Straight Sets Simon

If Richmond were smart they would have gone after Jed Anderson instead.

It will be interesting to see if this lasts.

Frost is better as a defender than a forward and we need him more as a defender than a forward.

What?

Biggest pessimist here.

Some footage of Trengove training here.

We had trust in the guy who drafted them, if he did his job properly he would have identified this and never recruited them in the first place.

As someone said earlier, the common trend with most of those players in the photo is they aren't natural competitors. Viney, Kent, Salem, Hogan, T. McDonald, Petracca, Brayshaw, Oliver, vandenBerg, Tyson, N. Jones, Gawn, Stretch, ANB, Jetta and Harmes all are naturally far more competitive.

I didn't hear it all but on SEN last night David King was saying that he thinks Melbourne will win less games than last year, can't see any improvement in the list. We are easy targets and he knows he will get a reaction but I hope we make the finals if nothing else to see him proven wrong.

I keep seeing Mitch Clark in the photos of Hulett (as in what he looks like). Can the usual types here please not post "I hope he's a more loyal player than Clark" and so on.

It is a shame we aren't seeing skills early on like we did with Toumpas, Watts, Morton, Blease, Strauss, Tapscott and Maric.

He'll be a player for sure, although the prospect of Wagner sounds good too. I'm hoping he can become our vandenBerg 2.0.

Great photos, just as good as the Getty ones.

Mitch White.

Zing!

In fairness, the club has been trying to do this for almost a decade now so it's hardly new.

I wasn't saying "please leave".

Please.

It didn't "save" his career. He was always next in line to Jamar who was on his last legs (Spencer has never been a long term first ruck option), that game simply highlighted what some of us knew he could do.

Top quality reports, thank you.

Mitch White. I'm tipping he will play at least 15 games this year.

Remember, they are also playing against Melbourne.

I don't get the hate, yes some hosts aren't the best, the ads are annoying but at least they talk sport most of the time. Right now we are in the biggest black hole of sports events where all of the sudden everyone cares about ODI's again, I'll even take five minutes of Collingwood supporters talking up their chances just to hear some footy talk.

Actually, it's the crossing of the arms that looks the most ridiculous. It's the least intimidating and flattering position that anyone can stand in.
