At Least I Saw a Flag

'Richmond are 2-3. Not overly successful.

I agree with other posters that Tommy Mac should replace Lever on the backline, and Brown/Weed forward. Re Viney. I don't rate Bedford or Melksham. So the other inclusion would be Dunstan, Smith or Tomlinson. The Club seem to love Smith, so I guess he'll get the nod. Poor Tommo.

Hmm, can't say I agree. Sam gets his hands to quite a few but then drops the mark. Sometimes he is the only one with his hands on the ball. He really needs to do better ... he has been on the list for at least 6 years. Jacko drops a few too, but he has improved considerably, and will keep doing so. (Not at all concerned about him.)

Thank you Grasshopper, sorry SWYL !! 🤣

Martin had other reasons too ... [MC]

I have only one comment ...

Gosh ... I'm so surprised !!

Re commentators ... Way too much fawning over Hawkins. Good player obviously, but a genuine #$% bloke. FFS, call out that cheating. Lyon, Reiwolt, Robinson, Whateley etc ... If it was a lesser player, e.g. Nibbler, they'd make a meal of it. Same with his 'pushes'. It was hilarious in the last few minutes Duckwood was up to his old tricks. Fortunately the umps didn't fall for it. If anything, he should have been pinged for HTB ... but the umps had pretty much put away their whistles.

O'meara looks like a character from The Thunderbirds

Umpiring pro Richmond ...

A few thoughts re the filth. Adams is a genuine B grader. Is he their captain? Grundy ... paid massive overs. Good player, but doubt that he's an A grader. Mihocek ... good ordinary player. Brown ... lol Daicos x 2 ... nice players, but neither is or probably ever will be physically imposing De Goey ... yeah, yeah ... an A grader, but a total @#$ Madgan ... good ordinary player Maynard .... see Madgan Moore .. absolute A grader, but injury prone Sidebottom ... like the boxer who has gone a few too many fights Pendlebury ... approaching Sidebottom status Cox .... lol ... should be the star of his own sitcom Noble .... C grader Frost .. apparently he's ok, but not an A grader Cameron ... B- or C+ Lipinski ... C grader Hoskin-Elliott - see Lipinski Overall, not a great future with their current list

Unwatchable. I think I might watch an old Carry On movie ... Either that or watch paint dry.

Actually .... I withdraw prediction about "honourable loss". Looks like carnage.

"honourable loss' coming up

He's not old enough.

Indeed.

Robert Flower's daughter just gave birth to a boy. Grandfather/grandson rule?

He'll sign a 2 year extension.

Point of order ... it's actually 'fuchsia', named after the German botanist Leonhart Fuchs. For Fuchs' sake ... get it right!!! 🤣🤣

I loved Ronnie Wood with The Faces. What a band! Mick Taylor was awesome with the Stones. Ronnie Wood was/is a downgrade. I think SW will get the gig this week, and Tmac will be dropped, or moved to the backline. If the latter AT will presumably make way for BBB.

I haven't seen anything from Bedford or Chandler to suggest that either will make the grade. FWIW Lockhart showed more than these guys, but was shown the door. (I know he played a different position.) Haven't seen anything of Laurie at all.

Spot on

I might check out the Big Footy Filth board!

Eagles !!!!!!!!!!!! Suffer filth ... I'm so happy.

I wish Lyon would tone down his excessive gushing about the Daicos boys. The filth are getting a good run from the umpires.
