Teams v Richmond

[Playsmart]

This is a joke if they play Pike, Simmonds could play with one hand tied behind his back and easily account for this hack what are they thinking?!

From the reports we have heard for months, he is fast for a very tall chap.
Surely that is a plus to beat other slower tall.
Got to start him sometime. Looks the right time to give him a go.
Right choice.

And, probably more of us like to see him in speedy run leaving his opponent for dead to lift the swan.

Go Pyke

I can't wait for the day when I don't see Ablett, Bevan or Buchanan in our starting 22.

You'll eat your words one day with regard to Master Bevan.

Hack

So from the many times you've seen him play(I am assuming that you have otherwise having such a strong opinion is just sad), can you please give us your run down of why Pyke may not be of AFL quality.

[Triple B]

Because at this stage, he can't handball (they are big loops that put teammates under pressure) and his kicking is suspect at best.

On what he's shown so far, I can't believe he will get a game this week.

Connolly's congregation just doubled in size.

Very unlikely on any front, Bevan is a verrrry ordinary footballer and will never improve on that.

Good to see MOL, Hall, Moore and Braba named in the extended list. Pyke should make his debut thanks to the White's illness.

Hang on. Symmonds is a muscular joke of a ruckman. He is part of the reason Richmond suck arse as a team. As far as I can tell, the poor bloke is a bench pressing obstacle to the team succeeding in the long term, (shame cos he really looks the part..). But soft as tall butter.

[BigD]

Welcome back to Magic & Bazza. At least we'll have some targets up forward unlike last week.

as far as Pyke goes - haven't seen him play yet so I won't comment yet.

Connolly's congregation just doubled in size.

Connolly is well aware that I am part of the flock. Yes, there are others of the Bevonator faith out there.

Come, join us.

How did you know I live under the flight path?

Catching the end of the reserves game two weeks ago I noticed that Pyke left the field totally stuffed, huffing and puffing. Someone I was with said "not match-fit" but not catching the match I don't know how hard he worked and how much time he had. Can someone who has watched the reserves more closely let us know more detail?

Or "Not Butter" Symmonds the Fabio of the AFL ?
