Something I took away from Jacks book is that players don’t have the same “animosity “ towards the opposition as life long supporters.
I doubt the club would barely look twice at what some consider an indiscretion.

Players have hardly cared for a generation or so.

I once asked Glenn Manton about this and he said he doesn't even bother supporting a team after playing AFL, just hopes the game is good quality.

Would be hard for a lot of blokes these days given most of them are so connected with social media etc unlike the 90's and earlier.

Have been hearing very very good things about Kane McAuliffe and his training / match sim work.

A few in the know are bullish about a very early debut.

Correct. McAuliffe doing some things on the track that are ultra impressive. #GoTiges

Kane McAuliffe $117k #SuperCoach MID

Pick 40 in 2023 #AFL National Draft. Looked strong during Richmond's match simulation, shrugging off bigger bodied MID's & got plenty of the footy. There are still others likely ahead of him but he should make his debut in 24. #GoTigers

thru work met one of his teachers who has a bit to do with the family and his footy. he describes him as an absolute  beast and big ball winner and he and his family and friends  they were wrapt he got picked up by us though they prefered he would stay in sa obviously.

Since then have tried to get on him what i can and going by everything you would have to say he is a ready to go player.
Maybe we have an inside player to take over from Prestia  or an out of form Hopper they both had better watch out.

“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

“Absolutely dominated”: Richmond draftee a shining light at first Punt Road pre-season

Mitch Keating

A young Richmond draftee has emerged as "one to look out for" after an impressive start to life in the yellow and black.

South Australian addition Kane McAuliffe has begun to gain the attention of his new teammates at Punt Road just months on from joining the Tigers as the 40th overall pick at last November's National Draft.

The Port Augusta product is an explosive and powerful inside midfielder who adds to the Tigers' strong engine room ensemble, with the teenager taking no time to earn some plaudits from his peers.

Across recent sessions under new coach Adem Yze, McAuliffe has "absolutely dominated" to potentially be in the mix for an Opening Round debut.

"We've got a new draftee, Kane McAuliffe, he's a big-bodied mid," Richmond's Hugo Ralpsmith said on RSN when quizzed on pre-season standouts.

"We had a bit of match sim last week and he absolutely dominated. So I think he's one to look out for."

McAuliffe shared his draft season between North Adelaide's reserves and U18s sides in the SANFL last year, showcasing his ball-winning nous and clean clearance work.

The 18-year-old has joined Richmond in the early stages of their new era under Yze, who replaced triple premiership coach Damien Hardwick after a 13th-place finish to 2023 for the Tigers.

Be hilariously ironic if our revival was led by the emergence of a South Australian named Kane... :shh
