Welcome everyone to One-Eyed Richmond's Tiger Forum Cheers from mightytiges and WilliamPowell.
are you saying that geelong and collingwood dont have a restriction on the number of alf listed players they can play in the vfl when playing against non aligned teams?

By the rolly eyes you either dont understand, a not unusual thing for you, or you dont know. an even more common thing with you. If you insist on acting like a dick head all the time one will assume you are exactly that. What is the rolly eyes thing anyway? some childish attempt at sarcasm.I will assume on this occasion its the former and you dont understand what was being asked. So will ask again hopefully in a way your 10 yr old brain can comprehend. How does having a stand alone team alleviate the current problem of playing 3 ruckmen 5 tall defenders and 4 tall forwards in the one team? How do collingwood and geelong get around this problem? How do they fit all of their talls into one reserve team and still play enough mids etc? Geelong have the same number of talls as us on their list, in Collingwoods case more. Yet dont seem to have this structural problem that we have at coburg of trying to fit so many talls into one team thus not playing enough mids. thus playing pretty ordinarily most weeks.just a few questions that i would have thought deserve a civil answer. instead of the 10 yr old rolly eyes behavior of someone who clearly doesnt have a clue.. you know the old saying of.its better to remain quiet and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt. sort of sums you up to a tee.

when you say they, you mean collingwood and geelong?these two can play any number of afl listed players in any game, where as sides like coburg have a restriction on the number of afl listed player when playing non affiliated teams?

RFC should not field a stand alone club due to a lack of mids on the list?Did you ever think we will draft some more? you know, that upcomming 'superdraft'..
Why don't all teams just have a 'reserves' and play the other AFL sides in scratch matches each weekend? No need for a competition, just play each other over and over again.
Claw - if cwood geelong can do it why cant we?

And you can add the bumbers to that list aswell because unlike our footy club they haven't chickened out as we did but cut ties with bendigo & got in early for next season as we shouldve done. I was amazed when I found out we resigned with coburg for 3 more years
