MRO and Tribunal are so inconsistent that its almost corrupt. So if Pendles gets a fine for EXACTLY the same thing, then I'm afraid Pickett does too. But its the AFL, and Pickett isn't a BIG name, so don't be surprised if he gets a week cause of the 'NO NAME' factor.

You almost needed Benny Hill music playing whilst watching that first half. Skills and decision making were deplorable. You would see better play watching suburban football. I understand the argument 'a wins a win', but with so many entertainment choices these days, watching that garbage wouldn't be too high on my priority list.

How do you explain the first quarter misses? Easy set shots. I honestly don’t rate Choccos goal kicking coaching.

Folks we are a mid ladder team. Temper your expectations, we have disposal that is laughable along with low IQ decision making. The pressure turns up, we turn to water. This is a depleted Richmond side we are playing.

Our disposal is a dead set disgrace tonight. You would think this is local football.

I thought he could have spoiled too, but he is up there with Jack Viney as one of our toughest players. All the noise in the media regarding Kozzie, we know the AFL pick and choose what to suspend players for depending on who you are. Best way to shut em up? Keep winning. Us v them mentality.

[censored] Billings, should have 3 goals tonight. Meant to be a good kick. Oh well. Still in front, come on Dees lets finish it.

Dont give up a late goal Dees!!!!

Why couldnt Oliver get in between that mark?

Free everyday of the week to Howes

Fritta, love it when he gets on a run, hate it when he has a quarter and does nothing

Has Salem done anything tonight? Almost like Billings

Don't take any game lightly, this is anything but a comfortable win. I was there in 22 v Freo on a nice Saturday, like today, and they turned it on in the second half to pull our pants down. If Hawthorn can beat the two finalists last year, they can beat us. Go hard Dees from the first siren. Fingers crossed 🤞

Agree with a lot of you. Chandler just too small and no X factor whatsoever. Laurie always looks rushed. Langdon hasn’t been good since 21 either, shell of a player to what he was. A real let down.

That’s good enough reasoning for me!! Flag here we come 😉😉😉

Was discussing with workmates how even the competition is this year. We looked at every team and said 16 sides could make the 8, we only had North and WC as definate outs. So 8 of those team have to miss out. Every team in the AFL have the same goal, there is only 1 premier, pretty brutal really. Im in the 5-10 range, not happy with our forward structure, I absolutely HATE the constant bomb it in 50, cannot believe how many times we do it and never learn. 2 or 3 players going up in the same pack. Nobody staying down for crumbs. How can Goodwin, Choco, Yze etc not see this and try to correct it? They are meant to be the best coaches in the land. Maybe Im looking at it too simplistically. Yes we JUST lost 2 finals, but the opposition want to improve just as much as us. Going in with low expectations, happy to be proven wrong and we win every game, just pretty blah hearing Goody saying "the learnings" every week.

Went along with Tiger pal from work, so won't pretend I saw it all or know the game style they were using (too busy chatting). Was watching Windsor, to me needs a year of putting on size and where to position himself, looked like a first year body, still did ok, but don't expect the world (ala Daicos). And he shouldn't have to be that player. Give him time, he will learn. Actually thought Kynan Brown looked more comfortable at this level, was composed with ball in hand, kicked a goal. Pickett went in the middle, was his evasive best. Is he a game changer? To me he is too small and belongs in the forward line to crumb, use his speed etc. Up against the animals like Bont, Cripps etc size can be a factor. Use his smarts where we are lacking in the forward line (and no attempts for Mark Of The Year please, just crumb). Didn't notice Chandler, Howes or ANB at all. Generally disposal was quite ordinary, long bombs into 50, seems like both teams were almost just there to get some miles into the legs, and didn't show their hand. I'm hoping that's the case. Gawny played first half, then ran laps at half time, then went to the sheds. Like others have said, hard to gauge, hope that next week we sharpen up. Lots of outs on both teams too.

Thanks Kev, Yep wouldn’t think it is that hard to put training times up on website, North has theirs up with times and location. I have 2 young children 8 and 6, who are on school holidays, it is the ideal time to get the kids down to training, seems a missed opportunity. Might email the club for some feedback 👌

Does anybody have any intel if there is training at Casey this Monday? May be able to go if we knew some dates.

Is it just me, or does it seem like there are quite a few highly rated Tasmanians this year? Previous years I can’t recall much talk of talent from the apple isle. Good signs for the state anyway.

Didn’t sound too convincing. If Petty is considering……. Get 2 top tens picks, or 1 and Fogerty/Thilthorpe. They virtually got that for Lever. And ask Taylor Walker for his opinion if it goes through 😝

My Nana would come up with a better forward half game plan than Goody and Stafford. 1. Alternate leads, space it out. 2. Less bombing into forward line, and when it does, Kozzie stay down PLEASE. 3. Even if a grub kick comes in, Koz is faster than a lot of defenders. 4. Lower the eyes, the amount of times long bombs come flying in only to go straight to the opposition, it’s enough to send you bonkers. 5. Move it in quick, don’t give opposition time to ‘set up’. 6. Don’t rely on Gawn on a set shot, he’s a putrid kick for a professional footballer, even with the ‘apparent’ master coach Choco in his corner.

Not a rumour, but would you look at Ginnivan? With Schultz coming into Pies, could be offloaded. I think he is a dangerous player, a bit divisive, but….. I wouldn’t object if price was right.

I saw Will Gould was delisted by Sydney. I remember looking at him as a later pick in his draft year until Sydney nabbed him. Was in a man’s body playing at U18 level, so don’t know why he didn’t go on? Maybe just a good SANFL player now.

Grundy deal will go through quick, somewhere in the 20s. Pick 11 won’t come into it IMO. Shame he wasn’t at the B&F, don’t know the ins and out, hence deal will go through seamlessly.
