Of all the injusies to cop Max has a protetive beard covering his larynx

A great appointment. Hopefully Max retires number 1 at retirement age rather than Oliver or Petracca at the peak of their powers ala Ash Barty. Having listened to him speak and seen the mindset he creates we should be excited. I see it as a Burgess like appointment but with menatal not physical health although there are parallels

.

It's a misconcetion on Demonland that JVR is being wasted in the ruck. He's clearly our second best tap ruckmen. Anyone who thinks we shouldn't play him there to prevenent injury might need to look at the skipper. Forward connection didn't work for us in the 2023 finals because all our forwards and even back up forwards were out injured. Kicking to a pack in front of goal? Has anyone watched Jake Lever kick to Max Gawn when we needed a goal to win the minor premiership and go on to win the proper one

It depends on the player as well. Nick Daicos can get tackled and it's a push in the back if he goes forwards or around the neck if he throws his head back. Patrick Cripps 3 votes can get caught with the ball and swung around until he gets rid of it and play on.

If we've been tracking AJ for years and think he could have an immediate impact why did we take Kentfield in the midsesson draft last season when AJ was available?

Disco - got the number 10 jumper. Big shoes to fill

After reading commentary that Langford would rip someones arm off to get the footy it was pleasing and appropriate to see his favourite movie is Braveheart. I can't wait for all the Richmond ferals to ponder why they didn't take him with the first pick.

Once Petracca went down Oliver stopped being Oliver? I'd say it had more to do with his broken hand, broken thumb, broken ribs, strained knee and lack of pre-season. Looking at the pre-season photos this year Oliver doesn't have strapping on anything and is happy. Langford will have the best player in the league feeding him the ball.

CP5 changed girlfriends just before he became eilte. Off field harmony has more impact than most people realise

Don't worry he has Clarry as a mentor

I heard Kentfield

1 pretty important one though.

Following US elections of devision, Neale Daniher unites. When we won the one premiership in my lifetime our ethos was "selfleness" and Neale embodies that

Prefer 60s

The tackles have JT written over it

I think he went on to coach a team dwindling away at the bottom for 50 years that almost megered into irrelevance and got accused of underacheiving because the list he helped click were after that percieved to be too talented not to win 3 in a row

I think he spent most of the first quater on the bench and was cooked by the last but inbetween it was the most sublime individual performace you will ever see

To quote the great man Clayton, Petty had a stinka

Pick 19 after the Kalani White f/son

I got a txt last night from one of my best mates who barrscks for the bombers who haven't won a final since Peter Jackson was their CEO. They are death riddng us.

I don't have the stats to back it up but i recall weid being similar. Great vertical leap from stand still with a high reach and i thought process was he would be able to break defensive zones with that as an assett because instead of leading he could park himself in space in a zone and we'd just pop it up to him

Funny i thought the exact opposite he was harder at it than i expected but a much worse kick

So we have kept out best 2 midfielders of the last 50 years. Our best forward pocket in the same time frame, maybe excluding the wizard has stayed on The media narrative has been against us the entire period. We did well this trade period. Sharpe looks a suitable replacement for ANB and we somehow got pick 9 in what everybody says is a strong draft. Tim Lamb has done well. Brad Green has held the club together, Max Gawn shouldn't have to front every question for the organosation. We brought in a ruckman who might not play at the top level but is a good clubman and can at least compete with Max at training so he can go on being the best. I'll give us a 10 out of 10 for the trade period. Let's make the next obvious off field decisions swiftly and continue the good trading.

There is not a chance in hell Gawn or Brad Green let that happen
