Richmond's Dan Connors and Dustin Martin in trouble

[drdrake 3,135]

Dees to win this one. 5 outs for the tigers Martin, Connors, Jackson, King and Grimes.

Tigers are a middle of the road side. We will get them this weekend, just need to keep Reiwoldt quiet and work hard against their quicker midfield.

take our 6 that are out Clark, Green, Davey, Jamar, Jurrah, Jones and that is why Richmond should beat us even if we get Jamar and Jones back we still have 4 forwards out. Unless Watts goes to full forward and kicks 4 or Steph has a day out I don't know where our 14 goals to win the game will come from.

Just think Charlie sheen

Ok............"Wiinnniiinnnggg !"

[Range Rover 1,935]

SEN news reporting they admitted to using "sleeping medication" which caused them to miss training. Yeah right!!!!

Here's comes the Richmond cover-up.

"I was bangin' 7-gram rocks, that's how I roll ... Winning! I have one gear ... Go! ... Winning!"

Me thinks the AFL will be knocking on Dustin martins door for a random drug test?

Davey, Green, Jamar, Jones back this week. Your argument is flawed, we are harf a sniff if we pull our fingers out and actually attempt to break from the packs and change the way we enter the forward 50! GO DEES!

Spare me! Sleeping medication!!I What an absolute crock. With 500+ media covering AFL these days my challenge for any hounds out there is to find out what they really did/took. I expect this to be the first question asked and then what on top of that? WTH would Connors agree to walk from his AFL career based on taking a Stillnox or equivalent!

It's absolute garbage. No-one will buy this sleeping tablets nonsense.

Are Richmond going to get away with this out-and-out [snip]???

Even funnier than this "sleeping meds" story.....I just read about Martin living with their Pres Gary March who was keeping an eye on him because they've been worried about his behaviour. March is "unavailable for comment" because he is overseas! LMAO at Richmond. If you are going to have a minder for a player shouldn't they be in the same country to prevent this sort of thing happening?

"While Connors, who is on prescribed sleeping medication, was not drinking alcohol, he had, by his own admission, failed to uphold the standards set by the club by missing the training session,"

"As a result, he has decided to walk away from the club and focus on the next phase of his life."

Sure, you get sacked for failing to turn up to practice after taking "prescribed" medication (begs the question what Martin was doing taking someone else's prescribed medication) - even after previous warnings, that sounds a bit suss? And HE decided to walk away from the club? Hmmmmm.

Did Richmond forgot about journalists, they will find out about the real reason really soon?

[DEELIRIOUS 156]

Sleeping pills my _ _ _ _! No way known, how could a guy get sacked for sleeping pills, that would be a complete outrage!

Oh but he didn't get sacked. They agreed to part "by mutual consent". LOL!

Richmond cover-up now taking place live on SEN

[Left Field 313]

If it were prescription medication, then Richmond would be open to a really serious restraint of trade action (or alternatively workplace bullying).

Not buying it.

[Guest KingDingAling]

I'm wide awake, same as Dusty at tramp at 7am on sundays...

I'm saying I am happy with the trenners call at 2 now instead of dusty who is [snip] most weekends.. while trenners is leading the oldest club in the land.

The difference being that on match day Martin rips it up and looks to be improving - whereas Trenners struggles and looks to be declining.

Martin is the best talent to come through the ranks in a long time.

Yep, the best since Ben Cousins.

HAHA, mutual consent. That's not possible in today's game, I've never EVER hear that term used in relation to a player's decision to leave/retire/be traded..............Unles your name is James McDonald which is pretty sad

Hardly a tough two week sanction when Richmond's opposition in those 2 weeks just happen to be 16th and 18th.

With Macdonald & Clark out our structure, which looked good after the GWS game, has collapsed which means we end up playing people in positions they aren,t up to. Hope I'm wrong but can't see us winning this week.

I've no doubt the draw was one of the first things they looked at before handing out the suspension.

That is fair enough, Macdonald is a big loss because he is so versatile. And Mitch is Mitch. Irreplaceable atm imo as is your opinion
