Such a shame as he is an awesome player.Comment

Just had a glance at the stats. Hewett's stood out: 20 contested possessions; 10(!) clearances; 7 tackles. He's been one of our best all year; he's become super reliable and keeps his nerve. Doesn't fumble, marks going back with the flight.
Kennedy 36 possessions (22 contested), 8 clearances, 9 tackles, 6 I50s.
Hannebery ended up with 20 possessions. His kicking and decision-making is still a bit off, it kind of feels like he's re-learning the game. But he is running out games better.Comment

The main consolation is that this is not the lineup that will play finals and Richmond were almost at full strength tonight.
Reid plus Buddy will create a synergy that will be hard to stop. Papley and Melican will make a difference and Heeney without concussion will be awesome.
KJ and Rose won't feature.Hanners and Rohan look shakey. Dawson, Fox, Newman, COR, Marsh and Towers waiting in the wings means that we can pick in form players as required.
But Horse needs to stop the charity for the chosen few.Its not fair to the others.

Richmond were so relaxed that they got Higgins to tell the joke of the week at the three quarter time huddle , about our Harbour Bridge apparently : can only guess ....
That several of our players should be Bridge Painters rather than AFL footballers .. ?
Anyway it certainly cracked em up...Comment

My problem with Hanners is he is running at about half pace and struggles to kick more than thirty meters. If Horse can't see that then he has a problem.Comment

I think 26 points is flattering. We were awful. Lack of composure across the ground. Just gave it back time and time again & the tigers were ruthless coming back.
If not for Kennedy, Jake, Parker and some desperate defence, it would have been 50 points.
As for the rest, really liking Hewett, Ollie & Hayward plus Ronke?s effort is lovely to watch.
I like Aliir, but he really does look lost at times & his kicking makes me cringe.
I just can?t see how long we can carry a number of players who have such a low impact in big games.

I?m not convinced that Hanners needs to go. He is improving week by week. He just needs to learn to kick it to his own players.
There are others that worry me more namely:
Rohan, who I have defended until now
Jack, who?s biggest asset was speed and evasiveness no longer has it
Aliir, I?ve been dying to see him in the side, now I can?t wait for Melican to come back.
Rose, I agree it was a tough return to the team, but he?s not Papley.
There is a list of players not getting a game: Towers, Newman, Dawson, COR etc. Time to give some of them a go.
Is it bad I want Horse to drop one of Rohan / KJ next week? Why did ROK and Teddy get dropped so unceremoniously when others seem untouchable?Comment
