Will be interesting to see how long it takes you know who, to drop into this thread and offer his thoughts/apologise. OMc is holding players really well, look forward to hopefully seeing him add and some attack/rebound to his game.

Morris has “stepped away” from the MFC podcast.... Katie Caty Price from network 10 has taken over.

Morris is a typical journo....

Morris just doesn’t have the runs on the board for mine so massive grain of salt. If you listen to the MFC podcast (actually a good listen as they do ask the hard questions) Morris mentions he was taken to task over the Freo “story”, that was one of my mates at work who really questions how Morris is going about things. PJ was on the last one (what a man!) and was really annoyed by a question about is Goody a good coach. I would not be surprised if Morris is no longer on the podcast come seasons end, or earlier even though I’m glad the club is not sanitising said podcast.

Morris also wrote that rubbish piece recently about Freo “chasing” Hoges and Brayshaw... he also wrote the piece about Goody offering his resignation after campgate and then “slept in” when Goody was on the Dees podcast the week after. He seems like a typical journo..

A volunteer at the club, yet is a Tigs and GWS member? Totes confffuusseeedd. What an odd guy, does his brother cover another 3 teams?

Can’t tell if you’re serious ET.

Huh? Seems really odd, Dees fan who supports the Tigs “business group” because the club wants to support it. I reckon he’s the bloke when we walks into these Rich functions everyone goes “ah fk old mate is here again, don’t let me get stuck talking to him..”

So you do it for free for Richmond Football Club???

Aren’t you a Tigers member?

I don’t know Dr but it has really stood out to me this year players ability to break a tackle or at least hold off an effective tackle to get an effective disposal away. @Skuit point about rugby plans is an interesting one, I noticed at the game and in replay a couple of times at stoppages where it looked like we were lined up like a rugby defensive line, all on one side of the stoppage with North on the other side. I was wondering were I’d seen it before, Rebels game. Are we trying to play in phases, box kicks and putting the ball out inside the 22? One to watch.

Also with the younger group maturing they are breaking more tackles, see one C Petracca as exhibit a.

Yeap agree, I was trying to spark some debate about, if invested wisely, maybe just maybe we could get a larger return with $11m than the $2m we currently do from pokies. Also it’s not like this has been in the works for a few weeks, both PJ and Bartlett said it’s been in discussion for a couple of years. They know what they are doing.

Hey mate, From the Jake Niall article, we will recieve close to $11m from MVRC.. thus the question of what return we'd get if we plonked that into a bank? Melbourne will reap close to $11 million this year by selling their gaming venue as part of the club’s decision to take the lead in exiting from poker machines... ..will receive almost $11 million from Moonee Valley in a sale that will take effect on July 31. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/gambling-exit-demons-hit-the-jackpot-with-11m-20180404-p4z7p7.html

What kind of return would you get if you put $11m in the bank?

That money would still go to schools, hospitals etc without pokies, it’s not like it would be saved under a mattress at home, it would be spent and go to state or federal revenues. As others have said, pokies have been dragons solely to take your money. The fact governments allow them is nonsensical.

It’s so funny, only ever comes out of the cave to talk chit about the Dees.

And so they should!!

Australia caught deliberately ball tampering in SA, scheme cooked up and agreed to by the leadership team?!?! https://www.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/dark-day-for-australian-cricket-as-steve-smith-admits-plan-to-cheat-20180325-p4z63q.html They all need to be banned, what a fiasco.

There are some plonkers on here but some really stand out from the pack...

Haha he would have got us into finals last year easily. Courage, hard at it but outside skills and never stops. He’d be our best mid, kidding yourself.

Poffa valve.... ha! Bernie trying to squeeze out another year +1 from us if he can get Sloane over. Haha good on him!

Apparently not, I have some interactions with North and no matter the season (Premiership or bottom 3) they have always had a very similar turn over of members, which I did find surprising. Now whether they need to be smarter in how they engage members and find the right points to know when a member might be leaving is a different story.

I can’t believe people are doing this... kidding it’s Dland of course I can!

$300? Are they going to be player warn and signed by the whole team?!
