Plus Melksham who missed most of last year. Fritsch who hasn't been able to play there consistently. AVB if he ever gets back on the park. Hannan after missing over a year.  Mind you none of them are KPF's. 

I'm pretty sure Richmond won a flag with just one KPF

Why are people saying he won’t play in Round 2?

The idea appears to be that he won’t be quite ready for the restart but without a VFL competition, that means another week or two of training. 

 I wonder however, if he continues to impress at training and the AFL allows two extra interchange players, whether he might be given a limited run against Carlton.

Gee it will tempt the selectors if he continues to "Dazzle" on the track and has no other setbacks ,but the AFL Decision to stick to four interchanges might scarper the inclination to play him first up!

The responsibility that comes with having a first child is life changing and in my opinion is the primary driver behind HB getting his [censored] together. 
 

Not a bad journey back from blowing coke, public drunkenness and blueing.

Quite refreshing to see someone turn their life around and get serious about things. Hope it continues and he can carve out 100 magnificent games for the Dees!

Hoping his dedication to getting serious about his football rubs off on a lot of the playing group.

Your forgetting he had two other blokes who weren't in Richmond jumpers playing there as well which were hard to man up...

I'm in the wait a while camp at this stage, only because of what HB will face if our forward line is not a cohesive unit that can create space, which he will need, and i would like to see initially if we are anywhere near there in the first half a dozen games.

Apparently, the extra interchange isn’t going to happen.

You must have a decent Thesaurus.   Mine is not only terrible, it's terrible.

What's another word for thesaurus?

Round 2 seems a bit early, during pre-season they were always aiming for mid-way through the season. 

Round 2 will be midway through a normal season.

Yep, that was my hilarious joke. 

FWIW, I think he’ll play round two.

Didn't save them from extirpation, though.

The rumour, gossip, buzz, whisper, report, tattle is that a comet, falling star, fireball, meteorite, meteoroid fell to earth and they burst, detonated, erupted, exploded into flames.

Nope, they don't cut it. And many of them you may have noticed are more than 1 word.

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
