You have none of those things.

You live in a one bedroom apartment and most likely spend your days posting on here and drinking out of goon bags, watching the Bold & The Beautiful while only wearing underwear which probably has holes in them.

And the problem is?

You blokes made me spit my coffee out.

DIMMA READIES FOR FIRST TIGER POACHING

Gold Coast’s interest in Richmond star Daniel Rioli is real, according to the Herald Sun’s Jay Clark, and the Tigers could land a healthy sum in return.

The 27-year-old is contracted until the end of 2027 and there were conflicting reports over whether he spoke with the Suns and his former coach Damien Hardwick during a recent trip to southeast Queensland.

But Clark told Fox Footy’s Midweek Tackle “where there’s smoke, there’s a little bit of fire”.

“And I think the Gold Coast Suns are just eyeing Daniel Rioli at the halfway point of the season, and will be very interested in his services,” Clark said.

The Suns would need to give something up to land Rioli, given he is contracted, but they have a healthy suite of 2024 draft selections including two first-rounders - their own, and the Western Bulldogs’ pick.

JP he has been very underwhelming. What was expected is not to go down the rabbit hole with an old hacksmith, pickett, kmac plus about 5 others that are not part of the future. He has done exactly the opposite.

Claw said he wont last 3 years, and he is 100% right. The old stable heads will be gone very soon, and we have a president who is lost.

That said im not ready to throw the towel in just yet, but he better start displaying some toughness which was rarely seen in his playing career, or he wont last the journey.

He won't last three years if he can't identify the problems to start with. When is going to make a hard call or start putting his own stamp into the team. All he has done is follow on from Hardwick you really do have to wonder if others are not running the show.

Going a bit early here Claw.  What else was Yze supposed to do other than follow on from Hardwick?  No really, what were your expectations from a rookie coach who just inherited a side that was losing 2 champions to retirement while having a poor draft hand, in the midst of a soft cap crunch thanks to his predecessors. 
That takes us through this year & even into late '25 season before we can start lopping off coach's heads for any reason. 

But I'll help you out a bit with some more reasonable expectations - Yze hasn't won a flag yet so when is that gunna happen?  How long will that be? 
Yze hasn't cracked cold fusion yet either ... so hurry up willya!  Hasn't fixed the Middle East or invaded China yet ... so what's he been doing then?

how dumb are these idiots?

yeah inflation we cant get a handle on it, but lets figure it out by letting every one and his dog in the country adding to the already tight rental market amongst everything else.

gaybo is exactly how i thought he would be. A left wing fool with no concept how to run a cook raffle let alone a country.

The list for hbf is endless. Smith deserves a block of games there before Banks gets another game. How about he goes back and earns a spot like Smith has. Trezise is saying hello as well. Tom Brown and of course there is Rioli and Broad.

Imo i think Banks is one of the better kicks we have but that is not the issue. He seems to dislike contact like the plague atm. I can understand that he is undersized and skinny maybe he needs to fix that part before we deny others the opportunity.

Undersized and skinny, Richmond prototype. 😰
