Kick_It_To_Pickett

Dunstall is a king of creating narratives in games. Barracked hard for the suns all game. The dubious frees paid against us that resulted in goals to the Suns barely got a second mention, yet he unpacked in detail any 50/50 that went in our favour

Lost all respect for him after he had a crack at David Schwartz about the 2000 GF

So I assume it’s the light blue version to be worn Vs Port and the navy against the Dorkers

How many rounds are we rebranding for?

Curious myself … I reckon there is..but I’m thinking they use the animal moniker and not the satanic one, so probably no problem

Why are we wearing this in three rounds this year?

No one. He will have to earn his spot back through the VFL. No way he is ahead of anyone on current form.

Saturday night is a graveyard fixture these days. People have things outside of football going on in their lives. Other social events..I know tht might be hard to believe for us diehards, but it’s facts! Also, people don’t have money to go out at the moment. Increase cost of living hits people. It’s on TV, it’s 13 degrees, you can get a meal delivered, it just suits some. I too would have liked to see 40 k there, but it’s what I expected. I thought we might get 22k to be honest

Dunstan and Harmes should be included to give us some fresh legs. Pickett needs to move back into the midfield to find some footy. Ben Brown, despite kicking 0.4 needs to support JVR, draw the best defender and let JVR work his craft. Petty to go back if May is injured, and give Turner a shot. Schache is another option, and must have been close tonight

Yep, official AFL board.

Little side note.. I was driving on Dandenong Rd today, at the corner of Chapel St was a large digital advertisement board, advertising this match. The only team featured on the board was Richmond. A team photo of them standing arm in arm during the last post. Has anyone seen similar advertising around for us? My question is, or gripe, why is only Richmond featured on AFL billboards. This is our home game. It made me mad.

It’s my opinion. I’m entitled to it. In my view Baker is having a greater impact for the Dogs than Hunter is for the Dees. I’m saying that, Hunter has been fairly good. Just love the pace on Baker. The game opens up ahead of him when he runs, and he seems to have improved his kicking

Baker is ahead of Hunter as a winger at this stage of the season. Playing really well.

As much as I hope Freo lose, for the sake of our draft position, I find it almost impossible to support the Dogs. They are so looked after by umpires and have an incredibly hateable list. Bont about the only player I have time for.

Jackson the seagull!

Lever unlikely to get up again this week. Gawn a better chance of playing.

Pickett was miles off today too…did he attend any Centre bounces? He must have had a few goes in the middle..but I barely noticed him.

Don’t disagree. It wasn’t a free to us. But he was motionless on the ground. The umpire didn’t check player welfare. You had Redman apologising to him. Then he notices how concussed he is and runs off him

The part that was worse than the non paid free, was the fact Spargo was KO’d, clearly, and the umpire allowed play to continue without stopping the game, which left Remond to run off the mark, which resulted in a goal

Off a month of good footy? We finished top after Home and Away. This is an all time dumb comment.

Worst performance in a long time. Lack of motivation and effort. Outcoached. Just beaten by a better structure

Amazing how many media ‘experts’ were talking up a Richmond renaissance in the preseason. Even after we belted them in a practice game, you had Whately carding on about it being like racehorse training and that Richmond were holding back and letting their stable mate show their hand. Complete nonsense

Imagine running out of legs on a ground that is the size of a local Auskick facility. GC are a farce. on a side note, I reckon we should lobby to play at Norwood next year and rebrand as The Redlegs for the round. A lot of great history between our clubs. Would be great to drum up support from the other Redlegs.

They have James Sicily captaining their side…
