Non-Richmond games 2022

The umps sure look after the Pies. No such thing as HTB for them while that non-call ignoring the clear whack to Marshall's head with 4 mins to go kept the Pies safely more than a kick in front. 

Higgo no goals and 4 behinds. Same old same old. Mind you at least he had a few shots at goal unlike Butler who has gone missing at the Saints post his first 11 weeks there in 2020 where he was on fire.

Bad loss for the Saints. The an older group but unlike us they aren't coming off flags and GFs. Their current group of mature top ups was exposed once again tonight. They are trapped in mid-ladder mediocre land and are going nowhere. Not good enough to play finals but not rebuilding via the draft either.

Essendon meet reality check  .

Another year of getting pumped up by the media during the preseason before being found out as pretenders yet again .

4 goals to Stengle today. Granted it was against a hapless Essendon and a very open game with little physical pressure but if he's now matured and learnt from his past mistakes and can find some consistency then he can become a good get for the Cats. He always had natural talent. It was a lack of maturity and commitment both on and off field that let him down and cost his career at two clubs. We offered him a two year deal at the end of 2018 but he walked out on us claiming lack of opportunity rather than staying and working hard for a spot in our 22 ahead of Butler, Higgins (both gone) and Dan Rioli (now at half-back). We're now crying out for damaging small forwards  .

Tom Green....

I’m sure Betts at Geelong would be doing wonders for Stengle.

Norf heading for another spoon  .

Just 4 disposals for CCJ by the way. He can't blame us anymore for him hardly touching the pill.

Rachele has this week's Rising Star nomination in the bag with 5 goals on debut. No wonder the Crows were desperate to get him.

Death riding the roos this year. Pick 19 would be a great get for us.

A few ex-Tigers in last night's game - Ellis, Chol, Naish.

Carlton all over the Dogs so far. The Blues carrying on from last week against us.

[mightytiges]

9 goals between McKay and Curnow tonight. Shows how well Tarrant, Gibcus and Grimes did last week to hold both of them to just 1 goal combined given the Blues clearance domination.

Carlton remind me us in 1995. Starting the season all guns blazing after a decade long drought as a bottom 4 side. Right now they would beat most sides. The question is whether they can keep this high intensity up all season.

Dogs have Sydney next week. Could easily be 0-3 when we play them in Round 4. No guarantee we won't be winless either if our midfield dish up the same soft rubbish before then  .

Ah there's the old Scum that gets kissed on the dick every week that I grew up with....

Congrats Buddy  .

Incredible scenes!  Looked like 20k ended up on the ground around him. The few security guards had no chance lol. Thankfully no idiots spoiled it. Buddy himself was loving it. Couldn't get the smile off his face.

That's fan engagement!

Dunno if anyone will ever kick 100/year again but they need to let this stuff happen.

Imagine getting there first and joining the team hug? Amazing
