need to change the gameplan to match our resources. Bomb it high is not the way

As Ted Lasso would say... Well Done Richmond FC !!!

Most of the streaming sites are now obliged by their content providers to run a third party VPN tracker. This tracker updates daily with all the IP addresses for VPN sites. As fast as they add a new IP address at your VPN provider the tracker will find it within a few days. Even ABC iview started running a VPN tracker last year. The new system is to use a program that changes your DNS but it's way too complicated for most of us by comparison to VPN's. Would be much better if Kayo had a stand alone sub for AFL overseas. This would not upset the other content providers to Kayo and would be much better quality than WatchAFL. Of course the mega dollars paid by other streamers overseas (lol) for the AFL rights might be in jepoardy

that's considered a given among the pundits... the question is what pick one is worth. 4 and 7 for example? 4 and a very good player. Have a look at the show Gettable on the AFL site where multiple possibilities are discussed. Strangely enough they say that everyone agrees that the Gold Coast pick is the key to the trades for the number 1 pick. It's beyond me save to say that the eagles cannot be this bad.

o no what a shame Should we offer to split the points

who is the Brown out listed as injured Not BBB I hope

Must say the live ladder is doing my head in with games played by the various teams. Not looking forward to the world of 19 teams.

Like our game and Port's game (quick corridor) both are easily countered in theory. Similarly each style is easily imitated in theory. Where the difficulty arises is does the opponent have the skills to do it once, every now and then or often. Collingwood clearly has our measure on the basis of our traditional game plan. Sure we can beat them but 8 out of 10 times they will win. Port.. I'm not so sure. I think it's closer to 50/50 simply because corridor play as against the Pies angular delivery mode is just that much harder to maintain. Countering the Collingwood and Port styles requires close checking. With 4 umpires it's become more difficult to do this. Sure you can outnumber the opposition at the ball but we all know that such a tactic is a recipe for a loss

Himmelberg, according to at least two clubs contacted by The Scoop, could command as much as $900,000 per season, if he were to leave the Giants. A long-term deal at that price would trigger first-round compensation, meaning GWS could have three first-round picks in the upcoming draft. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/magpies-show-giant-interest-and-what-will-richmond-do-with-a-prized-asset-20230607-p5depm.html

lose on Monday and both Pies and Port are 3 games clear. That's a big break

If you stop striving you go backwards....... Sounds like bath water to me

Port play a smart corridor game They're going places

the AFL has killed the neutral fan that would have delivered 5-10k to this game Anyway who cares it's a TV game these days........ reap what you sew

Age reporting that Pies are interested in Himmelberg at around $900k per year

yes On another note we seem to have had few games at any of the inner city traditional grounds. A trip to Casey is okay but a day out at Port, Coburg, Preston etc is good as well

A logical move I'm also in favour of players practising shots on goals with earpods on pumping out crowd noise etc. Train as you play

Nope... welcome to the worst streaming system in Sports. PS Have someone check the price for you back in Australia. The site uses a geolocator and prices by reference to areas. US price is high in $US (probably haven't updated the exchange rates for years..just like the platform.)

A Swans win tonight puts them firmly back in the running for the final 8. Dogs V Port is a big game for us. A Port win if combined with a Collingwood win on Monday sees those two teams 3 games clear and almost certain top 4. A loss by both leaves the race wide open. Freo v Richmond is interesting. Go Tigers Blues v Bombers (draw please)

Carlton v Essendon is sold out...amazing

The VFL team exists only to develop AFL players so of course they will be preferred. Who are the better players is another question. Dunstan aside and now it seems Harmes as well the AFL side at Casey are weak in the midfield. Thus White is an automatic selection. Same for Munro, Buntine, Grey etc

you are kidding me. Head to head we have probably won 3 out of the last 20 encounters and for a good portion of that time we were much higher on the ladder than the Pies. 2017 anyone ?

You'd be surprised how corporate boxes are used these days. It's no longer only the Collins Street brigade. Many companies use them to reward their employees at all levels for "doing a good job."

You would think you could go for a 3 for 1 rule. They'll kick 3 but we will kick 1. On that basis a 30 point lead means they need to kick 8 goals to win. These days however consecutive goals by one side seems to be the norm

Ah.. the margin of confidence... Mine is 34 points After last year I fear the 26 point margin

This weekend offers some real moving potential with our game and Bulldogs v Port plus three 60/40 games which could see the top 8 shaken up. Might wait until the bye rounds are concluded before I take a view on the remainder of the season
