    Hey Toxic - Melbourne, inner east. Something about these appeals to me; https://www.golfbox.com.au/clubs/packages/wilson-tour-rx-package-steel-shafts/ Or maybe these;https://www.golfclearanceoutlet.com.au/golf-clubs/completegolfsets/ram-g-force-complete-golf-package.html then use the drummond...

    Alright will start to take a look. What then do I do with the Drummond voucher? ($200+)

    ~175cm... Have only had a few hits at the Driving Range... I feel like I should buy a full set and have a Drummond Voucher as well - but their options seem somewhat limited.

    Golf Golf Clubs/Equipment Discussion.

    Got a bit of cash for Christmas and was looking at getting into golf. Was wondering in what order I should invest in clubs and lessons. I'll take a lesson shortly, but not sure if I should buy something online (ie these) just to tie me over or buy something a bit lower quality at a Drummond Golf...

    Richmond hierarchy aimed for finals, not a premiership

    Nothing's stopping you from providing the stats... I'm just quoting from his most recent performances - If I was quoting from further back you'd tell me to stop 'living in the past'... As I said, I've watched him for 6+ years. Put whatever stats you want to the argument...

    Richmond hierarchy aimed for finals, not a premiership

    So you're inside his head now? I'm sure you can provide them. In truth, they're irrelevant - but they demonstrate that what I've observed empirically is reinforced statistically. So in returning to what was quoted, bringing Yarran into the team won't 'drastically minimise turnovers'...

    Richmond hierarchy aimed for finals, not a premiership

    Issuing an ultimatum on a forum... I've watched him for 7 years. At training and in matches. At intraclubs, during the NAB cup, and in finals. He turns the ball over when he shouldn't. He misses targets and makes mistakes by hand. Last year he averaged 16 touches of which 3 were clangers...

    Richmond hierarchy aimed for finals, not a premiership

    Sorry, you're wrong. For discussion sake, he ranks poorly (?) in Clangers last year - and over his career. And for someone that's not a prolific ball winner - that's a massive indicator. He can kick the ball with precision like few others in the league, but he's definitely not a reliable kick...

    Yarran is renowned for turning the ball over...

    ... the worrying ageing Carlton list. Is it really a 'reset' for the 'baby blues'?

    The funny thing was in 2010-2012 when we were beating you in R1 by 40+ points, we were the younger team, with a less experienced side on the park. It's all immaterial in the end.

    "did he touch the ball before it went over"

    The comparison is void - in that you make one action - the kick - when the ball is in play, and you are technically then penalised twice. I cannot think of any rule/instance where the player in possession of the ball is penalised for his actions with a 50 metre penalty.

    "did he touch the ball before it went over"

    Why? If you have possession of the football in play - you can do what you like with it... The penalty against you kicking it is the free kick.

    Our Next Coach: Who do you want Pt II

    We were conned into removing Ratten due to a glory-hungry board, stuck with an archaic mentality. He was as good a coach as all of those mentioned, and was clearly a better man manager than the three of them put together. He had one of the youngest 22s to make the finals in those three years...
