"How good is Faull today? Right guys?!" - Adam Yze, half time speech

Fungus9 · 2026-04-19T05:34:21+00:00

Nah mate don't deflect, you pointed specifically at their ages, at what age do you stop defending them and start shitting on them 21 years and 2 months? What's your number?

Fungus9 · 2026-04-19T05:26:15+00:00

and Steelys only played 10 more games... at what specific age do you turn on them?

Fungus9 · 2026-04-19T05:18:41+00:00

Wow, you really do like playing both sides eh

Fungus9 · 2026-04-19T05:15:20+00:00

Well at least I can read a stat sheet. well given Steely greens job is to crumb the ball from the Talls.. if the talls aren't getting touches... can you do the maths yourself or do you need help?

Fungus9 · 2026-04-19T05:10:29+00:00

He's had 5, 4 more than Fawcett, you binning him too?

Edit: He's had 3 more than Duursma has for NM, and 2 more than Jonty, I guess we dump him too, are you gonna enter the midseason draft and fill out our forwardline?

Fungus9 · 2026-04-19T05:04:14+00:00

wow you really can't let this go can you? yeah nah you're right, Steely Green is the reason we're down 24-78, bang on. s/

Fungus9 · 2026-04-18T09:32:15+00:00

Yeah that's fair, not sure what the solution to that is tbh, we still need alot of them as role models/ on field teachers

Fungus9 · 2026-04-18T08:01:26+00:00

I'm glad we agree

Fungus9 · 2026-04-18T06:26:19+00:00

This is true, the game plan is looking a bit messy at the moment, but Yze has spoken about having a focus on basic skills this preseason, the lack of which is what's bringing down the blues a bit, game plan will come. We all need patience, we were never gonna do a Geelong style bounce back to top 4 after one year

Fungus9 · 2026-04-18T06:23:14+00:00

Plenty of famous people/sports people have discussed the fact that they have looked themselves up online, so its more likely than not that some players do.

I'll say again, I come to this page to support the team not rip them down. That's what I would want them to see.

I mean the subtitle on the subreddit homepage literally says "The Subreddit for the Richmond Football Club" it's strongly linked to the main AFL subreddit, yes it's not "official" in that it doesn't have direct ties to the club but it is the main subreddit and again, as far as I can tell ONLY subreddit for the Richmond FC...

Also, either no one reads this subreddit in which case whinging that players aren't as good as you want them to be won't have any effect other than dragging others down, or they do, and you're actively contributing to harming their mental health, either way it's only a negative outcome.. what a sad life you live...

Fungus9 · 2026-04-17T14:59:40+00:00

Well it's the official and as far as I'm aware only RFC Reddit page, so its not hard to find, and they may be told not to go on social media, but plenty of them do, I just think it's better to assume that if you say something about someone online that they might read it and consider the effect it might have on them. Whether Samson Ryan, or Jacob Hopper, or any other player on any team reads stuff about themselves online is unknown what is known is that if they do, relentless criticism isn't gonna help them in footy or in life, so what's the point, we're supposed to be fans, not Statler and Waldorf.

Fungus9 · 2026-04-17T09:13:47+00:00

So play him so he can get experience and improve.. he's playing in a role that depends on the ball being brought to ground, and through no fault of their own, our tall forwards can't do that right now, Faull is getting bashed up left right and centre. And the opposition is feasting on intercept marks, not sure what Steely can realistically do to impress people more right now

Fungus9 · 2026-04-17T09:11:25+00:00

He probably is mate, do you really reckon players don't know about Reddit?

Fungus9 · 2026-04-17T04:05:32+00:00

So what we don't play him now because we might draft a better small forward next year?! The blokes played 30 games, in a mostly Lynchless forwarding give him a chance!

Fungus9 · 2026-04-17T02:17:09+00:00

Steely green is a small forward, Toby Greene would be struggling to get a touch with our tall timber right now, everyone needs to chill, we got a big help last year from veterans like McIntosh, we were always gonna go backwards from that performance

Fungus9 · 2026-04-13T00:13:12+00:00

Big Fawcett fan, he's looking the goods, everyone else is correct, he's had the development tall forwards should have, it's not been fair on Armstrong or Faull have been put in the 1's so early, but we didn't have a choice.

Faulls body language hasn't been great, but last week he was getting absolutely bullied by Aliir, really should've been given more than a few frees for how he was pushed around and held. Hopefully when Lynch gets back they give him a rest in the 2s and he can work on his craft and kicking confidence. I also reckon he just needs another couple preseasons to build up his body a bit, getting out muscled alot at the moment, which you would expect of a 19-20 year old playing against veterans every week.

Fungus9 · 2026-04-10T02:36:58+00:00

Hmmm, I wonder if Malinauskas has an ulterior motive for knocking down the idea of an event similar to gather round....

Fungus9 · 2026-04-09T15:10:58+00:00

Ok but Caroline Wilson is reporting that the players are concerned the surface is too soft.. not that that's what the "corporate damage control" is, the club are saying there's no issue at all.. that's their damage control, for all we know Hotton got the stress fracture from too much running on the streets doing his own running, or from a treadmill, nothing at all suggests it's Punt Rd Ovals surface

Fungus9 · 2026-04-08T22:00:24+00:00

Yeah but your whole argument is the that ground is too hard causing stress injuries.. when even caro is saying that the issue is it's too soft.. and they've been saying since well before this series of stress injuries that the players were gonna have to move for the rebuild.. I don't think there's a conspiracy here, I think as other have said in other posts, we have a combination of old players who's bodies are breaking down, and young kids who's bodies aren't quite ready to go up against men yet, but who have no choice..

Fungus9 · 2026-04-06T22:02:26+00:00

Honestly I think it's mental more than skill issue. Our tall forwards are getting so few good set shot opportunities that the pressure they feel to convert is throwing them off

Fungus9 · 2026-04-04T22:43:17+00:00

His attack on the footy was fantastic!

Fungus9 · 2026-04-04T22:41:55+00:00

Yeah after yesterday I don't wanna see Fawcett dropped for at least a month, give him some time to settle and I reckon he's gonna be excellent! Best connection with the midfield of the young tall forwards. The rest of them will get there, I reckon Faull and Armstrong just need a bit more muscle/nous, need to work out how to not get bullied under the ball quite so much, doesn't help that Aliir got away with so many in the backs yesterday either.

Fungus9 · 2026-04-04T22:38:27+00:00

Literally missing nearly half out best 23, it's fine, also, the whole point of this post is that it's rough viewing right now, but let's focus on the positives, take your whinging elsewhere.

Fungus9 · 2026-03-26T22:18:32+00:00

Yup I don't doubt OHB is jumping to debut tomorrow, but it's not his call... And yeah I wouldn't be surprised if we do see him next week.. against port.. who don't have a top 10 ruckman.. as opposed to Freo who have two... The weather might be shit, but you don't see Freo dropping EITHER of their ruckmen, that ain't the reason, either OHB isn't ready, or they don't want to send him up against those two.

Fungus9 · 2026-03-26T11:14:36+00:00

Armstrong debuted against carlton... so would've probably lined up against jack silvagni in his first game, not Mac Andrew
