Straight Sets Simon

Most importantly, we have a sensational recruiting team.

Currently, Oliver makes us a better team. As a tall inside midfielder he complements the shorter players such as Jones and Viney so well around the ball.

He's a work in progress, needs to refine his game at Casey but there is a lot to work with.

It's a huge issue because if Gawn goes down our next ruckman in line is Max King with Spencer injured.

Bumping the shoulder is allowed.

Anyone else really impressed by Harmes' game (aside from goal kicking)? He's best 22 for me at the moment, I really rate him.

No, and I bloody hope he turns out better than Cooney.

Happy to win but our skills are still terrible.

I really like him as a caller, but to mistake Nathan Jones for Nathan Brown is inexcusable.

If Oscar McDonald is getting regular games this year then we are in trouble. He needs to go and dominate at Casey.

My summary so far: Frost can be a potato at times Our skills will directly cost us at least six games this year Tom McDonald is A grade without the ball, D grade with the ball Our skills will directly cost us at least six games this year Dom Tyson is laziest player we have had since Travis Johnstone Our skills will directly cost us at least six games this year Garland scares me Our skills will directly cost us at least six games this year Hogan's kicking action needs to be fixed now Our skills will directly cost us at least six games this year Watts has never looked better Our skills will directly cost us at least six games this year Kennedy has been surprisingly good and has cemented his round 1 spot Our skills will directly cost us at least six games this year Wagner needs a couple of months at Casey Our skills will directly cost us at least six games this year Oliver will be a star Our skills will directly cost us at least six games this year Salem is having a mare Our skills will directly cost us at least six games this year Garlett is class Our skills will directly cost us at least six games this year Matt Jones was good until injured

This is painful.

This is painful.

Hogan needs to wear a smaller jumper.

Richmond tanked.

Did Brendan McCartney shave during the training session or is that someone else?

Disgusting to think that anyone could be involved with these organisations. Unfortunately, the problem doesn't seem to be going away as Richmond already have over 55,000 members.

I thought he was slow in 2011 and even started a thread about it here. He's not just a slow runner, he's a slow mover in general.

People here are getting stuck into Parish? Ridiculous.

Boring game. The new umpiring interpretations are going to send me mad this year. Umpiring has never been more inconsistent than it is these days, far too over-umpired.

Very satisfying that we were able to get that draft pick ahead of them with some clever deals.

Being conservative we should be 12-0.

I wish Jetta was in there.

That was the original name of Etihad Stadium
