any ****ing danger of putting some work into our ground balls and fumbling, absolutely go to shit in the wet. in one passage of play shoota fumbled 3 times i reckon, if he picked any one of them up cleanly would have had a fantastic scoring opportunity from it

When was the last time switkowski had a good game? He’s never been a stats player but even in the winning run he had 0 impact

Been awhile since he had a really strong game.

He's a forward in theory only. Getting real tired of these 'pressure forwards' around the league who don't actually kick goals. You ain't a forward if you can't hit the scoreboard mate.

Don't really care about the fight back tbh, we just lost at home against a s**t football team.

Finals are pretty much gone now you'd think, what a ****ing waste of a season.

If they can't get the wet weather game together fast then they're not serious about winning a premiership, just ****ing fix it

Would Geelong, Suns, etc be saying its a waste of a season and they're not making finals, they are 1 game out of the 8 like us.

I still think lil bro is closer to getting delisted then getting another contract. Bloke just has no real strengths to his game.

Who got Richmond's first goal and who was his direct opponent, yes Henry. If you watch him around stoppages he actually just wanders around, hardly ever picks up a man and just occupies space. I would rather play Draper at the moment instead of Henry.

Losing at home to a bottom 4 team. So freo

Lol, I know this is the melt thread, but no way Richmond are a bottom 4 team. They're very much contending for those bottom final spots with us.

Maybe if our posters watched other games and gave other teams the credit they deserved we wouldn't need to melt as often.

Port and well and truly above the rest of the pack. Anyone can see that. Yet they only just got over Richmond by 7 points. Richmond have been playing a lot better recently.

Disappointing outcome and in a real pressure game the usual suspects emerge, We are no where near a good hard team .Players who can't handle the big time Banfield ,Walker Sturt , Fredricks,Henry are just wafl players and are all found wanting when the tough get going

did you think that when we played Geelong and Melbourne?

Yeah that was champagne WAFL from him.

Got lost trailing a non threatening player outside D50 and then left his man wide open behind him inside 50 with no awareness as the bloke just shifted back into space for the hit up 30m out. Shithouse.

He's like a softer, more ineffective Brad Hill on his worst day. Allergic to contact.
 
Imagine not playing Erasmus... yes I was hoping he was playing better at wafl but he's shown some very good promise

And instead using Walters as a sub who's a gun

And choosing two other forwards instead of a mid when we lost O'Meara and Darcy

Of course we lost

But yeah what would I know. Sturt did one good thing and Henry nothing

The Walters sub thing is so frustrating. I swear since that bloody sub rule came in it’s just handed conservative coaches like JL an even bigger excuse to sit on the fence at selection time.

Let’s be clear on some things here
- Walters is either fit or he’s not. He had a calf injury. Now, his calf has not just “healed” enough to play one and a half quarters, but not 4.
If he was fit to play a quarter, he was fit to play 4.
  • is Sonny in the best 6 forwards at the club? Of ****ing course he is!
  • NEVER EVER should [PLAYERCARD]Michael Walters[/PLAYERCARD] be the sub again!!!
  • I’m convinced if he’d been on the field in the opening quarter we’d have more than 9 points on the board.
  • that’s now two winnable games we have dropped this year at home while sonny spent most of the game in the stands watching inferior players battling away to try impact their scoreboard.
  • not good enough by the MC.

Saying Walters would have changed the result is laughable, hes far past his prime and probably in the last or 2nd last year of his career. We still would have lost.

Yes Tigers have been going much better since Hardwick left which is very interesting.

Walters is going at close to 2 goals a game this year and that includes two games as sub. He absolutely could have changed the result. We lost by three goals and dominated the start of the game with nothing to show for it. I’m sure if sonny was there we would have had at least a couple more. Hasn’t missed a set shot all year.

From what we have seen of Sturt he doesnt look to be up to it at AFL but looking through the Peel side today we dont really have a 3rd forward at the moment ready to go.
People will laugh but Darling would be ideal for us as that 3rd forward helping Amiss and Treacy he is superbly fit and I think you will find he could still kick 30 or 40 goals in our side next season worth trying for a premiership tilt in next 2 seasons.
They also need to start playing Erasmus we are going to need midfield depth to beat Port their midfield depth is out of control.

I hope it’s the later. Signed on till the end of 2025.

I think Sonny is good for another couple and believe like others he should have started the match.

Completely missing the point. Is he in the best 22 or is he not?
Without question he is.
Was he fit? Yes, clearly his calf was fine and so he could have played the full game.

So coaches should then make the hard call - put him back in the 22 and drop a lesser player to the bench.
If there’s one thing I cannot stand it’s coaches who “won’t change a winning team”.
Even at that it wasn’t too late - he could have come on in Q2 yesterday. Several guys were already having stinkers by then yet he sits on the sideline kicking his heels.
