Game Day - R3 Richmond V Western Bulldogs

Re: Game Day - R3 Richmond V Western Bulldogs

When the team's not paying well Higgins really is a very average footballer. Genuine downhill skier

I've defended him to a degree in the past but I can't see how he can justify his spot right now

Re: Game Day - R3 Richmond V Western Bulldogs

What do people see in Campbell? I haven't seen much, and what I've seen hasn't been great. What am I missing?

Yeh he's very wooden!
Not agile enough at this level

Whos worse Higgins or Gia?

Both out for mine

Re: Game Day - R3 Richmond V Western Bulldogs

Our selection will be very interesting next week. Plenty of fierce pressure for spots and the incumbents have not made much of a case for their retention. All of Campbell, Dahl, Dickson, Gia and Higgins have been dreadful up forward, as has Smith and Goodes down back.

And in the coaches box, Hardwick has comprehensively pulled BMac's pants down.

It's been a walk in the park for Richmond from what I have heard. 3 or 4 tiger midfielders all alone in the middle of the ground on a number of occasions

And he's got some pressure from Vez and Stringer too.

Re: Game Day - R3 Richmond V Western Bulldogs

We been smashed all over.
Tigers finally stepping up it seems

The run off our half forwards was too easy

Agree with all expect Goodes.
Minson was shocking today.

He's 21, he's a better player than Minson was at that age. He's a number one ruck not a forward.

Gia has way more runs on the board and can be a strong creative force in our forward line. Exploitable by quick opponents and not defensively strong, but ahead of Higgins.

Re: Game Day - R3 Richmond V Western Bulldogs

Another embarrassing flogging, no sign of a fight from most of the list.

Once upon a time I used to look forward to Richmond games.

Shame about the result. Disappointed for Crossy, a bulldog warrior.

Agreed, so then he should only play as a replacement for Minson. Williams is the best 2nd ruck on the list and I'd bring him straight in next week.

Agreed. Yesterday's run at Willy enough for me.

Was looking a good game after 15 minutes..fancy going missing like that on Cross' 200th. Bitterly disappointing

When Gia hasn't got the ball in his hands he is a liability. Too slow & not strong enough to beat an opponent & our team isn't good enough to cover his weaknesses.

Higgins, well i'm lost for words on this bloke. Should be dropped, make him realise he isn't an automatic selection & then maybe we will get some sustained effort.

Having said that, after todays performance you could drop about 15 players. Was their a function or party last night? the boys looked like they were all on the sauce last night.
