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.

To this day, no Thesaurus can handle 'Chicxulub'.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
