@Shay_mie95@FOXFOOTY “we have other mids” we been getting slammed by the media for how poor our midfield has been all season, now we’ve lost our 2 best midfielders and replaced them with a 2 gamer and mcauliffe. but im supposed to believe jack graham and dev robertson are soooo irreplaceable sure
@Shay_mie95@FOXFOOTY there’s no point in having this debate if you’re going to argue that deven robertson is “irreplaceable”. that’s just an incredible amount of bias. i’m a big fan of his. i agree he’s good and important. but he’s not irreplaceable. just a silly biased take
@Shay_mie95@FOXFOOTY banks one of our go to distributors off half back. armstrong a key forward they’re trying to get games into. so much expected/promised from hotton and smillie. we had to play ollie hayes brown for christs sake
@Shay_mie95@FOXFOOTY that’s my issue with this take. you’re quick to stress how important certain players are to your structure (which is completely fair) but then happy to call our outs just role players? mansell and rioli are currently integral parts of our fwd line and pressure game as well
@Shay_mie95@FOXFOOTY we’re missing role players, yet you named jack graham?? he’s a role player as much as a lot of ours are. harry edwards is unproven. dev was delisted and has played 5 games for you. fact you didn’t even mention hotton is also very harsh too
@Shay_mie95@FOXFOOTY waterman and harley may be above the ones listed, but they’re your best 2 and lalor and nank/taranto are our best 2. so that’s the applicable comparison. tigers midfield isn’t mature/experienced. ross and hopper, but the other two who attended cbas were mcauliffe and cumming?
@Shay_mie95@FOXFOOTY you could argue lalor nank and taranto are richmond’s 3 best/most important players. would be like pulling harley baker and waterman out
@FootyonNine tim taranto would get a game at every club. that’s an insane comment to make. how you even mention him when there’s guys like hopper and prestia in the same midfield is ridiculous
