Richmond Rant / Re: Rhyan Mansell cops 3 weeks from the Tribunal [updated]

« Last post by Hard Roar Tiger on Today at 08:36:48 AM »

if our club was treated the same as others then i would have no issue with this decision, but we arent.

we are an easy scapegoat due to our bottom finish. No way in hell this would be 3 weeks if it were daicos so therefore its a load of bs.

Or a prelim final and maynard pushed brayshaw

i'm not convinced Damo. There are many stupid people around. Look at how andrews and the dumb mole allan are hailed for the mess they put Victoria in.

Why is it anytime you post about a woman you don't like, who holds a position of authority you resort to including a gender based insult?

You don't like them I really don't care but there's no need for the sexist, misogynistic tripe that always dish up.

And before you start in on me saying I'm an ALP apologist. I'm deadset against the SRL, the State simply cannot afford it and it isn't IMHO a priority. Airport Rail link is the project that needs priority

We call Albo & Dan names all the time , MT & 65 do the same to Dutton -  typical leftist hypocrisy 'woman are strong girlbosses but also delicate little flowers that can't be criticised" Double sided is the gender card. She's a political leader and they're fair game regardless of their sex or affiliation. Guessing you weren't so offended in the 80's about what your side said about Thatcher every other day or the racist and  sexist stuff you lot regularly spew about Jacinta Price or any other female conservative who doesn't tow the feminazi sisterhood line. Like I said , if it wasn't for double standards the left wouldn't have any standards.

My side?

It's getting very tiresome TBBH. It's about respect and decency

Clearly you and others don't get it.

It was offensive then , it's offensive now. Biggest single difference is back then people didn't have the courage to call it out. Times have changed (thank god) but there's still a long way to go as has been proven by you and others.

As for calling the others names, the homophones crap has been called out and removed. The other stuff is it gender based? No, massive difference

There’s a reason I call it put and it has nothing to do with political ideology

Mansells aggression will be missed. Would bring in mrj to at least lay some tackles.

In the mix - Round 4

Sarah Black
afl.com.au
1 April 2025

Wingers Banks and Ralphsmith are chances to return against Brisbane, the latter having injured himself in the match simulation against West Coast six weeks ago, while Smillie is set to return through the VFL. Fawcett's VFL appearance lasted less than a quarter, suffering a broken nose and concussion that will sideline him for a handful of weeks. Clarke has a return timeframe for the first time after rupturing his ACL in April last year. Kane McAuliffe was once again Richmond's best in the VFL, with 28 and nine clearances, while draftee small forward Jasper Alger is putting pressure on after 12 touches and two goals.

View from the Outer / AFL weighing up October Grand Final switch to allow Origin return (Fox)

« Last post by one-eyed on Today at 12:54:28 AM »

The AFL is considering moving the Grand Final from its traditional end of September date for at least two years, while two top clubs are pushing to scrap the pre-finals bye.

Nine’s Eddie McGuire reported AFL heavyweights are debating whether to move the game into the second week of October for 2026 and 2027 for several reasons.

It would allow a renewed State of Origin to launch the season, while also avoiding clashes with several major events in Melbourne over the next two years - the Formula 1 Grand Prix (which clashed with Round 1 this year), the NFL game at the MCG in early September 2026, and the special 150th Anniversary Test between Australia and England in March 2027.

Richmond Rant / Re: Samson Ryan [merged]

« Last post by one-eyed on Today at 12:52:13 AM »

Fringe Richmond ruckman Samson Ryan has been offered a one-game suspension by the VFL's Match Review Panel, with the young Tiger likely to avoid a ban via an early guilty plea.

Ryan has been charged with rough conduct for a high bump on Sandringham's Jet Peckett during Saturday's win over the Zebras at RSEA Park, with the MRP grading the 24-year-old's actions as careless conduct, low impact and high contact.

The charge holds a base sanction of a one-game suspension, however an early plea would allow Ryan to be available for selection this week and instead walk away with a $500 fine and a reprimand.

A challenge of the charge would risk the suspension being upheld and would rule Ryan out of playing at both AFL and VFL level this weekend, with the Tigers scheduled to face Brisbane at both levels on Saturday.

Ryan has enjoyed a positive start to 2025 at the state league level, booting four goals in his two appearances against Coburg and Sandringham as a ruck-forward hybrid.

If we can outscore them in one quarter- that’s a win .
