Why the hate for Richmond?

They have certainly done the hard yards and as a long term tenant of the MCG their supporter base far outweighs ours.

They have three stand out players that contribute most if not all weeks. When their finals hopes were on the line they performed including a thrashing of Freo in Perth.

Hell... I'm jealous... hope GWS win the big one

PS Good article in the Guardian and as usual the comments make great reading:

Let us acknowledge we are all experts in hindsight.

At least he stuck with his selected club and has shown loyalty (albeit well compensated), which is more than Scully. He could not seem tho look anybody at MFC in the eye whilst he was here almost as if he knew it was temporary.

Plus nobody would have wished the bad luck with injuries to one of our most loyal players in Trengove

I'll just say this one more time

Dusty's one arm fend off is so predictable his game is based on it 

All it needs is a  midfield counter activate like Selwood MK 2 to grab that fend off arm and pin it to his body and render it inaffective

I call it the Aunty Jack I'll rip your bluddy arm off rule . 

The AFL has been so innafictave on this rule this year it has allowed mind boggling tackling verses holding the ball decisions

easier said than done

dusty is a gem to watch; his ability to impact the contests and use the ball by foot is so good to watch, he's a massive weapon

He's a great player now but I don't care at all that we never drafted hm.

I would much prefer Fyfe from that draft if we could hop in a time machine.

and in his underage year you would never have predicted that he would become the player that he has become

such is the risk of assessing 17 year olds

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
