Match Thread. Richmond, Round 6.

Allir dropped to find form

Just so I’m not called a “hindsight hero” later, this is one of SuperCoach’s stupidest moves yet

Hayward all good to find form in the ones though ????

With Aliir a late out, I assume it means that McLean rucks and our key forwards are Blakey and Heeney? Really hoping that the rain comes in. There's a thin band on the radar, just to the north. It might make it wet, it might not.

Don't understand how dropping Aliir so late would help him to get back to form! ( There was a practice match against Melbourne YESTERDAY) We don't have the NEAFL to let players play back into form. Perhaps some would fancy us to get the number 1 draft pick.

Makes no sense.

Certainly Aliir has been out of form, but so is half the league. Poor form this year is the average, not the exception. Watching the PA-GWS game and can't see anyone who is really playing well.

Probably Horse already had his post match excuse interview written and wanted to be sure that 'we were so short' excuse couldn't be challenged.

Aliir is a key back who has been playing out of position in the ruck. How the @@@@ is that out of form?

This is a disgrace.

May be more to it

Hmmm very very strange to omit Aliir now. I'm glad he's not injured though.

[Ludwig]

I was looking forward to the Aliir - Mabior Chol matchup. The Sudanese players really lift when they play against each other. The Aliir - Daw matchup was a classic and both played well.

I also can't see we didn't bring another tall, like Maibaum or even O'Connor, just to have a bit of height to replace Aliir. It's just a practice match anyway.

Has to be, only thing that justifies it

Wow- unbelievably negative vibes in the forum before the ball has even been bounced.

[longmile]

Aliir dropped for form but Hayward and Blakey stay in???? .... okay ...

[dejavoodoo44]

Stevic just led the umpires out. Will that cheer everybody up?

[Markwebbos]

See Dawson warming up with the FWDs

[caj23]

Lynch and Reiweldt to have a field day

Soldo to dominate the ruck as well

This isn’t going to be fun to watch

[wolftone57]

Yeah what about the other 10 blokes who's form has been @@@@e? He is asked to play multiple roles every week and that takes a toll.

With him gone and Lynch playing we will get totally towelled up. Lynch will take this opportunity to kick 10 or more. I am starting to wonder if Blakey & Horse are total @@@@ wits. Every time we go super small we get flogged because we have nobody to play on their talls. What's more there is no tall target inside 50 so they just mark it and rebound.

Sorry but I rhink today may be a day we would rather forget. They are a quality side and we are not treating them with respect. That is arrogance from Blakey & Longmire and base stupidity. Hardwick will use this as motivation you watch.
