Match Sim - Richmond vs Melbourne @ Casey Fields --- Sun, Feb 18

[Tiger Khosh]

I only caught qtrs 3 & 4 but it seems based on the comments here that young Samson hasn’t included his contest work at all. Needs to impose himself more, can’t be losing contests to players half his size let alone the taller opps. The 5 seconds he spends contesting each ruck contest isn’t enough to warrant a spot. Might be 3rd choice ruck at this point.

"Overall, we're pretty pleased... The cohesion and the chemistry that we're starting to build, today was certainly a step forward in that."

Hear from assistant coach Ben Rutten following today's match sim against Melbourne.

I know we arent allowed to say the word that rhymes with cat when discussing overweight female players

This isn’t the case with male players I assume .. as Zion Williamson is called out frequently for being fat and having a lack of professionalism

Would anyone here consider MRJ’s condition as being adequate for an AFL footballer?

Are the rules different for aboriginal players or whatever an aboriginal is called in 2024 that isn’t offensive ?

Dan Connors was a flog, and got called out publicly for his conditioning ..

I couldn't give a stuff about what he looks like, I just judge him on performance. If he kicks and creates goals, and performs defensively, then he can look like Billy Bunter for all I care.

Not a big deal and this may have been discussed already but was there any reason why our playing jumper didn't have a black sash?
It seemed a little empty and boring for a jumper. I think it could at least had a Tiger on the front of it.

How shyte was the commentsary btw? Was more like an episode of This is Your Life where Michael Barlow was the guest of honour.

I think the idea is that players have to earn the sash by playing in official AFL games so they no longer put it on the pre season guernseys. But yeah agreed, could atleast chuck the tiger on the front.

So which afl listed players only got game time in quarters 5-7? i.e. who is Defs not playing round 0.

Cumberland, Miller, HRS, Kaleb Smith

HRS - LOL. That dud isn’t even VFL standard.

We don't wear match day guernseys in the pre-seaon. We haven't since Newy was captain. TK is correct players must earn the Sash. Nothing new here

So we wore our yellow training guernseys. Our 2024 training guernseys don't have a Tiger on the front just grey lines (stripes)
