You'll probably win the bet but if someone put that bet to me it'd be a little too close for comfort.

Jaded waiting for the warning:

...that post was really random.

In theory it was a good bet, but IMO i can see Hardwick giving them something next year and for them to have a good one...before going back to shitness. Still don't see how they could finsih above us

ha, I don't think I'd ever make a bet where if i win i see a dudes wang!

That aside I cant see Richmond finishing above 15th, we were a game and a bit behind them this year and we were trying to lose! They were talking finals! Big changes to their list means they will take time to gel together as a unit, whereas we have had almost the same group pushing for selection for 1 or 2 years. As already said the draw will play a factor, but we are a better team than Richmond, if only for our attitude and heart.

When it comes down to it, if it wasnt for the hero Jordan Mcmahon, we wouldve finished above them this year...

and I can seeing us improving much more than will. Should be a safe bet.

And Spencer and Jamar are better than Vickery and whoever their other ruckman is.

Spencer a better prospect than Vickery and Graham? I like tangles, but geez that's a big call. Thought Angus Graham was pretty impressive this year, and Vickery has talent to burn.

That said, Richmond are so crap tho. Will likely spend the next 4 or more seasons in the bottom 4.

bleeding_red&blue, you're safe as houses mate!

I should have said that they're better right now. Over time I expect Vickery to improve and end up better than Spencer. But I think that next year our rucks will be better than theirs.

Graham I don't rate.

Having an argument with a friend of mine the other day about Richmond. Because this guy is always in my ear about how great they are going to be and how their list is the making of a team of the century, i have grown to hate Richmond. I always want them to lose so he will shut up.

I have made a bet with him already, and it is still a year being off complete, but the bet is that Melbourne will finish higher than Richmond on the ladder next year.

Was this a stupid bet?

Personally i think it's a lock for me to win.

If he wins i have to nude run a Km on Nepean highway, and visa versa

I think you should buy him a Wally warmer. :)

I think it will be the equivalent of Gardenvale to Elsternwick along the hwy

That's just near me. i want to see this bet!!

I will make sure i am wearing my footy jumper when it happens.

Injuries will play the major role, but if our best get on the ground we really should be looking towards september next year.

Richmond are at least two years behind us on paper. That said i rate Hardwick very highly. I hope i can say the same about Bailey once the forward line is "run in"

It also means, as I've had pointed out to me recently, that I had so Overlooked, embarrassingly, that I've been saying that the Tiges could get picks 4 & 6 this Draft. Of course they cant, Not because there's no priority, there Is, but I hadn't checked the simple matter of how many games the tiges actually won last year,,, needless to say, they don't qualify for a priority pick anyway. well, not at the start (early in) of the 1st Rnd. But they can still get a priority pick at the start of the 2nd Rnd.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
