It could go either way WJ. Maybe the club did all they could to help and support him? Was the club fully aware of what had happened previously at the ER and did Daniel speak up to the club about his experience? I presume perhaps not and the poor kid was simply too scared to speak up. Thinking back at the time I mean we had some pretty strong indigenous influences at the club like Matty Whelan, Byron Pickett and Aaron Davey. Did he raise this with them, because I would like to think these guys would have been a significant support for him at the club and a voice for him. Either way it's incredibly sad and as I found myself reading the ABC article on the weekend I was waiting for the happy ending story in the end. But there's not. The only positve is good on him wanting to help others and spread the awareness. There far too many incidents like these that simply don't get spoken about at all.

I don't understand why the media are so fixated in wanting Richmond to be serious flag contenders again. Their list is completely cooked and by having Torranto and Hopper now they've completely butchered their list rebuild. They don't have a 1st round pick and with Riewold and Cotchin set to retire they have no up and coming talent coming through. They'll fall harder then Hawthorn have in the next few years.

My mistake, I haven't even seen that as of yet. I thought he was talking about the initial ABC article. But yes, @Satan is correct thats horrible headline. My apologies mate.

Now it's Richmond's turn to be back into flag contention it seems..

I'm sorry, but this was where the original story started? What's actually wrong with this headline? Former Melbourne Demons footballer Daniel Hayes serves Supreme Court writ on AFL and junior coach Mark Heaney The article has nothing to do with the Melbourne FC. It's about his experience with the Eastern Rangers assistant coach. The article mentions that he's suing the AFL. Again, nothing to do with the Melbourne Football Club.

One thing that no one has mentioned is Judd Mcvee completely blanketing Chad Wingard who kept him to just 8 disposals and had zero impact on the game.

No I actually do like Sparrow. I've seen some Improvement and probably bit harsh by saying i didnt see any at all, but I have high expectation on him considering some of his best footy I've seen was around that 2021 finals series. Whilst you say he's improved in most facets of his game he's still rated only 'average' for majority of these. So yes, just shows he was rated pretty poorly last year if he's improved but yet still rated as only average. For a guy that is suppose to be an inside bull that compliments our star midfielders he's actually rated 'below average' for contested possession and ground ball gets. Agree with the overload of inside mids. The issue with having so many is they're generally very similar in terms of not having the composure and class to compliment the the likes of Viney, Oliver and Petracca who at times do lack the composure and finishing off skill. Sparrow, Jordon, Harmes are all similar foot soliders that are good defensively but don't really add much going the other way. Going after an elite junior mid would be my top priority in the draft. Guys like Duursma (who is similar to Connor Rozee), Darcy Wilson and Nick Watson are 3 that come to mind already.

Where did you get 70 from? He's listed as 32.

Wouldn't say multiple but I definitely see theirs a lot stable then our current game plan which to be fair isn't far off at all.

Take the week. Was ordinary yesterday and have seen nothing to suggest he's improved at all this year. Jordon or Harmes can take his spot.

Give it a rest demonsterative. Lots is said on here others don't agree with. Most let it go.

Pendlebury getting subbed completely [censored] my multi 😭😭

Exactly how I knew you'd answer based on having zero factual information, so you randomly make it up.

Adelaide are actually a strong side at home. Glad we're playing them at the G.

Inept in marking contests? Haha mate who's not brought in to be a contested marking beast. I'm still waiting for an answer on your ridiculous suggestion you made last week that "They've trained the speed out of him" because his too fit? Explain what exactly this even means from a professional fitness point of view? actually Intrigued to read your answer on this as I would guess you have some sort of qualification to back this up?

Dixon strained his quad during the week and Marshall will be out with concussion. It's a good start at least.

Always thought JJ would make a fine tagger especially on a half forward/midfield where he is able to shut down the games best quarter back. I think of Nick Daicos for this instance. He's incredibly disciplined and ultimate professional when it comes to doing the team things.

I would too based on form. I like have the extra midfielder rolling in there instead of having 4 small forwards. Unfortunately this comes with territory when you are constantly challenging for a flag. You'll always get those borderline best 22 that'll eventually get squeezed out.

There's a hint of sarcasm in that comment 'Red' 😁

Told you all the lawyers were good.

Sorry I've given up.

Just saw that McDonald is the sole tall being named as emergency 🤮🤮 Please for the love of God now another reason for JVR not to be suspended.

Because we're better lawyers.
