Another Covid breach by Richmond

Sick relatives, newborn babies, anxiety attacks, desperate homesickness...

But heaven forbid, another month without getting sauced and looking at [censored].

Richmond have proven themselves serial offenders on every level of arrogance. The 'slip ups' generosity we all offer is exhausted and it's clear they've made a choice of what kind of culture they want to have.

I'm freshly re-motivated to see us make the finals just for the chance to lay into this overstuffed git-King of a club. Finish eighth, they'll land in fifth. The hunt is on.

Anyone else find it interesting that the AFL has apparently been investigating for a week but was able to announce penalties only a few hours after media got wind of it.

1. Had they already thought of the penalty and only thought to apply it once it went public (in attempt to keep it quiet)

2. Announced penalty quickly after media caught wind to  avoid further digging/questions/scrutinisation from occurring.

Something tells me that a lot more breaches have occurred and have been investigated with sanctions only occurring if they are caught out by the public.


Timing of these sanctions is way to convenient.

If it's us, great, but whatever team eliminates Richmond from finals this year will automatically be a favourite of mine.

Er, unless its Essendon

It would be ironic if Richmond are deprived of a 2020 flag because the GF is cancelled due to a 'hot-spot' developing at their camp.

I am praying for poetic justice. Entitled brats.

Why he hell is Damian Barrett up there?  I felt physically ill watching him do a report in the Queensland sunshine.

And where are they shooting the Sunday Footy Show?   Five guys sat at a table with no masks on..  meanwhile all the rest of us are muzzled and cant visit anyone.    Or is the Footy Show shooting in Queensland too?   And Footy classified?

My 70 year old mother had to get a special letter of exemption from the Queensland department of Health (which took her months) just to be able to visit my brother, who is dying of liver and bowel cancer in Brisbane. Then she had to do 2 weeks of quarantine by herself, where she got fresh air exactly twice in those 2 weeks (including doing a 9 day streak with no outside air at all).

I’m not allowed to travel to Queensland and may never see my brother again.

The Queensland government and the AFL needs to explain to me, my family, and the literally thousands of other people with heart breaking stories like mine why they are getting such a sweet deal - when they continue to prove they can’t even live by the most basic, community minded rules.

It makes me sick.

My best wishes to your brother and your whole family. I just can’t even imagine what you must all be going through. 
 

My thoughts are:

1- This penalty does nothing to deter idiots from being idiots. They should have been stripped (no pun intended) of premiership points 

2- I am glad they are making the players pay the fine. A grown up should take responsibility for his actions. If you’re old enough to stare at [censored] you’re old enough to live with the consequences of your actions. And Richmond shouldn’t have to make someone else redundant because of these flogs 

3- Nobody orders a kebab at 3am if sober

Interesting spin by Richmond, 'we take no responsibility for our players, you're all quite welcome to dump on them individually, there is no larger problem here... again'.

Brain surgeons the lot of them. 
Hope they enjoy being back in Melbourne where they can’t even get a tinder hookup.

i still want to know if the $100k hits the footy dept or the player's ONLY

they've said that stack and cc-j will cover $75k of the $100k - does that mean it's 'only' a $25k hit to the richmond footy dept. soft cap in 2021?

That is what I understand. 
While I want Richmond to get hit with $100k to the soft cap, all this does is help yet another AFL employee lose their job. 
These highly paid morons deserve to pay for most of this fine. It’s only fair. 
As for the club itself, should have lost 4 premiership points.

I think the $25k was for **checks with AFL Media** Trent Cotchin's wife's Spa Day.

Callum Coleman Jones never heard of him and i'm guessing it isn't the smartest career move. 

Stack is a actually a valuable player for them and will miss htem. 

But seriously what were they thinking? They get an uber to a strip club where you are not even supposed to be, they are out at 3:30am then get into a fight. I really do wonder what dimma first said. 

Then Stack went on facebook and made a joke. Now his manager is worried about him. Well guess what, he did it. 

Richmond have stuffed up this hub. Seriously today the competition could have been ended.

That’s all PR, AFLPA arnt gonna permit a player on 100k pay 37.5k back as a fine and Brendan Gale knows it.

Must say I was thinking the same thing

Genuinely think they should be docked 2 premiership points for this breach. This season has been such a monumental effort from so many parties to get it going and for these two dingbats to compromise it is a disgrace. 

I also feel for the fact there will potentially be a club physio, coach, fitness staff who now may have to find another job next year because of these two selfish idiots. The ramifications of their choices are far reaching and could've had bigger consequences. 

Docking them 2 premiership points brings them back to even points so they have to rely on percentage to achieve a higher spot.

As for the AFLPA stopping them being fined such a huge amount, why shouldn't they cop that fine? The breach is their doing and as I mentioned above had potentially huge ramifications on so many people. I think 50/50 with the club is the minimum of what they should be paying.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
