Return to Glory

My early take - whatever happens today, I've seen enough to think our style of play will hold up better than the Pies in a final.

Aaron Hall is not the hard man of the AFL, I’ll tell you that much

You'd be disappointed if you were a Suns supporter with Rankine. Half-hearted squib with them.

There's a couple of players who have really stagnated at the Lions. Zak Bailey looked like he could be a star at one point. He may be a player needing a change of scenery - i.e. Dees. Not sure of his contract situation.

Geelong is still 2 games and percentage behind us. Better than two teams a game behind us, one with a great run home.

Two great results for the Dees to be fair.

We were on a hiding to nothing. Playing Carlton at the moment is a little tricky. We'll run Collingwood very close. Mark my words sunny Jim.

I'm not a hater. I hate Mason Cox.

Spot on CB. Very rarely does playing a backman forward ever work. Sure, it may surprise a few sides but not a long term fix.

Feel like Bailey Laurie needs a fair crack at it. Perhaps replacing Harmes.....or Spargo

Close that stupid death riding thread.

The ultimate karma bus thread. Close it. Honestly, close it now

West Coast ....dodgy as

I see Tarryn Thomas is playing. Must have completed part four of his educational program. ‘I must remember it’s wrong to blackmail women.’

Hope you’re right

Cripps knocked a bloke out and played the next week. This is horse 💩and I’m not buying the impartiality of some of these jive 🦃s

I think we will. Decision that’s farcical.

Whenever I see Francis in a team, I fear for their injury list.

Pies are getting a fair run

Poor man's Luke Dunstan

4.30pm start on a Saturday in ****esville against an up and about GC. This was never going to be easy. Hindsight is 20 20 but I never thought it would be a soda . Remember that these guys beat Geelong (albeit they hadn't found their feet)

Are we Mr Big or are they Mr Big?

Yeah, it's unfathomable that he didn't want the guidance of mentor Tarryn Thomas.

Spot on

Allow me to go full conspiracy. This is what I noticed. Whenever we took a mark or received a free, any stepping off the mark was immediately called. Cotchin had the ball on the half forward flank, took four steps to his left to kick to CHF and only after that fourth step did he call play on. Several Richmond players seemed to be afforded that luxury. If you're an umpire wanting to insert yourself, that's the way you do it. Hell, I'll say it. At least one umpire seemed hellbent on wanting to give Richmond a leg up.
