Good to hear we’ve got the brains-trust commentating tonight. Richmond kick their first goal: Hamish, “And the Saints get their first.” When Luke Darcy comes across as the smartest in the room… you’re in trouble. 

You look like you've lost weight.

Bedford 7 tackles. Those tackles would be handy in our forward half.

No wonder the club was [censored] off losing him.

Toby still the No.1 tackler inside 50 averaging 2.50 tackles per match

Kozzy nipping at his heals in 2nd on 2.36

They paint everything! Anything that can be painted, they’ll paint it. And if you ask them why they’ll simply say, “we like painting.”

It's great to see WCW. I've always seen run throughs from a creative perspective and lament the modern day version. It's not my place to be giving our current gang ideas but if I were to offer one piece of advice it would be when using a printed picture to cut around the outline of the player and place that directly on the backing. Unless the background of the picture matches perfectly with the colour of the backing. It needs to look seamless. Also, it needs to be balanced evenly between top, bottom and side as well as the lettering on the opposite side. 

Not easily done, Rab. Images are “optically centred” meaning more space at the bottom than at the top.

Also we have to be mindful of the top of the banner sagging forward or backwards at the top (Buddy was decapitated on his milestone banner last week because they stuck him on too close to the top).

Another thing to consider is that the middle of the bottom of the banner must have minimal tape since that’s where the players run through.

Also, we have to include several flaps (we cut out three sides of a 12 x 12inch-ish square every few feet) lest the banner turns into a 17th century sailing boat. 😬 These flaps have to be taken into account in terms of letter placement.

The front lettering lining up with the back lettering can’t usually happen, different number of lines, wind flaps etc.

 I understand what you mean about cutting the outline of the player, but that can’t happen with a montage, and that’s what the Club likes to have.

If that half time score of Richmond 10.7.67 to St Kilda 8.2.50 looks familiar, it’s exactly the same as Melbourne’s lead over Collingwood in Round 21 last year. The Pies got up in that game.

At some stage in the not to distant future .... the banner will be a 3D hologram.

The players will break the plain in a smokey haze

Hashtag random. 😂

You remember this score info, or you looked it up?

Yep. Remember the complexities only too well. Pity you have to defer to the club. It used to be our way or the highway 😂

Collingwood and Essendon seem to have the highest % of scumbag fans whilst Richmond's just tend to be missing a chromosome.

I hope Richmond continue this form into next week. Then lose every game 'til the end of the season.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
