Side by Side we stick together.
Give Richards one more shot, surely he cant lose the ruck this week. Both Bryan and Richards both dominate at Willy but struggle in the AFL.
Richards has had 5 years at least.
His AFL career is over.
Try atleast 7.
Is it really good for the side to play Richards, and then play Bryan, then when Bryan has a bad game, bring back Richards, then Bring back Bryan 2 weeks later, then Richards again.
We could atleast try some stability in the ruck no matter how bad they perform. It would be good to see one of them play 5 or 6 games in a row.

Actually on that, does anyone know how much time he and Dawes spent on the ground today??
After 5 goals, I'll be expecting Rusling to play seniors next week.
Willi seniors that is.
Nice one Stui!!!
- Thanks for the memories Licca - I'm gonna miss you!!! - Bring on 2008 - Nick Maxwell has my vote for Captain -
Agree about giving one of the rucks a decent crack at it.
But then again, must be frustrating as hell for Mick and the boys who continuously give both string-beans a go but neither of 'em grab it with both hands. It is obvious that 2nd ruck is our one glaring weakness yet neither of them want to put their hand up.
My old man is constantly talking about how good Bryan was in the Blues reserves last year yet can't believe how average (at best) he looks in the AFL.
It's all a bit harsh really, Richards performed at least as well as Fraser on Saturday night in ruck situations. Trouble was that both had a very quiet night.
Very solid as usual. He will never light up a stadium like Daisy or Dick, he is more at home in a contest and laying crunching tackles. But I like the kid a lot and think that once Sir Scott moves on we may have a decent crack at replacing his Royal Highness with Danny.

Stanley had a really good game playing as a ruck rover/half forward. He found plenty of the ball with 27 possessions, and is in reasonable touch. It was good to see his work-rate, and to see him win the ball and then what he did with it afterwards. He got forward for a goal, and was pretty good at half forward as well, so Mick was happy with him.
