Wow, bloody overated Post and Goo are. Did you not see the game against Essendon last week?? I was at the game last week and Post had 2 shots at goal from 45m and he couldn't even make the distance. Didn't even provide much, him and Hislop only had 11 possessions.Also i have said he has Got better this year. However i recall Madtiger saying how much Graham got better last year and look at him now.
Post goes to the same School as Hughes and the Tomma Hawk from Geelong.
Hoping the ground and ball are dry so are fowards can mark and more skill is involved.
We've decided we have to play a ruckman.
The ruckman we prefer to play is Browne.
We have to drop someone to play the ruckman.
We need to move Vick back forward to accommodate the ruckman.
To accommodate Vick we need to remove a tall forward.
Who do we remove, Jack/Griff/Post?
We remove Post.
Browne has no endurance what-so-ever. He'll be smashed by Zac Smith with the conditions tomorrow.Solid reasoning, you are correct - but it doesn't mean we have to be happy about it.
I would have preferred Graham over Browne, and to be honest my real preference would be to leave it as it was last week. I would like a bit more of a look at Vicks as the primary ruck.
What kind of sick bastards would make Tuck first emergency five weeks in a row? If they don't want to play him, don't play him - why do this to him on a weekly basis?
I've watched this club do some outrageous things to itself and its players over the years, but this one is right up there - like they're doing their utmost to rub his nose in it, and for what gain, to him or the club? If it were any other facet of life, we'd be questioning the match committee's competence and asking why they're acting in such a ridiculous, childish manner towards a player who has always been a tremendous club servant.
Regardless of whether or not people think Tuck should play again, I can't see how anyone could argue that this current situation is defensible or say that it isn't reflecting poorly on the club.

strangely enough, i don't know any non-richmond supporters who think anything of it. They all either don't really rate him, or figure he's too old.
I wonder if he's named as emg just in case one of our top line mids have to pull out - cotch, dusty, axel, jacko, lids, edwards and in previous weeks, farmer, hislop etc. Not really sure though.
Gold Coast have been pretty good around the clearances and Centre Breaks, but everytime they take it forward, it comes back just as fast. Not a lot of forward structure. Suspect Lids will have a good game rebounding from half-back, similar to the Brisbane game.

Thats great, thanks mate. Will the ball be wet due to the humidity?Off to take a peek at the tiges going thru their hit out very soon.
weather is warmish and overcast now, around 25C. but starting to cool down a bit mid arvo as it does in the tropics.
PRETTY SURE conditions will be superb for footy 2morro and a DRY track and slight breeze looks almost a certainty. Expecting us to be a 12-15 goal better side than the Darwin debarcle.
i've been on this board since 08 (the peter sassegum days ). I reckon Barnzy has been critical of team selection pretty much every week, apart from the odd week that jade the blade was in charge and maybe 1 week in 10 for Hardwick. A constant theme is promoting players 23 or under at the expense of older players. And for where Richmond is now it is hard to argue with that approach.Barnzy yet again is right on the money. I would give him 80% accuracy with his opinions. **** McGuane and Thursty. Put Post in there.
Thank god Tuck will be gone at the end ofd the year and then all the sooky la las can whine about someone else.
No one cares what you think...
And get it right...no one has whined or sooked ala about Tuckys non-selection...
In fact they have championed and reasoned for his recall and inclusion in the tigers side...
And going by the teams current performance on the field...have every right to do so...
sigh
wasnt so long ago THursty, Moore and McG were our young musketeers, getting games pumped into them after Gaspar fded off and we had no one else tall to put down back.
Bring back the Kellaways I say!
Grimes Batch and Houli look good tho, wtf happened to Connors?
