"Yarran arrived at Richmond for the pre-season overweight and has injured his calf muscle twice in the pre-season."

If you turn up overweight you obviously haven't done enough training in the break. If you haven't and then try to keep up with pre season training you are likely to get injured. Double whammy. There was a lot of talk last year about us trying to get him. Phew, not our problem.

Lesson here about being careful in recruiting players who have attitude problems at their old Club and thinking you are going to turn them around. Sylvia anyone. You are on notice StKilda.

    Interestingly there was an article about Menzel at Adelaide also not coming back in good enough condition and having to go off into the fitness group as his fitness level isn't good enough for their midfield. Mentioned that Jacobs and Betts were able to advise the fitness people what to expect from a player coming from the Blues.

    Sounds like us a couple of years ago.

    Didn't the Blues have Dave Buttifant as fitness adviser? The same guy who was credited with getting the Pies into finals with Malthouse?

    Interesting, if so, that he wasn't able to stay ahead of the curve or get the Blues to train to the required standards..

    Interesting story I heard on SEN yesterday about the Blues.

    It seems they did a survey of members and a third of female members said they did not feel comfortable around the club or when attending home games.

    They felt they were less than welcome and  it was very much a boys club

    If you are feeling we are no chance to make the finals then glance Richmonds way. They suck, hugely. They are the definition of mediocrity. The Tigers should give us hope and confidence

    I don't see any reason why we can't be better than them, take their top 8 spot and play first week of the finals

    I definitely agree with this. My uncle was a blues supporter and took me to a bunch of games when I was a kid. I really hated the atmosphere in the members section at Optus Oval. It felt unwelcoming, there was lots of swearing and yelling. It felt intimidating.

    Doesn't surprise me that their female members feel like that too.

    Fairly confident that back then Choke it would not have mattered where you went footy clubs were very blokey places.

    Most have since changed substantially but not so much at Carlton it would seem.

    We turned Garlett around.

    Its a risk but that why some clubs are willing to take those risks because of the potential. We saw that with Garlett.

    Btw does anyone know what pick Richmond gave up for Yarran?

    Pick 19, which ended up being David Cunningham.

    Oh absolutely Shorts is a gun

    But Jeff aint far behind him if he can just straighten up those shots at goal. 

    Does he actually run too fast to have steady aim when kicking??

    so easily could have dobbed 60 goals last season. 

    Misses often by centimetres!

    In his case it's not onfield we have to worry about, its off field. So fingers crossed they have been able to do both. His domestic situation is very complicated apparently and a lot of behaviour problems caused by his partner. Hopefully its all sorted now. He seems to be naturally shy and having a year under his belt in the Club will probably set him up even more for this season

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
