Does it sound that stupid does it. Put your Reserves in & Bruise them all up & let them win so we can play them next week with our rested players who are MOSTLY DINOSAURS.

Get real mate that is pathetic

its not cheating

its tactical and within the rules

richmond are stupid for not doing everything possibly in order to win a flag/final

do you think the side playing in the FA Cup finals plays all its stars the week before? unless absolutely required

someone might wanna tell dimma and pagan it aint 1975 anymore

Your right its not cheating & within the rules but l bet it gets changed so it will never happen again. Your 100% right Premier League do the same several times each season before huge games.

What we fell for was they never wanted to win the game. They wanted to belt us up from the start. They had nothing to lose at all & had planned to play us the next week. They knew we were petrified of playing away from home at Adelaide away from our fans because we missed last year having a huge crowd. Watch the Replay of Round 23 & watch how many times their players only had eyes for our players. They beat us Black & Blue. Miles, Martin, Cotchin, Deledio, Rewoldt, Grigg, Houli, Grimes, Rance, Edwards Vlaustin all copped it

how can they change the rules?

how can the AFL prove, what players have "general soreness" and who does not?

almost everyone is carrying a knock at the end of the year anyway

they cant do anything due to having the pants potentially sued off them



personally, i thought norf played their hand perfect. apart from losing the pre lim

Who knows how they would stop it. But your right North played it perfect.

The reason why they lost on the weekend is because Dinosaurs don't cut it with the likes of Natinau. Priddis, & Co

I thought his year was solid. Didn't have as much on the highlight reel in the forward line as last year but I thought his ability to set up plays and his involvement in our scoring chains was very good for us.

Good to see that his tackling has gone up also. My only criticism is that he seems to take the game on less this year and when he's <60m away from goal on the run he looks for a forward target which although is the team thing, I would prefer he take a shot because Dustin Martin 55m out on the run kicking for goal goes through the big sticks 99/100. Can't say the same thing about our set shot kicking within the 50m arc.

So yeah I gave him a 9 for pretty much playing all over the ground. Wish he would take the game on more though.

We won't see dusty get any better with the current list of pretenders.

Average players need good players around them to play well. Good players need good players around them to play great. Great players only need a team to be great.

I see dusty as a future great. Will get better in years to come.

Great players, need lesser teammates to do the job at a satisfactory level

Or, at least as travis boak says follow, when the leaders are inspiring

Stagnated on greatness! Seriously consistent this year. With Rance, our best.

Yep I gave him a 9. Freak of the team, need him doing the same next year but also have his mates lifting.

Would also be looking to sew his contract up for the rest of his career as soon as we can. Can't afford to lose him to another club.
