instead of bombing the ball inside the f50 without thought, tonight we will attempt to sprint the ball inside the f50 without thought. I had a play on the ladder predictor before and i predict gloom.

Abraham will be lucky to finish the season at Chelsea. They've spent 400 million pounds on players over the last 3 seasons. With a front 4 of Werner in front of Pulisic Havertz Ziyech they should be challenging this season. A lot of pressure on Frank now.

Very curious to see us tonight given the amount of pace that has been injected into the team. Wondering if the called up players will be better cogs in the system than "superior" players who've been played out of position etc. You'd have to hope so.

VERDICT: $100,000 fine and 10 Game Ban for both players.

Jon Ralph just tweeted "Richmond will be handed a second offence breach. Will cost them a staffer or coach next year with a fine of up to $100K which goes into the footy cap. But surely CCJ and Stack have forfeited the right to play again this year. The details" Unlucky for the staffer/coach you'd say

All depends on succession planning with Sparrow and Jordon. Happy to have them on the list, especially with some question mark over long term roles of others.

Disgraceful! Should be docked as many points as required that will secure us a top 8 position. ?

watching this made me wonder this hypothetical. If you could put one ex-demon from the last 20 years into this current MFC team - who would you chose? Neitz would be a very popular pick but we'd still need to address that outside mid!

the 4 day break should give Goodwin the opportunity to make wholesale changes. Get some legs into the team Pickett/Bedford/Hunt/Baker etc Get Preuss back in this week. Will Hibberd be right?

6 - Langdon 5 - Clarry 4 - Max 3 - Tomlinson 2 - May 1 - Petracca?

Whilst our injuries aren't that key, Hibberd, Hore, Jackson, Petty, Sparrow - you'd assume most if not all of these players would get a gig over others selected tonight.

If his body is cooked from tonight you'd assume that it's the end of the road. Sad to see a champion of the club go out like this.

this is one of the things that annoys me, leave him there and settle. I'd rather we did that than play Tomlinson on the wing at the moment and keep him in the backline. Would rather a scenario where Baker/Hunt get a game on the wing just for speed.

Seemed like we were just kicking it to Aliir Aliir most of the time aha

stems from some of the team selection this week and general list management recently. I know we've got some injuries but never a good sign when you're bombing it forward to Mitch Brown and Oscar McDonald to try win the game.

The only positive if we've improved our trade with Hawthorns second pick aha. Jokes aside, such a disheartening evening for the club. Far too frequent "no shows". I don't want to pile on players, but some of the changes left me gobsmacked. Some of the players who can't get into this team (Hunt/Baker/Bedford etc) must be wondering what more they have to do.

Feeling quietly optimistic about this one, pretty sure we've never lost to Sydney whilst playing in Cairns.

When he was drafted there were lots of posters with the "if we can get him right for 2021 it'll be fantastic" viewpoint. A Delayed season due to COVID-19 altered this a bit for some. Happy with the way he's being managed. It's also hard to get into this team at times - ask Hunt/Bedford etc.

Hope Kozzie remains in the team, I know he's not very prolific at this stage but I do think he's beneficial even when not touching the ball. He drifts in and out of space very well and pulls a defender with him, even some of the goals he's scored have had very good off the ball movement in the lead up. Sounds like conditions may favor this.

on a side note with a Night GF it'll reduce the drunken confusion post Grand Final of what to eat and where to go next.

Nice little test-run of for future twilight grand finals for the AFL too.

Question: How long is Burgo signed up for?

Sounds like Hunt is deserving of a call up from some of the reviews they posted of practice games.

Tough on Fritta, bold move from the club in a must-win game. Disappointing I won't be able to spam my mates with Bayley Fritzl propaganda

Curious who'd get that spot if Hore wasn't crocked
