Round 9 Discussion

[chef]

If our 'best 22' our forwardline probably looks something like:

HF - Higgins, Grant, Sherman
F - Minson, Hall, Gia

Who's spot does Walker take?

On current form either Higgins, grant, Sherman, Minson or Gia, take your pick. He would be the perfect third tall IMO.

[Remi Moses]

Richmond really got the Bombres at a good time. If ever there was a side screaming out for a break,massively impressed with Dylan Grimes he reminds me of Dale Morris.
Fair to say the other result was also in the cards with Brown back and Brisbane overdue for a win.I'd hazard to guess Dean Bailey is a dead man walking!Seems like a good fella, but just doesn't grab me as a coach

[jazzadogs]

How have Essendon, Port Adelaide and Richmond not had a bye, but Gold Coast has had two?

I think the loss of Watson is similar to Hayes at the Saints. If Watson had been playing, I reckon he might have willed them over the line.

Loved the North jumper last night. Basically it was blue with white stripes, not a white jumper with blue stripes. The back was blue with white numbers, it just looked good.

You're easily pleased if you are willing to take him instead of all of those names.

He won't play in front of Minson as he can't take his turn in the ruck.

Of the rest he would probably only play in front of Grant, but Grant has far more upside so if you are taking the long term view you play Grant.

Yeah I actually picked the tigers, shame the Bombers have the bye next week as I reckon they would get pumped again.

I could say the same for you if you wouldn't. Your either being biased or haven't seen Walker playing this year.

His numbers just don't jump out at me as a 'must have'. Averaging under 13 touches a game, 3 marks & 2 goals per game.

While he clearly he had very good games against GC & Adelaide his performances (on paper*) against Coll & Ess show a different story (just 4 touches in each)

Look he would probably just get a game ahead of Gia, but it would be very much a line ball call and seeing as though you have a preference to Walker you would go that way... others wouldn't.


* Not sure if he got injured in these games.

What do you think of Melbourne's away jumper TCD?

It got a fair pasting on
ABC radio yesterday.

Not sure I like it at all.

It did look alright.

I'm not sure Grant clearly has more upside and I could see Walker becoming a key target. At the moment Grant seems to be locked in more as a 3rd tall forward than as a key forward.

You and I appear to be in agreeance on this one. And I have no bias towards Walker

Fair enough. I'm happy in a way that Ratten is now playing him in the position he's suited to. If only he hadn't played so well in that final against the Swans there is a fair chance he would be in our forward line right now.

*I am a bit biased when it comes to Walks.

It looked bloody awful!

Right. Does not look like the Ds at all.
There are some crap away jumpers around.
