[wegetpumped]

It's cause we're shit

Yeah I know but they could give us all sunday afternoon games that way we can go to church in the morning and pray.

 

[wegetpumped]

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way

I'm glad this is fantasy footy as the real life Kids are learning differently this days more into cars lol

That is one brutally tough stance.
games in
-Brisbane

-Adelaide

- Marvel (no one goes there)

Dillon'll be quaking

4 out of 5 games in Melbourne and not Brisbane.

Are you sure you are a Richnind supporter?

 

[beema limapep]

Stop calling him Kmac2 ffs

Kmac2.

 

[terrybull]

Still haven’t beaten any one good (and this time it’s true).

Call him Kano - everyone at the club does

 

[Grrr]

I think it's time to shuffle a bit for the future.

• Smith to the wing, MacI to the sub. Dow is just warming a spot on the bench until Hugo is ready.
• Blight offers good ruck relief and can take a grab. Honest footballer and take the pressure of Faull.
• Ross was much improved in the second half last week, so give him another go in there full time.
• Gray had a good game so give him a go.
• I think Green could run through the middle as well. He is such a good user of the ball, especially in traffic.
• McAuliffe to start, can't use Ross, Taranto and Hopper together, just to boring.
• Alger because we are short a quick small, and he has some tricks.

B: Vlastuin, Miller, Broad
HB: Short, Gray, Brown
C: Banks, Ross, Smith
HF: Lalor, Blight, Campbell
F: Green, Lynch, Faull

R: Nank, Taranto, McAuliffe

Int: Trainor, Hopper, Dow, Alger, MacIntosh (S)

 

[tora tora tora]

Yep, Andrews needs to be accountable.

I agree with the below




Perfect idea, I reckon. Blight defensively on Andrews and relief for Nank. He’s shown good signs in the ruck.

And debuting Gray - great idea.

Yze made comment about Blight KPD & back up upsetting the backline balance so, got a feeling it will be a KPF back up. Or Ryan, off the bench. Gray played very well in the VFL. Maybe Gray for Armstrong.

Banks or Hugo IN for Tresize.

Alger or Kmac III for Mansell?

 

[tora tora tora]

Call him Kano - everyone at the club does

Too close to Volkano for me.........makes me gag

 

[Groupie_]

I'm done. Not going until Mansell plays again and even still, not to out next home game in 5 weeks time.

Til then, AFL can buy its own ****ing hotdog and a warm mid strength beer on game day.

At $20 per game if 1000 supporters did the same thing for 5 weeks, it's $100,000 gross.

the protest and boycott shouldve been organised when shocking changed the rules to stop our dynasty and we finished last in the free kick count 7 years in a row

imagine the cfl panic if rfc played to completely empty stadiums

unfortunately they only do shite like this in overseas soccer and the cfl knows this

Well said.

Well, I'm giving them a 5 week ban which includes home games v Bris, Gold Coast, and away games vs the dawks and Melb.

Might not change gown either. Hopefully it doesn't matt in with the skin.

[Ralll]

A great oppo to test our resolve after the "not AFL standard" second half vs Saints.

In: Fawcett/Sims, Gray, Alger
Out: Miller, Bauer, Mansell

Get Lalor into the midfield early and manage him towards the end of the game.

As I mentioned to another poster this morning, I want us to bring Ryan in and answer once and for all whether he has a future with us long term. There was plenty of talk about him during the summer, so lets find out if he can back up that hype with actually performing in a game against a quality opponent. If he can, then it makes things a bit easier on Yze and the other coaches moving forward knowing that a couple of the areas we need to address moving forward have a solid solution in place. If he can't then we know we need to start putting even more time into the younger guys like Sims & Fawcett to be that 2nd ruck/KPF option in support of Lynch initially then either Armstrong or Faull come 2026 and beyond.

Eventually Ryan is going to need to be given a shot at the level, so no time like the present to give him a 3-4 week block against some strong opponents and let him sink or swim.

As far as Blight is concerned, I said the same thing with Balta and I'll say it with Blight, leave him as a defender and don't start messing around with his development. He's been in the system not even a year and he stands out as a defender and if developed properly could make a damn good one for the next decade alongside Balta Trainor & Gibcus as we strive for the next era of success.

The problem I have is, playing Ryan beside Lynch. It’s not a fair assessment because together they make our forward line to slow. We should have played him when Lynch was out.

 

[tiger_tough]

Blight rucked against Nank so maybe he's going to swing forward? Hope so
Smille, Banks, Hugo and MRJ trained fully

2025 Training Thread

gonna look like barney rubble's gown by the end of it

 

[Grrr]

where you got Trezise?

Oops.
I'm still 50-50 with Trezise, more a back than a wing and the backline is full.

We've had a look for 3 weeks so maybe a spell and see how a few others go. Smith for one deserves a proper go but he could just as easily not go. I am also 50-50 on Banks as a winger, just doesn't have the pace. Tezise will be back when a few others have had a go.

Opps meant Faull
