we can still make the 8

Hogan bending his team mates over with that kick

I want to see Gawn belt the ball forward once every ten hit outs or just know when to do it and have a player ready. Codeword pls

Petrucka stormed through the midfield today killing 3 Gold Coast players. Josh Mahoney has claimed responsibility Terrible joke sorry.

One does not simpley tackle Petracca

THE TMAC ARRIVES

Maybe Dawes gets selected because of his attractiveness?

The Ox needs a change of culture we could provide too.

Now that thats off limits, there's still hope that Port can win 3/4, Saints all 4, the Kangas/Dogs lose 3 or 4 or Eagles lose 4. So little to be entertained by this year. trying to find something.

I mentioned that The Geelong game was a milestone because GAWN arrived in dominant fashion. But someone interjected that GAWN + SPENCER played together for that day and it was also the last time. If Vickery is off the cards then how about we [censored] play Spencer

Glad I didn't go to this Etihad game, i had contemplated it. Dodged a bullet

Vickery

Maybe the point is that Richmond fans should be more vocal about equalisation than ripping the footy club to shreds this time around. They have a big voice and should use it. A club tried to penetrate the top tier of the league and fell away back to the bottom is the story here, its not completely about richmond and their culture.

I mean historically they're similar club to Melbourne. All we have over them is one grand final appearance, and they have their last premierships 10 years later than ours. Just seems like the league goes around in circles, bagging the unsuccessful clubs over and over. Edit: Low table poppy syndrome. SImilar thing happening to the Kangas now that they've lost 6 our of 7 games or whatever it is and the last two prelims. A historically unsuccessful club makes a strong effort at some success, doesn't get any over 3 years and falls away and we all laugh at them when they fall away.

Such a circlejerk around bagging richmond. They're the most similar club in the AFL to Melbourne. They're Melbourne with more members.

Geelong in 14 did a similar thing. Won every close game, was like 3rd on the ladder despite play mid-table quality football all year. Got rolled in straight sets.

They'll towel up our defence and their third man up will mark the ball whenever we bomb it long. It would be amazing to knock them off, and so soul crushing for the home crowd, but realistically they'll be playing for a home final vs adelaide and will probably win. I haven't given up, but at least take some solace in this being a saturday game after adelaide have played and they will most likely have to beat us by a certain margin to get a home final v Adelaide. They might have to beat us by anywhere between 20 and 60 points. If a loss is likely, let's hope our boys play to the final siren knowing they can send the Cats to an away final v adelaide or even sydney or gws and an extremely unlikely tilt at a premiership. This is according to my ladder predictor and the standard predictions. (Go crows!)

Goodwin, Melksham, Hurley and Hibberd, Wagner, Frost & Jetta Cmon you Melbourne ReboundBombers, it's the last lap of the race, bring it home.

It was the first time Max Gawn absolutely dominated. One of the most dominant performances from one player on a team across the league all year. Bernie Vince also had one of his best performances from memory. It was the style of win. We didn't scrape over the line and win by a point. We beat them all day and ran training drills around them.

He's improved this year. Stayed on topic, hasn't made too many big bonar brown name changes or poofter gaffes. As for Ling or captain obvious. How about they keep him on the boundary and turn his mic on for 20 seconds every 10 or so minutes.

I thought the only drawback to Hurley was his age, but he's still very young. All Australian CHB already. Granted he's had 2 years more experience but irrespective, he's AA. TMac was in AA form until he was toweled up by Cloke, then he was toweled up many times after that. From AA form to Casey form. He's picked things up and gotten more consistency and has potential, but he's nowhere near as good as Hurley was with his consistent form over 2 or 3 years.

Lots of meth up there too. I think we're noticing a pattern here..

DAE Roos is playing a side based on 'future' idealism rather than form? I wonder if it's cost us 3 games this year.

Has Todd Viney been called as an expert witness?

Jacko illustrating why retro round is confined to one week of the year and not 25. People think he made some good points because the common narrative is to bag out the afl instead of showing gratitude. We have a thriving 18 club competition model that lifts up the poorest and keeps them from folding that has eliminated thuggery and developed a social conscience. The complexity of Equalisation aside, its about time people showed some appreciation to the AFL instead of acting like they're the big enemy. To simplify, It reminds me of how everyone hated high school, and yet high school is responsible for socialising you and helping you develop into further studies and employment. The AFL is responsible for taking the game national and creating a sustainable and thriving business model. It's responsible for people like Peter Jackson and Paul Roos being delivered to us. The VFL is still there for all the people like Jacko that want the "purist" form of footy, though you might have to start a brawl in the outer if you want to get the closest form. Good riddance to people like him and as Gerard said on 360: I lasted about 8 minutes and decided I had something better to do than watch this.
