The link to more videos on the club's mobile website has been broken for over a year and I've emailed them twice this year to get them to sort it out. The first reply I received was a thank you, it's been forwarded to the media department. The second response was that they're very busy and will get to it when they can. Seriously, it's one link. How hard?

Thanks man.

Demon shop doesn't have one. Anyone know if it's possible to buy them? I get a generic cut + paste response everytime I email the club, so this seems a more likely place to get a decent answer.

Dan Allsop thread Good to see him getting a run with Casey after missing out on the Cat B rookie position with Melbourne. Hopefully shows his stuff and gets another shot in the next draft.

Yeah, I don't like it.

Naa.

Just can't see it making any difference and I'm glad we're not involved for the physical effects its likely to have on the players, even if just looking at the 24 hours of plane travel. The second generation Chinese population is already as interested as any other Australian would be and if we're talking about first generation Chinese then I doubt they'll even notice the game gets played. I see no reason for any section of the Chinese population to take even a passing interest in AFL unless directly introduced by an Australian friend. Agree with you that Guangzhou would provide a better venue, I reckon Hong Kong as wll. I think the stadium they've provided in Shanghai shows how serious the Chinese side is taking the game.

Appreciate the updates for people who can't be there.

1. Melbourne

New Balance.

Was a pretty obscure reference from me.

http://m.richmondfc.com.au/video/2016-11-21/pick-27-hamish-brayshaw-jrz Found this while googling him to see if he was drafted. Guess the tiges were interested enough to have a highlight reel ready to go? Sucks for him, but an injury free year and he'll be right in the mix for next year's draft.

Have rated Hutchins very highly for his leadership this year. Hope he gets another crack.

Yeah, I stand corrected. Rookie list rules have changed and we don't have to have any if we don't want them. MINIMUM NUMBER OF ROOKIES Rookie lists are now recognised as a key list management tool and designating a minimum number of rookies is no longer necessary as it is purely a club decision. Source

The club has to go into the season with 44 players on its list with between 4-6 rookie spots, not including Cat B rookies. Minimum 4 rookie spots have to be filled. If the intention is to only make 2 live selections in the rookie draft then I wonder if Joel Smith or Corey Maynard are being moved to the main rookie list for some reason. Either way, the spots need to be filled.

They definitely don't. Everyone knows Tommy Mac is the fittest at the club.

Why'd you get shafted for two weeks?

Any favourite songs? Diamonds in the Mine was important to me as a young, angry teenager. Suzanne was the first I heard. In later life, with a different mind, Famous Blue Raincoat and I came so far for beauty were on repeat up until the day he died. Has been odd being affected by a famous person passing away for the first time. Sad to see you go, Leonard Cohen.

Any excuse to sit at the pub watching something footy related.

Just change the clash guernsey to the 2016 clash guernsey. I actually didn't mind it. This is the best one I think we've had:

Think most people were pretty comfortable with this year's. Especially the red one that never got rolled out.

I emailed the club to tell them it's horrific and they're better off keeping this year's. They replied with a copy-paste response saying white clash guernseys are necessary and there are ongoing discussions about them with the AFL. Actually annoyed me more than if they didn't respond at all. Just condescending.

New Balance is harris scarfe brand, bargain basement sportswear. Hoping we get a decent brand to put our gear together eventually. Have bought 4 hats in 5 years and they're all garbage.
