Non Richmond Games 2025

One the Pies, Cats & Hawks now will win the flag  . Thanks pretender interstate sides losing on their home deck .

Only positive from tonight is our draft strategy is following Hawthorn's. Going full on rebuild after a dynasty and bringing a new young group through together. If we do copy them timeframe wise, the next few years will be locked near the bottom, but we'll rise back into finals by 2029 and a Prelim by 2030.

yes, though i feel clarko dragged it on one more year than us

FA needs to start now i feel with a pair of 24 year olds.

Yeah, that's true. Clarkson did drag it out another year compared to us as he stayed until 6 years after the Hawks' last flag. Whereas Dimma quit 3 years after our last premiership and we started our rebuild proper really only this year 5 years since the 2020 flag.

It would be great to get some young FA to help accelerate the rebuild, but IMO we won't attract too much interest until we look like rising up the ladder in a couple of years time.

I mentioned this in another thread, rome wasnt built in a day.

grigger and Bachar didnt think the same when they came over. Joined almost exactly the same time in our last rebuild.

Lets start now.

Tom Stewart out of the GF with concussion if the Cats make it.

[Damo]

Dangerfield is a freak
Prime danger was next to Dusty as best of modern times

What he’s done tonight at age 35 is next level sensational

What an absolute gun

[Tiger Khosh]

Excellent result.

Now for the lions to do the job tomorrow…..

[WilliamPowell]

I'm no fan of Geelong but great to see them show up Hawthorn for the pretenders they are (IMHO)

Some of their so called stars went missing when the neat was on

 And I have to I thoroughly enjoyed it

Also it's taken a few years but the old karma bus has finally picked up Tom Stewart

Glorious weekend.

Let’s go brissy next week 

[Andyy]

3 weeks for that are you effing kidding me?

Pinned both the arms, driven into the ground, player couldn’t defend themselves resulting in concussion. Was always going to be 3 weeks that is of course unless the hawks made the granny then who knows

[Andyy]

I guess technically so but sheesh that happened in about a quarter of a second. Zero malice at all.

Couldn't have happened to a bigger tosser as well.

[JP Tiger]

That wasn't worth 3 weeks!  Split second stuff that went wrong, more accidental than anything else.     

[Francois Jackson]

Should have got off.

Knocking Stewart out deserves a discount.

What a great weekend this is turning out to be. What a beautiful non free kick it was. For once they didn't get the rub off the green.
