Jaded No More

One can be a great coach and a not so great person. The point still remains that he is a great coach and I can only hope that Goodwin achieves with us what Harwick achieved with Richmond.

JVR out there giving corkies and smashing feet. Kid is brutal.

Is it getting better at least?

Obviously if this weekend was the grand final Oliver would rip out said hamstring off his body and play and win the Norm Smith. But if taking the extra week of the bye off means he’s cherry ripe for the second half of the year leading into finals, then surely the club would do that. I know he’s a pain and is probably telling the fitness guy he can play this weekend, but like Viney and Gawn, these guys want to play at any risk to themselves and sometimes it comes back and bites them.

This is why I lured you into this thread. I knew you would give us something! Our thanks to Mrs Fritta

I know he’s our best and most important player, but you’d hate to rush him for the KB game, which is a probable loss anyway, and have him do a serious injury and miss the rest of the season. Seems not worth it!

Clarkson will be back

A 3 time premiership coach isn’t going to be a midfield coach reporting to someone else. Please. He will walk into a senior role elsewhere or walk away from coaching.

AFL runs the show down there. They pay the bills and they’ll do what they like. Would bring in Stuart as an assistant coach to Melbourne if Yze gets a senior gig at the end of the year.

But I don’t think Dimma wants to rebuild. If he did he’d stay with Richmond. Gold Coast have a decent list already. West Coast are a decade away.

Dusty will retire. He and Dimma are very close. He won’t hang around for a rebuild and who can blame him. He’s achieved everything and more.

Their chest is mostly 90 years old or over. Would take Bolton.

You mean giving one ex Collingwood player with an agenda all the power to decide what is and isn’t a suspendible offense isn’t working? I am shooketh.

Realized Richmond are on a rapid decline and he’s traded his first round pick. He out.

Not even mentioned on the injury report.

The injury report is basically “we don’t know”

We are not sitting 10-0 this year. We need to secure at least two of the next four wins or we may not even make top 4.

We have 4 incredibly difficult and important games coming up. This is not the time to rest our best goal kicker.

Of course knowing our luck it’s some sort of rare hamstring injury that only 3 people on earth have sustained and all 3 ended up with a full leg amputation 😂

Paging @WalkingCivilWar for the latest

I’ve been saying this for years. Gawn gets illegally manhandled more than any other player in the game and we just sit back and let it happen as a club. Imagine if he played for Geelong. Scott would not stop sooking about it until something was done. Why is Gawn allowed to be hit high repeatedly but a Melbourne player contesting a spoil ends up having to go to the appeal board just to be allowed to play?

How was Petty moving?

What? How can there be damage and recovery all within 48 hours? What sort of wizard is Oliver?

But appealing is a waste of time and money and it’s an unnecessary distraction. This should never have been a suspension.
