Who rates our forward line?

IMO we really have to do something about our forward line..yes we have got browny...and richo is to come back...but i just dont think it is potent enough. Think we are easily matched up on. We have to find someone to replace richo in the future and i just dont see richmond recruiting someone similar? My opinion only and most will disagree..but im not convinced with our forward structure.
 
I think Stafford is THREATENING the match committee to play him every week.

If there's a team that TW gets outcoached by, it's his old Hawks.

We have had lucky wins and today's loss against this running side because our forward line has been too weak even with Richo in it.

Only Carlton & Hawthorn have scored less than us since the start of 2005 (and just barely). Richo, Brown & Pettifer is a great start and we can afford to carry a Meyer while he learns, but we're not getting enough from the other two spots. Tambling at this stage is behind where we had hoped he'd be and Krakouer has come about as far as his ability will take him. The upside of playing Stafford at this stage of his career with Hughes and Schulz in the wings is questionable.

We have enough midfielders capable of kicking goals but Tiva & Tucky should be told not to enter the forward 50.

Staff and Krack must have something on the match committee as they never get dropped anyone know what it is? :confused
 
First of all what forward line? We don have one ATM....Not playing Schulz against that undersized backline is unforgivable...Patto wasnt even played forward for the whole game....what the hell do they expect...probably the one team that you can exploit for height...and we didnt.
Deledio hasnt kicked many goals this year...should be played in the middle running forward.
