Interesting article on the AFL site with regards to the Crows keeping Sam Shaw on the list purely from a welfare perspective. Obviously the two instances have differences but the overriding message is that if we tried to get Lumumba off the books from a 'not meeting contractual obligations' pov, we could potentially open ourselves up considerably if something does happen with his concussion claims. Player welfare will always be first and if it takes having him as a non-playing listed player, such as Shaw, to avoid anything coming back on the club then so be it.

Seems as though there was a fair bit of water that went under the bridge to get a single years extension. Hopefully the next will be for a longer term.

The young fella has only played the game for two years and he's found his way on to a AFL clubs rookie list. If anything, this fact alone shows the massive scope this kid potentially has. Handy basketballer and soccer player. Oozes talent and if Max says he's a hard worker then I'll back him in.

Bugger. My flight back to Perf leaves at 1pm.

Okay. I've only been told it's closed by someone else - not actually checked myself. Is there any possibility it'll be earlier, like 9.30am?

Next Monday is listed as a closed session. Does the club mind supporters coming to view these? Is it just the media that is directed at?

It's purely for performance management. Setting a baseline so Misson and his team can tailor individual programs.

What a peanut. Let's wait for all the lefties to come out and defend him and turn it into a racial debate. Fair chance this post will be deleted.

The bloke's a few roo's loose in the top paddock. Lumumba to launch legal action against the club

I think he means on the Epilectical cycle.

Not a good advertisement for Tom Couch's budding personal training business.

I reckon the answer would be found on the Richmond fans forum, BBO. I don't want to go there and trawl through the threads though because I'm far too intelligent.

Hasn't final list lodgement passed 5 days ago? Tigers must be spewing! Let's hope we don't have the same happen to us.

Very true. It won't however stop me from hanging it on my Tiger supporting mates.

That's great that your girls love the footy. My young bloke who's 7 years old usually supports the opposing team when it's on the television just to wind me up. He's shown little interest in wearing the footy gear I buy. I must admit, I've never bought a nerd shirt for him so I can't say he won't like one. Thanks for changing my perception.?

Judging by the table above, it would seem we're approximately in front by 5000 members which is huge!

I have so much MFC apparel gathered from years and years of sometimes senseless purchases. I must have at least 12 jumpers, numerous training kits, umpteen hats, Polo's, T shirts, Jackets etc. However, after looking at the 2017 range on the Demon shop, I think this will be the first time in a long time that I'll not bother with buying anything. So, without detracting from the 'clash guernsey' thread, I thought it would be interesting to start a discussion around what other supporters feel about the range, the strategy of renewing or tweaking the designs year on year to keep revenues ticking over. The Star Wars, Ninja Turtle, Nerd T shirts they persist on pitching. There must be a market for it, right? I know I've never bought any if it for my children. I've added a few questions to a poll - although I'm sure I could add many more. Just a few to get a general feeling from the posters regards the apparel range because mine is one of being underwhelmed. Personally, I want to see footy shorts back in the shop. The last pair I had was when we had Reebok on board and with 'Hankook' and 'The Age' sponsor logos on them (can't recall year). I love wearing footy shorts - they are arguably the most comfortable item going around but I've not seen them for ages. Over to you.

Cheers mate, I had a look there before posting. It's just my flight departs at 1pm on Monday so it'd be great if the session started at 9.30am.

Will Monday training continue to be starting around 11am? I'll be in Vic on Thursday til Monday and should get a chance to catch Mondays session.

Judd commenting on the footy? Put away the Stilnox, we have a natural alternative.

So does this mean the clubs, or the AFL's concussion testing procedure is still lacking? If Lumumba is still looking for answers for symptoms he's still experiencing then I'm really surprised by that - the fact they've passed all tests thus far.

Not one of your better posts, Ernie. In fact, its rubbish.

For all we know he might've had a big night, slept a bit and was caught early the next day with a nominal reading, as opposed to drinking and subsequently driving. The club will deal with it and I reckon Jones is well equipped in handing out a very decent spray.

So did Jordan Lewis turn up or does he get another week or two off because he played a couple of finals for that shitty club he used to play for?

People are quick. A good chuckle here! People Jack Watts now looks like.
