Could a VFL Rep side beat Richmond.

Submitted by burraburger on

Last week I noticed Richmond played a practice game against Coburg and won by 80 odd points. It got me thinking I recon my VFL team is a 5 goal better team than Coburg....
So I wonder what would happen if a VFL team made up of only VFL listed took on Richmond?? Would they be a chance?? Id have the game played at a smallish VFL venue to give the VFL side every chance.

I'm a Richmond supporter, and a rep-side would fix up the side that played on saturday, but add cousins, daniel jackson, Luke McGuane, Will Thursfield, Troy Simmonds, and we should have it covered. Not at AFL level, but at least a VFL rep-side!

Scores were close at quarter time against Coburg I heard!!!?!?!?$%$#$%^?

Last year a young Casey team thrashed a Coburg team that had almost a full Richmond team that had Cousins, Cotchett etc etc.

The way Richmond went during the first three quarters on Saturday they wouldn't beat an egg. Hardwick is on the right track but will take a long time and plenty of patience. They have no other option. If the young kids are no good they will have to keep turning them over until they recruit the right mix.
With GC (2011) and West Sydney crap (2012) into the afl they will not be priority or number one picks available. Thats where the recruiters must be good and pick the right ones.

On the first three quarters shown by Richmond the answer to the question on this thread is NO, they wouldn't.

And yes I am a Richmond supporter. The reality is a long long season ahead for the yellow and black.

The trouble is the etc etc part. These were players who, although on the Richmond list, couldn't get a game with Richmond.

Got a feeling, might be wrong) that it was an AFL split round or when wallace got the heave ho and Coburg had a number of AFL listed blokes who played a lot of games for Richmond last year.

Polak, Pettifer, Schulz, Bowden, Tuck, Couglan to our 4 AFL listed players.
