I was just making the point that Richmond look and insist on different characteristics in their players when they recruit them and attack on the football is a non negotiable if you believe Leppitch.
In the 1st sMurph had zero chance of getting to the footy first so he tackled the KPD, in the 2nd he changed direction because the ball bounced sideways and tried to tap the ball to his advantage while avoiding being wrapped up by the KPD. Which is the whole point of being a forward.
I'm not sure what people see, ................ what they want to see I suspect.
I use the term Von Trapp kids and I'm thinking clubs like Richmond see us in the same light as having several soft players.
Its not a good look for our brand IMO and we need to invest more in players who will take a hit for the club and we need to weed out the ones who consistently fail in this area.
The game is quicker and players will be placed in difficult situations more often and have to respond on instinct more often and thats an issue for some of our blokes.

It stood out to me on TV. Murphy and a freo player running at each other. The ball was probably a 60 40 in the freo players favour due to distance and going harder and lower was probably the right thing for him to do to win that contest.
Thing is, Murphy has not come out of those contests well through his career and was probably right to not go into it when the ball is in dispute on the wing towards the end of the third quarter when we are almost 50 points up.

Murphy is just not physically capable of running full pace into contests any more.
He's clearly had bad shoulders over a long period of time and either consciously or subconsiously protects himself. He slows down to avoid the potential of contact and is very reluctant to tackle most of the time.
I'm not whinging about it (any more) but accepted it a long time ago... it does still make you cringe when you see it though.
And the question is - can you be a successful club with players playing like that in the team?

Love Parks!
Ideal defender. Nothing fancy - long arms allow him to play above his height but is still very mobile. Very well developed for a guy who is only 19! What a massive win for a rookie pick.
Got his jumper of Rhys-Jones... hope some of his mongrel rubs off.

Thought it was third. Probably half the reason they came back.

Indeed!
#26 big shoes to fill.
I'm suspecting Luke Parks got big feet ?
All the best to him. Hope he develops to his very best

Nah I thought the ball was in dispute. Either way I didn't think he had much of a chance to win the footy in the face of an opponent who wasn't intimidated by him running towards the flight of the footy.

Sorry mate I don't have the time to find the incident. (Work and two boys 6 and 4 keep me busy). It was a little further up the ground and closer to the boundary than the one you showed. It might not look as bad on TV as he did make contact with the player but we just happened to be in direct line of it and everyone saw him move. I'm not calling him gutless, he has put his body on the line in the past and proven he would do it. I'm just saying he no longer can or will and that his body is no longer up to the demands of AFL.
If we want to win a premiership we have to be ruthless. History shows not many nice teams win flags.
