There would be some punters here I reckon champing at the bit to hang crap on the club for this decision after young Ivan Soldo goes kickless in his first Aussie rules outing in his life this weekend in muddy conditions at Morwell. Slagging off the club is a fetish for some people on here.

Anyone else surprised at the disenchantment towards the club at the moment? Bad form lapses and injuries to ruckman, key midfielders and key position defenders have crueled us but we haven't been in such a good position to bounce back from a poor year in years. Off field we're flying. People...

Be interesting to see if we have a similar year and the club panics and sacks another coach or if we can hold our nerve. Hardwick has another 7 games of his 5th year to go. Bomber Thompson got Geelong 10 wins in his 7th year. Can we hold our nerve? Time will tell!

Considering we made the finals last year with a young list I think Thomas will still be around for our next finals appearance which you'd predict is likely to be 2015 depending how our young blokes like Miles, Cotch, Jack, Vlas, Dusty, Astbury, Conca, McBean, Lennon, Vick, Griff, Grimes & Rance...

I find it funny that some supporters are losing patience with the club after we have finally got some stability with a young talented coach with a young talented list. Our own development team & money in the bank. When he was re-signed there was every chance we wouldn't finish 5th or higher than...

Just as "The Messiah" Ken Hinkley kept Jackson Trengrove on the other week with his busted ankle & Premiership coach Mick Malthouse put Troy Menzel back on last week with his shoulder.

If Matthew Arnott was better than Nathan Foley, Trent Cotchin, Daniel Jackson, Nick Vlastuin, Brett Deledio, Ricky Petterd, Dustin Martin, Shane Edwards, Matthew Thomas, Anthony Miles or Reece Conca then I'd be annoyed at our match committee too but I'm more than happy for him to develop in our...

As Port have been rubbish this past month I give us a chance Sunday. Our seniors might win and our raw youngsters are allowed to develop in our own VFL side. Oh no, tragedy!!!!! It's killing so many of you that our match committee is giving fringe players like Hampson & Thomas an opportunity to...

TE="Bird Man, post: 33985863, member: 105903"]we traded a good draft pick for hampson so dimma has to play him Interesting theory. Blokes getting picked based on what they were traded for. Very interesting theory indeed. Never really thought that would be a factor myself but great theory, will...

Oh look. Brandon Ellis averages more kicks, marks & handballs than Jimmy Bartel. And less clangers. Ellis disposal efficiency is 72% to Bartels 68%. And Ellis averages 3 times more rebound 50' s. THIS MEANS BRANDON ELLIS IS BETTER THAN JIMMY BARTEL!!!! This system of yours really works...

It gives me so much satisfaction knowing some of you miserable sad sacks can't cope with the fact Damien Hardwick is coaching us next year. It frightens me a bit how upset some people still are that Matthew White rejected our offer and turned his back on the club. I sincerely fear for your...

Jack is a champion bloke. First memory of him is when he was playing on ABC Saturdays in the VFL for Tasmania and taking hangers. Our recruiters got these selections right. Both in the teens. I reckon Rance has joined Jack, Ivan & Cotch as A Graders this year.

Looking forward to seeing how we go Sunday. Port people haven't been coping too well with their sides form slump this past month. Turning on Hinkley for not paying a third tall last week. Looks like injury & form slumps & pointing the finger at the coach is something the Port & Richmond BF...

Jayden Post??? He couldn't get a kick at Coburg and showed hardly anything in the 30 games we handed him. The other 17 clubs didn't see anything in him when he was available. Doubt he's even dominating for Altona or whoever he's playing with this year.

I'd have to say great footskills aren't something that stick out in my mind regarding Whitey in the 105 games he played for us, especially considering he played most of them with Richo & our delivery to the big fella was woeful. Liked him a lot but don't begrudge him for knocking back our offer...

If people want to keep Arnott and want him to play midfield that means he will have to replace a player we use in the midfield rotations - WHO??? Cotch: Negative Lids: Negative Conca: Negative Foley: maybe but he is a better player & if you'd have to live with him being successful like Whitey at...

[QUOThe Rusty Trombone, post: 33893763, member: 46032"]Oh my god ,I thought we were having a horrible season until I read this . Wow thanks for brightening my year . I really thought we were a bottom 6 side until I read this. The future really is good at Tigerland. Yeah I agree with you RT it...

While I'm disappointed we won't make the 8 this year, that's what happens with young sides I guess. (Although mathematically we still can make it). Be great to get some solid free agents. I'd bring Morris & Vlas in. Maybe for O'Hanlon & Arnott.

Be great if Morris, Thomas, Grigg & Knights come back in to help our young blokes like Jack, Ellis, Conca, TV, Cotch, Grimes, Dusty, Rance & Miles. Lennon & McBean are two teens I'm happy to develop in the 2's & young Griff has shown a bit. Oh yeah, I forgot about the two other injured...

Nice getting another win. Lions showed last week what they can do. Petterd was great I thought. Vick & Titch too. Jackos 1st qtr was great. 3 games off 8th spot. Rance was great again. Newy handy. Cotch is a gun.

TE="Barry_Badrinath, post: 33892158, member: 123942"]I haven't got access to the scores. Sounds like we're losing by ten goals? That's 'cos all the Vickery baggers cant bring themselves to recognize he was great today. They are toey.

Just thought he was quite useful when he played this role earlier in the year. His kamikaze out of control style is admirable but just basing it on todays back 6 they appear quite measured. Admittedly Newmans experience down there against a lowly side is priceless.

Ellis & DalSanto have a combined 65 uncontested possessions this round between them.

Vickery. Bang!

I'm a fan of Morris but I reckon our back line shows more composure with him not there. Can he be a tagger/defensive fwd with short spells in defense?

Good call. Buddy missed a heap of games one year and made it. Alas he won't make it because people who make these decisions generally hate Richmond.

He clearly didn't see him.

Gee Petterd & Vickery have been good today. Can someone tell Mclaughlin he's not funny, entertaining or knowledgeable.

Good for those supporters who wanted to see Hardwicks plan B and Plan C. And it's working.

This is the way our forward line was designed to function from round one.
