Nothing for X to answer for from the MRP...

Contact between Richmond’s Tom Derickx and Fremantle’s Lee Spurr from the third quarter of Sunday’s match was assessed. Spurr took possession of the ball in a pack of players and was immediately tackled by Derickx. Derickx lifted Spurr into the air but did not drive him into the ground with his tackle with excessive force. A free kick was paid by the controlling umpire at the time and it was the view of the panel that Derickx’s actions were not reportable. No further action was taken.

That free was a load of crap as well! all he did was swung him round and into the ground, he didn't have his arms pinned and he didn't slam him head first. What a joke.....

its stuffing turning into fairyball, might as well make the ball round and wear shinguards and have a cuddle when we score a goal.

[bojangles17]

thank heavens for all that, I like this lad and if he keeps Gus out of the side I luv him even more

[Owl]

scary luv or just bromance?  If you got a handlebar moustache and you sell guns, its gotta be scary love..

[Coach]

Never has a player done so little yet get talked about as if he's a future gun. Let's not forget this "lad" is 4 years older than Browne. Speaking of Browne, where the stuff is he? Sitting at home with his new hair cut? When are they going to give the big fella a run

Yes agree, if we don't give him a shot in the NAB we may as well of delisted him.....unless injured of course, or coming back from injury..
