Don't really need to rush Astbury back this week so just giving him another week to recover.

He's been withdrawn from our emergencies this week and replaced by Madonna.

Glad the dogs forwards are so inexperienced, since their mid's are likely suspects.

Bad loss from the Tiges a bit of deja vu from last year , the elephant in the room for me is Morris big heart but no skills surely we cant keep players like Knights , Lennon plus players coming back Conca , Foley , Lids or other players that will lose there spot for him , it's alright to have an inspirational player in a team but 9 possies in 2 games is not good enough , it makes me think again if Hardwick is the right man for the job because Clarkson Hinkley Lyon would not accept this ?

Pretty poor effort today, agreed. Rance was sensational once again, just need to cough up whatever $$ he's asking for.

The forward line was very average I thought, Jack didn't make the most of his opportunities but didn't stop trying. Had very little support though, Deledio's presence up there would have been handy for sure, while I think we could have benefited from someone like Vickery playing today as well.

I like Morris but have to say he was very poor today and I don't like him in the fwd line at all. Play him down back where he looks more comfortable or not at all IMO.

Reckon it showed how important Titch is, really missed him today  :(

Yep, fully agree.

Rance was insane, Dusty too and T-Hunt has performed well two weeks running.

Lids, Astbury and Knights in next week. Nippa, Grimes and Lambert out. They'd be my changes.

That's another player that I forgot about how can Morris keep getting a game when all these other guys are ready to go it just does not make any sense to me unless we are not fielding our most skilled players , can one of you guys please point out what I am missing with Morris because even with yellow and black glasses on he would not get a game in any other AFL team

He shouldn't be getting a game the way he's playing in his current role. It's not working for him or us as a team.

Chuck him down back where he does his best work and order should be restored.

Chucking him down the back does not make him any more skilled he is still keeping a good player out , if the Tiges go with this attitude we may as well throw the towel in now , if Hardwick is not going to make the hard decisions because someone is in the leadership group we may as well put him in the bin with Morris because it is make or break for us this year like it or not .

You clearly don't watch Richmond games, Morris excels in his normal role as a defender.

Nige he is a spud you just cant keep defending every player we have you have to wake up and smell the roses he has no future in any successful Richmond team otherwise you will be an old man and I will be in the grave , you tell me a team that would accept that output in any position ..... none

Morris is decent, he just sucks as a forward. Like he's barely VFL forward level. Surely Hardwick will wake up and play him back next week.

Not really, he's well within the best 22 (as a defender) looking at Richmond's individual performances. He's incredibly consistent too, not at an elite level but the Tigers only have 1 elite defender anyway.

He's easily on par with any of the rest of your back 6 apart from Rance
