Do you need me to? Happy to do so if it will make you happier.

Well we both want richmond to win. But surely even you see now theres no room for him in the 22 even if the cupboard is bare. See what happens when we play guys like sonsie. No harm bringing any other youngster with upside now eg banks, brown, m rioli

 

[TigerImposter]

It's Dimma's fault for selecting him. Why was Dow dropped before him?

 

[Daka]

He isn't the reason we lost the game but he is the reason we could have won the game, he just isn't a smart player.
Was not brave enough to take the set shot like Anderson last week because he knows deep down his skills are not up to scratch.

Sliding doors moment , could have righted some wrongs kicking the winning goal.

He didn’t

Development
Dow will learn more playing in the vfl as a starting inside mid than he would being a sub who might not even get on the green stuff

I have never said Aarts should be in the team so no idea why you are addressing your Aarts anger to my posts. I like the idea of playing the young players but you play them when they are ready and not before or they get slaughtered. Aarts is nowhere near an AFL footballer but we just don’t have much alternative mature depth on the list, this is the obvious reason he has been getting some games.

We would all have chosen for Aarts to go back and calmly take that shot in the moment. He made an error but he wasn’t Robinson Crusoe that is for sure.

The club when it goes shopping this year probably needs to target a couple of mature depth players, and of course all the young guys will be a year older next year. Guys like Sonsie, he is not going to be a consistently good AFL player for years yet. But I am perfectly happy with the way the club is managing the youngsters at this point.

Spot on TI, Dimmas obsession with Aarts and Castagna is now costing us games.

Lol mate give it up. Youre still defending having him in the 22. Re read your posts, you come up with all the reasons like we have no other options. hes not up to it and WE do have other options by giving other guys opportunities to others as shown by bringing in sonsie

 

[DickieKnee]

The bloke may give 100% effort but it's been proven time again he is not AFL standard. His decision making is putrid.

 

[Boston tiger]

Was a bit stiff. Saw that his player hadn’t kept his feet and thought he was clear and was going to make it a certainty. Not that simple in the AFL.

 

[BF Tiger]

Yes blame him but who was the di$khead running past calling for it?
Any chance in telling him tho take the kick….they knew how long was left.
Just a dumb bloody club that doesn’t address glaring issues

There was no-one running past calling for it.

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

He’s 27 years old! if he’s not up to the standard now, he never will be!

No more role players!

Dow was awful v GC but agree I would have gone Dow before Aarts

 

[DickieKnee]

why did he play on , im so dne with this game and this team

No confidence in his ability with the set shot.

 

[living_in_syd]

He didnt want to take the set shot and would have embarrassed himself even more. Took the easy way out.

Same old story will happen. Thursday teams will see him ommited and then he will magically reappear as medi sub on match day. We never learn.

 

[crackertiger]

Don't worry they will drop him this week for sure...




Castagna will play Sub instead.
