Of our list, we've got 17 players with 100 games or more, of which only 3 didn't play in the Grand Final (Tomlinson, Melksham and Dunstan). So thats 14 out of our 23 in the GF, means they've generally played a fair bit of footy together now. With Hunt and Fritsch on the cusp they should both pass the 100 game mark next year. No-one on our list has played 200 games, Melksham on 195 may reach that, Mcdonald on 193 will. 11 guys on our list, including recent draftees, have played 10 games or less. To me, thats a pretty well balanced list. We would have no real need to top up with experienced players in the next couple of trade periods, unless a lack of depth in any particular area is uncovered.

Falcons, Saints, Seahawks I like the idea of the bonus point too!

The #22 guernsey is currently free too, given VDBs departure. Wonder if he'll be offered it or choose to make a different number his own.

Ravens, Niners, Washington

That pass from Stafford to OBJ intercepted by Ward early sums up Stafford for me, what was he thinking? Was great for us to have Jimmie Ward back, he doubled his career interceptions total in this game. Our gameplan was pretty simple, ground and pound, or get it to Deebo, he's been immense this year.

Had to pick something up at Highpoint on Saturday, the AFL Shop has quite a lot of the Knight designed merch in stock, as well as stickers/stubby holders/mugs etc. Rebel had the Jerseys with the team on the back, polo tops and scarves. All looked OK in person And picked up these three high gloss print/photos from Taylor Made, they were due to be framed but I requested them without being framed, were $20 each, somewhere between A4 and A3 size I guess. (magazine for scale)

Hunt's loss was Bowey's gain. Feel for him as we having a good, consistent season, kept to the one position for once and was really playing to his strengths with that run off half back. For mine is still in our best 22/23, ahead of Hibberd as he's a better rebounder, albeit a negligibly lesser defender. Bowey may well have a couple of sophomore form dips, so competition for this spot will be hotly contested.

If you wanna really get into the nitty gritty of the GF centre square clearance-fest this video is a great watch

Had a fantastic year, his ability to run the length of the field to help out at both ends is a real asset. He's exactly the Isaac Smith clone we were looking for, except he's 25 and Smith is 32. That Grand Final goal, as already highlighted, showcases just how great a runner he is. What a bargain trade he's turned out to be from Freo!

Looks like they copy-pasted the blurb from the Richmond 2019 version! https://www.qbd.com.au/tiger-triumph-the-pictorial-history-of-richmonds-2019-premiership/peter-di-sisto/9781743796368/ Tiger Triumph: The Pictorial History of Richmond's 2019 Premiership uses stunning images from AFL Media’s photographers to tell the story of their 2019 AFL Premiership triumph. Tracking the highs, lows and thrilling conclusion to the winning team’s dream run to the Premiership dais, Tiger Triumph captures the defining moments of the season, from the first ragged sprints of pre-season training to the giddy highs of a remarkable finals series —all culminating in the colour and pageantry of the one day great in September.

Another 'book' has been listed I see: https://www.theaflstore.com.au/products/at-last-the-pictorial-history-of-melbournes-2021-afl-premiership Not sure how closely they proof read the blurb though: "At Last! uses stunning images from AFL Media’s photographers to tell the story of their 2019 AFL Premiership triumph."

I can't believe they've been paying him to write these columns for 5 years, but here it is: Gary Buckenara analyses Richmond’s list after 2016 season RICHMOND’s list lacks a combination of A and B-grade talent and their trade target shouldn’t be Travis Cloke but another Magpie instead. GARY BUCKENARA analyses Richmond’s list. "I don’t think the list they’ve got right now is good enough to win a premiership." https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/teams/richmond/gary-buckenara-analyses-richmonds-list-after-2016-season/news-story/ad932619a92a4831779af3e9da14080f The team then went on to win 3 of the next 4 Premierships! So yeah, lets hope Bucky continues to rate Petracca a B-grader, Tim English an A-grader and picks Carlton for the flag next year...
