What's the bet Dangerwank kicks 5 goals, 2-3 from pure flops.

Don’t come at me but I think we need to pluck Kosi out of his semi retirement in the VFL and play him in the forward line - just as a mature body who can compete.

We can’t just play kids or it’s going to be a slaughter we haven’t seen since Malcom Blight was coach of Geelong.

Did Tex get reported? Hit Hugo in the back, difference is Hugo didn't flop...

Here's the vision of that incident.

https://x.com/mallen101/status/1939497990777160181

That's actually quite bad!  Tex throws a coward punch from behind at Hugo's head & not a mention anywhere?   It wasn't severe, but it was unexpected & enough to knock Hugo's head forward ... and yet ... *crickets ...   

Looked like a slap to the back of the head. Should be a free kick or fine IMO. Maybe a week if we're being harsh.

Lynch will get weeks because the reality is that he's lucky he didn't connect better. The crow idiot laughed about it on the ground and got up but ultimately Lynch took a fair dinkum swing at his head.

I'm actually OK with the league applying 'potential for harm's here, just wish they'd do it consistently.

I think it's 3 minimum, probably 4, 5 max/bit harsh. No way it's more than 5.

its never consistent so its not even a valid point.

what is the way this has always been adjudicated? If no harm done then sentence is less. well wtf did this guy do then? He got up and walked off.

its an absolute joke is what it is.

should be 2 max but he will get 5 IMO.

It's a very valid point.

It either needs to be applied consistently or never.

I'm happy either way as long as everyone plays by the same rules.

Yeah nah this time it was the fault of the idiot coach chucking him the ruck. #interimadem.

Yeh well noted dio. What in the actual f was he rucking for. Balta should have been the second option from the get go. Wasn't a good option regardless of the calf injury.

Agree 100%. I didn't see the game but if they put Lefau in the ruck they are pretty stupid.
I'm all in for using Balta as a ruckman. Give him more and more opportunities and minutes now whilst we can.

It's nice to see Steve Dimopoulos wanting "women"and "girls" rightfully represented and looked after. Just one question,

What is a woman?

Richmond Rant / Re: Will we win a game this year and if so how many?

Been a funny year as a Tiger supporter, unsure what others have felt but from a supporter point of view the fixturing has been a nightmare to attend regularly. With either interstate games, gather round, Marvel, or fully ticketed match ups at the MCG its not been easy. With our crew we regularly go with, we have a mixture of AFL, MCC and Tiger members, we generally just all meet in the general seating, so full ticketed MCG games makes that really hard and we end up seating isolated. Been a shame in that sense.

Playing wise, winning wise it's a rebuild. Hate to say but the year regardless of how it finishes is sort of a pass, winning round 1, and beating Dimma, apart from beating Essendon, they are 2 of the best wins we could have had. So full credit, if we don't win anymore so be it.

I like Yze, for the current phase we are in, I personally don't think he is our next premiership coach, and that doesn't mean I want him sacked but think win/loss ratio isn't the metric to judge him on. It's player development of our next crop. Trainors rise, Lalor started well, Faull been good, Campbell development - it's this I want to see under Yze because that is the key.

What I personally don't really want to see if Prestia, Taranto and Hopper in the middle for CBA's for majority of our games. Understand Lalor and Smillie are injured but I want to see Sonsie, McAullife in there. I mean we are losing anyway, so keen to see development and opportunity over seeing the old guys monopolise spots and we lose anyway.

Any way we can get Hodge as some form of coaches assistant??

There's a tiny thing and that's he would want to coach

He has said he doesn't want to to right now

Why would he? He said he earns more now doing media than he ever would as an assistant

We get pick 1 if we don’t win another game.

Personally I hope we beat WCE.

In reality North and ESS will cut us to pieces unless we change something.
Balta on the wing is my suggestion, Young can play forward with Lynch out and Blight can play back. We need to change something. At the moment it is horrendous to watch.

Any way we can get Hodge as some form of coaches assistant??

How does that work? Do West Coast get 8 points if they beat us
