VFL Round 9 Richmond v Essendon - Dreamtime Double Header at the G

Yep - don’t think he’s up to it or ever will be. Wasted pick that smacked of desperation to find a key tall forward that should have been secured via main draft.
Exactly. We prefer to accumulate flankers and midgets with our draft picks, don't want to waste them on KPFs. Not sure where our next good one will come from now - with no high picks for the foreseeable future and Tassie closed off for the new home team to claim any local talent. Remember, the source of Hart, Gale, Roach, Richo and JR8.

These strange selections could see us headed back to the dark ages re no KPFs to actually convert forward entries; Jack going, Lynch increasingly injury prone, maybe 2/3 years left.

Crap by Banks 40m dead in front and he chooses to pass to pocket and missed goal, just horrendous .
Hard to watch this game, not a lot of good footy from our boys.
It's hard to watch. Was that the one Q3 that he passed off to Trezise who ran into an easy 25m shot and missed. After Cumbo and Bradke also missed very gettable ones to pit us in the lead in Q2?!
It's the same as our AFL team most of the year - crappy kicking into FL and shots at goal. Who is setting the standards? Do we have any?

Sonsie at least has 23 disposals up to 3q time, 20 of them kicks but not his best kicking display.
 
If this game showed anything its that we can NOT afford any injures in the seniors

Just get Banks into the seniors, so he can play and learn from some players with ability
