Richmond vs Coburg Intra Club Praccy game this Friday
- Thread starter Rosy
- Start date
Thomson stood out and played 3 qtrs, kicked two goals fom difficult angles in the first. Looks super fit and hungry, should start in the best 22.French Tiger said:
Farmer played after 3qtr time and did what he had to against inferior opposition. Swept the ball well out of defence and dd what he needed to do.
Farmer may allow Newman to play up the ground a little later in the year.
Thomson is very well built and kicking looked fine without being elite.

Cheers! Thomson is the forgotten man,i thought in the last game against the Eagles he showed a bit
French Tiger said:
I endorse what pmac said. Thommo looked very fit and injury free and it showed - played well.
Took us while to figure out who no 15 was - dont know why - its Farmer's number. He played pretty well for the quarter I saw him.
Both aer serious considerations for a start which is good for our depth.

On Thomson thought he was very good and combined well with the other mids as f they had played a lot of footy together
French Tiger said:
Not forgotten here!
He was a top 10 pick back in 2004, was not popular with Williams and struggled with injuries as well - when he is fit (hopefully he is now) he will play and play well. He did have some good games with Port and was uncerimoniously dropped after stringing a few games together - paid the price for an insipid team effort - took it tough and that was his end at Port - played out the rest of his time at Sturt I think (don't quote me on Sturt though).
Dyer Disciple spoke to him through 2009 and was stuggling with a sturnum problem (Thommo not DD ;D ). He was never really untroubled in 2009 apparently.

What do you base that on in regards to Farmer being a strong consideration? The reason I ask is, the guy couldn't get a kick nor did he play his role right in the last 2 scratch matches prior to the Intra club match, nor has he be setting the training track alight. Plus I would hae thought if he was a consideration , he would at least had played in the first half

i saw the game on friday nd farmer was terrific when he came on, hard at it, aggressive, ran the ball out well and used it well also...
In regards to ur point if he was a consideration , he would at least had played in the first half Collins came on in the 2nd half...i wouldnt be reading to much into that WL
AstuteTiger said:
Collins is easing his way back, hence the reason why he came on in the second half. This is not the case with Farmer. Sure he looked alright on Friday, but don't read too much into it. If you had seen him in those scratch matches I mentioned, you'd be saying the same thing.
White Lightning said:
IMO his form in the trial makes him a serious consideration for a starting berth. Not saying Hardwick has him pencilled in.
I'd say Edwards, Tambling, Newman and Connors are in front of him in the coach's eyes. Dont know how he has trained previously but played well Friday! As I said above good for depth - nice problem to have lots of players in decent nick!
lamb22 said:
IMO i don't consider Farmer as depth player. He doesn't hae the composure to play that role in our backline.This is a major focus in DH's game plan for the backline.
White Lightning said:
Odd really. Everything I've read indicates that's where he is likely to play - time will tell....
