Sheesh the Dees were soft. Costly night as well losing McLean with a broken foot and Whelan.
Lyon has the Saints playing like the Swans starving the opposition to death. Fiora is still a dud though lol.
-
All Fiora does is zone off his direct oppponent and gets uncontested possesions.
Side of his game that really lets him down is his poor kicking at goal.Hasnt got the poise, tends to rush his kicks
-
Everyone is saying Fiora played well because he got 20+ possies but with most of those he did a "Richmond" and they bounced 5m away from a leading teammate or went straight to the opposition.
Anyone following the Pies v Roos game. Battle for the wooden spoon. Some real Benny Hill stuff. Neon Davis running right over the ball near goal was hilarious :rollin.
-
Pies are only 13 points down now :banghead
-
If the Pies win this, Laidley's head will be on the chopping block for sure :thumbsup
-
Pies in front :banghead
-
Shannon Grant did a Richo - missed from 10 metres out :lol
-
Pies won :banghead
Although I picked them :thumbsup
-
I picked them too :thumbsup. LOL @ Shannon Grant ;D
Laidley won't survive this loss. Spud mark II. Sure North didn't kick straight but all that early training over summer to get fit and they can't run out a game after 3/4 time for the second time this year. He also failed to make any changes once plan A wasn't working.
Bloody Pies fans will think they are premiership material now :banghead
-
Actually, would have been unhappy with either of these two winning - hate them both!
Kangas for the Gold Coast :thumbsup
-
I wouldn't want to buy real estate off the ump that paid that 50m to Grant btw. The man on the mark should have been on the goal line. Still no excuse for hitting the post from 10m out :lol.
-
Freo having a mini choking at the moment
Freo 82 to Port 73
-
Actually, it's a major choking - port are in front 85 to 82
-
Cox and Embley are out
Had Embley in my Footy Rocks :banghead
-
Rodan has kicked 3.
My tips are stuffed. 1 from 3 :-\.
-
You reckon there won't be any sledging tonight :lol
-
My tips are totally stuffed lol. Was 0/3
I think I had Cox in my Footy Rocks team :-\
-
Your reserves come in if a player doesn't play, Steph
-
I'm still losing though :lol
-
I'm still losing though :lol
Not necessarily - a couple of mine have been hopeless :banghead
-
I guess it's hard to predict what players are gonna show since it's the first round.
As long as I don't get the wooden spoon I'll be happy ;D
-
2 from 5 now :P
So much for the Hawks being this young up and coming dreamteam lol. Just 3 goals up to halfway through the final quarter. I didn't see any of it but everyone on BF is saying it was the worst game of footy ever. Funny stuff seeing cocky Hawk supporters eating their own tonight over there :rollin.
We've got the Swans next week coming off another heartbreaking loss to the Eagles.
-
The trend continues
Bombers 18 pts to 1pt Adelaide
Hopefully, Adelaide will come from behind like most teams this weekend
-
Can't believe the Bummers beat the Crows. Well that's 3/8 for me.
-
The Lions have found some good kids. Wood in the ruck has really come on. They left the Saints for dead.
-
Pity we didn't get Wood.
-
The Lions have found some good kids. Wood in the ruck has really come on. They left the Saints for dead.
hmm - I wonder if the Lions will be as good as us in 2009, let alone 2011 when we really hit our straps ;)

The Lions still rely massively on Brown, Black and Power who'll all be gone by 2011 ;). No better way for a youngster to learn than around those senior superstars.
-
Wirrpunda has topped Russell Robertson for goal of the year. Tackled on the boundary, off balance and grubbers it through Daicos style from 30m out :o.
-
Rocca just got reported and we play the Pies next week. He'll probably get off though but you never know these days.
Ben Johnson has also been taken off with what looked like an ankle.
-

Daicos used to kick them from insidethe boundary line. ;) Freaky goal though.

You can hear the "Wayne Harmes again" whinging from here lol

Those magnificent Blues ::) are down 70+ points at 3/4 time :thumbsup

The bubble has finally burst at Princes Park after they were pumped up for last week against us.
Sheesh whatever is in the water down in Geelong is doing wonders for their father-son production line. They've almost got a team full of them.
-
watched the geelong game
lids must look at wojinski and follow his style
but gees, that young brigade at the cattery is making me sh it myself
abletts are going to kill us again, plus hawkins, varcoe selwood
farrrrrrrrrrrrrrk, having nightmares already
-
Port are looking the big improvers this year with their speedy midfield. I can see the Krakouers being compared :shh.
-
The Crows are doing a job on the doggies but didn't make it pay on the scoreboard. 18 shots to 7 at halftime :o.
Bomber fans will be pumping themselves up and talking about flags again after today ::).
-
The Crows are doing a job on the doggies but didn't make it pay on the scoreboard. 18 shots to 7 at halftime :o.
55 points at 3/4 time.
I think Ryan Griffen should come out and say the Dogs players gave up. ;D

:ROTFL
Message to Plough and Eade: top sides need muscle and bigger bodies as well as runners. Aker has done his hammy too.
-
I think Geelong looked awesome last night, they are still hot and cold though and it really depends on which team turns up on the day.
Bombers continue their good form, must have some good spy's around the traps doing their forward scouting.
-
Bombers are flying :lol ;) :thumbsup :thumbsup
-
Bombers are flying :lol ;) :thumbsup :thumbsup
Yep. Have coughed up a 7 goal lead ;). Carlton 14.11 to 5.9 since quarter time.
-
35 points up at half time and the Bummers still lose. Bet their supporters aren't demanding for the sack of Fletcher and co.
-

Stuffed up my tipping.
Hird was their top possession getter. What are they going to do next year without him. Same with Michael and Fletcher who are nearing the end. Big holes in the Essendon defence. Even so Fev still kicked 8. Dons still far too reliant on their old premiership players although by topping up Sheeds may get a new contract ;).
Hate to say it but out of the big 4 in Victoria right now Carlton would be favoured to win a flag first. Pagan is a top coach especially with developing young players. The Blues are coming along nicely.
-
Yeah I'm 0/3. Chan 10 said the Bummers gave up an 8 goal lead. :o
-
Yeah I'm 0/3.
Same here Julz. They should having a half-time tipping comp :P.
-
Geelong seem to have cleaned up F/S wise and solved their FF problem. 4 goals to Tom Hawkins.
-
Another win by an interstate club over a Vic club. The top 4 looks like being all interstaters. The Vic clubs are too up and down and just make up the numbers come September.
Rodan had another good game for Port too.
-
Watched a bit of the Bombers/Saints.
Bombers looked really good.
Easier game for them in the dry at the dome compared to the Pies in the wet.
Could prove a factor seeing they only have a 4 day break.
Bombers good chance to win their next 4 :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead
-
Watched Port - wonder if they wil be as good as us in 2011?
-
They will be better mjs
-
Jonathon Brown kicked 5 behinds for the Lions but no-one is calling for him to be dropped.
-
Pies upseting the Bombers.
-
Hard game to barrack for. Hate both teams. Glad James Hird didn't win the medal - yet again. Collingwood could have blown the Bombers out of the park if they kicked accurately.

Not really , doesnt bother me.
Can see things very objectively these days and arent blinded by things :yep
-
The Saints are gone and their premiership window has been wasted. A very ordinary and disspirited side now except for the brilliant Harvey. Says it all their that best player by far is 35. Ross Lyon will have to start again.
-
The Swannies look to have paid a price for their win tonight with Luke Ablett and Kennelly both buckling their knees :P.
-
5/5 from my tipping so far this round... highest score I've gotten yet lol. :lol
-
At least with Melbourne losing we aren't on the bottom of the ladder.
-
I've only got 4 :-\. LOL @ Geelong and Hawthorn losing.
-
I got 6. My best so far.
-
Some classic Fiora tonight. 3 mistakes in the space of a minute :lol. He actually has been pretty good for the Saints this year collecting uncontested possessions but he's no loss to us.
The Blues bubble has well and truly burst again. Stevens has left a massive hole. Back down to 14th on the ladder. They were lucky to get us round 1 with all our injuries at the time. They are a young side like us but once again the journos will be eating their words saying they are player by player better than us.
-
Franklin has kicked 9 including 5 in the second quarter against poor McPhee who had no idea. You've got ask why it took Sheeds 4 goals before making a change and why he got Michael for in the PSD if he and Fletcher aren't for the main opposition forwards. Essendon are in big trouble. Their top 4 possession getters were again their oldies - Hird, Johnson, Peverill and McVeigh. Stanton is about the only young Bomber coming through who consistently performs well. Hmmm someone wouldn't just top up their list to get another contract ;).
-
The Roos are just an average side individually but right now they are working as a team that only we at Richmond could wish for. Shows you don't have to be a team of superstars to do the critical run hard with and without the footy, play in front at all times and all the other 1%ers. Wells doing his medial ligament will be a big loss for the Roos though when they play the top sides.
Sounds as though Hirdy will miss a few too with another hammy. Just going from bad to worse for the Bombers. If Lucas or Stanton cop a injury they'll be totally stuffed.
-
See sawing game b/w Freo and the Hawks. Buddy has kicked 1.4.
-
My tipping is up the creek this year. I'll be lucky if I get 3. :help
-
The Cats are looking good. Another easy win to them.
Bombers have pumped the Lions after half-time. They are at full strength too wfor next week while we are decimated with injuries :-\.
-
Bombers will be well primed up for the Dreamtime game next week. ;)
-
Beating injury-riddled bottom sides is hardly something to hang your hat on even if it does save a coach's backside :wallywink. All the pressure will be on the Bombers.
How about the Doggies! 11 of the last 12 goals to swamp the choking Pies :lol
-
Talk about messing up my tips. I think I'm lucky to get 4. Stupid Lions, Saints, Port and Pies :banghead
-
I think I got 6. Missed out on Hawks and Lions.
Kerr charging Bruce looked pretty bad. He might have just costed himself a Brownlow.
-
Sheesh wasn't Fiora lucky not to break his neck after he came down from that mark tonight :o.
-
Watch the Freo/Saints game last night.
Agree Fiora was lucky not suffer a serious neck injury
What I also noticed is St Kilda have copied a long time Richmond game plan but substituing one part of it.
The Saints have employed the following:
Kick it to Nick as opposed to "kick it to Richo"
:rollin :rollin
Seriously how bad ar ethe over rated Saints ;D
-
The Saints have heaps of injuries but lol WP you're right. I hope the umps are that Riewoldt friendly with our Jack.
At quarter time today I was hoping Blues were on their way to an upset win so they'd be closer to not getting a priority pick but the Crows have blown them out fo the water in the 2nd quarter.
Good to see another high scoring Hawthorn game :whistle :sleep.
-
The pussies are taking all before them over the past month. Another thumping win this time over Port in Adelaide.
-
Dees up on Adelaide by 36 :thumbsup
-
The Dees are still up by 43 points 20 mins into 3rd quarter. Rex has given them the fat lady. It stuffs up my tips but I hope they win easily :pray. Then we can win tonight and keep our first pick lol.
Bruce doing great for my footyrocks team :thumbsup
-
Bruce doing great for my footyrocks team :thumbsup
And mine :thumbsup
-
The Dees did their best to lose it in the last quarter but hung on. If we win well tonight we will be off the bottom of the ladder.
The Roos lack of class is being shown up by the Eagles.
-
Pavlich kicked 4.7 last night. And people bag Richo!!!
-
All forward have shockers. How many crunch goals has Rocca and Riewoldt missed too. Richo is the only one bagged for it in the media.
Another good win by the Hawks. Their core is hitting their prime age.
Good blues. Only 2 points down on the dogs :pray
-
Carlton were up by 20 points in the last but are going to throw this away :banghead. Only 3 points up and the dogs are charging.
-
9 now :thumbsup
3.5 mins to go
-
3 minutes to go. Bring on first pick :pray
-
(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t73/Froars/FIREWORKS_3_L.jpg)
One step closer to 1st draft pick :gotigers

:ROTFL
I'll wait until they get the 2 more wins needed before getting the fioreworks out Moi :rollin.
-
lol Moi!
-
Sorry was getting a bit excited lol
How about a little sparkler!
(http://www.gasdetection.com/news2/sparkler.jpg)
-
Actually had a bet with the president of the Bulldogs cheer squad.
Carlton are playing some very good footy, just stuggling to maintain it over 4 qtrs.
They should win atleast 2 more. :thumbsup
-

Sheeds wouldn't leave Essendon anyway and this year again confirms it.
Last year the Bombers couldn't finish off any of the close games they had like us this year yet this year they've won 3 straight to turn their season around. Great win by them tonight. Amazing what happens when you have all your best players playing at the top of their game. 15 players tonight from their 2003 list plus Michael and Camporeale. Only kids were Stanton (4th year), Ryder, Monfries, Davey and Slattery. Funny how a team made up of mostly kids is expected by some to do the same at Richmond ::).
Still let's see how the Dons are going in 2-3 years time when all those experienced players are gone or nearing the end. Having so many older players might win them close games now but Essendon are going to have to find virtually a whole spine in that space of time and with poorer draft picks if they finish up high on the ladder.
Well done to Hayden Kennedy too. 400 games is an great effort.
-
Bombers win

Without saying too much,you might find a whole new footy dept at punt road next year. ;)
-

So who'll be senior coach as it won't be Sheeds? Another newbie who'll be swamped by RFC's deluded and faceless coterie culture in 2-3 years then axed because he didn't deliver a quick fix :yawn.

Exactly MT - Why cant certain people see that all they are achieving is 'nothing at all' ...
Give it the 5 years then let the Board, which the majority of members (smart one's) voted for, decide from there which direction to take.
Exactly how many changes could we have made in just 2 years .... Hawthorn have shown how quick things can turn and with a few more draft picks and the 20 year olds getting experience under their belts, things could well be on track at the end of year 5.
If people really love the club I think it best Ego's and personal agendas be stowed away for a couple of years, not to long in the context of the path we have travelled the past 25 years.
Fighting and biatching amounst yourselves does no good at all, just take a look at the Aints ...
-
Well said CUB :clapping
Btw Franklin kicked 6 goals out of 9 but the Swannies got home. Well that's my tips stuffed up already :-\.
-
Go u swannies - Just need to get the Blues up tonight (Biased tip 'maybe') and I will get a bit of a lead in the tipping.
Amazing what tipping and draft selections can do to a supporter .. Go Bluebaggers :shh
-
Blues 10 goals up :thumbsup. One win to go and Moi can bring out the fireworks lol.
-
The pussies are on top of the ladder. Guess they can thank us for putting them back in form :P.
-
My tips are totally stuffed. If the Pies don't win I'll have only picked 2 winners. Who would have thought that West Coast and Port would crumble :banghead
-
Dees still up by 16 points at half-time. Go Dees :pray.
-
I have been watching the game on delay, with 6 mins to go in the second qtr Travis Cloke took a mark at the top of the goal sqaure.
Went back for the kick and put it straight through the points.
He is a terrible kick for goal :lol
-
:lol
Dees won :thumbsup. Looks like the first pick is ours and we'll be the only ones getting a priority pick this year. Picks 1, 17, 18, 33, ...
-
2 winners :banghead Thanks very much Eagles, Port, Pies and Dawks>:(
-
I haven't put in my tips for weeks, yet footytips.com.au says I got four right this week lol
-
Franklin was holding the Hawks back lol.
-
Shinboner spirit only takes you so far. The Roos will be lucky to make the Eight now. Freo look in trouble too. IMO the Dogs will replace the Roos and that'll probably be the final 8.
-
Cats win easy again this time in the wet. The poor Lions didn't kick a goal in the first half.
-
Bombers getting smashed early in the match against Port.
46-9
Power lifting for Tredrea's 200th.
-
Can tell you that the Bombers wont role over and die , not yet anyway
-
I think they just rolled - 40 points down :rollin
Comentators called Rodan the best transfer of 2007 - big call I reckon - still runs around like a scared rabbit and missed a shot from 25 metres. Good luck to him though he's a good bloke.
Maybe we could do with him and Ottens at the centre bounce ? anyone?
-
Just switched off fox 1 to the news
-
Port 70 points up at 3/4 time. This could blow out to 100 points the way it's going.
Essendon struggling again on a big ground where they get exposed for pace ;).
-
100 point blow out. We wont go there will we. :lol
-
Back to 50 points now
-
At least they didnt give up
Like past 3 weeks, they were off the boil early in game
-
Early in the game? It was 70 points at 3/4 time lol.
Port switched off in the last quarter like they did against us. I thought Richmond are the only ones deluding themselves ::). Hird has an off day and Essendon crumbles. Hmmm guess who won't be playing for them next year. And people wonder why interstate clubs dominate. They don't believe their own BS like Victorian clubs do that's why ::). Only have 4 more games left on smaller grounds (Dome) for the Dons. Good sides don't end up 70 points down at 3/4 time ;).
Gray and Westhoff are good finds for Port. Both have done well as goalscorers since they've come into the Port side over the last month despite Port's poor form. I'm surprised they were treated with no respect today.
-
If you can get a hard tag on Hird you can beat them every time - it takes another Gun to do it though - like Cornes.

You forgot to mention Rodan

You forgot to mention Rodan
Always thought that - this one could bite us.
Actually I reckon it shows that it can take longer than 12 months to get over a knee reco. They say for some it's 12 months and then another season of actual playing before you get back to your best perhaps Rodan is one of those :-\
Happy for D-Rod though - top bloke

Yep as WP said he's done really well at Port. No probs about that with me. Like Torney he didn't walk out. His time was up at Punt Rd and it was better for him to try elsewhere where he wasn't expected to be a first tier player.
Anyway a nice diversion as to why the Essendon coaching staff paid no respect to young KPP Westhoff who is averaging 3 goals a game and another kid in Gray who had 5 scoring shots the previous week and looks a real find for Port.
I'm not that happy Jack. I knew Port were after Westhoff nearly 3 months before the draft. Where were the Victorian club scouts?! As I said interstate clubs are way ahead of the Vics.
Port supporters in SA also rate Adam Cockshell 19 yo 199 cm 102 kg forward from Norwood and Justin Westhoff from Centrals 19, 197/84.

Stupid, stupid Bummers. Tip them and they lose - don't tip them and they win :banghead
-
How's this for Pies - Last 10 games all in Melbourne and 8 at the MCG ::).
-
If they can win against Sydney without some of there better players out, they nearly deserve to play finals footy anyway.
Have seen a lot of the pies this year and they are a very good ""team""
Last night, no Clement, R. Shaw, Medhurst,Buckley, Presti, and still too good.
-
Malthouse won it in the coaching box. The Pies lack class but like under Hafey in the late 70s-early 80s they are so disciplined as individuals and as a team. They out-Sydneyed Sydney. Flooded the corridor and strangled the Swans. Barry Hall is so out of form it's ain't funny. Butterfingers at the moment.
Speaking of upsets. The Saints are 4 goals up over the Eagles at Subi nearing half-time :o. Kosi is having a blinder.
-
Thats why i highlighted the word ""Team'"
"Mick has them playing as a team very well
-
I cant believe how well they are playing.
It just goes to show that it doesnt matter how much experience you have, if you are committed to the cause then you can do anything.
With Browny's return, a lot of our players could walk taller and rise to the occasion.
-
Geelong putting the Swans to the sword. If the GF was played now the Cats would be hard to beat. Swans look gone for the year.
-
The Roos did it for Arch's 300th :clapping. There must be something wrong as we'll be playing them next week without someone there having a milestone.
The Crows are looking shakey.
-
i cant see us beating the rooboys. theyre on the cusp of the 8, they cant afford to lose to us and we can afford an honorable 2 or 3 goal loss.
-
Good game Pies vs Hawks. Goal for Goal. The Pies' Irish bloke has 3 goals and 15 disposals midway through the 3rd.
-
Finally did ok in my tipping. Only ones wrong were the Tigers and the Lions.
-
Lloyd's appeal got thrown out. Poor Bombers :wallywink. They must be spewing given Goodes was let off and they tried to use Goodes' case as a defence for Lloyd.

yes agree with you Jack - I reckon Bombers are show this week against the Cats, especially now Ramanaskus (sp?) is playing.
Now that is great story :thumbsup

It's at Telstra Dome so yep they are a good chance this week.
Agree WP. Rama coming back is a great news story. All the best to him.
-
Very good chance actually.
-
Just heard on the grapevine win lose or draw tomorrow night
Bombers will carry Hird and Rama off and Rama will announce his retirement from footy
to pursue philanthropic causes regarding fundraising for cancer victims.

Was thinking he might do that, a bit like how Jason McCartney did it.
Good luck to the kid :thumbsup

All the best to Rama whatever he decides :clapping.

Only one concern for the Dons. Will that dud Johns snatch defeat from the jaws of victory ;D.
-
Yeah, good luck to Rama :clapping
After all he has been through is still able to find the will power to play the game he loves and make it back to the big time
-
Disasterous night for the Bombers. Hird doing a hammy/calf, Davey arm injury and then Fletcher and McVeigh stupidly getting themselves reported. Geelong sure made them pay too in the last quarter with more fresh men. The Cats look the real deal. Not the pure attacking frontrunners of the late 80s to mid 90s.
Good on Rama btw :clapping. At least he getting through the game and Hislop doing a couple of impressive things on debut are positives for the Dons.
-
They're just not good enough :thumbsup
-
They're just not good enough :thumbsup
True :lol but losing key players through injury and suspension will only make it certain. They have 8 wins with only 3 games left at the Dome. As we saw tonight the bombers couldn't cope with Geelong's quicks and that will be exposed further on the bigger grounds. The finals could even be in doubt now.

We may be able to put the final nail in their coffin in Rd 21, looking at their draw they have some tough matches ahead of them.
Hird is a huge loss for them as he would be leading their B&F and is a very influential player.
Rd 21 is certainly a game they will need to win in order to make the finals.
If we only win one more this year, please let it be against the Bombers so that we knock them out of the finals race :thumbsup
-
You partner in crime aint gunna be happy with you talking like that :rollin
Would be good though, wouldn't it.
Let's hope the gods stay on their side for a while yet and they desperately need a win to stay in the hunt when we meet.

Essendon is the team i hate the most, always has been and always will be.
I grew up in the Northern Suburbs and a high % of my friends are Essendon supporters, also went through school in the 80's which as we know wasnt a great time for us.
During this time i developed a strong hatred for the Bombers which will remain with me forver :lol
-
They're just not good enough :thumbsup
True :lol but losing key players through injury and suspension will only make it certain. They have 8 wins with only 3 games left at the Dome. As we saw tonight the bombers couldn't cope with Geelong's quicks and that will be exposed further on the bigger grounds. The finals could even be in doubt now.

Thought the Bombers were very good for three quarters last night against the best team in the comp at the minute.
Had no or limited bench for the nearly three quarters.
To say that the Bombers arent any good means you have little idea about football. :rollin
The Bombers are probably a 6-10 team on the ladder, nothing more ,nothing less.
At least they show a bit of heart and passion, something that one certain team in the AFL severely lacks.

Yep Carlton are struggling big time ;D.
Didn't say the Dons weren't any good; just not good enough and too reliant on Hird who won't be there next year ;).
-
Saints gone for the year. Pies came from 20 points down in the last quarter to have something like the last 9 scoring shots to win by 9 points.
The Doggies season is back on track. After the Swans v Freo game it could be down to just 10 teams left still in it.
-
Daisy thomas had goal of the year until it was called out :lol

It was just out but Thomas was stiff. He knew what he was doing as well kicking the ball at its point.

West Coast looking really wobbly after losing two in a row at home to the lowly Lions.
Despite this I still think they will win the flag. They had a mid season slump last year and recovered. Their current slump reminds me of Brisbane in 2003 when they had injuries poor form and even a qualifying final loss to the Pies before they romped it in to win the flag. I am almost inclined to think this is the best time to plonk some money on them now that they are looking vulnerable.

Useless being premiers in July, that's why I just can't pick a winner at the moment. Still think the Dogs and a couple of others might have something up their sleeves and haven't written off W/C either. Long way to go. Injuries, or lack of them, will play a big part because I reckon the teams up the top are pretty even in quality and a few could win it.
-
There i was tonight thinking for the first time in more than 2 decades that i would finally see a decent team in yellow and black out on the park and yes they turned to poo as well. The best team in Australia, the WCE put on the yellow and black or was it gold and black and they became just as bad as we were. Someone has to call a royal commission into the colors. Why does everything in yellow and black have to play like poo.
-
How is anyone meant to do well with their tipping if West Coast can lose to Bris at Subi and the Crows can beat the Dawks by such a great margin. :banghead
-
A tipping nightmare this year :P. Saints just get up over the Crows.
No wonder Kosi gets injured all the time. Just a maniac out there throwing his body at contested marks like a rag doll. Too courageous for his own good.
-
Port has pumped the Eagles by 91 points :o. Made them look like witches hats all day. With all the talk of recruiting, Westhoff is an example of Vic clubs like ours not putting in the resources to do their homework. It wasn't as though he was hidden away. Picked up late around pick 56 and in just six games has kicked 18 goals already.
Judd shouldn't be playing. He's not right. You've got to wonder how much effect Cousins playing/not playing has had on West Coast. They've gone downhill since Cousins has comeback to the club.
The Pies lost too. Always a good day when that happens ;D.

No Hird = no Essendon in the top 8 ;)

Melb and Essendon will lose next week (neither a big game?)

sorry t-rob my warped sense of humour....
Jack's saying it's a big game for the Bummers
You asked for who
I said Melbounre because they are looking for a coach and Sheeds if he doesn't get the Bummers into the finals he will be looking for a job :thumbsup

Will play the last four games of the year,
he is awaiting for the tiges in round 21 for a big one

A quarter and a half of footy - Ben Cousins 18 touches :o

Ended up being 20 to half time. Not sure how great touches they were, but phenomenal effort.
The Eagles have a fresh champion right when they need it.
Watch out Cats!
::)

Great, just what we need. Farewell flogging in style.
-
The doggies look in free fall. A combo of missing key players and their team confidence appearing utterly smashed after two floggings.
-
the bulldogs model cannot win a premiership. its the wallace model, we need to change the philosophies of how we wanna play footy at Richmond.
-
Can tell you, that the Terry model is based on the Bulldogs model.
Bulldogs have too many "" lightweights""
RFC has recruited too many lightweights.
People will start to realise sooner than later I hope.
-
Will Schofield looked very good last night, have liked him since last year and really impressed me again last night
From my mock draft last year
58. Richmond - Will Schofield
Style like: Will Thursfield
My Ranking: 47
Athletic full-back from Geelong Falcons who is very similar to our Thirsty. Tried to combine school footy with TAC cup and as a result has little exposed form. His physical attributes are also very similar. Very athletic and mobile, and looks to be a natural defender. Great closing speed, competitive and a knack of getting a fist in to spoil. Also quite a versatile player and has also shown an ability to play further up the ground on a wing or up forward. Drafting Schofield, will mean than we have full back and CHB sown up. This will also free up Thursfield to play that utility defender role, lining up on talls and smalls.

Miller get your arse into gear and get him to Punt Road, will be a fantastic FB
-
No big key forwards hurt the dogs. Not a problem when they are dominating out of the middle and can hit Johnson, Murphy, Aker and co lace out and score quickly but when under pressure they are forced short and wide and their scoring dries up. They can't kick long to a contest in their forward line as there's no one to take a contested mark or bring the ball down and hold it inside 50.
The Cats are doing a job on Freo so far btw. Looks like they'll make it 12 straight wins with us lucky 13 next week :P
-
Pies down by 39 points at quarter time :lol. Go Lions.
-
Make that down 54 at HT :lol.
-
Make that down 54 at HT :lol.

63 points now. Be funny as hell if the Pies end up missing the finals.
-
The Pies were annihlated from go to woe by 93 points :thumbsup.
The Lions are doing what Hawks did last year. They had a good start to the year then a bad midyear slump and now they're finishing the year off strongly with 4 straight wins. Brennan kicked something like 7.6 :o.
-
Glad to see the Lions flogging the Pies, even if it does stuff up my tipping.
-
Beaten by 93 points :thumbsup
Matthews has done a good job with that club.
Unlike some overrated, he is a great coach!
-
Turn on your tellie and watch the pathetic looks on Pies' supporters faces.
A joy to see lol

That senile coach has done it again, go bombers :thumbsup

You can get excited after round 22 Jack. The game was at the smaller Dome ;). Luck falling the Bombers way again this year with Jordan Lewis getting himself reported today against the Roos and Crawf and Buddy injured. The Hawks are looking very shakey with just 1 win in the past month and that was only against us.
Port are the smokeys in the comp. Top 4 and travelling under the radar.
Brent Harvey for the brownlow :shh
-
What a great last 5 minutes. Saved one of the worse games ever.
It's always amusing how when a game looks gone players suddenly say stuff the gameplan and go the short way home after spending all night going short sideways missing targets left, right and centre. How about that 75m torp by Gram straight in Riewoldt arms running back with the ball NFL style.
-
Was almost the touchdown play the Saints needed to win.
Reminded me of Ben Roethlesberger of Pittsburgh Steelers to Heinz Ward in the 2006 Superbowl. Great stuff all round.
-
Three outs for Pies - O'Bree, Wakelin, Richards
Missed the Ins
Go Blues :thumbsup
-
Quarter time - Blues 28 - Pies 24
-
Go Blues :pray. Should be further in front too.

Blues back in front :pray

82/82
C'mon Blues :banghead

Pies back in front :banghead

Carlton dragged three of their best players in the last minutes of the game :banghead

Freo giving WC a touch up
F 58
WC 30
Give them a thumping and Harvey will definitely get the job.

Freo getting stuck into Cousins - a few brawls :thumbsup
-
Anyone watching this game - absolutely out of control.
Carr brothers vs the world
The crowd getting involved throwing bottles
Cousins getting what he deserves :thumbsup
Freo will lose it though and get the criticism they deserve for playing the man.
But who cares, great entertainment :rollin
-
Best game for ages. Both teams having a crack
-
J.Brown and Franklin show at the 'G. The two of them kicked all 7 goals of the second quarter.
The Blues look like getting flogged by Port. Port 4 goals-zip and playing with them already.
-
The snow skiers are 5 goals up. If they win tonight they go to 16 points and join the blues on 16. In R22 they meet and one of them will blow there priority pick.

No Brad Johnson for the Dogs either tonight.
-
The Dees won and jump above Carlton on the ladder. The Round 22 becomes even more interesting.
-
Melbourne might blow their priority pick next week by winning against Scumwood.
Its Neitz 300th game and the first Melbourne player to ever achieve the feat. I am sure the Dees will make a big song and dance about it.
-
The Dees knocked off the Pies earlier in the year too. If they win though and lose their PP then they'll have nothing to tank for against Carlton lol.
Looks like the Roos bubble has burst. They're now outside the top 4 with Geelong to come next week.
-
This is it, THIS WEEK.
Mark my words, this IS the week we get Kruezer.
I have said all along I dont believe in this tanking talk, and this week it will be proven.
IF Carlton lose to the bumblers I may just start to believe :cheers

Will he do it ? Go on sheeds just do it :clapping

What a thug act by Ben Johnson. Hitting Bell in the head from front on while he was over the ball. Should get 6 weeks at least for that.
Poor Dutchy popped his shoulder too and the docs couldn't get it back in before heading off to hospital :(
Bloody Collingwood :banghead

Bell is okay and back up and walking around. Very lucky.

LOL Hawthorn choked ;D and Buddy went missing again against top opposition ::).
Geelong looks far above everyone else anyway. Just as the Roos got within 2 points the Cats have just banged on 5 goals in a row.
-
The Doggies' are gone for the year. The Aker experiment didn't work to cover up their deficiencies. Topping up with recycled players rarely works as the RFC knows all too well.

At the bounce yesterday and spotted this and knew it was heading towards disaster and pointed it out to my Hawks following mate before it happened. 8)
When Motlop nailed the goal to put them 1 point down with 47 seconds left I watched Roughy run all the way down to full back to act as a spare man with most of the other Hawks players. And there was Chaplin standing all alone on the defensive side of the wings not knowing what to do until the Port bench yelled to him to sprint to the offensive side. So he did and stood as a loose man at the ball up on the corner of the centre square while Roughy stood by himself in the "hole." After Brogan's thump it was on its way to him already so I think Brogan knew exactly what he was doing with direction of the punch, Chaplin got the possession, was by himself and on the 50 and bombed it long to Ebert.
Goal. Winners.
Sometimes the flood doesnt pay off . . . .
By the Hawks telling Roughy to not worry about his man Port had a spare to quickly work out how best to use him. They did it.
Very very smart team play by Port Adelaide.

As Clarkson was an assistant under Williams at Port you would've thought they each would know what the other was up to. Well Williams did lol.

Our form line can't be too bad going by last night's game and our game against the Eagles at Subi. The Eagles after being 28 points down at quarter time just killed the Saints who totally died off after half-time tonight. Whoever plays on Gehrig (Joel?) next week is going to have to copy Glass and run Fraser up the ground and off his feet.
Fiora is still Fiora even if he's had a good year. Disappears under pressure.

Your a bit harsh on Fiona arent you. He has played every game for the saints this year and he actually plays an important part at the saints. Not his fault he got drafted where he did.
Did some great stuff last night, yes he did have a bad turnover but if you attend Richmond games, you would be used to seeing turnovers

Yeah maybe I am a bit harsh but that turnover summed Fiora up. It wasn't that he turned it over, it was just such a lazy kick in defence at a crucial stage of the game. No intensity when the game is up for grabs. Mind you he had plenty of mates in Saint jumpers.
-
It's now the percentage war Carlton are trying to win.
They managed to drop their percentage to 74 today making them 15th on the ladder - Dees 77
Freo are 37 points up in 3rd quarter. Expecting a blowout and then game on :nope next week between the two :thumbsup
-
I think the Dees heard you Moi lol. 10 goals down now.
Both the Blues and Dees warming up their tanks.
-
Some freakish stuff in the other game today.
The Hawks kicked 16.10 to 2.4 after the doggies lead at half-time. Hodge 34 possies and 6 goals :o
How do you kick 2.11 like Buddy today ??? :gobdrop.
Port knocked off Geelong with the winning goal just 3 seconds from the end. You're not premiers yet Catters ;).
-
How do you kick 2.11 like Buddy today ??? :gobdrop.
And people bag Richo ::)
-
It'll be another year of watching the Pies get knocked out in first week of the finals. The most overrated side in the comp. It must be so easy to make the finals when you play the bottom 8 sides 13 times (the most in the AFL) ::).
-
Aww no fairytale for Sheedy or Hirdy :outtahere
-
Aww no fairytale for Sheedy or Hirdy :outtahere
It was the best last quarter of football you would see for a long time, Lucas kicked 7 in the quarter
-
Sydney are smashing Hawthorn by 70 points :lol. Buddy missing again against top sides ::)
-
Congrats to the Roos on making the top 4. More deserving of it than soft serves like the Pies and Hawks who'll get knocked out first week of the finals.
