Can't believe people want to send Roo out with a loss in order to gain a draft position.

For some reason, the higher the stakes for Richmond, the more confident I am!

Bombers haven't beaten Freo since 2013

A win for Freo will not alter their ladder position

Ross loves Nick

Dusty's coming to the Saints so will obviously put in another stinker against his future club

Of course he'll play next week.

I'll chuck in a fiddy. He's an amazingly impressive player for his age

Looked really good

Was a perfect tap, and a class goal that killed us.

A perfect tap and a class goal that a well coached team would not have permitted

A well coached team does not lose a football match when up by 10'points with 3 minutes to go in the wet.

Don't have the stats but he seemed to spend a lot more time on the ground today, as you'd hope with Roo out. That in itself is a positive

I'm pissed off with today's match but I guess I have to lower my expectations. I thought Paddy worked well and with better supply (and slightly cleaner hands) it would of been a huge step forward. Instead it was a baby step forward. McClunken, Bruce and Membrey in my opinion should all play togethe...

Paddy the better bloke.

I look forward to seeing Paddy's accuracy skyrocket when he starts to build some confidence. He's a lovely kick

If there's one player Paddy reminds me of in the way he plays, it's big Fev. Does anyone else see the resemblance? Fev didn't set the world on fire in his first 5 years, but obviously became a match-winner, and had he been a bit brighter/more disciplined, could have even much better than he was over...

Me too pls

Is on the AFL Twitter

And 29/30 on kicking drills! Apparently much tougher than past years, re pressure etc

OK apologies if old news then. Barrett the 'news breaker' must be having a quiet week m.

Barrett on TFS with a story about Jimmy being drooped but I only caught the tail. What was it about?

Just not as competitive as is required at AFL level.

None. Didn't say he has. But I reckon 29 and 2 against West Coast would have brought our pessimistic supporters a strained smile.

So you should have been happy with Dunstan earlier in the year.

Thomas is 4 years his senior.

Maybe we can get a BET 365 sponsorship

Buddy played 20 games in his first season...

Couldn't see Fish going toe to toe with Campbell Brown, personally

He's mentioned in an article on the saints website as doing just that - training up a storm - just behind curren - sounds like a good sign - I think we'll pick him up

Unless the Bulldogs do it first!

How?

Very happy with Richardson!!!

Coach for the next decade.
