Yep. I remember that. Sold his soul to the media for a salary. A professional troll
“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.

Didn’t campbo say something like he didn’t want to eclipse the games record of Bourke and dyer because he didn’t feel right having his name held next to theirs so bowed out?
Yep.


Campbell says at this point in his life he's not upset about falling short of the milestone.

"In 15 years I may be. As a Richmond supporter when I was young and someone who loves the history, I think there's something good that Bourke, Dyer and Bartlett are the three players who head up the games list," Campbell said.

"If I play 303, am I a better player than Francis Bourke? I don't think so. I don't think it really matters that much.

"If 300 had have happened this year, it would have been great. I would have loved it."

There’s a very worthy 4th member about to join that club in a few weeks time.

Jack owns Kane by retweeting Cornes' tweet from late 2016 where he said at the time that Prestia for pick 6 was a mistake  :wallywink.

Nothing when we win but the first 10 minutes on the show tonight was about us given we lost badly ::).

-------------------

"They've got a fair amount of serious issues that I don't think they can overcome."

Kane Cornes lists four reasons as to why Richmond will not win the premiership this season.

1. Opposition sides have discovered the how to stop Dusty blueprint.

2. Cotchin playing below his best.

3. Growing injury list.

4. MCG record unwinding.

Watch here: https://twitter.com/FootyonNine/status/1409490993519513601

---------------------------

"It would be more of a shock for me if they went and did it again."

Matthew Lloyd  takes a look at the recent Brisbane and Hawthorn dynasties, and explains why it's no surprise Richmond isn't as dominant as it has been.     

  Brisbane            Hawthorn               Richmond
2001  Premiers            2012  Grand Finalist           2017  Premiers
2002  Premiers            2013  Premiers                  2018  Prelim Finalist
2003  Premiers            2014  Premiers                  2019  Premiers
2004  Grand Finalist     2015  Premiers                  2020  Premiers
2005  11th                  2016  Straight sets            2021      ?

Reasons for falling away in the 5th year:

1. Your players lose hunger

2. You don't get top end (draft) talent into your football club.

3. Your system gets looked at and picked apart.

4. Your IP gets taken by other clubs.

5. Your best players becoming aging.


Kane Cornes added if Richmond ends up winning the flag this year it will be the greatest achievement he has ever seen in his lifetime.

If Cornwit strings a few sensible sentences together that would be the greatest achievement he has ever made

I can’t disagree, wrote the same thing a couple of days ago. But coming from him is never anything other than a copy and paste from someone else.

We got another mention last night. They compared our forward half stats from 2020 with this year.

                                    2020   2021
Forward half diff              1st     7th 
Forward half pressure      7th     9th
Forward half tackle diff    1st      7th

Lloyd expects us to respond to last week's shocker and blow Gold Coast away. "You wouldn't want to be playing Richmond this week".

Forgot to post this last night but Caro also said Hardwick now refuses to go on 3aw because of her and her comments from earlier on in the year about him and his new relationship.

You can sometimes have more of a voice by denying it to those who need it to stay relevant

"I think they'll rebound next year, but I think there's bigger growth at other teams."

Matthew Lloyd takes a look at which players have scope to improve next season and whether it's worth 'going again'.

Which Tigers can improve in 2022?

Not                       Can improve
Cotchin                 Dusty
Riewoldt                Nankervis     
Edwards                Prestia
Grimes                  Lynch
Houli                     Vlastuin
                            *Lambert
                            *Bolton
                            *Baker
                            *Short

* Without the genuine superstars around them can they be at their best?

No Balta? Broad? Broad had improved every year.

What about RCD? He shows plenty. Mansell too. Stack.

Plenty of growth to be had.
