The first half was terrible by us, but some of the football Richmond played was great - especially some of Bolton and Martin's games.
The second half was very watchable and was punctuated by some brilliant goals and excellent defensive play by Wilkie and Battle and Wilson.

Happy to move on from this week but the next 3 weeks are going to be a huge test. Can we win any of the following? GWS Away Bulldogs at Marvel Port Adelaide Away The Essendon loss is really going to haunt us later in the season. Put it this way, had any of those 3 teams been our opposition today th...

The Suns don't combine well as a team. Won't play finals this season, and even if by some miracle they make it, it will be shortlived and a flash in the pan.
We should make a play for Noah Anderson, I reckon.

We match up well against GWS. I am more confident against them than I am of us versing Cats, Essendon or Port or the Crows if I'm being honest.

Owens, Windhager, Caminiti, Phillipou, Wanganeen-Milera, Wilson, Sharman and Hastie should all stay in the side when able to do so. Collard could come in too, based on what he has been doing at Sandy.
They, along with King, Higgins, and Stocker are the future.

There are 10 premiership players in today's Richmond side - many of those are dual/multiple premiership players - plus Taranto. It won't be easy this afternoon. How many premiership players did they have when we beat them by 6 goals last time we played them? Richmond were out of the finals race las...

There are 10 premiership players in today's Richmond side - many of those are dual/multiple premiership players - plus Taranto. It won't be easy this afternoon. I recognise and respect RTB's long record of getting his teams to bounce back straight away after a loss, but I worry about the club's reco...

North are the new GWS or GC While they are banking an arsenal of top 5 picks they’ll be a basket case - until a core gets to 23/24yo Then they will shoot into the top 4 Gold Coast haven't even made the finals yet. Too early to predict what they will do this year but I think they'll finish around ni...

North were better under Ratts. They didn't win a game. :lol: :lol: North were clearly better under Ratten. Lost to the Swans by 3 points due to an interchange bench error Lost to Essendon by 6 points when * player kicked a goal out of his a**e Lost to us by 8 points despite dominating the game and ...

They were much more competitive under Ratts. More consistent too.

North were better under Ratts.

A bit different to the last time RL was coach.
We are certainly developing a lot more players - esp youth.
Hopefully even with the injuries and inexperience in the team we can make finals. That type of experience is priceless.

Ever watched the opening scene in "The Last Boy Scout". Juiced guy scores but has to shoot opponents to get over the line. What can go wrong with AFL turning a blind eye; sponsor is betting industry not the Red Cross. $$$ talk, spin wins. Product will suffer, but. "I get by, I don't ...

Oh, well, Kid Caminiti gets his chance.

I hope we win Saturday is all I will say.

Looks like we'll be without Brad, Liam, JWeb, and Hunter Clark for at least a third of the season.
It gives others a chance, and like last year if we make finals we'll certainly deserve to be there.
I think Jones is a good replacement for Brad.

They set themselves to go at Sydney with aggression.He's lucky to only get the four, for mine. I think Draper's one was worthy of a week too, tbh.

I think there would be a few at Fold Coast who would be amenable to playing games in front of 60,000 + and having a chance of playing in a final at least once in their careers. I think we look northward at the end of the year and start talking to a few of the Suns. It appears that rumours of the Sun...

Wright left the ground He’s gone 4 at minimum Only thing that saved him from more is he’s facing the ball unlike Webster The club ought to kick up a real stink about this behind the scenes if he gets off with a couple. As far as I am concerned, the ground rules have been set and there must be consi...

To appeal Max's 1 match suspension.

Appeal Max! Free the King!

Should've been more of a response from our players I reckon.

Max King owes Lancey a coffee during the week People saying he shouldn't have been made the sub He basically did his job and got in the right position but got burned by King who wanted all the glory for himself. Collard very stiff and should have had his first AFL goal last night Collard is clearly...

Yes, his debut for the club was very promising. He looks to be very creative and a real headache for the opposition.
Great pickup!

How can it not be (warped)? The backline which is our strength was missing Sinclair, Howard, Webster and Paton. Fair outs for a seventh place team (in 2024). Our midfield is missing Clark and Dow. Forward line missing our best pressure forward in Butler. Can't use injuries as an excuse because we ha...
