I think there has been only 1 Héritier Lumumba

I wish he could come back now and end this curse.

Jeff White was cruelled by the change of ruck rules when they made you stay within the circle. Without his run up he was never the same. Woey for me. His Brownlow year is underrated. Laser left foot and just kept getting the footy. Couldn’t handle a tag though.

When HB told me at the family day he could be playing by round 3 he wasn’t wrong.

I remember hearing a story years ago. Don’t know if it’s true or not but the Fidge brothers were going to a fancy dress party. Dressed up as Batman and Robin. Stopped at a drive through bottleshop on the way and ended up in a punch on with another group of blokes in the drive through dressed as Batman and Robin.

I’m predicting this will be over in 4 2 6 weeks.

I am the most positive dees supporter. I just worry the AFL will send it to a chook raffle and dees win by default.

We are supposed to take the gate receipts for the Queens Birthday and Anzac Eve games. its our year on both. Surely in good faith the Pies and Tigers give us the following year?

I’ve spent the last 40 years desperately hoping we might get that elusive premiership. Every instinct in me as a sportsman and competitor wants Melbourne to win at all costs but as a supporter i’m worried we will win. I don’t want our first premiership in nearly 70 years having an * next to it. Do we even want to win it this year?

Balllllllllllll said no crowd. Watch the umpiring come back to neutral. We’ll smash West Coast.

If I knew how to use the search function properly i’d quote myself over and over from last season saying we never used to switch. Kick out from full back to a side, then take it up that same wing, then kick to that same forward flank. The only reason we won inside 50’s was because every time the ball was in dispute we had hard competitive mids who just got it forward. Now we have two proper wingman so we can switch any time knowing we are safe out wide on the other side. Chaos football only works if you are unpredictable. We’re now.

It doesn’t matter if Weid is in the ruck or forward he was drafted to take marks. I was told a few years back by Macca that he is the biggest asset on our list because he can take marks at the peak of his leap with height and outstretched arms so could break opposition zones. Problem is he can’t take a mark. He no longer has the excuse of being out muscled. He has been on the list long enough and spent more than enough time in the gym to build the required strength. I hate bagging Melbourne players but the kid is Brent Grgic number 2. All false reputation no AFL ability.

Petty.

Would you even play him in the VFL? It’s like having Ablett on your list. Most talented player we have got. Oliver, Petraccaand Gawn are not in the same league.

HB told me at the family day he is going for round 3. He looked like he was serious. one of the most gifted players ever.

I have being saying the same thing to every Richmond supporter I know. Really rate Sydney Stack but I don’t envy him. The hardest player in the league is coming after him.

Petracca is training the house down. HB could be anything. May turned up looking like a footballer. Do we have a whipping boy yet this year? Oscar or Weid i’m guessing.

Had a very brief chat with HB. Anyone who thinks he is hoping to play half way or late through the season is mistaken. He reckons he will be going much earlier than that. He also picked up a kids footy completely different size to what he would be used to and drilled the kid he was kicking it to 30 meters away with a picture perfect drop punt. Early crow of the year. He can beat Petracca in the b&f.

I’m going. I hope Burgess is signing autographs.

My knock on him is marking. Even in the 18 finals series he wasn’t clunking them they were two bites. One of them was even Bradbury like the rest of the pack fell over and it landed in his lap.

If Petracca wasn’t so fat he could become a decent player.

Burgess talked about rotating players through the squad during the pre-season cup games. I’d be surprised if Hunt didn’t play in at least 1 of the next 2.

Love the centre bounces our ruckwomen just thumps it forwards and hanks takes out any opposition that touches the ball. Gawn and Viney need to watch and replicate this play.

I need a safe space. MCG will do.

I hope he transforms his ball drop when kicking.
