Nats and Libs to split. There goes the next election. Looking forward to 6 years of Labor rule.

I've no doubt before the next election there will be a reconciliation

Looks like there is a possibility of a lib split as well. The moderate Libs joining up with some of the teals. The right leaning Libs joining the Nats. Interesting. It would mean the next two elections for Labor guaranteed. 9 years of Albo. How will we cope?


How about post when something actually happens instead of 65 type hypotheticals

"They would love Dustin there as a mentor to this brilliant group of young players."

Vlastuin enters elite Tigers top 20 list

Nick Vlastuin has moved into the top 20 of Richmond’s all-time games played list.

The triple Tiger premiership star defender played his 244th game in last Friday night’s Dreamtime at the G’ blockbuster, taking him past dual Jack Dyer Medallist Brett Deledio on 243 and level with club great Brendon Gale.

He is one game away from 1969 premiership captain Roger Dean and seven from another triple flag Tiger in Kevin Sheedy.

Vlastuin, recruited by Richmond with its first pick (No. 9 overall) in the 2012 AFL national draft, has been an ultra-consistent performer throughout his playing career at the game’s top level, averaging 17.2 disposals, 5.9 marks, 4.0 rebound-50s, 6.1 intercepts and 265.2 metres gained.

He has finished in the top 10 of the Jack Dyer Medal count seven times, with a best result of runner-up last year.

This season, Vlastuin is averaging 19.0 disposals, 6.5 marks, 5.7 rebound-50s, 7.8 intercepts and 387.4 metres gained per match.

Competition-wide, he is ranked No. 2 for intercepts and No. 5 for rebound-50s.

Given he continues to maintain such a high level of form, and he’s only recently turned 31 years of age, Vlastuin appears a good chance to become just the eighth player in Richmond’s entire history to reach the 300-game milestone.

Will say this first IT WON'T HAPPEN but id be happy if it did.

Vlastuin - Gray - Broad
Banks - Miller - Brown

HRS - Taranto - Clarke
Nankervis - McAuliffe - Prestia

Campbell - Faull - Algar
Blight - Lynch - Mansell

Sonsie - Hopper - Ross - Smith - McIntosh/Trezise.

Ins - Clarke, Algar, Blight , Lynch , Sonsie, Nankervis, Prestia.
Out - Rioli omitted, Lalor inj, Dow inj, Ryan omitted, Green omitted, Trainor banged up rested, Sims good block but needs a break as well.

Its a more experienced side but importantly it rewards good VFL form and is mostly like for like replacements.
Prestia, Sonsie for Lalor and Dow.
Blight for Sims who needs a rest so does Faull imo.
Lynch for Trainor who looks banged up and definately needs a rest and played tall forward last week.
Nankervis for Ryan Bit od a no brainer that one
Algar for Rioli another no brainer.
Clarke for Green who is struggling badly.
Like the team, esp Blight and hope Sonsie gets a decent run in the guts

Has anyone at the club said he was being managed by playing at FF?

The way I saw it was that without Lynch we needed a focal point up fwd and Lalor is sadly our best option.

Club hasn't said it, so not sure where it came from. The media?

But you are 100% correct, no Lynch we had few options, he was the best option
