Nothing directly about us from Hutchy except that Fev is still on crutches...

* Clubs today even discussed having a third boutique stadium such as a renovated former ground.

* TV rights figure would be slashed if it went out to tender now. The AFL need to wait a couple of years for them to go up again and reach the $1 billion mark (= 25% rise).

* Fevola - on crutches till Monday. Carlton and Judd saying he'll play but Fev isn't that sure according to Hutchy. Lyon says his sources say he no certainty to play. Hutchy reckons he'll just make it.

* Gold Coast 2011 and West Sydney 2012 still to go ahead.

* They also showed a snippet of the AFL's new million dollar TV ad.

Carey on now.

He definitely seems much more genuine compared to his previous interviews.
Very similar to the way Ben Cousins' first press conference after his first training session was quite impressive

havne't watched the footy show but based on his speech from the other night have to agree

Actually watched half of his speech from the other night on Bigpond. He got very emotional especially about his family

Hutchy just on and said there's been a drama with the Cuz and the media.

Ben didn't want to do the interview with Ch 10 tomorrow but the new media agreement (every player has to make himself available to the media on request 4 times a year) meant he had to do it otherwise the club would get finded $10,000

Cuz has also signed to be a footy columnist with the Herald-Sun.

[Infamy]

I suspect those 4 requests will get used up pretty early in the season

[mightytiges]

Yep we need another interview from Cuz because we haven't heard a word about him all summer  .


As for Carey, let's hope for his sake and the people close to him such as his brother and family this is a sign he's finally grown up and like Cuz this time his remorse is genuine as it looks and he gets his life back in order. I still think though North needs Carey more than vice versa due to their financial plight and that's why they have accepted him back so keenly.

The big fella is on the footy show tonight.

[one-eyed]

Richo said it was the worst game in his time at Richmond. Big build over 3 months and we didn't fire a shot.

Not the worst in terms of backlash from supporters. They've been pretty good to him this week. The worst the players have felt just from sheer embarrassment.

They showed the vision of Richo massively celebrating his poster last week lol.

Then they showed the dreamteam ad he did .

Sam said of Richo's goalkicking - "You take the gas. You choke. There's nothing wrong with you physically as you kick goals at training. You're spiritual inept." Richo replied "I've never seen you Sam down at our training once in the whole 15 years I've been at Richmond and you're about the only person who hasn't helped with my goalkicking." Turns out Richo has a better goalkicking conversion than Lyon and Ablett snr.

Richo and Sam had a goalkicking play-off at Punt Rd today. They're going to show it later on in the show.

[Jackstar is back]

you might see B.rawlings and Simpson on the footy show soon, lol

[Hellenic Tiger]

Simpson and Daniel Pratt.

[mightytiges]

How many times today has someone from the Roos said we apologise if we offended anyone and any women 

Sam may have taught Richo something after 16 years although the big fella always finds the shots from the boundary easier than the ones directly in front lol.

1. Posture
2. Rhythm
3. Ball drop
4. Aim


As for Cuz with his hand in that front pouch .... ummm

Yeh I havent actually seen it or heard too much about it but wasn't it dead chooks they should be apologising to?
