This bloke would have to be the softest, most overrated plow to ever play the game of Australian Rules.

Doesn't tackle either, should be getting his hands dirty when a blokes hanging off him. Can't think of any other footballer to struggle so much with the tag.

Hopefully everyone has learnt their lesson from now

Rich will never be the 90+ averaging defender that was hoped for

Zaha , Cotchin are 2 more but there are very few that score well with a good tag

To get rid of this flog I'd have to use 2 trades. I currently have 6. The temptation is huge

Don't do it mate. I am in the same position with Brodie Smith. Has been a poor pick this year but last 2 weeks he's gone 80 and 100. You would rather save the trades for premo injuries or you could do what I'm trying and get Rich (in my case Smith) onto your bench as d7/m9 cover.

Good advice, I've just banished Rich to the M9 bench which is his best position. Saved me a Bartel donut which helps soften the rank scores this past fortnight. Next week he can be loopholed with Trengove, hoping for one last ton before the season is out.

Exactly. Lets be honest, Rich is averaging what? 80? And you bought him for $430k at the start of the year as a hopeful d6 with a 90 average. Hasn't worked out, he hasn't elevated his game in the midfield as expected but he's still great cover.

I think the Brodie Smiths, Toby Greenes and Richs' of this year should teach us something for future seasons. Even if the guy who is priced at $350-450k at the start of the season doesn't break out, we should probably be holding as bench cover. Injury aside of course.

Good advice, but I probably can't get him to the bench. Stays at d6 or trade. He's gonna cost me a final. I can't go into finals with him. I'll wait till the finals and if I can not trade for 2 weeks and still have 6 I'll slaughter him

Diesels Pups

He's dead to me >:( But stuck with him :'(

He's got ONE more chance. Dunno how many more chances I can give him.

Don't even care if I go down to one trade.

SURELY, he can score well against the one team below them?

"Don't even care if I go down to one trade." - ha, ha wato! love your work!  ;)

I ditched him rd4 and don't miss him one bit!  ;D   :P    ;)

yeh, if you don't have any other issues and 'enough' trades left ... he's got to go, says Captain Hindsight!  ;)

My biggest regret of the year was starting this guy over Simpson.. Just to save a bit of cash.. What was I thinking  ::)
On the never again list but stuck with him for the rest of this year as I'm down to 1 trade  :'(

NickyBoy

Worst pick ever. The guy is an absolute flog when he gets tagged. Staying well clear from him next season. flower you Rich

Jimmykidd

The signs suggesting a solid season were there..

-Just signed a 5 year deal
-Was slated for more midfield time (LOL)
-Rocky, Beams out injured

Got sucked in big time. Guy has so much potential yet he just doesn't give a toss. I hope I don't need to trade for a few weeks then I can get rid of him come first final.

I feel for those who won't have that option  :'( What a disappointment.

EXPECTING 90+ THIS WEEK RICHY RICH
