 

[Clems Knee]

No changes unless forced by injuries.

 

[meima]

Collins for ibbo
Luke Ryan for tucker thus free up weller to wing .

Let collins take riedwolt and free up hamling taking second defender .

 

[Lach72]

Pearce in for either Langdon or Tucker.

Collins in for Ibbo

Out: Ibbo

All changes must be geared towards Ibbotson and Spurr out.

Having said that, I'm not sure Collins is the right replacement.

Perhaps Logue and Ryan ASAP

 

[Dump Truck]

I reckon Spurr did enough for another game. I'm definitely on the Collins for Ibbo bandwagon though!

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Spurr offers too much with his marking to drop him but I agree on Ibbo. Jack Riewoldt may have a field day next week, don't think we have a defender that can go with him.

Limit his impact , hamling can play small/medium also . Lets collins go with him .

We need to limit how much ball he's getting and how he's getting it first and foremost. But I just think if they're battering us with inside 50's, Jack may be too good for Hamling.

 

[Sweetback]

We need someone who can play on Martin when he's forward.

Mundy looks like he could do with a rest too.

Lets collins and hamling take turn on jack . Currently hamling just doing too much on his own . Johnson try very hard but he is very close to another injury if he is not managed .

 

[theGav56]

I think Richmond don't have enough tall forwards to warrant bringing Collins in. Ryan perhaps.

Don't get the calls for Tucker out? Thought he was composed and solid. Had 6 score involvements, 256 metres gained, and 6 marks and only made one mistake from memory. Compared to Langdon who only had 3 score involvements, 216 metres gained, 2 marks and had 3 turn overs. I don't think either should be dropped btw.

Spurr is annoying the heck out of me though. Had 19 disposals but only 3 intercepts, 3 score involvements, 1 inside 50 and just 157 metres gained for all his hard work. Ibbo not much better playing as the loose a fair bit and had just 5 intercepts, 5 score involvements, 1 inside 50 and 236 metres gained. Meanwhile the youngster Hughes, who I thought was solid but not as impactful as in our last game also had 5 intercepts, 5 inside 50s and 351 metres gained. I don't get why we continue to get the ball into the hands of Spurr and Ibbo when they are just so slow to move it on? Twice at the end of the third quarter Spurr took an eternity - the first when he marked in the middle and could have turned and run into a paddock but decided to hold the ball up and allowing their defenders to get back. And the second he has the ball, Hughes has a paddock on the wing and he doesn't even look and instead messes around, passes to Hill nearby and he then gets it to Hughes who by that time finally had a player on him. That slow ball movement is killing us because even if it doesn't end up in a turnover (which more often than not it does) we rarely score from it.

The sooner we get Ryan and then either Collins or Logue in for them the better for our future I think. I get the need for experience but Johnson is still there and Ryan and Collins are both mature players who are used to AFL opponents.

Collins to play intercept marker in the mould of McGovern. He has the tools.

 

[Quokka]

I think Richmond don't have enough tall forwards to warrant bringing Collins in. Ryan perhaps.

Would possibly bring Collins in for Ibbotson anyway, reward good WAFL form if nothing else, I'm sure they could find a role for him and it'd be fun to see how he reacts when Dusty gives him the don't argue.

 

[Dump Truck]

Ibbos brainfade in the second quarter where he gifted them a shot on goal (I can't remember if they converted) was just pathetic to watch. An AFL player should never look like the Auskick kids at halftime.

 

[TheMcManusNose]

Collins in for Ibbo.
