leave it to deever

Will Grundy employ his run at opposite ruckman tactics again? Wasn't a good look for the game but obviously within the rules.

He's a quality KPF for sure. I think people forget it's really only his second year. Had a great season last year and I believe he will continue on this growth trajectory. In doing so he will be a wonderful player for the club. But the reality is it's early days still. As such having him as our only real tall without injury really shows how exposed we are. It's also a lot on the shoulders of a young player. Hurry up Petty we need you.

Really looking forward to tonight's clash. Let's hope the umpires don't decide this one. I'm interested to see how the Swans rate against another team. And very excited about the possibility of a nice filth loss. Wasn't happy with Swannies supporters last week but as the old saying goes.... the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Go Swans.

Perhaps Tmac given that Hore is in an as well, could be swung fwd if necessary. Maybe that's why he was selected over Tommo. Not saying I agree with it but just wondering why.

Stoked he's back at the Mfc. Always thought he's underrated.

I'm sure they noticed as well. There must be strong reasons why Tommo was dropped after a very solid performance. The problem for me is that it's happened to Tommo before. Combined with other selections like Laurie getting the nod over Billings last week and selected again this round seems contrary to players performances. This is all hot off the heals of the Laurie sub selection in the pie final and then Grundy being omitted in both finals. There may be inside logic as you say to all these but taken collectively for the outsider looking in, it's very, very hard to fathom.

There's been a significant rivalry pop up bw us and the dogs lately. May it continue with us beating them by 27 points. Our mids to dominate with Jv best on ground and Kozzie to have a picnic. Maybe I'm as deluded as some of these comments? Ps don't answer.

If we lose and Tmac has a poor one, then those questions will be up and about for sure. Fortunately I think we will account for the dogs quite well.

Your not alone in your disbelief Despicable. I think it's pretty clear not a few Demonlanders are scratching their heads on this one. I hope Billings gets picked over Laurie as the sub this week too. It must be somewhat demotivating for poor Tommo to be dropped.

Aside from Tmacs two final performances, I think the issue is we have seen Tommo play in a real game and he was one of our better players so he shouldn't get dropped.

I hope so.

I think you answered your own question.

The advantage rule seems to have not worked out. So often umps are late with the whistle and players don't hear the call.

Game on.

That was a mark to the tigers player. Umps have paid those all night. I'd be livid if I was a Richmond supporter.

Yep, I was enjoying this game until they stepped in. Can't blow the whistle fast enough against Tigers.

Umps having a big impact tonight.

And here come the umpires.

Except Tommo played well and Tmac' s last two he couldn't get near the ball. Really feel sorry for Tommo. Not the first time he's been dropped after a good game either.

100 percent with you on this. It's a poor signal.

And another game gifted to Laurie.

I thought Tommo was one of our better players. Easy top nine. What gives?

Cracking game. Come on tigers. Maybe Tigers will be fresher.

I'm not buying this. I love Petty but the jury is out on the condition of his body. Has been injured a lot and surely any club would be watching how he goes this season before saying it's a done deal.

More scuttlebutt about Petty going to the croweaters next year. We can't even get him on the park. Is it open season on Dees players?
