That's one example though. And I would say that's an example of how strong the culture of the Richmond FC is already. How would you rate the Fremantle football club though? Why do you think Lachie Neale was so desperate to get out and go to Brisbane? I have a family member that works in the media in WA and the culture at Freo became a mess under Lyon. Too many bad characters. I reckon it'd be worth asking Freo fans if they think it was worth it.

It worries me that we're speaking with both Bennell and now Sam Murray and could potentially have both on our list soon. As much talent as they both have, culture is more important IMO. Only takes a few bad seeds to infect the club.

There's no excuse for May. He's turned up at a new club out of shape and is now paying the price with soft tissue injuries.

That little checked kick by Hunt to find a target inside 50. He looks on this season. Would have blazed away previously.

Feels like we have a lot of weapons in the forward half now. Preuss looks like a handful and throw Joel Smith in there, there's a lot for the coaching staff to work with on top of what we already had.

Hore has looked impressive.

Little taste test of what we might get in the forward line this year. Jeremy Who?

Far out, that sent shivers down my spine. Might give up my morning coffee and just drink this down every day instead.

It feels like this preseason we've had way more guys starting slow and recovering from surgery, not to mention a few injuries thrown in. Anyone else concerned heading into the season? I've got a slightly uneasy feeling about it all. Hopefully I'm just being paranoid!

McLure is 100% a goose.

GC are quite right to play hard ball on May, but I'll be disappointed if we have to give up 5 to get him.

Bloody love Vanders. Great news!

Totally agree, this could be a genius move. I can see the media gushing over Jason Taylor and his team next season if it comes off.

I feel for the guy too. Had to put his body on the line a few times this year and it resulted in an injury. Pretty sure both times he'd just come back in and looked sharp. Our forward line looks super dangerous with him playing IMO.

I'm in the same boat as a few people here. I'm a Dees supporter living in Perth and would love to grab a couple of tix to make up some more numbers at the game this week. Not trying to dupe anyone and happy to try and prove it's all legit and honest intentions. If anyone has a membership number they can throw my way I'd be forever grateful.

It's hard not to feel giddy with excitement about all this. Especially after recent years of not being a 'destination club' and seeing players go elsewhere. All the hype around Lever seems warranted.
