Why we let Jordan go is beyond me 

You know very well that he chose to leave as a free agent.  We had no say in it.

Why you persist in peddling this "let him go" furphy is perplexing.

He left because of chances so in effect we let him go

[Demonstone 22,507]

We wanted him to stay.  That's not letting him go.

I can’t see Yze surviving the next 2 years regardless of how good a coach he is. They haven’t hit bottom yet but it’s coming

The expression "poison chalice" springs to mind.

Can we rebrand the leftover merchandise from Ninthmond to Northmond?

When a player is not getting a go regularly and has limited opportunity they all go to greener pastures and that was the case full stop no matter how you want to spin it.

I'm looking at the Norf score and, regardless of the myriad of issues, they should not be this bad. There's a couple of players who do not give a stuff and in just about any other team would be dropped for lack of effort. Zurhaar plays like a bloke marking time until recruited by a big club. He's not alone. Pathetic.

Anyone bored with these games, checkout the southern lights.

Terrible game.

Gosh these 2 games are soooo 1 sided.

Wonder how dimma is enjoying Darwin. Usually likes to complain about travelling. 

These older Geelong players are going to tire easily in the Darwin weather next week

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,242]

Eeek ... those bemoaning the guy leaving should at least get his name right !!

It's Jordon, not Jordan.

Yep and the nrl didn't help me either. The storm got beaten. 

I'm just watching the Darwin game wishing I could get some of their 29 degree weather 

[ANG13 2,063]

Who’s worse Richmond or the Kangaroos?

[dees189227 12,391]

When do Richmond & nth play each other?

North, Richmond and Suns are Essendon’s next three games.

They’ll be top 2 soon. 

We beat St Kilda, West Coast and North in rounds 8,9 and 10 in 2022 and then fell in a hole we haven’t yet quite fully extracted ourselves. Let’s hope same happens to them. .

Losing Harmes, JJ and Gus in one season. They are 3 premiership players. And you wonder why our midfield has fallen off the face of this earth. 
 

Yea a little dramatic… but point to be made. 

Exactly this!!!

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,242]

The highlight of the evening was Joe Montagna saying "here's Humphrey". 

The bar was set very low.

[Jaded No More 68,913]

Richmond have 4 flags to hang their hat on, but what in the sweet Jesus is happening at Norf? 
I never thought I’d see someone be worse than us under Neeld, but I think they have us covered 😧

[dees189227 12,391]

Gee yze can't take a trick with all these injuries.  

Judge him when he has a full list to choose from

Sydney will come back to the pack. Happens every year. They haven’t had too many hard games just yet. 

Did you mean Essendon? Because Sydney is far and away the competition's number 1 seed right now, mainly because they have the league's best record against good sides.

They've beaten the sides currently sitting 3rd, 4th, 5th and 8th, plus 9th and 10th.

No other top 8 side has that many wins against fellow contenders, nor are any of them undefeated against fellow contenders.

It's bizarre that Richmond beat the Swans.

Gold coast play Geelong in Darwin next week and they're without Cameron and Hawkins.

A loss there could see the cats fall as far as 7th at the end of next week.

It is and it’s also a good reminder that these bottom clubs will win matches this year. Just got to make sure we don’t slip up against them. 

[dl4e 5,851]

Feel a bit sorry for Yze but not for Richmond.
